Sturgeon Bay House | Beachfront Cottage with Rustic Charm and Beautiful Sunsets in Sturgeon Bay

3 Bedroom House in Sturgeon Bay

Tucked away along the shore of beautiful Sturgeon Bay, Bayshore Sunset Cottage is a quiet and peaceful retreat nestled within mature trees with a panoramic view across the bay of Potawatomi State Park. Enjoy the gorgeous sunsets over the bay from either the comfort of outdoor adirondack chairs, a huge wrap-around screened porch or sitting in the huge great room in front of a warm fire. During the day, visit historic Sturgeon Bay or use as a launching point to explore the northern Door communities. Short drives will take you to 5 state parks within Door County or explore the many preserves and hiking trails the Door County Land Trust properties offer.
The cottage has heat for the cooler evenings, and A/C for those really hot evenings. The entire interior has been freshly plastered and painted along with kitchen cabinet updates, new ceiling lighting, and new beds/bedding and other furniture updates.
This 1800 square foot, remodeled one story cottage includes the massive great room with 14' ceilings, 3 bedrooms, two with 1 queen bed each, one with 2 twin beds, full kitchen, dining room and full bathroom. Trade your digital screen for the fully screened wrap around covered porch for extended outdoor living area of this waterside retreat. The cottage was built in the 1920’s and the basic layout remains today. This gives the cottage the legacy and character that is hard to find and is also the reason it is so close to the water, something today’s zoning laws don’t allow. Back in the 1920’s this cottage was built as a dance hall and party house, for the one time Hagemeister Brewery of Sturgeon Bay, hence the large gathering areas.
Amenities also include 200 feet of private shoreline, plus 2 acres of tree covered area, 90' wrap around covered screen porch, 14' x 32' outdoor patio deck, cable TV, DVD player, WIFI, wood burning fireplace, barbecue grill(charcoal), private dock, 15' aluminum row boat, and fire pit. Fire wood provided on site for a fee. Kayak rentals are also available on site. Please bring your own beach towels. The receding water levels of the Bay and Lake Michigan have brought back some of the sand on the beach that the high water levels from past years took away.
Prior to our purchasing this cottage in the summer of 2021, the property was owned by the same family for nearly 70 years. The cottage was updated over the years while maintaining the history and rustic nature.
A gravel driveway with a strip down the middle where the grass grows leads to the cottage by the bay about 700' off scenic Bay Shore Drive. Your view across the Bay of Sturgeon Bay is Potawatomi State Park which has 1,225 acres of gently rolling upland terrain bordered by steep slopes and rugged limestone cliffs. You will see dazzling sunsets overlooking the 1883 Sherwood Point Lighthouse, which was the last manned lighthouse on the Great Lakes.

Summary: We had a fantastic experience in Sturgeon Bay at this cottage. The high ceilings, the ample space, the cleanliness, the comfortable beds, the proximity to the shore of the Bay, the 2 mile drive to the center of town made our stay very pleasant and comfortable. We greatly appreciated the graciousness of the owners, their readiness to respond to our needs, their availability at any time of the day. We have recommended their cottage to many friends, and we will rent their lovely cottage for the next season.

Summary: We had a wonderful time during our stay. The location was great, with not too far of a drive to golf courses, restaurants, and other activities. The lake was beautiful. My husband brought his fishing boat and loved having the dock right there. The wrap around porch was one of our favorite parts, as my husband brought cornhole boards and was actually able to play right in the screened area, even when it was raining or buggy outside. The beds were comfortable and the house had plenty of room for our family.

Summary: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cabin and property were perfect. We could not have asked for a better location and truly enjoyed being able to paddleboard right from the beach with our family. The large screened in porch was perfect for game nights and dinner and the sunsets each night were great. Would highly recommend and we will try to stay here again.
