About this cottage rental

Embark on your next Door County adventure at The Owl's Nest, brought to you by Simple Life Rentals! Nestled at the end of a secluded road, this private year-round retreat boasts 185 feet of rugged lakefront along Sand Bay (on the Green Bay side of Lake Michigan). Embrace the tranquility of a wooded lakeside haven, flanked by neighbors on just one side, offering the ultimate setting for unwinding and rejuvenating.

With 4 bedrooms and three full baths, this home invites family gatherings to create cherished memories. In winter, watch ice fishing right from the comfort of home. Come summer, bask in the sun on the dock or unwind in the expansive screened-in porch. Bring along your kayaks or canoes and set sail from the shore to explore the bay's wonders at your leisure.

Savor breathtaking sunsets painting the water in hues of gold and crimson, a perfect finale to each day spent at The Owl's Nest. We can't wait to host you!

**This home is located in a quiet community with neighbors and is geared toward quiet family vacations. Due to the proximity of neighbors, we cannot accommodate reunions, bachelor or bachelorette parties or other rowdy gatherings.

Loved the screened in porch. Very nice home, great view from the master bedroom. The only improvement would be to mow a path to the pier from the back yard and remow the path from the front yard to the pier. There was poison ivy on the path that was on the side yard.

Nice accommodations for our group of 7. Neighbor Bob super. Gave us more firewood and recommendations. Great sunset view. Place could use updating but clean. Coffee maker took forever to brew- maybe needs descaling?

Our stay was absolutely amazing! This charming home was clean and equipped with games and such to make for a fun weekend. The host is very reliable and easy to communicate with. The view of the water is spectacular and the location is perfect, slightly secluded and easy to find. I highly recommend this home for a delightful stay in door county.

A few updates needed. During our stay we wanted to use the toaster, but it did not work. No big deal but was an inconvenience. The coffee pot was also broken, and the dishwasher leaked. When a storm blew through, they were amazing and getting back to us, when damage occurred. I would recommend staying here with friends or family. It was beautiful.

We stayed here to enjoy fall colors in Door County in October 2022. This house has such an amazing view of lake and we can just walk to the lake from patio space. It's very near from Potawatomi state park just about 10 mins drive. It's a bit in secluded area...you need to drive 15-20 mins to find any shops from milk etc but overall it's a great location and nice house. A lot of owls in the hosue as the name suggests :-)
