About this house rental
Situated in Sister Bay, this charming house for R 8,724 per night is a great choice for your next break. Calendar notes: SUMMER 2024; TWO JUN SPOTS STILL AVAIL (4 NT STAYS OK IN JUN!) FALL 2024; ONE OCT SPOT STILL AVAIL (SUN OR MON ARRIVAL) If the dates you’d like are unavailable, please consider staying with us in the off season … or reach out to be put on our waitlist. Our sweeping water views and wooded, secluded setting are unparalleled! Come relax in this charming waterfront home; perfectly located at the end of a quiet dead end lane but also within walking distance of Sister Bay. Sunny Bluff is the perfect spot to recharge (or even work remotely; our internet is STRONG!) all while enjoying the natural beauty of Door County. As you pull up to our cottage and the sweeping vista comes into view, it will take your breath away! Summer on the peninsula is simply amazing. Take a stroll through the woods and meadows in the warm sunshine and fresh air; then enjoy cozy fireplace nights. And there’s so much to do! From live music, dining out, hiking, and biking … to beach-going, golf, shopping, and wineries / breweries … there’s something for everyone. Even bad weather days are cozy here! Soak in the hot tub on a foggy day, read in front of the fire, go out for lunch and throw a few frames at Sister Bay Bowl, create some art, take a trolley tour, or fish off our dock … there’s never a dull day on the peninsula. Also within a 10 min drive you’ll find Lure, Chop, Husby’s, Solago, Al Johnson’s, Boathouse on the Bay, DC Ice Cream Factory, Northern Grill, Carroll House, Wild Tomato, Sister Bay Bowl, SkipStone Coffee, Thyme / 1211 Wine Bar and Peach Barn Brewery (all in Sister Bay!) Also ‘The Pig’ is just across Hwy 42 so groceries are within a 3 min drive as well. So what will it be? Take-out pizza on the deck, fine dining with champagne, whipping up burgers & brats on the grill, or the perfect old-fashioned with your favorite bartender at that place you’ve been missing? After enjoying the charms of Sister Bay, breathe deep as you stroll home on the stunning waterfront trail behind our house (a 3/4 mile walk from town beach to our front door, via the trail.) Once back at Sunny Bluff, sink into our bubbling HOT TUB with a glass of wine ... our water views high on the bluff are breath-taking! Once night falls, grab your popcorn and cozy up in front of a crackling fire for board games, cards, or movie night … or pop back outside to star gaze from the hot tub … the possibilities are endless. General layout: this bluff-top home features 3 levels of indoor living as well as an expansive deck area outdoors. Inside, the open-concept main floor offers ample space for your group to gather for lake-view meals, board games, and fireside conversations. However with all beds/baths on the upper and lower levels, members of your group can also enjoy complete privacy if the mood strikes for quiet time, reading or napping! Main floor: along with stunning water views from the entire north side of the house, the main living area offers hardwood floors, a sectional sofa (new as of Jul '21) in front of the wood-burning fireplace, seating for 6-8 at the dining table, and an antique game table with 2 chairs snuggled up to a bay window. This level also offers a flat screen tv, a dvd movie library (children's movies included), and a cupboard full of games/puzzles. Wireless internet and cable tv is also available throughout the house. The adjacent kitchen (newly remodeled as of Mar '21) features all the major/smaller appliances you expect, including a dishwasher, blender, crockpot, waffle-maker, coffee grinder, and hand mixer. Envision enjoying a glass of wine while some of your party cooks and the others enjoy the game table, all set to the backdrop of passing boats in summer or a crackling fire in winter. Upper level: ascend the staircase at the front of the house and you’ll find a large master bedroom with expansive lake and tree-top views, a king-size bed, an easy chair/reading nook, a large closet, and a flat screen tv. Next door is a second bedroom (also with amazing lake views), featuring two twin beds and an easy chair. Finally, this floor also features a full bath with tub/shower and a lovely forest view. Both upper and lower levels offer new stair runners, wall to wall carpeting, and designer-quality bed linens, pillows, and mattresses. (Another special touch; we have all our bed linens sent out, for professional laundering/pressing.) Lower level: descend the staircase at the back of the house and you’ll find another charming partial-water-view room, complete with a queen bed, 2 easy chairs in a cozy seating nook, a flat-screen tv, a (decorative) wood-burning stove, and a full en-suite bath with tub and shower. In addition, the small room adjoining this one (there is a door between) features a sweet space with Pottery Barn bunkbeds/bedding, perfect for children or teens. There is also a small unfinished basement room just off the bunk room, with a front-loading washer/dryer. Outdoor spaces: while inside couldn't be cozier, our outdoor places to gather (or to sneak off to, for a minute of privacy!) abound. The front of the house features a welcoming garden spot with comfortable seating, partial water views and a traditional firepit; a wonderful spot to enjoy that perfectly-toasted marshmallow as the sun sets. On the back of the house the main deck, accessed from the kitchen, features dining space for 6, a gas grill, and a cozy propane fire table (new in Jul '22.) Here you can enjoy the sounds of nature all around while you curl up with a cozy blanket on our sectional sofa or a lounge chair (Pottery Barn deck furniture was all new in Apr '21.) And last but not least ... our small lower deck features our year-round toasty and bubbling hot tub (new in Aug '22.) All are ideal spots for enjoying your favorite beverage ... #hottubstargazing! To access our bluff stairs down to the water, take the path around the left (west) side of house. Continue across the small deck and you'll easily find our stairs; at the bottom simply turn right (east) and stroll the charming walking trail which leads into town. As it runs parallel to the water, you’ll enjoy dramatic forest/ soothing lake/ towering bluff views as you meander into Sister Bay (from our stairs it’s approx 3/4 mile to the edge of town.) As the trail ends you'll pop out of woods into the parking lot of Yacht Club condos (next to Waterfront Park / the town beach.) We also have a dock in place in season (May-Sep); our guests are welcome to enjoy it for fishing, swimming, sunbathing, and boat/sunset watching! *DATES - IF YOU’RE INTERESTED IN RENTING OUR HOME BUT YOUR DATES LOOK UNAVAILABLE, or if you have any questions on our amenities, sleeping arrangements, location etc, please don't hesitate to contact us at (312)399-1931.

We had the best stay at Lynn's home! It is the most charming home nestled in the hills with an absolutely stunning view of the bay. Lynn is so kind and helpful, extremely responsive host. Would come back and stay in a heartbeat!

Sunny Bluff was the perfect setting for our getaway. It is so cute, incredibly clean and the location is perfect -- close to town but off the beaten path and the beautiful trail to town is a bonus, even if it requires taking all the steps down first! The views are wonderful and Lynn has taken every care to make the place relaxing, fun and inviting, from comfy beds, pillows, blankets to a really functional kitchen and relaxing deck and hot tub. What more could you need or want?! Thank you!!

Wow! We loved Lynn’s home! Very comfortable, in an excellent location away from the busy downtown area but still close enough to walk to some great places. Fabulous views from every window overlooking Lake Michigan. We were able to swim from the dock and warm back up in the large hot tub! Our family had an amazing stay and Lynn is absolutely terrific with communication and very helpful with anything you need.

We chose Sunny Bluff for a sisters' reunion and it could not have been more perfect. There were 5 of us and each had their own bed which is very important at our ages (66-80). Two rooms downstairs (the bunk bedroom has a door that can be closed) and the bathroom near the larger bed were shared by 2. The other bathroom situated at the top of the upstairs floor was shared by 3 which worked out very much to our liking. Everyone had beautiful views of the lake. The main level is cozy and had us beginning the day around the large kitchen table, ending the day either around the outdoor fire table enjoying the lovely view of boats and birds and/or inside grouped in front of the fireplace. So very memorable thanks to our attentive host, Lynn. Five stars for sure!

We love Lynn’s cottage! We have stayed multiple times and always look forward to returning! Everything you could ever need for a great stay! The wood burning fireplace is our favorite! Huge hot tub up in the tree tops where you can watch the Eagles fly overhead, walking trail below, close to everything but completely secluded! Comfy beds, linens, blankets and the most beautiful view! Lynn us an amazing host and her cottage is a true gem!

This property offers stunning vistas of Green Bay from atop a forested plateau. The rental home is in close proximity to Sister Bay with its shops and stores and represents a decidedly practical plus. One cannot help but profit from the tranquil surroundings and enjoy a restful stay during any part of the year.

Magical ….This is a hidden gem and I am nervous to admit this as it could get too popular and we might not be able to get a reservation again.
The property has stunning views from every window and balcony. It sits high on a cliff overlooking the Bay with the most glorious sunsets.
When you walk into this cabin, it smells wonderful and is cozy with all the amenities you will need. They have thought of every detail. This is our second time here and the owners continue to invest in the property by refreshing and updating (new kitchen, couch, pillows, hot tub to name a few).
The location is perfect. Just a quick walk (15-20 minute walk) to town by a path along the water or you can take the road. So easy to walk to coffee, restaurants, shopping and bars! Sister Bay is the place to be and if you can stay here you will have it all.
Lyn is most gracious and caring. She will make sure your stay perfect and respond quickly to any questions or needs. I can not say enough about the property or the owners. VRBO is lucky to have this property!

We had a fabulous time in this cozy cottage with our two families. From the games to the fire pit, this house had it all! Lynn was so helpful and responsive. We never thought we’d use the fireplace in August so we hope to return again for some summer sun and heat! Thanks for a fabulous getaway!

Not our first visit nor will it be our last. This beautiful home checks off all the boxes for our family. It’s well appointed (the pictures don’t lie!!) with a sizable deck overlooking the waters of Green Bay. Our sunsets were breathtaking and accompanied by a pair of soaring eagles. The stone fireplace provides the perfect focal point in the evening after the sunset. Kick back with a book, play a board game or break out a deck of playing cards… no need to turn in the television! Lynn ( the property’s owner) is a real pro… helpful when needed and quick to respond.

This is just the perfect place to stay in Door County, nestled among trees overlooking Green Bay, quiet yet so close to all the activities and restaurants nearby. I am so grateful to have the experience of staying in an idyllic dream home in Door County without needing to be the owner of one(which would never happen!) The location, comfort, views, decor all work together to foster the ideal vacation. We made great use of our time at the house, enjoying the views as well as being out and about at the wonderful Peninsula State Park and Washington Island. A super trip!

Lovely Stay for a Girls’ Trip!
We stayed here in the spring and it was the perfect spot for a girls’ trip! The views were gorgeous and the house was very clean. We could’ve believe how charming all the decor was! It was also stocked well with all you could need in a kitchen and bathroom. And Lynn was very responsive and kind! We will definitely be back!

Simply Amazing!
I've rented many vacation rentals in the past. This one truly fit the definition of 5-star. Million dollar view, comfortable and high-end furnishings, 5-star hospitality from Lynn. The location was wonderful - convenient to get into town. It really was ideal. Despite filling every bed, the house still felt plenty big. Highly recommend.
