Unique architect-designed home on waterfront bluff
I recently had the pleasure of staying at a truly unique property that I can't stop thinking about. The house boasts an incredible glass roof that allows for unobstructed views of the sky, stars, and the surrounding landscape. The house is perfectly positioned to make the most of its surroundings. On clear nights, lying in bed and looking up at the stars was simply magical. What sets this house apart is how it seamlessly blends with nature. It's an oasis of peace, ideal for anyone seeking a retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Highly recommend this house for anyone who appreciates beauty, design, and nature. Kimberly was such an accommodating host, you’ll feel welcomed and well taken care of every step of the way. Highly recommend!

Sea Glass Cottage
This our third time staying at the Sea Glass Cottage and each stay has been better than the last. The proximity to the lake and views are next level and the cabin is cozy with a grand fireplace and all the amenities one could ask for. Furthermore, Blair is an excellent and communicative host. We hope to continue booking with her for years to come.

Dogs Stay Free! Waterfront Door County Cottage
Beautiful spot. Incredible sunsets. Panoramic views of the water through the front windows. We had a wonderful time. Dan does a great job making both guests and their dogs feel welcome!

Wismar Cabin Waterfront with Private Beach
We had a great time staying at the cabin. It is perfect for a lowkey getaway and the location can’t be beat. Hoping to come back again soon!

Green Bay/Door County Waterfront 3BR Hot Tub
We had a lovely time here! Very clean and great location!

Gull Cottage Waterfront Home on Washington Island
The location is to die for! Such a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the the views and water! The dogs and my girls loved slashing around in the rocks and water. The home had very comfortable living spaces, a nice sized kitchen, and a great assortment of sleeping options. Highly recommend the Red Cup Coffee! We are already talking about when we can come back again for a longer stay!

Relaxing Waterfront Door County Lake House
Don't sleep on renting this place - it's WONDERFUL! It's right on the water, so quiet and peaceful, and the home itself is perfect for a small group or family. It was clean, well appointed, and pleasant to be in inside and out. Brianne was easy to communicate with. Definitely five stars and worth a stay!

The Riley's Bay Beach House
We spent four nights in the cabin and truly enjoyed our stay. The cabin was pristine and offers a lovely, wide view of the bay. Don and Pam have made an effort to offer not only that built-in view, but also front and back yards with pretty flowers and plants. They have also clearly made an effort to offer up a pretty home with many special touches. We appreciated that the cabin was stocked with many helpful items, such as Saran, baggies, coffee, seasonings - all the things you don't want to have buy and then toss at the end of a trip barely used. Plus, we found this area to be a good jumping off point for the entire peninsula and handy to the necessities, such as a grocery store in Sturgeon Bay. We also enjoyed many walks around the neighborhood, which is woodsy and beautiful.

The green house was perfect for our needs. Great host!! Thank you!

Cozy & Relaxing Wooded Home; Close to Everything!
Perfect stay! The house was clean, host was extremely responsive, and the location was central to everything in Door County. Would definitely recommend and would definitely stay again! Thank you!

Fin de la Terre - magical cabin steps to the lake
Amazing timber framed cabin, authentic construction. Right next to the water, peaceful during the day, skylights above the bed were so nice.

Door County 4 Bedroom Retreat~Outdoor privacy
one of the best host and home away from home. Super clean, equipped with all the necessary items, patio, garden, play area, games, books, TV etc. etc. you have everything in this place. Alison was very helpful and responded with 5-10 mins. I loved her house and already recommended it my friends.

Northwind Cottage #1 - Cozy Dog Friendly Retreat
We loved every minute at the cottage. The only thing we would ask for is some kitchen towels. Also, my husband tightened the short rail up the stairs. That's all good, no complaints, really, just comments! We're thinking of booking it again for next fall! I would stay anyplace of Alison's.

Algoma’s Perfect Corner
We loved the apartment. It was very cute and well maintained. Pet friendly, and very accommodating. There isn't a pizza cutter, but we have yet to stay at an Air BNB that has one. Lol! Overall, it was lovely and will stay again when we come back.

Waterfront Door County Getaway | Cozy Cabin Vibes
Overall it was a very nice place, it was a quiet spot on the lake and the lake view was nice. I loved the fact that they have canoes and kayaks for you to use…. The lake didn’t have very good fishing tho, but that’s not their fault. My only complaint is that for the amount they charge for a cleaning fee I wouldn’t expect to find a stain on a blanket, which I did see a stain on one of the blankets

Heart of the Door Homestead (Pet walking trails)
It was a great place to stay! Very relaxing!
Vacation rentals with pools in Sturgeon Bay

Condo Indoor Pool Meadow Ridge #23 Egg Harbor, WI
Had a wonderful stay; kitchen was nicely stocked with amenities.

Indoor pool and hottub Egg Harbor condo #51
The condo was extremely clean and had everything we needed for the long weekend. Scott was easy to get ahold of and answered all of my questions quickly. If you are visiting Door County I highly recommend staying here!

Amazing Six Bedroom Green Bay Vacation Home!!
Thomas's home was a fantastic stay. Everything was there as expected and the place was very clean when we arrived. Thomas made sure to communicate often so we could have any requests met. I would highly recommend staying at Thomas's place again!

DoorCo Happy Place @Landmark Resort
Very cute and cozy place to get away in Door County! You cannot beat the location (5 minutes away from downtown Egg Harbor but still secluded enough to feel like it’s a peaceful getaway in nature). Also cannot beat the views of the sunset from the resort deck in the buildings right alongside the bluff looking down at the lake!

Spacious Private Condo + Indoor Pool!
We had an amazing stay at Leah's place! The communication was top-notch, Leah was quick to respond to all of our inquiries and provided helpful local tips that made our trip even more enjoyable. We appreciated the accommodation for the early arrival of our party of 7, coming from different locations. Leah's place was very relaxing. We definitely will be back.

[L a n d m a r k] condo! Spectacular Views!
Was a great home base for our family of four. The resort’s indoor pool was a hit with our kids, as was the lofted bedroom with their own tv. Appreciated being very centrally located to easily drive to many of the small towns on the peninsula and Carrie’s extra effort to confirm places to eat/drink/entertain which were open during the offseason.

Updated Townhouse Condo with Indoor Pool & Hot Tub
Wonderful Hosts! The condo was beautiful with modern updates and very comfy furniture. Loved the fact that it has two living spaces! Our kids could go play their video games in the upper living area while the adults hung out in the downstairs living room. This condo is a real gem in Door County and we can't wait to stay there again.

Cool City, Warm Pool
Our family had a lovely stay at this Airbnb. The pool was the highlight (especially during a cold and rainy spring break week) but the whole house was cozy and extremely well stocked for cooking and entertainment. Jill was a great communicator and offered us early check in and late check out. Lake Michigan is minutes away. Highly recommend this Airbnb!

Your guide to Sturgeon Bay
All About Sturgeon Bay
Just 45 minutes northwest of Green Bay and the largest city on the Door Peninsula in eastern Wisconsin, the city of Sturgeon Bay is a busy shipping corridor. The historic Sturgeon Bay Bridge, known locally as Michigan Street Bridge, was once the only link between the mainland and northern Door County. Now on the National Register of Historic Places, the bridge no longer goes all the way across, but you can walk most of it and take in views of the ships sailing by. Today, the Oregon Street Bridge and Bay View Bridge cross the bay and make for fun walks, runs, or cycle rides.
Sturgeon Bay has many parks, of which Sunset Park is the largest. Potawatomi State Park lies at the edge of the city and is named in honor of the Native American tribe who inhabited these shores. You’ll find biking and hiking trails throughout the park, including the 2.8-mile eastern trailhead of the Ice Age National Scenic Trail with interesting glacial characteristics. No visit to Sturgeon Bay is complete without a visit to historic Third Avenue, with its shops, shipbuilders, museums, art galleries, and restaurants where locally caught bass is always on the menu. Consider taking the city’s self-guided historic walk to discover it all.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Sturgeon Bay
Sturgeon Bay’s humid climate means it’s warm in spring, when the cherry trees are in bloom, and summer, when temperatures are their most comfortable and rentals in Sturgeon Bay become very popular. During the winter, temperatures fall below zero and it’s very windy and snowy. This cold period can last up to five months, from November to April. Fall in Sturgeon Bay brings harvest festivals, including Fall Fest and Pumpkin Patch. If you visit in September and October, you can expect fewer numbers of visitors.
Top things to do in Sturgeon Bay
Cave Point County Park
The rugged limestone cliffs of Cave Point County Park are popular with swimmers, divers, hikers, and photographers. The rock faces — carved out by centuries of crashing waves — surround Lake Michigan’s blue waters, while a multitude of underwater caverns that you can’t see from land run along the shoreline. The Black Trail at Cave Point leads south to the Whitefish Dunes, which are part of another state park.
Door County Maritime Museum
You’ll learn about Sturgeon Bay’s shipbuilding and maritime history at the Door County Maritime Museum. The waterfront museum takes you through Sturgeon Bay’s brave captains and bold inventors, fishermen, and lighthouse keepers. Many of the exhibits allow you to see how these tradespeople lived and worked in past eras.
Sturgeon Bay Canal North Pierhead Light
From a long pier, you can view Sturgeon Bay’s bright red North Pierhead Light, first built to guide vessels through the Lake Michigan end of the ship canal in 1881. The building is now a fully operational Coast Guard station that doubles as a great place to catch the sunset during the summer.
