Here Are A Few Kind Words From Our Past Guests:

"Relaxing, beautiful spot to unwind! Janet's home has it all. Perfect location, right next to two beautiful parks. Easy drive to multiple restaurants, breweries, orchards, etc. I loved the location. My entire family had a wonderful time. The layout of the house is perfect for larger families." - Lisa

“This Lakeside home is the perfect family getaway. I would recommend this location for anyone looking to enjoy the best of Door County.” - Caelyn

☆☆ BEDROOMS & BATHROOMS☆☆
We have three lake view bedrooms each with their own bathroom plus a 1/2 bath which makes for a comfortable stay for the whole family. If you need an extra bed, you can use the comfy queen size sleeper sofa in the loft as an additional sleeping space, increasing the total sleeping accommodations to eight.

The primary bedroom is on the first floor and faces Lake Michigan, with walk-out access for a morning stroll to the water. Step through the doors for some bird watching and fresh air any time you please. You'll get a great night's sleep on the king-sized Tempur-Pedic bed, and the two closets and dresser give you plenty of space to unpack your belongings.

This bedroom has a lovely ensuite bathroom with slate floors, double sinks, a double-headed shower, and access to an outdoor shower. There’s also a bathtub for a relaxing soak and a bidet.

Additionally, a half bath is conveniently located off the main living area on the first level.

Upstairs, you’ll find two more spacious bedrooms and two full bathrooms. Both bedrooms face the lake and have spectacular views right from the beds, both of which have new queen-sized Casper mattresses. Many of our guests crack the windows to be lulled to sleep by the sound of the lake. One of the queen bedrooms has access to a private balcony, perfect for catching beautiful sunsets over the lake or snapping some photos to remember your stay.

The upper-level bathrooms are located in the hallway, providing easy access to both bedrooms. One has a large walk-in shower, while the other is equipped with a shower/tub combo.

☆☆ KITCHEN & LIVING/DINING ROOM ☆☆
The stunning common areas are a joy to relax in, thanks to the high ceilings, exposed wood, and slate floors that seamlessly blend the indoor space with the outdoor surroundings.

Our open floor plan allows you to cook while you interact with those at the dining room table or in the living room, making this the perfect spot for connecting with loved ones.

The kitchen has everything you’ll need for cooking tasty meals for the whole family, and you can enjoy stunning views of Lake Michigan as you do so. We’ve provided pots, pans, dishes, spices, olive oil, paper products, a coffee maker (standard drip Cuisinart), a mini food processor, a blender, a toaster, a microwave, utensils, a knife set, and more! We often have holidays at the house so we've tried to think of all the things a family needs to prepare meals at home. We also have a propane Weber grill just outside the kitchen if you enjoy grilling. If you are wondering if we have a particular kitchen item, please don't hesitate to ask.

Once it comes time to eat, you can enjoy meals together around the handcrafted dining room table. If you'd like more seating, we have a card table you can add on to expand seating from 6 to 8. There is a sunny breakfast nook that overlooks the yard and water beyond, which is a great place to sip your morning coffee and watch for hummingbirds.

Across from the kitchen and dining area, the cathedral ceiling living room beckons with its comfortable furniture and Door County stone two-story fireplace. It has a propane starter for natural wood and our caretaker stocks nice dry wood right next to the fireplace. We replaced the furniture in 2020 and when doing so, we added an extra couch so the family can spread out in comfort. Next to the fireplace, you'll see a pen and ink watercolor of the shoreline drawn by my Uncle, an accomplished artist. There’s no better spot for hanging out as a family, making plans for an exciting day around Door County, or simply relaxing as the sun or moon rises over the lake.

The upper-level loft is where you’ll go to enjoy fun movie nights. This is our entertainment center, complete with a Smart TV and more comfy furniture. We have Netflix, Amazon Prime, and YouTube TV for your favorite sports, adventures, and shows. The loft converts to a 4th bedroom or playroom for the kids.

We have recently added air conditioning, new furnace, oven, refrigerator, microwave, outdoor propane grill and replaced the living room furniture/rug. There is also a new beautiful stone stairway to the lake.

☆☆ OUTSIDE SPACE ☆☆
Our home is all about bringing the outdoors in, but we also have a fantastic outdoor space for you to enjoy during all four seasons. There’s a wooden deck along the lake’s edge with handmade Adirondack chairs and a 36" fire pit - perfect for evening s’mores or early morning cups of coffee.

In the summer, you can launch your kayaks and canoes directly off our shore, and the deck has plenty of spots for sitting back and enjoying the solitude of your surroundings. We also have a gas grill if you feel like having a BBQ.

We are 10 minutes from the town of Jacksonport, a darling community north of us, with the best meat counter in all of Door County. The store owner at Bleys' has meat from his pigs and cattle in his store cooler. It doesn't get any more farm-to-table than that! Jacksonport has a beautiful sandy beach and a classic playground for kids. There is also Town Hall Bakery, the most down-home bakery you can imagine.

Across the peninsula, just 20 minutes away is Egg Harbor. They have the best grocery store in all of Door County: Main Street Market. Super wine collection, gourmet cheeses, fresh produce, and a wide selection of high-end food. Don't miss the frozen scones!! Also, our favorite boutique home goods store, Maxwell House, is a must.

Just 15 minutes north of us is Baileys Harbor, a bustling town with fabulous restaurants, cool shops and Door County Brewery, that has live music, great food in the high season, and friendly people.

Comfort in Nature
Beautiful setting, very private, very quiet, gorgeous sunrises and wonderful views, rich natural setting, convenient to county amenities yet fantastically remote feel. Lovely, cozy home is well appointed; very well stocked kitchen; comfortable, private rooms; enjoyable selection of books and games, as well as a ton of helpful information about area. Janet and team completely accessible, very responsive, marvelous communicators. A true getaway, off the beaten path, a place for immersion and relaxation, great for family fun and adult retreat alike, or a comfortable commune with nature in all its rugged, undisturbed great lake beauty.

Location! Location! Location!
If you like hiking the most scenic trail in all of Door County then this place is for you! To be able to step out the back door every morning and hop right in the trail to one of the most famous spots in Door Country was a dream! The view from every room was stunning and hearing the waves crash against the shore made it feel like we were waking up at the ocean each day. Just an incredible stay with such a beautifully unique home. Janet was so easy to work with and poor her love into every guest ensuring it’s the experience you’re looking for. She was also so welcoming to our pups who joined us and equally enjoyed the big back yard and daily hikes. So grateful to have experienced this place and hope to be back someday.

Beautiful sunrise and moon rise!
Our family of 8 stayed at this home and it was wonderful! We had one teen, 3 under 12, 3 adults and one senior. We brought bikes and enjoyed riding to white dunes park as well as other activities in the area. The location is a bit farther south than we’ve been before, but it wasn’t a long drive to all the area attractions we wanted to explore. Amazing sunrise and moon rises! Quiet and relaxing. A great place for families to play and be together near the water.

Home away from home with fabulous Host!
We came to Door County for a girls birthday week ages 40-80 and this place quickly became our home away from home. It was a wonderful location right on the waters edge and literally steps from a beautiful hiking trail! We enjoyed watching a storm come in from across the lake and loved listening to the waves with the windows open or out on the deck! The place was cozy and well equipped with comfortable seating. The Hostess was beyond amazing with great communication and responsiveness. She was authentic and genuinely cared that we were enjoying our time in Door County as well as in her home. I highly recommend this place for you home away from home!

Inside, the house was a very comfortable space for 6 adults. The three bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms allowed for privacy, and the common areas were great for hanging out, eating, and being together. The kitchen was well equipped and well stocked. Outside, the decks and the yard were favorites spots where we played games and enjoyed being right on the lake. We loved being so near to the county and state parks and enjoyed running and hiking without having to drive somewhere. Janet was very responsive and went above and beyond to make sure that we had everything we needed to have a wonderful stay. Our family loved staying here and we would definitely return the next time we visit Door County. Thank you!

Quiet and spacious
We had a girl's weekend at Janet's house. The house was well cleaned before our stay and Janet was great to communicate where to get groceries and some places to try for meals. We used the outdoor firepit and forgot to pick up wood, so appreciated the wood available (convenience comes with a price). My suggestions for improvements are to have a bucket (without holes) near the firepit (it's the way I was taught as a girl scout). We appreciated the options to start the fire as the lighters were all out of fluid so had to pick alternatives. The rooms were spacious and there were plenty of bathrooms for us all to get ready. The location is right next to the state park so we were able to go on some walks and even went to the Dunes at one point. We would definitely stay here again as it's a great retreat but you can still drive to Bailey's Harbor or Egg Harbor easily.

We’ve visited Door County for many years and have never stayed anywhere as beautiful as this house. From the master bedroom you can fall asleep looking at the moon over the lake, have an outdoor fire over the lake, or sit in the spacious living room with tons of windows.

Unanimous, Thumbs Up!
The Door at Cave Point could not have afforded a more suitable, impressive, and revitalizing welcome for our family last week. Everything we needed for a perfectly comfortable stay was available to us, allowing us to pursue activities with the knowledge that ‘home base’ was also an alluring haven. We loved seeing jays, cardinals, vibrant red-headed woodpeckers, hummingbirds and seabirds, every day. The proximity to Cave Point park is a very few steps away, which allows for access to the park, and privacy for the guests. The night skies were saturated with brilliant stars, satellites, and meteors, and we all slept to the soothing rhythm of the lake. We were all charmed by the architecture and feel of this gorgeous home, and Janet was extraordinarily sensitive to our needs. It felt as if she was an agent, working on our behalf, to ensure a perfect vacation. After our visit, our family spread back out to our respective homes, from LA to the East Coast, feeling refreshed, reset, and with full hearts.☀️❣️🌿

Our family had an amazing time staying at this beautiful property. It had everything we needed to enjoy ourselves. All the personal touches in the home make it feel both comfortable and unique. Janet and her family were very friendly in terms of helping plan our trip and communicative about check in/check out. We forgot part of our pack and play but Janet was very kind to get in touch as soon as she found it. Then it was very easy to arrange for us to pick it up. Also her property management team were friendly and responsive to our needs. Would definitely stay again !

This is a stellar property esp if you value each person having their own room and their own bathroom (we were 3 friends, property could work for 3 couples).

Wonderful property right on the lake
We recently spent a long weekend at Janet's house. It is a lovely property bordering a state park right on Lake Michigan. Views are wonderful and the property is very comfortable. Being right next to the state park makes hiking and water access super convenient. Kitchen is probably the best stocked we have encountered in any vacation rental. We did run into one issue but Janet, Ryan, and Holli were all quick to respond and address our concerns. I would highly recommend this property to anyone planning to visit the area.
