Kelley's Cove - Family Home

Kelley’s Cove has been a great family home for many years with lots of wonderful memories. It is conveniently located between the ferry and town. It has a great view, lots of wildlife, grass yard, and water access.

Kelley’s Cove is located towards the start of Fairbank Point, where the water starts on the southeast side (sunrises). Beautiful morning sunrises are across the water and to the left some. Kelley’s Cove is a dug-in bay which provides well protected water access and dockage. This is a great area for boating, canoeing, kayaking, and decent fishing. It is about 2.7 miles from the ferry dock and about 5.5 miles from town.

The Kelley homestead was originally built in 1951 and has had many additions and renovations. Being built in the 50’s, it was common for bedrooms to be smaller and without closets. There are 3 bedrooms with queen beds and an open wardrobe for clothes. There is one bathroom and a half bath setup in the laundry room. The living room has a great water view and door access to the front deck. The kitchen has an electric stove, refrigerator/freezer, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, cooking utensils, dishes, and pantry items (everything). There is a laundry room with a washer and dryer. Towels and linens are provided. Internet WiFi is provided and is good enough for streaming Youtube or Netflix.

Outside is a front deck with grill, table, and chairs. Out front is a dock providing a boat slip for you, while the other is for the caretaker’s boat. Often there is a swim raft in the bay. In the front yard, is a fire pit with log style seating and enough firewood provided for a campfire. There is a lot of wildlife in this area. Often two families of ducks are being raised in the cove, with plenty of deer, sandhill cranes, and other wildlife in the lake or passing thru. The bay itself is about 6 ft deep and the bottom is not rocky or sandy, but muck(a squishy soft bottom). On the front right side of the yard, is a rarely used right of access to the water for some family members. On the satellite view, you will see outside the kitchen window is a private drive, which gets occasional use by people not knowing it is a private drive.

Had everything you could imagine in the kitchen and pantry. Extremely clean and better than described. Bed was very comfortable, television reception was great wi-fi was excellent. So, they even furnished kindling and the wood for the firepit and a gas grill with a full tank of propane. Excellent location and close to the ferry. The host Kari was w=very friendly and made us feel right at home. When we left we washed and dried the bed linens and remade the bed. Up to 5 deer at a time in the cove, sand hill cranes and even had loons. Extra dock where a friend was able to pick us up by boat for a 3 hour cruise and drop us back off. Highly recommend and will defentely go back.

Loved it.
The property is perfect. We were looking for affordability and more than one bathroom, not hi-falutin accommodations. So we were thrilled to find this comfortable family cottage on a small cove of Sturgeon Bay a couple of miles from the ferry. The home (it feels like a home) was clean, nicely furnished and well supplied with amenities. Incredible views and wildlife sighting, and a reasonable distance to trailer the side by side for a day of riding. Kari was an awesome hostess — available as needed, rich with information, and very helpful. Definitely recommend.

Beautiful and relaxing place on the bay. We loved our stay there. Lots of wildlife to keep you entertained. Deer are very tame, could even hand feed one of the does. House is in great condition, comfortable beds and everything we needed.

Best ever
This is the best run house I have ever stayed at with vrbo. Everything was well stocked and easy communication with owners. When we ran out gas for the grill they replaced it in 5 minutes or less. I would stay here again without hesitation.

We had a great time. We fished and kayaked and shopped and ate in the local restaurants. It is beautiful and peaceful here. Very easy to go to Mackinaw Island, which was great. House was clean and we saw all kinds of wildlife. We fed the deer marshmallows by hand. Beautiful beach nearby for swimming.

Perfection on Drummond
I cannot say that I have liked a rental more ever. It was comfortable and inviting right from the start. The view and wildlife were always a joy. The house is homey, CLEAN and so accommodating none of us wanted to leave. If you could think of a perfect get away spot, this would be ours . Comfortable beds, hot shower, everything you could need available at your fingertips. We were on the island for our 20th wedding anniversary (Paul and Laura). We turned it into a great week off roading with friends who joined us. Jeeps and Broncos getting dirty, climbing steps and finding beaches and rocks. Thank you Jason for sharing your wonderful spot with us. Thank you Kari for a seamless check in and check out and for teaching me the trick to the pudding stone.

Long weekend getaway
We had an amazing weekend! I worked on the island 18 years ago and wanted to bring my husband and our 3 children, 15, 13, and 4 years old to the island and explore the island and places I didn’t get to explore while working. Jason was easy to communicate with and Kari did a great job giving us a tour of the home and answering questions about the island and the rental! We bought groceries and then found out that the pantry was fully stocked and we could use anything we needed. The kids loved using the paddle board, and kayaks, we raced around the cove, and even found a bunch of golf balls at the bottom the cove. The house was very nice and even better in person! I can’t say enough good things about the house and the Kelley family! We are already planning our next trip back to Kelley’s Cove!
