Lakefront! Sleep 30! Hot Tub, Game RM, Huge Yard!

The Little Harbor is an 8,000 SF waterfront rental in Door County, accommodating up to 32 guests with 19 beds. It offers 8 hotel-style suites with ensuite bathrooms, two common living rooms and kitchens, a brand new 6 person hot tub, and 5 patios for socializing. Our "Adventure Shed" is stocked with kayaks, fishing gear, bikes, strollers, golf equipment, and games. The property features a concrete pier with breathtaking panoramic views reminiscent of Hawaii. Situated on a spacious 1-acre lot, it boasts waterfront access and private woods, making it ideal for families and dog-friendly.

*Please read description in full before booking*

Previously known as a popular bed and breakfast for nearly three decades, The Little Harbor underwent a transformation to cater to large groups as a waterfront rental. Whether it's a romantic getaway, family reunion, corporate retreat, or a trip with friends, this property offers ample indoor and outdoor spaces for socializing. Each guest in your group will have their own private hotel suite, complete with a bathroom, Roku TV, and sitting area. As one of the largest group rentals in Door County and the only one of its kind, The Little Harbor stands out. Its robust construction, featuring 3-inch wide solid oak commercial grade doors, ensures minimal sound transfer between rooms and living spaces.

- On the 2nd floor, a large area awaits, including a game room with a poker table, bumper pool table, and a Golden Tee arcade game.

This space is an excellent spot for the guys to hang out, play games, or entertain the kids separately from the parents.

SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS:
- The property offers a total of 8 individual hotel-style bedroom suites. The sleeping quarters are separated from the social rooms on the 1st and 2nd floors, ensuring a peaceful environment for guests.

For families with babies, three pack-n-plays are available in the closet of the game room on the 2nd floor.

Location was great, beautiful sunsets. It was huge, plenty of room, almost to big for our group but price was great for what we got. The cell reception was not ideal, and their could be a little more attention to the outside flower beds.

Perfect Spot
We spent the week here to celebrate our mom's birthday and it was exactly what we needed. 8 separate suites stayed quiet no matter what else was going on in the rest of the place. Emily was super responsive to all our questions and requests. They even had all the essential baby things (cribs, stroller, monitor) to make traveling easier. Thank you!

Excellent place for our girls' weekend of bonding!
The "Little Harbor" was a terrific place for our girls' weekend due to its 8 spacious bedrooms (each with own toilet/ shower), well-stocked kitchen, outdoor fire pit across the street to accompany our sunset-watching, wonderful ambience, plus excellent communication with the owner via phone, email and text. Our group of 17 was able to share time together in the large kitchen / living room area as well as spread out in smaller groups in the upper game room, additional kitchen and front yard areas. The "Little Harbor" totally met all of needs and helped us create happy memories of Door County.

Wonderful Winter Stay
Little Harbor is the perfect set up for a large group of family and/or friends. We rented for our family Christmas and had a wonderful time. Every bedroom has a view of the lake, it's own bathroom and locked door. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need. The seating areas are large and open. The game room is a nice bonus. We will definitely be renting again from this owner. Thank you for hosting us!

Great place to stay in!
We enjoyed the house. Everything was wonderful including all the rooms and all the supplies that were included. We will probably book again because the house was so nice as well as the surrounding areas. Groups would be extremely pleased with this property. So many extras not included in other rental properties.

Great space for large groups
My family of 27 wanted to be under the same roof for Christmas and this was a great option. We highly recommend. The best perks were the hot tub, the view of the water, the double oven upstairs so we could cook things at different temperatures, laundry accomodations, quietness and darkness of the rooms, 10 bathrooms!, and the well stocked kitchen. We definitely want to book again in the future.

Awesome house! Highly recommend!
We stayed here with a large group (8 families) and it was great! Emily is such a wonderful host, was very communicative, and accommodating. The house was awesome - it had SO many things for use in the garage (bikes, scooters, games, kayaks, paddle boards). And items for our kids (high chairs, baby monitors, pack n plays) and our things for our dog. I highly recommend staying here:)

Great location for large gatherings
Nice big house with 8 private on suite bedrooms for that larger family gatherings. We cooked several nights and enjoyed grilling and the outdoor patio area. Across from the front of the house was a second gathering area with additional fire pit near the water. Plenty of things to do with the adventure shed packed with kayaks bags and bikes…

A Perfect Retreat for a Family Celebration
The entire Inn was beautifully appointed with antiques, the bedrooms with 4 poster beds, fireplaces, whirlpools, the 2 kitchens with every need for cooking, catering our Family Celebration Gathering. Game room such a fun addition, outdoor hot tub beautiful, outdoor fire pits, 1 lakefront, the other in the back yard hot tub area, were lovely on a cool late fall evening. Fireplaces in the TV Living rooms were a warm wonderful addition to our stay. We toured around Door County easily from here, revisiting our favorite places of memory. Our entire family wants to make Little Harbor an annual gathering place. We loved it.
