Waterfront 1 bedroom and loft cottage with small private pier on Garrett Bay

Walk out your front door (or sit inside) and enjoy views of Garrett Bay. Death's Door Bluff is to your left and Washington Island to your right. Your own small pier is directly in front of your own private retreat. First floor one bedroom/one bathroom with steps to a loft that has another sleeping area. There is outdoor sitting and viewing space both by the house and down on the pier. Boat tie ups on the pier for docking your day fishing/recreational boat (no overnight docking available). The cottage has a well equipped kitchen (refridgerator, range, toaster oven, coffee maker, electric skillet and full size webber grill) and all the amenities for a quick vacation away from life (towels, beach towels, beach chairs, cooler, linens, paper products and soaps/shampoo). Pelicans fly in over the bay, fishing off the dock is best on the bay for bass, views cannot be beat. Gills Rock and ferries to Washington Island and the Shoreline restaurant are a mile around the bluff. Ellison Bay with restaurants, coffee shops and a well-stocked "Pioneer Store" is a short two miles away. Come enjoy one of the most beautiful bays in Door County!

Peaceful, well equipped accommodations
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location was excellent for us being on the water with a nice size yard - so quiet and peaceful. The cabin is clean and well equipped with everything we needed. The host is very responsive, though reading instructions, everything we needed to know was clearly communicated.

Peaceful getaway
The property is called "The Rest" and that is what it is. It is a great little place far enough outside the usual DC attractions to be so quiet and peaceful that it is a escape in itself, but within a short drive of anything you might want ti do in DC. The views were amazing and I hope to return someday when the Canadian wildfire smoke has subsided.

Great location...why 4 stars and Not 5??...luck of the draw but we got the week when the main house was having major landscaping done(noisy and workers -not very private)...would of been nice to experience this setting without the commotion...

Cute little cottage on the water
This cute little place had everything needed for a mother daughter weekend in door county! We were usually out during the day but we loved coming back to the cottage to have a fire and enjoy the water! Perfect access to water and view of the sunset. Also a great place to enjoy coffee in the morning! Added bonus that we were able to use the owners kayaks. The cottage was clean and well stocked. Jen was there if needed and very nice. Would highly recommend staying here!

They should have paid us to stay there!
1. No real air conditioning. It was very hot when we arrived. It was advertised as having air conditioning but all it had was a room cooler up stairs. 2. Bugs and spiders. My husband woke up the next morning with one on his forehead. They were everywhere. On the kitchen counter and all over the floor, bathroom, shower and toilet. The sewage was very strange. Had to push a button on a pump to make it drain. Shower backs up. No washer as advertised. We couldn’t wait to move out the next morning.

Stay 5/29-6/2
Location is outstanding, but some upgrades to the interior are needed. This includes the area rugs which looked old and need of cleaning. The pump for the toilet, sink and shower drain took a little getting used to. We would stay here again mostly for the location right on the water. The host greeted us when we arrived and was very friendly.
