My family loved the access to the beach, the quiet neighborhood, and all the useful kitchen amenities. The cottage was clean and cozy. It comfortably held our family of 6. The kids loved the double bunkbed and the park just down the street. My wife and I loved that we could walk right into the shops in town. A relaxing stay!

What a joy to read your review! We love that the kids had fun with the bunkbeds while you enjoyed the shops and quiet neighborhood. So glad the cottage was a cozy fit for all 6 of you!

This was our second time staying at the property and we just love it! The house is so clean and has plenty of fresh towels and linens. We chose the property for the location to the beach, which is unmatched.

It means so much to hear you came back for another stay and loved it just as much! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the cleanliness, comfort, and the beach right at your doorstep.

The one bedroom with the bunk beds, we couldn’t figure out how to work the window shades to close them. Rather than risk damaging them we used pillows at night to cover the bottom half. Great location by the beach, comfortable house, good kitchen, nice to have a Weber grill for outdoor cooking, met a few neighbors, always a great Lake breeze….
Jeffrey - Posted: 8/8/2025
Thank you for the kind words! We’re so glad you enjoyed the beach location, the grill, and those lake breezes. We’ll be sure to check the window shades, thanks for pointing that out!

Although it was a little smaller than we expected, it was fantastic place to stay. The location on Lake Michigan with a beautiful 1.5 mile sand beach that was great for a morning walk was great. It is located on the quieter side of Door County, but very easy to get to everything on the peninsula . Highly recommend taking advantage of the kayaking and bike rentals nearby! Would definitely stay here again.

Love hearing you enjoyed the peaceful side of Door County and those beach walks, sounds like the perfect start to the day! We’d love to have you back again!

My husband and I enjoyed the location of the Little White Cottage. The house was spotless, easy to find and close to the beach. We enjoyed walking on the beach every evening after returning from our daily adventures. We hope to return next year.

This was the perfect beach cottage. Walkable to the park, groceries, coffee shop and of course the beach. Extremely clean. We will be back.

Cozy little cottage that’s been nicely updated. Beach was about as good as it gets in Door County with nice little sand bar for young kids. We enjoyed walking to farmers market and the local park as well as biking to Whitefish and Cave Point. The cottage is nestled amongst several other cabins but the neighbors are extremely friendly and helpful. We would stay here again.

We had a great stay at the cottage and would happily return. The house is well outfitted and in a great location right by the beach. It would have been nice to have access to the washer/dryer in unit, but we didn't expect to use it as it is appropriately flagged as off-limits in the listing. Overall, a great stay, and we'd recommend this listing to others

Thanks Doug, for your feedback to us! We are glad you had a great stay!
