We've got four kayaks for exploring Little Sturgeon Bay, and a bag toss game for when we're feeling competitive. Plus, we've got all the classic yard games like frisbee and horseshoes. And when we're ready to relax, we can always lounge in the hammock with a good book. No matter what we're in the mood for, our outdoor space has you covered. (Kayaks, and yard games are available from May/June to September)
The brick patio on the south side of the cottage is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the outdoors. The patio is a great place to relax when the wind is coming off the water.

Summary: Our family had a wonderful trip to Door County, and we enjoyed our stay at Rocky Shores Retreat! Despite the chilly early-spring weather, we stayed warm inside, and the fireplace between the large windows overlooking the bay made things cozy. The house was clean, and we had everything we needed and then some. We thought the beds were comfortable, the kids loved the bunkhouse, and we enjoyed the outdoor furniture for short bits of time (again, it was still a bit chilly!). The location of the house was great; we were right on the water, and the quiet meant that we could hear the lake clearly. Nevertheless, we were just a short drive from places to eat and things to do. We would be happy to stay again (if we don't buy our own Door County property, ha!). Dana and Timothea are SUPER responsive, so you'll be in good hands if anything happens or you have any questions.
