Door County's Chalet On The Shore

Our home is set on a quaint piece of Door County's shoreline. Just steps from the waters of Sturgeon Bay, its location is very private, yet convenient to the city. The Chalet was built by my father in law, who spent his life working as a shipbuilder in Sturgeon Bay. Much of the structure is constructed with wood from ships dating back to the building of mine-sweepers during World War II. We've worked hard to try and update the home without losing its true uniqueness.

The Chalet hosts 3 bedroom-2 baths. With its distinctive structure, the cathedral ceilings present an open concept living/dining room area plus a newly remodeled kitchen with upgraded appliances.
Captains Quarters- The upstairs loft including a balcony provide the master with a king bed and en suite bathroom. The balcony adds extra sleeping with a futon.
On the main floor there are 2 bedrooms & a shared full bath.
Queens Stateroom-Has a bed fit for a Queen. Also a Pack & Play and an air mattress are in this bedroom closet.
Crews Quarters- Supplied with 4 twin beds (1-Bunk Bed & 1-Trundle Bed), to accommodate added guests. As well as the toddler rail for one of the twin-beds. Full-size laundry facilities are tucked in the closet of this room.
Also a Queen Sleeper Sofa is located in the shared living room on the main floor.

From the Chalet's large patio you will enjoy the early morning sunshine peaking from the east and the evenings captivating colors lighting up the surrounding bay. We hope you take pleasure in its unique hidden setting and think you're going to love the charm of our shoreside retreat.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a sofa bed.

We had a wonderful stay in this house. We had great access to the water and were able to swim right off the doc with our large dog. The kitchen and grill had plenty of room and supplies for us to cook our meals. The yard and patio were great for relaxing and eating meals with a view of the water. We had a wonderful stay!

Great Door County Family Vacation

After 32 years, my husband and I returned to Door County with my son's family for a week of family fun. The Chalet on the Shore was the perfect home for all of us. With young children from 1-8, there were activities available for all, from playing yard games to fishing off the dock and kayaking. Our hosts could not have been more accommodating and we look forward to making this a new annual family tradition.

Charming lakefront home with plenty of amenities

This cozy bay front home made our first trip to Door County truly memorable. We appreciated the many thoughtful items offered at the house that made it comfortable. Our family enjoyed sunset picnics overlooking the water, leisure bike rides on country roads, napping on the hammock, fishing, boating, kayaking and more. There really was something for everyone and we couldn’t have asked for a better summer getaway experience.

Our little secret...

This place is amazing, but I’d kinda like to keep it a secret ;) So cozy, clean and very well kept. The owners thought of everything! No need to travel further north as we prefer a somewhat rustic less commercialized area yet near everything we need from groceries to a quaint downtown to sandy beaches and boat rentals. It was perfect for our family and we intend to return.

Cozy and charming chalet

This sweet chalet by the water provided a relaxing getaway while being convenient to Door County for day drives. The stay provided all the amenities one would wish for, from a cozy fireplace indoors to kayaks and bikes and a hammock. We enjoyed fishing off the dock with the poles provided. Everything was sparkling clean and the owners were responsive and engaged. There are so many places to hike/walk just a stone's throw away. We would most definitely love to come back!

Ahhh.... Fishing & Hunting Locale!

The Chalet is absolutely perfect. We hunt and fish. We had a place to dock boat & we were minutes from bow hunting. Beautiful sunsets, geese galore & neighbors aren't too close. The house is quiet, end of road privacy, very clean, and a cozy fireplace. The ambiance is perfect for a Door County Getaway. Jennie was available and attentive to our needs, she is an amazing lady!
