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.

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!

Girls getaway

We had the best time at this cozy cottage! The view is stunning, making for many slow mornings listening to the waves crash, and evening spent by the fire under the clearest skies and stars. The cottage was equipped with everything we needed, and close to everything. Jen’s recommendations for restaurants were wonderful and we enjoyed cooking meals in the sweet kitchen that reminded me of my summers at family cabins growing up. The beds were all super comfortable as well. We absolutely will be back and can’t wait to explore more!!

Get Away by the Bay

My husband, I and our Portuguese Water Dog spent a long weekend at the Chalet. The house was just as advertised, not new, but very comfortable, a fantastic view, and all the amenities we required. A bonus was finding the complete collection of Walter Farley’s “ Black Stallion” books in the bookcase. I read them all as a child and was delighted to see them again! Daisy the dog also gives the place “ four paws up”.

A lovely getaway on the water!

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.

Door County in the fall....

The property is located right on Lake/Bay. It is a beautiful location. The property is tired. The beds were really great for sleeping. The views from inside the house on the lake side were wonderful. It was a dreary time that we were there but it allowed us time to explore the parks and Washington Island. Wickman House was exceptional!

Beautiful location

The Chalet is located in wooded area on Garrett's Bay. It was quiet and peaceful. The Chalet is very well maintained, nicely decorated, with all the amenities you'd want in a lakefront cabin. The hot tub was an extra treat. There are a handful of restaurants, I highly recommend Blue Bear for breakfast, and drinking establishments, Cider House was great, the location does require some driving to points of intrest, though nothing is more than 30 minutes away. I highly recommend The Chalet for anyone looking for a quiet family retreat. I'm hoping to plan another stay next year with my sons family.
