Waterfront Summer Retreat | Kayaks | Private
Sawyer Harbor Retreat is a perfect all-season getaway to enjoy some quality time with your family. This waterfront cottage is located on Sawyer Harbor, just south of Sturgeon Bay and minutes from Idlewild Golf Course and Potawatomi State Park in Door County, Wisconsin. The cottage has three bedrooms and two bathrooms and can accommodate up to ten people. The cottage has everything you need for a relaxing vacation, with a fully-equipped kitchen, a cozy living room, and a spacious patio. The property comes with a private dock, making it easy to launch kayaks or canoes for a relaxing ride in the harbor. Whether you're looking for a romantic getaway or a fun-filled family vacation, Sawyer Harbor Retreat is the perfect place to stay.
Wake up to the sound of the birds chirping and the sun just starting to peek over the horizon. Sit on the back patio with a cup of coffee and watch as the world comes to life. Kayak or canoe around the harbor as the sun rises, or paddle out to the middle of the harbor and just float. In the evening, build an outdoor fire in the fire pit and sit around chatting with friends and family, watching as the stars come out one by one. Toast marshmallows and make s'mores, then head to bed feeling exhausted from all the fresh air. In the morning, do it all over again. Life is good when you have a huge backyard, two kayaks, and plenty of yard games.

Coffee lovers will adore our coffee station, which is perfect for starting your day right. With gas or charcoal grills on the patio, cooking up burgers or hot dogs becomes a delight. Whether you're cooking for many or just yourself, our kitchen at Sawyer Harbor Retreat ensures your stay is enjoyable and memorable.
Comfortable Living and Dining Room for Everyone:
Imagine waking up in the morning and enjoying a cup of coffee while overlooking the bay. Or spending quality time with your family in the evening, playing board games or watching movies together. This is the reality at Sawyer Harbor Retreat, where an open space living and dining room ensures that everyone has plenty of room to relax. The huge windows let in natural light and provide stunning views of the water, while the cozy gas fireplace creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. The dining area is perfect for family meals, and the flat-screen Smart TV is perfect for entertainment. With a vaulted ceiling and plenty of board games, this is the perfect place to spend quality time with your loved ones.
Master Bedroom:
After a long day of exploring Door County, there's nothing better than sinking into a king-sized bed in our beautiful master bedroom. The south-facing windows offer stunning views of Sawyer Harbor, and the ceiling fan ensures you'll always be comfortable. Our ensuite bathroom comes complete with fresh linens and all the amenities you need to relax. And for our remote workers, we've got you covered with a dedicated desk and workspace.

Guest Bedroom
The guest bedroom is a cozy haven when it's time for bed. The queen bed is comfortable and inviting, with fresh, crisp linens and plenty of pillows. The room is on the first floor, so there are no stairs. And you'll always be able to find what you need, whether it's an extra blanket or a place to charge your phone. The full guest bathroom is adjacent to the guest bedroom.
Sleeping Loft
The upstairs loft is an excellent place for kids (or adults) to have a little more space to themselves. The loft sleeps up to six with two queen beds and a futon. Plus, it has a ceiling fan to keep you cool in the summer. Our board and card games and a few books are located in the loft for the days you choose to stay in the cottage.
Large Yard on the Harbor
** 2024 is a bit different by the water. Low water levels in Lake Michigan may inhibit your ability to put in the canoe or the kayaks near the dock. **
Nestled in the harbor, our large backyard offers a picturesque setting for quality time with loved ones. From the dock and waterfront for aquatic adventures to the sprawling lawn for outdoor games, and a cozy fire pit with ample seating – our space caters to all your leisure needs. Indulge in al fresco dining on the spacious patio equipped with an umbrella, an outdoor dining table, and dual grills (gas and charcoal), which are perfect for summer cooking. Unwind under the sun or embark on water escapades - create cherished memories that will linger at Sawyer Harbor Retreat's idyllic outdoor haven.
Heading Into Town
Sawyer Harbor Retreat is the perfect mix of secluded and convenient. Though you're only 12 minutes from downtown Sturgeon Bay, the property feels nicely tucked away. It's also just a 5-minute drive to Idlewild golf course and 7 minutes to Potawatomi State Park, making it an ideal home base for exploring all that Door County has to offer. You'll appreciate the peace and quiet of the retreat while still being close to all the best the area offers. See why Sawyer Harbor Retreat is the perfect place to escape it all.
Excellent Year-Round Fishing
If you're visiting during the winter, the ice fishing is fantastic as Sawyer Harbor transforms into an ice fishing haven. There's a public boat launch just a minute away with ample parking that provides year-round access to the water via boat in the summer or ATV and truck in the winter.
