Hammarstrom House - Private Waterfront and Hot Tub

We are excited to offer Hammarstrom House, the perfect getaway for family and friends alike. This beautiful property on the shores of Green Bay offers the most amazing sunsets. Built by a Master Craftsman this unique home comes complete with a grand A-frame, impressive tower, family loft and tons of charm and amenities. Truly a treasure.

A winding driveaway, private estuaries and wooded lots provide a ton of privacy. This unique house has four bedrooms, extra sleeping space in the loft and three bathrooms.

The space

Hammarstrom House is a truly unique home with a custom built wooden tower and a large A-Frame cabin on the serene shores of Green Bay in Door County, WI. This one-of-a-kind home has a large open concept perfect for family gatherings, while still having many nooks and crannies to escape for privacy and alone time.

There are sleeping accommodations for up to 12 people with 9 beds, including two roll-aways and a pull out couch. The house has three comfortable full bathrooms, one with a wooden shower and water views. Other amenities include a wood burning fireplace, reading nook, coffee and tea station, and so much more.

The highlight of Hammarstrom House is a three story all wood custom-built tower on the water. The first floor offers a hanging bench to enjoy water views, a reading area, an arcade table, and a yoga kit. The second floor is accessible by a spiral wooden staircase where you can enjoy unparalleled views of the bay, vintage scuba diving gear, a stained glass compass window, and a panoramic vista. The crows nest is accessible by a retractable ladder and offers 270 degrees of water views.

Located a short distance from Sturgeon Bay, Hammarstrom House is at the end of a winding private driveway between two estuaries, providing much privacy. The A-Frame and Loft boast cathedral ceilings and additional space for lounging. The spacious loft is stacked with games, a huge TV, and a comfortable couch for a cozy night in.

Book your stay here!
We had an amazing stay here! The house was very clean and highly accommodating. We appreciated the welcome snacks and notes, making us feel right at home. We had everything we needed and more. The location is great, we even walked our dog around the neighborhood safely. The sunsets here are incredible and the mornings are quiet and peaceful. You’ll want to spend more time here than out and about! This was a first vacation home rental for two people in our group who typically opt for hotels with room service and they were impressed and felt comfortable. Don’t second guess staying here!

A Peaceful Haven
We had an amazing week at Hammarstrom House! The property was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described, but the highlight was the unique lighthouse-esque tower—such a charming and unexpected feature that gave the place extra character. We enjoyed watching sunset from the tower swing and battling it out on the retro arcade games. We spent our evenings relaxing by the fire pit, and the hot tub was a perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring. The location was also ideal, close to Sturgeon Bay but still peaceful and quiet. Our hosts Steven and John were fantastic—quick to respond and ensured we had everything we needed and more. They couldn’t have been more welcoming & thoughtful. We highly recommend staying here. We would love to return!

My family (6 adults and 1 eleven year old) enjoyed five wonderful days in this comfortable, spacious and unique home on the lake. The owners made every effort to provide a welcoming and accommodating experience for us all - including the dog. We settled in easily. This is a beautiful spot on the water that gives the opportunity for fun and quiet relaxation. We had a great time!

First and hopefully not our last trip to Sturgeon Bay
This experience and property was beyond compare to any other stay for our family. We felt more than “at home”. We felt comfortably pampered and had all we needed to enjoy activities on the water or nearby golf courses and then relax back at home with all the amenities, plus room for everyone (including a dog) to be comfortable.

Perfect weekend getaway with friends!
We stayed here to celebrate my husband’s birthday and it was a blast! It was a “survivor themed” weekend and this location is perfect to play outdoor games, hide immunity idols, and relax in the hot tub after a full day of activities. We also enjoyed exploring Door County and highly recommend it for anyone looking for a place that has literally everything you could ask for. The hosts are sweet and respond instantly. The view from the tower is also beautiful; the pictures don’t do justice!

Perfect Door Cty Getaway
What a perfect getaway for families! Easy access to the bay, fun water toys, a pristine hot tub, and perfectly-placed fire pit made this a great location for our family reunion -- and that was only the outdoor amenities! All beds were comfortable and the bathrooms full of fluffy towels and other amenities. The tower is truly a fun feature to enjoy the outstanding views. Thank you to the homeowners for making us feel welcomed. Extra touches like spa sandals, generous snack tray, and local goodies (including amazing cheese!) were the cherries on top of a wonderful getaway.

Wonderful stay in Door County
We stayed at the Hammarstrom house for a long weekend family vacation. The house was so comfortable, warm and inviting. Everyone in the family loved it. There were so many hospitality amenities that you do not really see in other homes. There were plenty of places to sleep and all the rooms were decorated nicely. The property sits on the bay so there were pretty views from almost every room. The hosts, Steven and John, were wonderful to work with. They were so approachable with questions and responded quickly. Even when they themselves were traveling, they were so accessible and quick to respond. I cannot say enough positive things about them and the home they share.

Quiet location, comfortable house, fun ammenities
Steven and John's house had everything that was promised. The welcoming atmosphere with personalized notes to the family and our four-legged companion were nice touches to start our stay. They also provided a nice array of snacks on the kitchen island for arrival and whenever the urge to grab a snack occurred. While we didn't utilize the well stocked "honor bar", but it was a nice option to have should we have been interested in making a cocktail. We thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub and appreciated the provided towels and flip-flops (although we decided to bring our own) for our evening relaxation. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't as cooperative, with wind, rain and snow, so we had some of our planned hot tub relaxation time cut short. Instead, we picked up some additional firewood and enjoyed some cozy evening fires. The attention to detail for a pleasant stay was evident in the introduction letter, and the special touches for adults, pets, and kids throughout the house. There were plenty of dishes, glasses, and kitchen items to make it easy to cook and serve meals, as well as miscellaneous items throughout the house (such as scissors, pens, notepads and a stapler) to meet the needs of travelers spending time with their families. Lastly, the tower brings out the child in everyone, as it doubles as a cozy place to watch the sun set and feel like a kid as you climb the spiral staircase to the upper level.

Steven and John’s house was everything and more. The cabin itself is beautiful and incredibly cozy, with so many thoughtful touches left out for us by our hosts. Waking up to the sounds of the lake and ending each night by the wood fireplace made for the perfect winter escape. I would highly recommend the Hammarstrom House to everyone.
