Great Waterview home in Door County Sleeps 8-10

WALKING DISTANCE TO ALL YOU WILL NEED


Located in beautiful Door County Wisconsin in the quaint village of Ellison Bay on the upper most part of the peninsula. This home is situated close to the water with views from the tower room WITH A WONDERFUL 12X15 foot deck overlooking the bay and picturesque Ellison Bay Bluffs. A great area for sailing, biking, hiking, shopping, galleries, theatre, star gazing, vegging out, and my personal favorite (check out the photo) salmon fishing.

The home is beautifully appointed with comfortable overstuffed furniture,hardwood floors, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, cathedral ceilings and much more. According to our past guests the best feature of the house is the huge screened-in porch off the kitchen. New in August 2018 a generator has been added to the home so that you will never be without electricity, Wifi, or air conditioning etc.

New in 2016....If you would like to book a 3 hour boat tour ($500) contact the owner.

This is not a 'bare bones' rental unit. This is our family vacation home which we would like to share as time permits.

Preferably rentals will be Sat-Sat and if you click on the calendar you will be able to tell at a glance what dates are still available.

PLEASE NOTE...ADDITIONAL dates may be available UPON REQUEST. Please don’t hesitate to ask. At this point the home is able to sleep 8 people in beds. 4 more in sleeper sofas BUT KEEP IN MIND there is only one full bathroom on the second floor and a half bath on the first floor. (VRBO’s computer will not allow me to list 1.5 bathrooms. They insist on listing it as two and I do not want my guests to be in for a surprise once they arrive)

ALSO The first floor bedroom and bathroom will NOT be available for any reservations made AFTER May 10, 2022. This “wing” of the home which also includes the owner’s studio and laundry area is separate ( separate entrance, separate kitchen etc.) and will POSSIBILY be in use by the owner.


Two of the upstairs bedrooms are furnished with queen beds and the 3rd upstairs bedroom is ready to sleep 7 with a double/single bunk bed, 2 single beds and a sleeper sofa. Just outside this bedroom is the loft which overlooks the great room and fireplace and also is equipped with a new sleeper-sofa.

The loft is an ideal space for the kids to go to play games etc. A spiral staircase will take you from the loft to the tower room....which is sure to become the kid's favorite place to hang out.......or Mom and Dad's favorite place to watch the sunsets over the gorgeous Ellison Bay waters. We added a large deck off the tower room so that you may be outside while enjoying the view over the water.

The location of the home ideal. Within walking distance to the Marina, the Pioneer Store (our local grocery), galleries , shops, and restaurants. It is also a short walk to the Ellison Bay Beach with it's tennis courts, beach and playground.

Due to the covenants of the condo association we are not able to welcome pets. We are also a non-smoking property.

I hope you will take the time to look into this property and the great Northern Wisconsin vacationland that encompasses this area. You will fall in love with it.

Inaccurate description
!Be wary of this property owner! The bad news: The home owner listed the house as a four bed but it was only a three bedroom. In addition the pull out couch in the area they claimed was the 4th bedroom was broken. So not only did my teenage neice not have a room she also did not have a bed. Talked to owner who blamed VRBO for the false description something about their algorithm..... she did change it during our stay so she was able to get around "the algorithm" after we complained to her. I was the primary point of contact, she was kind and applogetic and offered a modest refund (the cleaning fee). I accepted this resolution, and defended the owner because she came off as so nice. Other members of my family felt we paid a lot of money for a 4 bedroom house that we didn't get and were very frustrated. The thing is we never even got the modest refund. :/ So much for my defense of her. I waited this many months to review to give her ample time to follow through she didn't. The good news: the house is beautiful and in a great location

Beautiful setting
Located in a great part of Door County, off the beaten path but everything still accessible. It was nice to have the general store and coffee shop all within walking distance. The rental was wonderful; included all the cooking and eating utensils you would ever need, as well as access to pantry/spices, the grill, TP/paper towel, cleaning products, extra keys for the condo and beach/bath towels. Really nice to have the sheets/bedding provided. The kids really enjoyed all the games available and I loved reading through the assortment of books on the screened in porch every morning. Also very nice to have notes with heads up about the house from the owner. Not all places do that. The beds in the two guest rooms were great but the beds and flat pillows in the "bunk room" not so great. Two of our guests left with aching backs. Also, no access to laundry. With a big family and long stay it would have been nice to throw a load or two in. For shorter visits, probably not a problem. Lastly, access to the pier is not as close to the condo as we anticipated. Overall, really nice property.

Great family getaway
Our first family visit to Door County was so wonderful. The home was perfect for us in many ways. Very quiet neighborhood, home had everything we needed including kid-friendly things like toys/games, whole kid loft with bunk beds and play area. Screened in porch was so peaceful. Home is walking distance to shore where we were able to go watch sunsets multiple times. This is the owner’s actual home so there are many personal items. Our kids are very good about not touching items though so it wasn’t an issue for us. Home is well stocked with everything you need. I enjoy being able to cook our own meals and not having to go out every meal. Owner communicates well and gave us great advice on where to go for things. Ellison Bay is quieter than the other towns which we also appreciated. We enjoyed our stay tremendously and cannot wait to return.

Family Reunion
This property worked great for us. There were plenty of beds,clean & comfy. Lots of towels & good shower. The kitchen was well stocked so that we could cook meals there. Walking distance to 2 places for meals if we needed to eat out. Ten minutes from the other house with relatives .attending the reunion. Close proximity to many other Door County "want to sees." Perfect for us.

Family stay in Ellison Bay
Our extended family of 11 (ages infant - 72 yrs) thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely, clean, comfortable, spacious home in Ellison Bay. We had everything we needed for our five day stay. Lyn Hale, the property owner, was very accommodating and easy to communicate with throughout our stay. We especially enjoyed the quieter location, while still being just a short drive to the “hot spots” of Door County! We also enjoyed the secluded backyard, short walk to the marina, and upper deck for a nice view of Green Bay (and stargazing!) We highly recommend this property and would stay here again!!

Lovely home
Lyn’s home is lovely getaway! Our adult children spent every evening in the screened in porch playing cards. We all decided that was our favorite place in the house. The location is fantastic. It is a quick walk to watch the sunset at night or to walk to get a cup of coffee in the morning. Highly recommend!

Lovely stay!
We had four adults and three children stay for a long weekend. We very much enjoyed the house. Enough space for everyone by far, stocked very well, and right in a nice quiet area like we hoped to be. Walking distance to a grocery store and a couple restaurants and dark enough at night to see a fair amount of stars. House was exactly as listed and we all had an excellent time!
