Lily Pad, a Door County Waterfront Cottage in Sturgeon Bay

All you will need is your toothbrush! This newly constructed and completely furnished cottage is the perfect romantic getaway for a couple seeking to spend quality time in one of the last cottages remaining on the waterfront of Sturgeon Bay.
The Lily Pad is perched, as the name implies, right on the waters of Sturgeon Bay. It is a fantastic location for anyone with an interest in pursuing maritime fun, as there is a private deck just out the front door. Fishermen, sailors, paddlers and SUPers will be delighted.

This newly renovated and completely furnished cottage is the perfect romantic get-away for a couple seeking to spend quality time in one of the last cottages remaining on the waterfront of Sturgeon Bay.

This charming, one-bedroom studio, private getaway is ideal for anyone who wants to bicycle or stroll to the nearby beaches, State Park, restaurants, galleries and entertainment spots here in Sturgeon Bay. Spectacular sunrise vistas overlooking the historic Steel Bridge are the daily fare at The Lily Pad.

Enjoy Otumba Park just a block away or relax outside on the deck reading your favorite novel. The Lily Pad Cottage is a year round venue, including a winter sanctuary (my personal favorite time of year here). It has all of the latest appointments you’d expect to find in a high-end rental including a king-sized bed and a chef’s kitchen. Everything you need to prepare a culinary masterpiece is on hand… but who wants to cook when some of Door County’s finest restaurants are within a few blocks?

We look forward to welcoming you to Door County, the Cape Cod of the Midwest – a wonderful getaway where art and nature conspire to bring you joy. If you need extra space, try booking Eagle’s Nest, a two bedroom suite, next door! #1618234

Great honeymoon destination
Me and my wife found this little spot for our honeymoon and we loved it. It’s small but cozy, and for two people it’s perfect. The view is great, we had little ducks swim around near us and that made our day. You can tell the property manager really cares, everything inside the house was very clean and well put together. Just a heads up when we stayed we had to get our own dvd player as here wasn’t one that worked well, but the two tvs had all the streaming apps you could ever need. Overall very pleased with our experience here.

Great time in Door County
From the moment we arrived we were so thrilled with our rental location. The views are amazing and we loved having coffee on the deck and lounging outside and reading. The design of the interior was so well thought out. Everything was great. The bed was so comfortable we both had some of our best sleep in a long time. The host was great to talk with. She was so kind and you can tell she has a lot of pride in her place. It is a must stay rental!

Relaxing
The property was everything listed!! The property was very clean and so relaxing. Everything you could possibly need to stay. Alisa was super nice and even though she lived right next door, she respected our privacy. The nats are a little overwhelming at times but you’re right on the water so expect it. No complaints from us…I would stay there again if we decide to adventure that way again.

The Lilly Pad Cottage is very private and had everything we could want. The cottage itself is very comfortable and cute. We enjoyed being right on the water. It was really nice having a fire pit and grill at our disposal. Highly recommend and would definitely rent again.

The view is AMAZING -- as someone else said, you feel like you are on a houseboat! The place was super clean and neat, and the kitchen was fully functioning (the olive oil and sandwich bags were clutch). Everything was just *easy* and *relaxing*. Perfect getaway spot!!!!

Gem of a Cottage
Like living on a luxury boat without the seasickness! In spite of some rain during our stay, the view from the bay window kept us transfixed with ever-changing clouds, waves and light. The location is magical and the cottage itself perfection--everything a person or two could want or need. The Lily Pad is nestled down below street-level, with private deck and garden at waters' edge. And Alisa is a lovely and gracious host. Highest recommendation!

A Peaceful Waterftont Gem
Lily Pad Cottage is a beautifully decorated studio with a king sized bed, a well equipped full sized kitchen and cathedral ceiling. The cottage sits right on the water with a spacious sized deck and is next to a large yard beautifully landscaped with a firepit. The cottage was exactly as described. The booking process was very simple. The owner, Alisa, lives next door to the cottage. She was a wonderful host and very accommodating. We stayed at the cottage for 7 days during Thanksgiving week. We look forward to returning. We had a very comfortable stay. I highly recommend Lily Pad Cottage.

At the water's edge
We so enjoyed our stay in this adorable cottage. At waters edge, you can hear the ripples lapping at the shore. Serene. Located in a quiet neighborhood with easy street parking. Sturgeon Bay is the perfect home base for traveling around Door County.

Staying in Sturgeon Bay for a Week
Lily pad cottage was in a fantastic location, 5 min to town and easy to find. The cottage itself was nice and had all the cookware and things we needed we needed with an amazing view. The only issue was there was a huge ant infestation that we told our host about on the first day. She helped immediately and put down traps but in the week we were there they were still all over in our bed, kitchen, and shower. If it weren’t for the ants it’d be a 10/10.

My husband and I had a wonderful time at Alisa's place for our honeymoon. It looks exactly as pictured and is kept in amazing condition! Alisa was very helpful even before we arrived in recommending places for hiking, restaurants and other things to do in the area. The views of the water are incredible. Alisa is also very responsive if there was anything we needed or had questions about. We highly recommend staying here and will return!
