250' RELAXING WATERFRONT SPACIOUS REMODEL & WALKING TO SAND BEACH NEW FIREPLACE

A perfect location between Sister Bay and Baileys Harbor. This home is away from the hustle and bustle of the towns, yet conveniently situated when needing last minute items or when wanting a little more activity. We just finished extensive remodel in 2018.

This year we added a new Napoleon wood fireplace to make having a fire easy. To celebrate we are offering a bundle of dry hardwood free with every stay November - April, so you can enjoy. If you really like fires we would be happy to fill the wood bin for an extra charge of $30. Just let us know when you book.

We have installed Premier One UV Air whole house purifier system to the HVAC system. It is a germicidal air purifier that uses ultra violet light. Our cleaning company is using CDC cleaning guidelines on every cleaning. We are NOT suppling towels at this time. Guests need to bring their own towels. We want you to be able to relax on your visit.

The house was recently finished in 2018 with a major interior remodeling. The remodeling project includes: hardwood flooring, painting, new custom kitchen, bathroom work, including 2 new tiled showers, and new mattresses. We are very excited to update the interior of our home to make it up to date and inviting.

Recently added Starlink wifi for speed over 150 mbps! That's impressive for Door County.

This property has a gorgeous view of the historical Cana Island lighthouse which is within walking distance. It is also located next to one of the State of Wisconsin Forests known as Spike Horn and Baileys Harbor Boreal Forest, which have large beautiful hiking paths and natural sand beach frontage, all walking distance from our home.

Kayak info: The fishing from Cana Island and through out nearby Moonlight Bay boasts a lot of fishing opportunities from Small Mouth Bass and Northern Pike to occasional Brown Trout. We have 2 fishing kayaks available at home. This sturdy kayaks can be used for just checking out the beautiful shorelines to catching a DC trophy.

Please follow kayak instructions when using.

The home, built in 1990, has all the modern conveniences you would expect. The two screened porches, facing lakeside, capture the beauty of the water and the lighthouse, as does the expansive deck. Both rooms have plenty of furniture to relax in.

We have a pier with a swim ladder. The water gradually drops off. Note water levels very greatly in DC from year to year.

The interior of the home has a foyer and great room which boasts a two-story ceiling with many windows that allow the natural light and surrounding beauty to enter from each side.

The new custom kitchen is spacious and and opens up to the dining and great room. It is gorgeous! Appliances are new with dishwasher, and refrigerator with an ice maker. The laundry room has a washer and dryer for your convenience. Capable of hosting many guests this three bedroom home has access to three full baths. The master bedroom and bath are located on the main level as is the second bedroom and a full bath. The second level has a loft bedroom with a full bath.

The living room has a new sectional couch with new double hide a bed.

The 6 acre lot is fully wooded with majestic cedars and pines. View wildlife visiting the back yard and enjoy a campfire in the fire pit next to the water.

We loved our relaxing fall getaway to Chris and Robin‘s Cana Island cabin. It was a perfect location to get away from the crowds of Door County and we appreciated the peaceful and private surroundings. The layout of the cabin worked great for us with having three bedrooms and three bathrooms. My husband and daughter enjoyed early morning walks on the nicely, paved roads. It was so great to be able to have our dogs with us as well. We would totally return to this lovely cabin!

What a spectacular stay. Everything was just perfect! We enjoyed the beautiful beach access, and the sunrise view on the water was breathtaking. The location is the perfect balance of quiet and tucked away, with the convenience of places to shop and dine anywhere from a few minutes to a half hour drive away. The home was extremely clean, beautifully decorated, and very cozy. If we are back to Door County, we will definitely look to stay here again!

Family getaway

The house and location were perfect for our family of four although the house could have easily accommodated a much larger group. It is a stunning house and an equally beautiful location so close to the Cana Island lighthouse on a quiet calm bay. We loved using the kayaks every morning and the close access to nearby state and county parks for hiking, more kayaking, and swimming. We took advantage of the well-equipped kitchen for breakfast and lunch and ate dinners out every night in the nearby towns. We didn’t want to leave.

Stressful check out, poor amenities, decent location

The house is nice however you have to cross a street to access the beach/ dock &fire pit which was stressful with kids when cars are zooming by. The rental agreement was impossible to find until after you make the non refundable purchase and it says you are responsible for washing the linens, cleaning the kitchen appliances fridge etc before check out at 10 am. Check in is at 4. All despite the cleaning fee you pay -this violates VRBO’s terms and conditions. Dog poop on the lawn as well. The rental agreement also says hand towels and body wash are provided however they were not and when I messaged the host he said only dish towels are provided (there is 1). I had to use the laundry machine at one point and there was barely any laundry detergent which I knew I had to save for check out/ linen washing. The nearest target/walmart is over 30 miles away so you can’t easily run out and find stuff. There is also no cell reception in this area until you drive away for a little bit. The kitchen is a collection of stuff no one wants but lacks practical things you actually need. 3 functional bowls but 9 super scratched up old non stick fry pans which are no longer non stick. Also 3 toasters and decorative bowls and plates which are not practical. The grill stopped working at one point and we were instructed just to change the propane take ourselves. We enjoyed our time here but the added stress and lack of amenities would prevent me from booking again.

Overall a very nice place, the listing and pictures are accurate.

We had a nice place at this property. When they say bring towels they mean all types of towels as there were not even hand towels in the bathroom or anything in the kitchen. There were not any cleaning supplies provided either. Wish the area by the water was a little more leveled off around the firepit. Overall it was a great place to stay, far from the hustle and bustle but close enough to anywhere you would want to go explore. I would definitely recommend the properties to others.

This is what the 'quiet side' of Door County is all about. Tucked into the side of Boreal Forest while also facing the quiet shores of Spike Horn Bay, this home is absolutely majestic in every way! Spacious, windows everywhere, large decks & porches, and the BEST fireplace situation & Set up that we've every experienced.

The home and location are beautiful! We spent a lot of time on the deck enjoying the nice weather, surrounded by the trees and gorgeous view of the water and Cana Island. Many amazing wildlife sightings, including a mature bald eagle! We appreciated being able to have our pups along with us, and my husband and son really appreciated the Starlink connection for getting some of their work done remotely in the mornings.
