Old Fashioned Suite - Cottage on the shores of Lake Michigan

The Old Fashioned Suite is a quaint cottage on the shores of Lake Michigan. The main room is an old log cabin. We remodeled this comfortable space into the main living area with a wood-burning fireplace, bathroom, and laundry accommodations.

Added to the front of the cabin are a new kitchen, counter for cooking/eating, and dining area. Above the living area is a roomy loft with bunk beds. Facing the lake, at the back of the cabin, is a bright and sunny sitting room with a pull-out sofa and a master bedroom with a queen-size bed.

A spacious deck faces the lake and provides a porch swing and umbrella-topped table and chairs for open-air dining. Adirondack chairs surround a large fire pit near the shoreline. Sunrises and moon showers can often be seen.

It is fun to see the large ships and sailboats as you enjoy the sight and sounds of the waves. The nearby ship canal and the Land Trust have many hiking trails and there are several sandy beaches that are accessible by foot, bike, or car. The property is located in a secluded setting far off the main road making it a wonderful quiet escape to enjoy campfires, swimming, and outside activities.
The cabin features a kitchen and a balcony or patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 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.

Clean cabin, beautiful view of the lake, rustic cabin feel with the log portion of the home where the beautiful fireplace is, yet modern amenities throughout the house. Wife and i loved sitting by the fireplace with a wine in the evenings. Close enough to get to everywhere in door county in short order. We really enjoyed our stay and will be back.

This was our third time staying at the Old Fashioned Suite. We’re still driving home and already booked next year! It is so quiet and we love just sitting by the lake. It’s a great location and easy to access lots of activities.
