Sister Bay Vintage Log Cabin - Recent Remodel

We invite you to stay in our lovingly restored vintage Door County cottage. Historic, fresh and charming describes this log cabin built by a Norwegian immigrant in 1938.

This home is ideally located along the desirable Bay Shore Drive in Sister Bay! A short 5 minute walk into town allows you to take advantage of the park, marina, beach, boutiques, restaurants, ice cream / coffee shops and more, then retreat to the private quiet cabin to sit, relax and unwind. Additionally, we are centrally located in the county making visits to Gills Rock, Ellison Bay, Fish Creek, Ephraim, Egg Harbor and Bailey's Harbor all within a short drive (5-20 min).

This lovely 2 bedroom, 1 bath, full kitchen, cottage provides everything you'll need for a pleasant and relaxing stay. First floor: bedroom, open family / dining room, bathroom and kitchen. Upstairs: spacious bunkroom.

A large wrap around deck and front yard is a relaxing place to gather with family and friends...enjoy your morning coffee watching the people of Sister Bay pass by, grill / dine on the back deck, sip an evening cocktail watching the sun set over the bay, then end your day with a bonfire, smores and a little star gazing.

We host guests year round and ensure your comfort with a whole house furnace and central air conditioning. Please come soak up all four seasons in Sister Bay. We hope to see you soon.

Note: For safety and security purposes, one outdoor camera is located on the property. It is mounted and clearly visible on the rear exterior of the cabin. It monitors activity in the parking area.

*** We are pleased to announce the opening of our 2024 new construction in Baileys Harbor. We invite you to consider The Red Cherry Woods Cottage VRBO #3485771. A beautiful new property and location providing the same warm hospitality and flawless experience.

Quick Cottage Trip
We loved this cute scandi cottage in walking distance to sister bay! Just enough space for the my husband and 2 teen boys and me. Michelle was very responsive and gave us some great dining and teen appropriate activities! I don't know if it was our late spring/early summer timing, but the area around the cabin smelled so incredibly floral and beautiful. The inside of the cabin was clean and beautiful as well. We hope to visit again!

Weekend getaway
We stayed here with our 3 kids over Easter weekend. The host was very communicative and accommodating with our check in process. When we showed up there were even Easter treats for the kids. This was such a a thoughtful personal touch. The kids loved the games and books. We lucked out and were able to have bonfires at night and watch the sunset from a quick walk to the lake front. It was a great tiny cozy cabin. We would love to come back!

Relaxing & Memorable Thanksgiving Weekend
My family of four (two teenage daughters, wife, me) has visited Door County several times in different seasons. For this trip, we were looking for a place that was clean, comfortable and in a good location to enjoy our Thanksgiving break. Our stay at Michelle’s Vintage Log Cabin in Sister Bay checked all of those boxes! The location was great: walkable to downtown SB, but not right in the middle of it. Upon check in, the cleanliness of the cabin was immediately noticeable. In addition, the host provided various “extras” that made our stay all the more comfortable from information about DC to a bottle of DC wine to chocolate. Equally important, communication with Michelle, our host, was excellent from the initial welcome email to day of request for an early check in. We would absolutely stay at this cabin again!

Sister Bay Cabin
Convenient and cute. Excellent stay. Thought there was a wood-burning fireplace, but there was just candles and some of them didn’t work. The location was very nice, walk to town. The kitchen was small but efficient, some of the leftover spices in the kitchen are expired. Bed was comfortable. The bunks upstairs would be good for kids.

Meticulous, convenient and magical charm
Everything about this cottage was an A+. Adorably decorated, immaculately cleaned, well stocked with cleaning and kitchen supplies, plenty of linens, games and information. Maximized use and flow of space, perfectly located for walking to all Sister Bay has to offer and easy driving up and down Door County. We were a family of five who stayed (two kids 6 and 9, myself, husband and mom) and were very comfortable. Michelle is also super clear, helpful and responsive in her communications (we didn't run into any issues but she checked in to make sure we didn't need anything). Couldn't recommend any place more than this!

Second stay, didn’t disappoint!
We had visited this property back in January and liked it so much, we booked it for our honeymoon as we could bring our dog. The house was in the same perfect condition as our prior stay, yet decorated nicely for the fall. We had a bit more to do, seeing it was a different season and more was open in the area, but still chose mostly to hang around the house and take advantage of what it had to offer (grilled dinner, played games & had a fire). This place is really just perfect for what we are looking for, sure we will be back!

Wonderful stay in Sister Bay
We enjoyed a relaxing but fun-filled week in Sister Bay and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cottage. Great location that is walking distance to town and just across from the bay, making for beautiful sunsets. The cottage was exactly as advertised—clean, well maintained and great communication with the property manager. Small but the space is well equipped and smartly furnished, and our family of four plus pooch had no problems settling in. Will definitely put on our list for another visit when we return to Door County.

The cabin has a most interesting history. The renovation of it kept the original charm. All our needs were met. We appreciated having it dog friendly; however, there were no negative reminders of any previous dogs. It was the perfect lodging for us—conveniently located to allow walks to downtown Sister Bay and viewing of evening sunsets. Our host communicated promptly and was attentive to our wants and needs. We highly recommend this property. 🐾❤️👍
