Koselig Cottage

Welcome to Koselig Cottage, hosted by Simple Life Rentals! Our charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath cottage in Ellison Bay is the perfect cozy retreat for up to 6 guests.

Nestled on five luscious acres, it offers a serene escape while being conveniently close to all of the "action." Step inside and be greeted by exposed beams and a wood-clad ceiling, creating an inviting atmosphere that embraces you.

Situated in the heart of the Door, our cottage is perfectly located between Sister Bay and Ellison Bay. You'll be only half a mile away from the bay and Ellison Bay Beach, where you can soak up the sun and enjoy the refreshing waters. Additionally, Lake Michigan is just a short two-mile drive away, offering more opportunities for lakeside adventures.
