Unique architect-designed home on waterfront bluff
I recently had the pleasure of staying at a truly unique property that I can't stop thinking about. The house boasts an incredible glass roof that allows for unobstructed views of the sky, stars, and the surrounding landscape. The house is perfectly positioned to make the most of its surroundings. On clear nights, lying in bed and looking up at the stars was simply magical. What sets this house apart is how it seamlessly blends with nature. It's an oasis of peace, ideal for anyone seeking a retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Highly recommend this house for anyone who appreciates beauty, design, and nature. Kimberly was such an accommodating host, you’ll feel welcomed and well taken care of every step of the way. Highly recommend!

Sea Glass Cottage
This was our second time staying at Blair's cottage and we would absolutely stay here again on our next Door County trip. The cottage feels so peaceful and private with stunning views of Lake Michigan. We loved hearing the lake (and nothing else) from inside the cottage. And it was a 15 minute drive to Sister Bay when we wanted to go out to eat. This is a special place!

Cozy Lakeside Cottage on White Potato Lake
Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! From the booking to anything we needed and Larry is an awesome host! The lake, the camp fire and the cabin, is all very nice and welcoming. Infinite stars from us! My family loved it! You can stay by the lake all day and hang out and you’ll never get bored. Creed (our four legged child), loved the place as well and he was happy as a clam the whole time. We couldn’t ask for a better lake house to go to and we are definitely coming back! Larry, thank you so much! You are truly and an amazing host!

Sturgeon Bay Waterfront Cottage, Private beach.
We were only there for a weekend but we enjoyed our stay. Little cute cottage located right on the water. The living room was all windows overlooking the water. A two minute drive from town. Had a great time here and would recommend to anyone.

Wismar Cabin Waterfront with Private Beach
A beautiful cabin right on Lake Michigan near Rowley's Bay. The place was clean, cozy, and just as advertised.

Green Bay/Door County Waterfront 3BR Hot Tub
Larry, Was an amazing hose from the minute I booked his beautiful home. The house was advertised and amazing.

Sunset Cabin on Cedarbirch Island, Door County
Beautiful views, very peaceful, beautiful cabin. Sawyers Harbor restaurant was great as well! Thank you for your amazing hospitality. :)

All Things Life on the Bay
We had a great stay at Lisa’s! The house was exactly as described and had more than everything we needed. Lisa takes great care of her house, it was spotless and beautiful. She’s an above and beyond host, I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. Wonderful experience, and one of the best most accurate places I’ve stayed with air bnbs.

Fin de la Terre - magical cabin steps to the lake
We had a wonderful stay here! The place was cozy, clean and had everything we needed. Being so close to Lake Michigan was amazing. This cabin is perfect for morning walks and sunset views. We absolutely enjoyed Newport State Park! It is beautiful, quiet and has lots of great trails. And we liked Sister Bay – cute small town with some good restaurants. Would definitely come back! Thank you Kira.

Waterfront Studio Cottage with Whirlpool
nice place! staff was friendly and the room was cozy. we tried to use the Jacuzzi tub and it was a little dirty but other than that it was a great place to stay.

Door County 4 Bedroom Retreat~Outdoor privacy
one of the best host and home away from home. Super clean, equipped with all the necessary items, patio, garden, play area, games, books, TV etc. etc. you have everything in this place. Alison was very helpful and responded with 5-10 mins. I loved her house and already recommended it my friends.

Cape Code Home Near Door County
Cute home that has been nicely remodeled. the neighborhood was quiet which is always a plus. I was glad there were 2 bedrooms to pick from on the main floor so I didn't have to run up and down stairs to the kitchen to warm bottles at night. The house was clean, kitchen was nice, furniture comfortable. would recommend and stay here again.

Northwind Cottage #1 - Cozy Dog Friendly Retreat
We loved every minute at the cottage. The only thing we would ask for is some kitchen towels. Also, my husband tightened the short rail up the stairs. That's all good, no complaints, really, just comments! We're thinking of booking it again for next fall! I would stay anyplace of Alison's.

Algoma’s Perfect Corner
Super cute Airbnb. Very welcoming and beds are extra comfortable. Incredibly clean and a lot of extras included. Response was within minutes when we needed wood for the fire pit. Definitely recommend this adorable place to stay.

Heart of the Door Homestead (Pet walking trails)
It was a great place to stay! Very relaxing!

I would never stay no where else when visiting Green Bay . Very good for families with kids . From lotion to seasoning for food they had it. Top tier Hosting. They definitely should recieve an award from how comfortable they made there place to host guest. Was definitely home away from home

NFL Draft or Foghorn Bay Getaway
Excellent stay and time spent with family. This served our purposes. The house had many extras including the use of a grill, a fully stocked kitchen, extra t-p & paper towels and clean bedding and towels. We enjoyed the view (on the non-foggy days), and wished that it wasn’t winter, so that we could have gone out on the canoes/kayaks. Luke and Giza’s place is a great location, and nice and comfy. We felt right at home and if the opportunity arose we’d stay here again!

Guesthouse on the water 3.9 miles to Lambeau
A great little house. would be perfect for a football party, but I stayed there for the holidays with my kids and it was great for us, too!

Stunning waterfront location in Sturgeon Bay!
Kevin and Christie were great hosts. We really enjoyed the location and being able to watch the tugs go through the channel. House had everything we needed for a quiet family getaway. Thanks for sharing it with us!

Family Beachfront Getaway
Me and my family enjoyed our time here. There were tons of stuff to do especially for the kids. Jason was super proactive which made communicating with him easy. This place definitely instilled beautiful memories with my family. Definitely worth checking out!

101 | Luxury | Downtown Sister Bay | Door County
Great time! Beautiful accommodations! Mary allowed us to check in much earlier than we were originally told, which allowed for almost a whole added day to our weekend. She even had Champagne waiting for us. I would definitely stay here again with friends or family!

Anapaula House
My kids loved all the ‘hidden’ spaces. I made great use of the exceptional kitchen/dining space. Our dogs were welcome and enjoyed watching the wildlife out on the lake expanse. Plus my husband (a disabled veteran) felt peaceful, safe & at home. We all enjoyed watching several eagles (at least one mated pair with a nest) bring nature into a wonderful up-close view for us. Bonus: after we’d arrived home we discovered a Kindle (pw) got left behind. We felt foolish and like a total pain. No worries! Jay went above and beyond to utilize its retrieval and ensure it was returned, despite our four-hour travel distance away. He was clear, respectful, and kind during our entire stay. We hope to return to this rental again. And would highly recommend any of Jay’s properties. They’re gorgeous, classy & clean but still feel like a home away from home.

Entire Townhouse -Escape to Door County
We really enjoyed our time at Mario's rental. The townhome is well appointed and in a great location. We enjoyed use of the clubhouse. Mario was very responsive to our needs and a friendly host. Highly recommend!

Your guide to Sturgeon Bay
All About Sturgeon Bay
Just 45 minutes northwest of Green Bay and the largest city on the Door Peninsula in eastern Wisconsin, the city of Sturgeon Bay is a busy shipping corridor. The historic Sturgeon Bay Bridge, known locally as Michigan Street Bridge, was once the only link between the mainland and northern Door County. Now on the National Register of Historic Places, the bridge no longer goes all the way across, but you can walk most of it and take in views of the ships sailing by. Today, the Oregon Street Bridge and Bay View Bridge cross the bay and make for fun walks, runs, or cycle rides.
Sturgeon Bay has many parks, of which Sunset Park is the largest. Potawatomi State Park lies at the edge of the city and is named in honor of the Native American tribe who inhabited these shores. You’ll find biking and hiking trails throughout the park, including the 2.8-mile eastern trailhead of the Ice Age National Scenic Trail with interesting glacial characteristics. No visit to Sturgeon Bay is complete without a visit to historic Third Avenue, with its shops, shipbuilders, museums, art galleries, and restaurants where locally caught bass is always on the menu. Consider taking the city’s self-guided historic walk to discover it all.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Sturgeon Bay
Sturgeon Bay’s humid climate means it’s warm in spring, when the cherry trees are in bloom, and summer, when temperatures are their most comfortable and rentals in Sturgeon Bay become very popular. During the winter, temperatures fall below zero and it’s very windy and snowy. This cold period can last up to five months, from November to April. Fall in Sturgeon Bay brings harvest festivals, including Fall Fest and Pumpkin Patch. If you visit in September and October, you can expect fewer numbers of visitors.
Top things to do in Sturgeon Bay
Cave Point County Park
The rugged limestone cliffs of Cave Point County Park are popular with swimmers, divers, hikers, and photographers. The rock faces — carved out by centuries of crashing waves — surround Lake Michigan’s blue waters, while a multitude of underwater caverns that you can’t see from land run along the shoreline. The Black Trail at Cave Point leads south to the Whitefish Dunes, which are part of another state park.
Door County Maritime Museum
You’ll learn about Sturgeon Bay’s shipbuilding and maritime history at the Door County Maritime Museum. The waterfront museum takes you through Sturgeon Bay’s brave captains and bold inventors, fishermen, and lighthouse keepers. Many of the exhibits allow you to see how these tradespeople lived and worked in past eras.
Sturgeon Bay Canal North Pierhead Light
From a long pier, you can view Sturgeon Bay’s bright red North Pierhead Light, first built to guide vessels through the Lake Michigan end of the ship canal in 1881. The building is now a fully operational Coast Guard station that doubles as a great place to catch the sunset during the summer.
