Door County Wasserfront-Cottage | 180' Uferlinie | Schlafmöglichkeiten für 10 + Schlafhaus

Rocky Shores Retreat — A Classic Waterfront Door County Escape



Perched on 180 feet of private shoreline on Little Sturgeon Bay, Rocky Shores Retreat is the kind of Door County cottage guests come back to year after year. Paddle out in kayaks, gather around the bayfront fire pit, cook a full family meal in one of the best-stocked kitchens you’ll find in any rental — and do it all without leaving the property.

Whether you’re here for sunny summer lake days or the spectacular colors of a Door County fall, the setting delivers. Tucked down a quiet private road yet just 15–20 minutes from Sturgeon Bay, you get true waterfront seclusion without giving up convenience.



🌊 Your Own Private Waterfront

Step outside and you’re on the bay. Summer means swimming, shoreline exploring, and kayaking right from the property (4 kayaks included). Fall brings golden light over the water, migrating birds, and some of the most peaceful mornings you’ll find anywhere. Morning coffee on the waterfront deck — with sunrise over the bay — is a year-round highlight.



🚣 Kayaks, Fire Pit & Outdoor Living (Late spring–early fall)

This property is built for time outside:

• 4 kayaks included for paddling the bay

• Bayfront fire pit with firewood provided — perfect for s’mores, stargazing, or crisp fall evenings

• Large grassy yard for cornhole, frisbee, and kid-friendly games

• Hammock tucked among the cedars

• Plenty of seating for gathering, relaxing, and reconnecting



Wildlife sightings are common — deer, wild turkeys, eagles, and cormorants make regular appearances.
