Updated Door County Lake House | Sunsets, Fire Pit, Family-Friendly

Welcome to Thenell's Beach House, hosted by Simple Life Rentals! This fully remodeled two-story waterfront home is conveniently located between Sturgeon Bay and Egg Harbor, approximately 5 miles north of Sturgeon Bay and 1 mile south of George Pinney County Park (Stone Quarry) and a public boat launch. Gorgeous views of the bay await you in this home that sleeps 4 (reduced from 6 due to a Village ordinance).

Enjoy the sunset views from the home or the large deck overlooking the water. You will have panoramic views of Potawatomi State Park and the Sherwood Point Lighthouse. You can hear the waves lapping the shore as you cozy up around the fire pit. There is plenty of space for the kids to run and play outdoors. It has a semi-private beach shared with Thenell's Cottage next door.

Thenell's Cottage is a great additional rental option if you are looking for additional space to sleep up to 4. We welcome groups; feel free to reach out to us to book both places!
