- "We stayed at the cottage for two nights during our trip to Door County. The location was great, right by the water with a backyard where you can sit and enjoy the quiet view of the bay. The cottage was very clean and cozy, and had everything we needed. Andre was very friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed our stay and will come back again." - "2 minute walk to the shore of Sturgeon Bay. Beautiful, breathtaking sunsets. Host was great. We love the small ma and pa cottage properties. Much more quiet and peaceful. Close to the attractions we wanted to visit. Washington Island, kayaking, hiking. Our experience was top notch and would highly recommend to others."

The Cottage is tucked on a wooded lot along the shores of Lake Michigan on scenic Glidden Drive. The family-friendly location features a large private sand beach and close access to hiking in the Shivering Sands Natural Area.

The Cottage has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. It features an open kitchen, living and dining area with a wood-burning fireplace, gas furnace, ceiling fan and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Lake Michigan.

The kitchen (new in 2019) features a full-size refrigerator, stove and oven, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, blender and dining table. All pots, pans, plates, glasses, cutlery and everything else you'll need for cooking is there for you to use.

One bedroom has a queen-sized bed, the other has a full-size bed. Both beds have new mattresses, cotton sheets, a lightweight cotton blanket and a heavyweight down comforter.

Outside, enjoy a large front porch, a charcoal grill and plentiful opportunities for walking, sunbathing and swimming.

Sturgeon Bay (8 miles away) offers grocery stores, laundromats, a YMCA, museums, theaters, a boat launch and more. Fish Creek, Egg Harbor, Jacksonport, Bailey's Harbor and other towns are also close by. Enjoy shopping and sight seeing and then return to your own retreat on Door County's 'quiet side.'

Kid-friendly activities in Door County include pick-your-own berries and cherries, miniature golf, an old-time drive-in movie theatre, lighthouses, museums, horseback riding and lots of ice cream stops.

If your kids are older, bring your bicycles, as Whitefish Dunes State Park, Cave Point County Park and warm Clark’s Lake are all an easy 7-mile pedal away from the Cottage.

Right at the Cottage, of course, you've got your own 'sand box' and a 'big swimming pool' right out your front door. You and the kids will enjoy building sand castles, collecting and painting rocks, catching crawfish in nearby Shivering Sands Creek, watching wildlife, flying kites and lots more.

In the evenings, build a fire in the outdoor fire pit and make s'mores or enjoy a fire and a board game inside. There's TV, cable, a DVD player and WiFi if you can't live without it, but you'll find lots of other things to do too.

The Cottage sits just outside the 485-acre Shivering Sands Natural Area, a property of the Door County Land Trust. The area, along Glidden Drive and south of Whitefish Dunes State Park, contains 19 natural landscapes, including dunes, kettles, swales, old and present shorelines, small lakes, streams, ponds, fens, bogs and forests. The area is recognized as an Important Bird Habitat by the Audubon Society. There are marked hiking trails that you can enter in several places along Glidden Drive.

Boat launch opportunities: If you’re a boater, launch in Sturgeon Bay and choose between fishing the harbor, Green Bay or Lake Michigan. Or use Glidden Drive’s public Lake Michigan boat launch located just a few miles south of The Cottage.

The Cottage has been in our family since it was built more than 50 years ago. We started renting our family cottage in 2009, which has been a great success for us and for our visitors. It's a haven that we've chosen to share. Thank you and enjoy!

- "The perfect spot to relax in Door County on the quiet Lake Michigan side of the peninsula. Cozy cottage with all the conveniences needed for a one or two week stay. Just steps away from the beach and the water. And if you're looking for music, plays, restaurants, shopping, all of that is just 30-40 minutes away on the touristy Green Bay side of the peninsula." - "This was our 5th year spending a week at the cottage and it was perfect, as always. The cabin is cozy, clean, and well-stocked; the beach is gorgeous; and Susan is always easy to communicate with. We've already booked for next summer and can't wait to come back!"

Nature abounds at this peaceful cottage for one or two. If you're looking just to get away from it all, write the Great American Novel, or kick back and relax, this is the perfect place for you! Sit by the campfire, enjoy the deck or on those cooler nights, light a fire in the fireplace and get cozy. Cottage has been completely renovated and redone from head to toe. Perfect for one or two or a couple with a baby. King size bed in bedroom with a back wall of windows that overlook the rear yard and woods on an acre of land. About 10 minutes from Sturgeon Bay, which is filled with quaint shops and delightful restaurants.
For you safety we do have one security camera located on property. Camera facing entrance to the driveway.
Garage on property is not part of rental agreement.
Thank you, The Hideaway

- "The little house was perfect for our stay. Love the wallpaper. Had almost everything we needed … no corkscrew for a bottle of wine… whaaat!? Otherwise no complaints." - "Lovely place in an idyllic setting!!!" - "Secluded location, but only a 10 min drive into town, this place made a perfect base for spending a week in Door County. The cottage is comfortable and completely updated, large bed and sectional for relaxing and recharging. Great communication from the hosts, the cottage is east to find and access. Wi-Fi seems to be added recently, I would not rely on this however, so either have your online planning done beforehand, or do it closer to town. You should be here to unplug anyway :) Would recommend and would stay again."

You will not find a nicer place to stay while you're relaxing and enjoying all that Door County has to offer!

- "The pool area and hot tub looking over the water and boats was amazing. Shannon was great and any issue we had was resolved right away. She even sent us a list of ideas for things to do! My only downfall (and not really even one) is that the picture of the condo on line was not the exact one we were staying in. There are 3 condos so it was probably one of the other ones. All in all, we had a great time!" - "Shannon was amazing to deal with from the very start. We stayed for an extended period of time since we have family in the area and were leaving the Texas heat. The layout was great for our three young boys and the two of us adults. Access to the pool and watching the boats from the marina come in and out were huge hits. Any hiccups during our stay were addressed immediately and our interaction with every staff member was nothing short of amazing."

- "The cabin we stayed at, hosted by Andre, was perfect for our trip to Door County. There are 4 cabin(s) that are located at the property on the northern side of Sturgeon Bay and was a very peaceful and quiet property. Location on the northern side made it easy to explore the rest of Door County. Andre was a perfect host and gave us great recommendations for eatery and attractions." - "Had a wonderful trip Clean cabins located close to the water with very helpful host"

- "Andre was helpful throughout the entire process. He guided us to good restaurants in the area, too. I loved that our firewood was provided! Nothing better than a campfire on the lake!" - "The property manager was really helpful and always available. Nicely situated by the water and in a very convenient location." - "The cabin was so clean and well equipped ( kitchen,bathroom, towels) Outdoor space has many chairs for viewing the lake and next to cabin. Outdoor games available. It was so nice being greeted by Andre, and having him walk us through the cabin and pointing out things. Bed was comfortable and for me a bonus in the bedroom was an osolating fan. (white noise) It was really neat to see his Dad's artwork on the walls!"

Property manager was very responsive and we enjoyed our stay. Highly recommend." - "Cozy cabin with a beautiful view. Maybe 30-40 yards from the water. Beds were comfy and the place was clean. I only wish there was a washer/dryer, but we survived okay without it." - "It was so relaxing to be at Rustic Charm in a quiet and private atmosphere.

Alisa was super nice and even though she lived right next door, she respected our privacy. The nats are a little overwhelming at times but you’re right on the water so expect it. No complaints from us…I would stay there again if we decide to adventure that way again." - "The Lilly Pad Cottage is very private and had everything we could want. The cottage itself is very comfortable and cute. We enjoyed being right on the water. It was really nice having a fire pit and grill at our disposal.
