About this cottage rental
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

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!

Loved the tiny house with everything we needed. It's in a wonderful neighborhood right on the water. Loved sitting and just enjoying the view.

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!!!!

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!

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.

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!

Lily Pad Cottage is well maintained, has a great kitchen and includes a panoramic view of the bay from inside, access to very pretty grounds and a private deck from which you can enjoy the sights and sounds of Sturgeon Bay. It is a 10-15 minutes walk to town along the harbor. The property is a perfect starting point from which to explore Door County by private vehicle. This was our second visit...we are looking forward to coming back again.

We totally enjoyed our late winter Door County getaway at this lovely contemporary cottage on the Bay. All the amenities plus a delightful view of the Sturgeon Bay Waterfront. Within walking distance of the downtown shopping and dining area, and close to Potawatomi State Park for walking and nature opportunities. A perfect retreat complete with gorgeous sunrises. Definitely a place we would love to visit again.

The perfect escape!
Door County at the peak of Fall colors is pretty amazing. Couple that with a stay at the charming Lily Pad Cottage and life doesn't get much better. Alisa has thought of everything and it makes for a stay that is completely carefree.
My only reluctance in giving a great review is that it may noth be available next time we want to go again!

Tiny House on the Sturgeon Bay Channel
Very clean, updated top of the line appliances and fixtures. Felt safe. Nice view and you ARE literally on the water. Private location. Very homely and comfortable. The stairs leading to the house need work and the mattress, a little too soft for me. Would go here again and will tell our friends about this home too!

Lily Pad Cottage is the absolute cutest little cottage! And if you like to feel you're on-the-water, this is it! I'd definitely recommend. If there was one little thing I'd change, it would be the 5-6 stairs to get down from the sidewalk. Maybe the steps could be a little deeper. as they are quite narrow, especially when carrying stuff. But honestly, I would recommend this lovely place highly!!

Loved being right on water. Loved the deck. Sat out on deck for hours. Part of deck is covered so even sat out in rain. Short walk to small beach and Sonny’s Pizza.
Clean and had everything we needed. Only thing I would have liked was a shade/curtain on the door.

Great Vacation Spot
