Description Description
Embark on your next Door County adventure at Owl's Nest, brought to you by Simple Life Rentals! Nestled at the end of a secluded road, this private year-round retreat boasts 185 feet of rugged lakefront along Sand Bay (on the Green Bay side of Lake Michigan). Embrace the tranquility of a wooded lakeside haven, flanked by neighbors on just one side, offering the ultimate setting for unwinding and rejuvenating.

With 4 bedrooms and three full baths, this home invites family gatherings to create cherished memories. In winter, watch ice fishing right from the comfort of home. Come summer, bask in the sun on the dock or unwind in the expansive screened-in porch. Bring along your kayaks or canoes and set sail from the shore to explore the bay's wonders at your leisure.

We recommend Wave Pointe marina, which is right next to the public boat launch as it offers daily slip rentals as well as a swimming pool. This marina is just 4.6 miles away.

We had such a great stay! The place was super clean, spacious, and had everything we needed. There were plenty of blankets, pillows, and even lots of silverware in the kitchen. We used the kitchen, the grill, and the bonfire—it was perfect! The kids loved all the toys and games, though we couldn’t find the high chair. The TV and WiFi worked great too. There’s a fireplace, but we couldn’t get it to turn on and didn’t want to mess with it too much. The location was beautiful—right on the water with amazing views. Plus, there are a bunch of places nearby that sell firewood. We loved it here and can’t wait to come back next year!

The house was great, neighborhood perfect. The beds, linens, kitchen all could not have been better. Two issues, the master bath’s vanity looked melted with a larger burn mark on the floor, both should be updated. Not sure if the house had been empty for awhile, there was a layer of dust on the master headboard and cobwebs in the master closet. All of the controls, TV, fans, need new batteries.

Enjoyable stay
Loved the screened in porch. Very nice home, great view from the master bedroom. The only improvement would be to mow a path to the pier from the back yard and remow the path from the front yard to the pier. There was poison ivy on the path that was on the side yard.

Thank you for your review! We're glad you enjoyed the screened-in porch and the view from the master bedroom.

Delightful Door County Home
Our stay was absolutely amazing! This charming home was clean and equipped with games and such to make for a fun weekend. The host is very reliable and easy to communicate with. The view of the water is spectacular and the location is perfect, slightly secluded and easy to find. I highly recommend this home for a delightful stay in door county.

Small updates needed
A few updates needed. During our stay we wanted to use the toaster, but it did not work. No big deal but was an inconvenience. The coffee pot was also broken, and the dishwasher leaked. When a storm blew through, they were amazing and getting back to us, when damage occurred. I would recommend staying here with friends or family. It was beautiful.

Wonderful stay
Our group of 5 women (ages mid thirties to mid sixties) had a blast at this home. It is beautiful, clean, and is spacious. The neighbor is so nice and gave us some great ideas for restaurants and day trips. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Loved watching the bay!
The screened patio was perfect! The open concept lay out was great for inclusion no matter where you were. No cell reception there for us which made it a great place to disconnect. Wifi was available which still allowed you to connect a bit if you wanted. Overall, great stay! A bit pricey but we splurged for our family outing. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

We had a great time at The Owl's Nest in Sturgeon Bay.
The place was clean, well-stocked with kitchenwares, and beddings, and a dock, firepit, and a screened back patio. A perfect place to watch the sunset, and to hear the waves and birds. The only negative thing was not being able to use the grill since it wasn't ckeaned before our group came, but we did get to use the firepit to grill. If there things needing attention the maintenance staff was there quick to fix. We would recommend this place to rent from again.
Monica L. - Posted: 8/28/2022
Thank you for letting us know about your concerns with the grill, we have followed up on that with our housekeeping team. So happy to hear you enjoyed the outdoors and the home! We appreciate all your feedback and would be happy to host you again!

A beautiful home and great location! It's a secluded property with wonderful views of the lake. There is a nice lawn for fires, laying, or lawn games. The dock on the lake provides a great view, but was not ideal for swimming off (it is very high up) so we enjoyed floating in the water off the beach instead. It worked wonderfully for a ladies weekend for us.

Rustic older cabin with lots of room for a larger group. Dock is a very short walk from the property, there is no beach area access. Nice screened in porch, backyard fire pit. Bathrooms a bit dated but still work well and we had a nice stay with the kids and grandparents all together. About 15 min drive from downtown Sturgeon Bay and 45 mins from Sister Bay
