Oostburg, WI, house on Lake Michigan

This rustic and charming 3 bedroom cottage has been in our family for over 100 years. It can sleep 7 adults plus we have 2 cots that can be pulled out for kids. The cottage is nestled in the woods on the shore of Lake Michigan near Oostburg, Wisconsin. Our wonderful Sweetbriar creek is out our back door with beautiful Lake Michigan out the front door.
This cottage is a joy to be at during the warmer months of spring and summer, But is also is a cozy peaceful place to get away from the hustle and bustle of our increasingly hectic modern world in the early and late fall months.

(IMPORTANT information... Please bare with us as the beach is constantly changing in size and in the last 3 years the Lake levels have been relatively high.
Luckily the sand is coming back and filling in.

* Update April 2024 there is beach for walking and swimming, playing. The beach is coming back and we had some of our stone waterbreak filled in with sand to construct more beach. Inside our cottage there is ample room for cooking, baking, and dining together. There are games, tables, nooks for reading, a wood burning fireplace in the living room and a sunny sitting room facing the lake. Also we offer wireless internet and an HD flat screen TV. for local channels and for your streaming plus a cottage phone line.
The deck looks out over the lake and In the morning our sunbathed deck provides a wonderful place to sit, read, visit and sip morning coffee. (We provide a table umbrella and sand Beach umbrellas. (also available beach towels and some hats. This deck becomes shaded in the mid afternoon as the sun drops behind the White Pines providing relief from the late afternoon heat.

As evening comes on, building an outdoor fire, enjoying dinner around the fire ring or on the deck provide a fitting finale to the day.

Particular activities for this natural area include taking a beach walk or a bike ride in the wooded one lane shaded road that parallels the meandering creek. You can admire the natural boreal forest with its Canadian Hemlock, Sugar Maples, Beech trees, and native ferns.

Well behaved dogs are always welcome.

Close by are an abundance of activities including- the Kohler art museum, state parks, bike paths and quaint little towns.

For more places to visit, walk, and swim at a Beach you can take a quick drive north to Kohler Andrea State Park (North)Beach. It is a 5 minute drive ! Approximately 4 miles away.
