Waterfront vacation home on Garrett Bay with private dock (summer season)

Enjoy one of the most beautiful views in all of Door County from The Chalet, a 3 bedroom, 2 bath pet friendly vacation home on Garrett Bay. The home has a large waterfront deck, private dock during the summer season, and a beach fire pit. There is a 10 person hot tub for warming up after your swim. Inside enjoy a large stone fire place, well-equipped kitchen with water views and three comfortable bedrooms. The Chalet is a perfect retreat with privacy. If you like to swim, kayak (two kayaks available), fish, boat, or just sit and enjoy nature this is the house for you. It is convenient to Ellison Bay and Gills Rock for restaurants, coffee, drinks, groceries, boat docks and much more. There is lots of green space between your home and the other home on the property (the fleetwing). There is one shared deck between both houses but each house has its own outdoor waterfront area and dock. It is Kid friendly, pet friendly, outdoor enthusiast friendly and the perfect quiet escape. It also offers superfast internet if you need to work during your stay.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

This chalet was the perfect base for our Door County weekend. It’s beautiful, spotless, and incredibly comfortable, with stunning views over the lake. We loved starting our mornings with coffee by the fire as the sun came up, and ending the day with a relaxing soak in the hot tub. The location was ideal—close enough to explore the peninsula, yet perfectly peaceful for an up-north retreat. Highly recommend—10/10!

We totally enjoyed this relaxing vacation at a well kept family home. It was clean and well kept. The hot tub was a plus as we looked out over the view of Lake Michigan! The house is very roomy with plenty of space for a large family. Nearby are hiking trails and plenty of quiet roads to bike on. There is an excellent farm to table, Italian restaurant in the neighborhood.-Della Porto. Communication with the owner was very easy. I would highly recommend this VRBO!

My spouse and I really enjoyed staying at the Chalet! The location was amazing, and being right by the water was delightful. We'll have to come back when the dock is in, and when we can kayak. Jen was a responsive and thoughtful host, and we greatly appreciate her hospitality.

A Great Weekend

Because my husband was injured in a recent bicycle accident, this was not an active trip for us. The Chalet was perfect; great view, comfortable house, and restaurants close by. We strolled with our dog, saw some beautiful sunsets, and enjoyed watching birds at the two feeders while sitting by the bay. A very restorative getaway!
