Old Fashioned Suite - Cottage on the shores of Lake Michigan

The Old Fashioned Suite is a quaint cottage on the shores of Lake Michigan. The main room is an old log cabin. We remodeled this comfortable space into the main living area with a wood-burning fireplace, bathroom, and laundry accommodations.

Added to the front of the cabin are a new kitchen, counter for cooking/eating, and dining area. Above the living area is a roomy loft with bunk beds. Facing the lake, at the back of the cabin, is a bright and sunny sitting room with a pull-out sofa and a master bedroom with a queen-size bed.

A spacious deck faces the lake and provides a porch swing and umbrella-topped table and chairs for open-air dining. Adirondack chairs surround a large fire pit near the shoreline. Sunrises and moon showers can often be seen.

It is fun to see the large ships and sailboats as you enjoy the sight and sounds of the waves. The nearby ship canal and the Land Trust have many hiking trails and there are several sandy beaches that are accessible by foot, bike, or car. The property is located in a secluded setting far off the main road making it a wonderful quiet escape to enjoy campfires, swimming, and outside activities.

We stayed at the Old Fashioned Suite Cottage a year ago and liked it so much that we returned this year. Great property with lots of privacy. We especially enjoyed having our morning coffee with the spectacular view of the sunrise over the lake.

It had a great view, awesome big yard, nice deck. A bit peeved by the nextdoor dogs barking and then running onto the property. Place was clean and very nicely decorated. Beds were ok, not a lot of support. It was a nice place.

Anniversary trip to Door County
We truly enjoyed this cottage with a view. It was the perfect space for our Door County adventures. We enjoyed sipping wine by the lake in the Adirondack chairs and listening to Lake Michigan. The view from the cottage is amazing. We loved the character of the space. Definitely recommend!

Relaxing lake side property
It was a great place to relax and enjoy the lakeside. We had awesome bonfires right by the lake shore. It was my 2 kids and wife that stayed. The cabin was perfect. Nice kitchen for those that want to stay in and cook. The bed was very comfortable and the place is very clean. I would stay here again in any time. Great north woods feel.

A gorgeous getaway!
Extremely nice property and location. Gorgeous inside and it was right on Lake Michigan like the description said. Couldn’t believe everything that they had for us already. We really didn’t have to bring anything extra except our clothes. Will definitely stay here again and tell others about it. And the host was very nice and responded quickly to your texts.

Mom's Birthday Trip!
My sister and I booked our stay here for our mom's 83rd birthday and we all immensely enjoyed our stay. The cabin is clean and homey and has everything you could possibly need for your stay. My mom did struggle with the step up between the kitchen and rest of the cabin as her eyesight/depth perception is a little tricky sometimes. But we solved that by putting 2 stools there with the provided little lanterns and that seemed to work. The overall property is beautiful and the area is quiet. This was exactly what we were looking for. Far enough from town to be peaceful, but close enough so we could head in whenever we wanted.

Very Nice!!
We were in Door County for a wedding at Baileys Harbor..which left little time to enjoy the cabin/house...Also, weather (3 days of rain), lake attitude (dead fish time with flies...no one's fault!!!) did not cooperate but we did appreciate the setting & comfort. Overall, we were extremely pleased with our stay!!!!

Secluded getaway
No one around us except builders next door for 2 days. Quiet, full of nature. Any stores or restaurants are a good 15/20 minutes away, so we suggest getting basic food, charcoal and sundries prior for first night/morning. No central heat but heaters and fans in every room...We did not need either the full 3rd week in Sept. - wonderful breeze. House well stocked with linens and the hide-a bed was the FIRST one we've slept on that was comfortable!!! Need App for TV channels.

Weekend Retreat with Family
The cabin is exactly as described online. It is an old cabin. Therefore, there will be a couple of cobwebs, but overall the cabin was very clean. Located in a very quiet wooded area right on the lake. Really enjoyed the large lawn for the kids to run around on. The beach consists of crushed shells, which my kids were amazed with! Our kids also loved all the kid friendly touches in the cabin, from the dvds, books, and games to the wooden Noah's Ark. There was no heat, but the cabin stayed pretty warm throughout the night. Did use the space heater for a little bit downstairs. The kids stayed plenty warm in the loft. Overall, it was a great weekend stay!

Magical stay on Lake Michigan
Our second stay at the Old Fashioned Suite, but certainly won’t be our last. The old fashioned suite is a wonderful mix of the old classic log house, but with all the updates and additions to make it modern and comfortable. Being right on the lake is so peaceful and beautiful. Had a great week - we’ll be back!

Sturgeon Bay perspective.
We have been coming to Door County for over 20 years and usually rent in the Fish Creek to Bailey's Harbor area. This was our first time near Sturgeon Bay. The Cottage was very nice and the view of Lake Michigan was great. The Sturgeon Bay area has plenty of attractions and good restaurants. The Cottage was cozy and comfortable. Our hosts Sandy and Art were great neighbors and we enjoyed meeting them.

Nice Place to Stay
The house location was great we have bomb fires almost every night. The breeze coming from the lake was very nice and cool. The house could use a deep clean and the back screen did not stay on the door so we could leave the door opened. We would stay there again everything was nice. The loft bedroom could use a different type of bed. The cute baby bed was only good for our luggage, A twin or even a full bed would be better.
