Tranquil home located on Europe Lake . The perfect spot to unplug this summer!

Welcome to Dark Sky Lakehouse, nestled on a 1.7 acre wooded lot on the shores of Europe Lake, one of Door County’s most secluded and pristine bodies of water. This vacation paradise has over 160’ of lake frontage and a private dock that can accommodate a watercraft up to 20’. Enjoy unobstructed views and direct access to Newport State Park, an internationally designated dark sky location offering some of the best star gazing in the world. Quiet sports such as swimming, paddling, fishing and hiking are literally out your front door in the milder months. Snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, ice skating and more will have you enjoying the outdoors once the snow starts to fly!

The open concept main floor combines the living, dining, and kitchen area perfect for gathering together. The kitchen is fully stocked and equipped with every gadget imaginable, including a gas stove and a Weber grill off the front deck. All that’s needed is your culinary creativity and a trip to the Pig for supplies.

Convenient sleeping arrangements include two bedrooms and two full baths on the main floor, while the second floor includes two bedrooms and share a full bath. All bedrooms have tranquil views of either the pristine lake or the beautiful woods. Three of the bedrooms include private outdoor space.

Along with a very comfortable interior, Dark Sky Lakehouse has an abundance of outdoor space. A large deck off the living room provides stunning views of the wooded property down to the waterfront and a fire pit with ample seating including a picnic table is located right by the lake. Perfect for telling ghost stories or roasting marshmallows!
