About this house rental
The Fleetwing cottage is a charming beach cottage with a private dock during the summer months right on the shore of peaceful Garrett Bay. Named the Fleetwing after the shipwreck by that name that is right off your private pier The Fleetwing cottage is tucked in a private, setting with beautiful views of Door Bluff. The Fleetwing is completely remodeled with 3 bedrooms (one with air-conditioning) and 2 baths, also super fast internet access, an ideal vacation home for a large family. A magnificent fireplace makes cool evenings a pleasure, or enjoy eating outside on the stone patio. There is a private dock (summer season) for sunning, swimming or enjoying sunsets, also a firepit on the beach for evening fires. Pets and kids are welcome! You are a bluff away from Gills Rock and great eating at the Shoreline or a ferry ride to Washington Island.

The view is spectacular. We saw pelicans and egrets. You will need the insect repellent Jen makes available. In the evening what appears to be biting flies come out. We were still able to make s’mores. Jen was quick to respond to my questions. There was plenty of room for five adults and a six year old. Fleetwing cottage is exactly as described.

The views are spectacular! So relaxing with the water
And waves rolling in. If you want a secluded and nature filled vacation this is the spot! You can also head into the busier towns for shopping and restaurants. The owners are wonderful people!

We like the "quieter" side of door county when we stay. This is a great place to stay right on the lake. Super quiet and convenient for the 2 dogs we brought. 5 minutes away from Sister Bay. We will definitely stay again. Great host! Quick with answers to questions.

It was so peaceful to wake up to waves rolling in from the lake. The house was a perfect set-up for myself and my adult granddaughter who was celebrating her 23rd birthday. Jen was very helpful and communicative and gave me some good advice about the restaurant I intended to visit for a birthday dinner. Fall at the tip of Door County is beautiful and we enjoyed every minute. My granddaughter would like to come back next year with her friends!

What else can I say other than I love Door County and I love staying at this property.
The Fleetwing is a nice quaint cottage, literally on the shore of Lake Michigan. Being close to the water is a must-have when I stay in Door County, and this year I was entertained by watching some pretty amazing waves. The area is quiet and there are lots of options close by for enjoying nature (another must-have for me).
Jen is a great host and I hope to stay at the Fleetwing again!

The property owner was very communicative and friendly. We were drawn to the property by the lakefront access and it did not disappoint. There were kayaks for guest to use so we spent the afternoon kayaking and hanging out by the pier. For the price, it was really a great deal.
We also loved that the property felt secluded but was a short drive to the Sister Bay action. I highly recommend this property if you are looking to connect with nature and still have access to all the fun things Sister Bay has to offer.

The VRBO cottage was very nice. Everything was as advertised. Beautiful waterfront property, very private location for a very comfortable stay. Ellison Bay 5 minute drive, Sister Bay 12 minute drive to many things to do if you do not want to relax by the outside fire pit with friends. Property manager went above and beyond.

From the check in process to the check out process, Jen was amazing! The place was beautiful and the view magnificent!! We spent most of our days hiking the local state parks and spent the evenings cooking and having a few by the fire. What a great place to stay!!

Door County continues to be a great place to explore. The cottage on Garret Bay was a super place to end the day. We saw spectacular waves from the comfort of our front windows.

We rented this property for a girls weekend. It has 5 beds, so we all had our own place to sleep. It was the perfect spot with a beautiful view. The bird feeder drew all kinds of interesting birds. It was very clean and we loved the wood burning fireplace. We would definitely come back! The owner has great communication and shared tons of good recommendations which we really appreciated!

The house was perfect for our quiet fall getaway. The pups loved the beach and outdoor fire pit. It’s in a quiet part of Door County with easy access to all the sights. The house was clean and had everything we needed. Would happily stay here again!

Well equipped kitchen! Nice bathrooms! I have to say the place was not clean and had a terrible musty odor when we arrived. After we got a fire going the smoke covered up that odor and probably dried the place out! Beautiful view of the lake! I felt like the price was very high for the condition of the property!

This cottage sits in a beautiful location. The bay was very peaceful and beautiful ~ we had many days where it was smooth as glass and one very windy day that brought the waves rolling in and crashing on the beach. I'm glad we experienced the setting in both ways - it was truly amazing. The cottage was well-equipped and had everything that we needed. Enjoyed the kayaks too. The location is perfect for day tripping around the peninsula and enjoying all that it has to offer. Thanks for an enjoyable stay!

The property was great. It had everything we needed in the cabin for my friend and I to enjoy our vacation. It also had great ways to enjoy the lake from inside the cabin, the patio, a deck and the dock.

Another great stay at the Fleetwing! This is my second time staying here and I hope to stay again next year.
There are so many good things to say about this cottage. First, I love the general location (northern Door County). I was here the week after Labor Day, so it was quiet and peaceful. I also love how close the cottage is to the water. There are many options for exploring nearby natural areas of Door County, and I am very happy that I was able to bring my dog.
This year the weather cooperated so I was able to take advantage of the kayaks that are available. And I finally saw the shipwreck that is just off the shore.
The Fleetwing is a quaint beach cottage with lots of charm. The modern bathrooms are much appreciated, as are the new floors in the kitchen area and the new stove (both of which were put in this past year I think).
Internet access can be a challenge at the cottage. Cell coverage was almost nil (not unexpected), and the WiFi provided was unreliable while I was there (sometimes is was ok, other times I couldn't connect or it was slow).
If I could, I’d give this property a 4.5 star rating, or just a tad under 5 stars. There are a few improvements that could be made (new locks, refrigerator, carpet). But overall, it’s a lovely place to stay. The hosts are great, and I love the fact that they have a long time connection to Door County.

We enjoyed our stay. The home was clean, well supplied, the beds comfortable. Located on the shoreline, it was a restful place to retreat to after a day among other tourists!

Wonderful location and quiet
This is my second stay at one of Jen's properties and it did not disappoint! Super location on the quiet, northern end of Door County.
The cottage is literally steps from the beach, which makes this property really special. The weather was cool and super windy during my stay, so watching the waves every day was an event in itself. The pier was pulled out for the season, but I didn't need it since there is a nice wood deck/patio that sits right at the beach. There is also a nice stone patio with picnic table and other chairs right off the back (or is it front?) door for enjoying the water. Wish I could have enjoyed the outside fire pit, but it was too windy.
A quiet location is high on my list of "must haves" when I go to Door County, and this cottage filled my need. It's set off the road a bit, which is really nice. There are other cottages close by, but it still feels quite private.
The only reason I didn't give Fleetwing 5 stars is that the cottage is showing its age a bit, and a few things could use updating (stove, refrigerator, door locks, for example). But the bathrooms were clean and updated, which ranks high on my list. :-)
Overall, it's a very nice property in a great location with a great water view. I'm very happy with my stay, and I hope to stay again. Jen is a great host, and her properties are always the first I check for availability!

Sweet Getaway
We loved the property, location (quiet and peaceful) and proximity to the water (literally steps away). The one thing we all agreed on was: living room furniture in need of updating…both for age and comfort.
