Sister Bay House | Beautiful Log Home on 5 acres private beach-steps down the road!

4 Bedroom House in Sister Bay

The Refuge Log Home is nestled in a beautiful, wooded 5 acres across the street from Lake Michigan and is 4 miles east of Sister Bay in Northern Door County, WI. Listen to the waves from the home or take a short walk (300 ft) down the road to our private property with 100ft of shoreline. Enjoy the water from an Adirondack chair, a canoe or kayak, or wade right in! The wooded setting is quiet and sheltered and the lake may be viewed from the separate waterfront property.
Have fun exploring the woods. Deer are frequently seen. if you're lucky, you might spot a turkey family, an owl, or the newly discovered porcupine that occasionally makes an appearance. Spend your evenings around the fire enjoying the incredible stars. The home is located on a peaceful dead-end street with light car and foot traffic. It is less than ten minutes to downtown Sister Bay, a wonderful town with fun shops and great restaurants to explore and enjoy. Sand Bay Beach is just five minutes away and the villages of Baileys Harbor, Ephriam and Fish Creek are close too.
These two properties, woods and water, are the perfect getaway for family and friends!
The open floor plan is spacious and comfortable. The whole family can gather around the stone fireplace. There are many cozy places to retreat to for some quiet relaxation. Enjoy the outdoors from the front porch or the screen porch in back. Or grab a book from the bookcase and head up to a window seat in an upstairs dormer for some quiet reading.
The home has four private bedrooms, one on the main floor with a King size bed and three more upstairs. The large bonus room with three sky lights over the garage is perfect for movie nights or reading. The built-in bunks in the bunk room are always a thrill for kids! Please note that the 2nd floor bunk room does not have doors to close it off from common areas.
The Refuge is a true retreat any time of year. Whether it's enjoying the long days of summer on the screen porch, the crisp Fall nights around the campfire, hunkering down on a cozy wintry night by the fire, or spotting the first sounds and sights of Spring, we sure you will enjoy your stay.
Lake Michigan Water change from year to year. The Photos show both high and low water levels.

Summary: The house is well maintained and lovely. The only suggestion I have is to label the light switches and provide info on how they work. There were so many different ones which took multiple times turning on and off, figuring out the dimmer options, etc, it was a little confusing at least at first. (And not much the owner can do about it, but wow were the Mayflies thick!

Summary: The home was beautiful and spacious. It was one of the best provisioned rentals we have ever stayed in. Plenty of cooking gear - pots and pans, dishes, cooking utensils and even spices and coffee, plus games, puzzles, books, dishwasher, laundry machines, good internet and and video streaming. Total stress free relaxation.Location, location, location. Located 10 minutes out of Sister Bay off a low traffic road. Pretty much ideal for a secluded low key stay with easy accessibility to most of what Door County has to offer. This property's outstanding condition and its owners attention to details easily make this a 6 star rental. Everyone in our group, including the kids said how much they enjoyed their stay and all voiced interest in a return visit when our calendars might permit. If someone is debating renting this home they need to just stop thinking and do it before their dates are taken by someone else.

Summary: This property was Beautiful. House was perfect for our Girls weekend. We had 5 young adults and 3 adults. The house had more than enough space for all of us. Kitchen was FULLY stocked. Far enough away from all the crowds but close enough to enjoy all the amenities Door County has to offer. Would definitely stay here again.

Summary: We have been spending time in Door Co for over 40 years, and this has to be one of the best cottages we have ever rented. Great location, quiet, and access to private little beach area was enjoyable.

Summary: The Refuge is just that. We (6 adults) were in the area for a family wedding and we loved coming “home” after wedding-related events and curling up by the fire and relaxing. The house had everything we needed and more! We loved the lakeside views from the beach and had a wonderful time exploring beautiful Door County.

Summary: Overall impression of this property was that we didn’t stay long enough to enjoy all it has to offer. The amount of kitchen supplies and other small necessities you would have never thought to bring, they had there for you. The lock for the cabin is very user friendly. The lighting is a little tricky but you get used to it. We did have to make 2 beds upstairs (queens) upon our arrival [all the bedding was there, just not made]. There is only 1 TV in the cabin and is upstairs in back room. Wish they had one in the main living space for background/ games or movies. This cabin will be a repeat booking cabin for a few of the ladies in the group with their families. We may turn this into our annual weekend away. Short drive to multiple locations. Our longest drive was 30 minutes and that was to the Wine Tour Trolley.
