Waterfront vacation home on Garrett Bay with private dock (summer season)
Enjoy one of the most beautiful views in all of Door County from The Chalet, a 3 bedroom, 2 bath pet friendly vacation home on Garrett Bay. The home has a large waterfront deck, private dock during the summer season, and a beach fire pit. There is a 10 person hot tub for warming up after your swim. Inside enjoy a large stone fire place, well-equipped kitchen with water views and three comfortable bedrooms. The Chalet is a perfect retreat with privacy. If you like to swim, kayak (two kayaks available), fish, boat, or just sit and enjoy nature this is the house for you. It is convenient to Ellison Bay and Gills Rock for restaurants, coffee, drinks, groceries, boat docks and much more. There is lots of green space between your home and the other home on the property (the fleetwing). There is one shared deck between both houses but each house has its own outdoor waterfront area and dock. It is Kid friendly, pet friendly, outdoor enthusiast friendly and the perfect quiet escape. It also offers superfast internet if you need to work during your stay.

My spouse and I really enjoyed staying at the Chalet! The location was amazing, and being right by the water was delightful. We'll have to come back when the dock is in, and when we can kayak. Jen was a responsive and thoughtful host, and we greatly appreciate her hospitality.
The Chalet was an amazing place to stay. The hot tub was great to have after a day in blacksmith class. Had all the amenities you could want and the fire pit near the beach provided amazing views.
My family enjoyed staying in the chalet on our first time in Door County. We could tell this property is well-loved by the owners. The location was peaceful and quiet, while convenient to everything in Door County. We hope to return again someday!
Kicking off the summer in the best way with this vacation! The house is so well stocked and comfortable. The host, Jen was great to work with! Hot tub and kayaks are a major bonus! Fire pit and deck for relaxing were great. Highly recommended and we hope to return again.
This was the second year we stayed the same week. Very comfortable and loved the view of the bay.

Door County in the fall....
The property is located right on Lake/Bay. It is a beautiful location. The property is tired. The beds were really great for sleeping. The views from inside the house on the lake side were wonderful. It was a dreary time that we were there but it allowed us time to explore the parks and Washington Island. Wickman House was exceptional!
My husband, I and our Portuguese Water Dog spent a long weekend at the Chalet. The house was just as advertised, not new, but very comfortable, a fantastic view, and all the amenities we required. A bonus was finding the complete collection of Walter Farley’s “ Black Stallion” books in the bookcase. I read them all as a child and was delighted to see them again!
Daisy the dog also gives the place “ four paws up”.
The Chalet is located in wooded area on Garrett's Bay. It was quiet and peaceful. The Chalet is very well maintained, nicely decorated, with all the amenities you'd want in a lakefront cabin. The hot tub was an extra treat. There are a handful of restaurants, I highly recommend Blue Bear for breakfast, and drinking establishments, Cider House was great, the location does require some driving to points of intrest, though nothing is more than 30 minutes away.
I highly recommend The Chalet for anyone looking for a quiet family retreat. I'm hoping to plan another stay next year with my sons family.
The house was great and hot tub was awesome! The oven wasn’t working but we were made aware of it and had great communication with the owner. It was clean and we had a great stay!
Because my husband was injured in a recent bicycle accident, this was not an active trip for us. The Chalet was perfect; great view, comfortable house, and restaurants close by. We strolled with our dog, saw some beautiful sunsets, and enjoyed watching birds at the two feeders while sitting by the bay. A very restorative getaway!
We had the best time at this cozy cottage! The view is stunning, making for many slow mornings listening to the waves crash, and evening spent by the fire under the clearest skies and stars. The cottage was equipped with everything we needed, and close to everything. Jen’s recommendations for restaurants were wonderful and we enjoyed cooking meals in the sweet kitchen that reminded me of my summers at family cabins growing up. The beds were all super comfortable as well. We absolutely will be back and can’t wait to explore more!!
This is not a house. It is your home away from home. From arrival to our saddened departure, we were relaxed, rejuvenated and reminded of the wonderful people in this world like these VRBO owners. Thank you! We will be back!
We had a wonderful long weekend at the property - the location is spectacular with not only the beautiful water view but the night sky was unbelievable. If you are a star gazer this is the place for you - or you can take a short drive to the Newport State Park which holds a dark-sky designation. The house itself is cozy and comfortable, we had everything we needed. Though not directly in town, everything we needed, as in grocery store, etc was close enough. We felt like we got to know the area and surrounding towns of Ellison Bay, Sister Bay and Gills Rock quite well and enjoyed restaurants, galleries and a wonderful hike in Newport State Park. And when we had one question about the house the owner responded immediately. We would definitely go back!
Great remote location! The views of the Bay were beautiful when the wind wasn't kicking up.
Unfortunately, our weather didn't cooperate so we didn't get to enjoy outdoor activities except a few walks with the dogs.
But a fantastic country road!
We were able to enjoy some local spots and not too far away, we visited Door County Brewery & Hatch Distillery. Had a wonderful meal at The English Inn.
Thanks again for a comfortable stay in this quiet location.

My sister and I had a wonderful stay here on our fall vacation. The beds were very comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed, and the view was outstanding. I would definitely stay here on my next trip to Door County.
