Old Fashioned Suite - Cottage on the shores of Lake Michigan

The Old Fashioned Suite is a quaint cottage on the shores of Lake Michigan. The main room is an old log cabin. We remodeled this comfortable space into the main living area with a wood-burning fireplace, bathroom, and laundry accommodations.

Added to the front of the cabin are a new kitchen, counter for cooking/eating, and dining area. Above the living area is a roomy loft with bunk beds. Facing the lake, at the back of the cabin, is a bright and sunny sitting room with a pull-out sofa and a master bedroom with a queen-size bed.

A spacious deck faces the lake and provides a porch swing and umbrella-topped table and chairs for open-air dining. Adirondack chairs surround a large fire pit near the shoreline. Sunrises and moon showers can often be seen.

It is fun to see the large ships and sailboats as you enjoy the sight and sounds of the waves. The nearby ship canal and the Land Trust have many hiking trails and there are several sandy beaches that are accessible by foot, bike, or car. The property is located in a secluded setting far off the main road making it a wonderful quiet escape to enjoy campfires, swimming, and outside activities.

This was our third time staying at the Old Fashioned Suite. We’re still driving home and already booked next year! It is so quiet and we love just sitting by the lake. It’s a great location and easy to access lots of activities.

We stayed at the Old Fashioned Suite Cottage a year ago and liked it so much that we returned this year. Great property with lots of privacy. We especially enjoyed having our morning coffee with the spectacular view of the sunrise over the lake.

Anniversary trip to Door County
We truly enjoyed this cottage with a view. It was the perfect space for our Door County adventures. We enjoyed sipping wine by the lake in the Adirondack chairs and listening to Lake Michigan. The view from the cottage is amazing. We loved the character of the space. Definitely recommend!

Great view
It had a great view, awesome big yard, nice deck. A bit peeved by the nextdoor dogs barking and then running onto the property. Place was clean and very nicely decorated. Beds were ok, not a lot of support. It was a nice place.

Relaxing lake side property
It was a great place to relax and enjoy the lakeside. We had awesome bonfires right by the lake shore. It was my 2 kids and wife that stayed. The cabin was perfect. Nice kitchen for those that want to stay in and cook. The bed was very comfortable and the place is very clean. I would stay here again in any time. Great north woods feel.

A gorgeous getaway!
Extremely nice property and location. Gorgeous inside and it was right on Lake Michigan like the description said. Couldn’t believe everything that they had for us already. We really didn’t have to bring anything extra except our clothes. Will definitely stay here again and tell others about it. And the host was very nice and responded quickly to your texts.

This is one of the best places we have stayed in Wisconsin. It was very clean, private and well appointed. It was close to the water and it was nice to hear the waves crashing at night. We'd like to book this place again.
