Waterfront 1 bedroom and loft cottage with small private pier on Garrett Bay

Walk out your front door (or sit inside) and enjoy views of Garrett Bay. Death's Door Bluff is to your left and Washington Island to your right. Your own small pier is directly in front of your own private retreat. First floor one bedroom/one bathroom with steps to a loft that has another sleeping area. There is outdoor sitting and viewing space both by the house and down on the pier. Boat tie ups on the pier for docking your day fishing/recreational boat (no overnight docking available). The cottage has a well equipped kitchen (refridgerator, range, toaster oven, coffee maker, electric skillet and gas grilll) and all the amenities for a quick vacation away from life (towels, beach towels, beach chairs, linens, paper products and soaps/shampoo). Pelicans fly in over the bay, fishing off the dock is best on the bay for bass, views cannot be beat. Gills Rock and ferries to Washington Island and the Shoreline restaurant are a mile around the bluff. Ellison Bay with restaurants, coffee shops and a well-stocked "Pioneer Store" is a short two miles away. Come enjoy one of the most beautiful bays in Door County!

Great communication from host. Beautiful views of Garret Bay. Had a fire pit, family games, and books. We appreciated the full size kitchen appliances and the comfortable bed on the main floor.

The cottage is in a beautiful location right by the lake, quiet, peaceful, and very relaxing.However, the space was a bit dusty overall. The kitchen is set up for cooking, which we appreciated, but the knives were extremely dull and difficult to use. If you plan on preparing meals, I recommend bringing your own kitchen knives.The property listing mentioned a grill, but when we went to use it, it was dirty and not usable, so we had to cook indoors instead.The beds were quite uncomfortable, and the bathroom has a pump system that requires you to pause your shower occasionally to let the water drain, which was inconvenient.It’s a nice place in a great location, but those small issues made it difficult to fully enjoy our stay.

The cottage was the perfect place for our little family. Spacious for us even with our dog. Love that it is pet friendly! It was cold and rainy, and they had the heated stove on for us prior to arrival. Very cozy! Will definitely remember this place for our next trip.

This place is great. Quiet and secluded with beautiful views and sunsets. Easy communication with the owner and no suprises. We had a great time and enjoyed fires by the lake and waking up to the sunrise over the lake.
