The Refuge Log Home is nestled in a beautiful, wooded 5 acres across the street from Lake Michigan and is 4 miles east of Sister Bay in Northern Door County, WI. Listen to the waves from the home or take a short walk (300 ft) down the road to our private property with 100ft of shoreline. Enjoy the water from an Adirondack chair, a canoe or kayak, or wade right in! The wooded setting is quiet and sheltered and the lake may be viewed from the separate waterfront property.

Have fun exploring the woods. Deer are frequently seen. if you're lucky, you might spot a turkey family, an owl, or the newly discovered porcupine that occasionally makes an appearance. Spend your evenings around the fire enjoying the incredible stars. The home is located on a peaceful dead-end street with light car and foot traffic. It is less than ten minutes to downtown Sister Bay, a wonderful town with fun shops and great restaurants to explore and enjoy. Sand Bay Beach is just five minutes away and the villages of Baileys Harbor, Ephriam and Fish Creek are close too.

These two properties, woods and water, are the perfect getaway for family and friends!

The open floor plan is spacious and comfortable. The whole family can gather around the stone fireplace. There are many cozy places to retreat to for some quiet relaxation. Enjoy the outdoors from the front porch or the screen porch in back. Or grab a book from the bookcase and head up to a window seat in an upstairs dormer for some quiet reading.

The home has four private bedrooms, one on the main floor with a King size bed and three more upstairs. The large bonus room with three sky lights over the garage is perfect for movie nights or reading. The built-in bunks in the bunk room are always a thrill for kids! Please note that the 2nd floor bunk room does not have doors to close it off from common areas.

The Refuge is a true retreat any time of year. Whether it's enjoying the long days of summer on the screen porch, the crisp Fall nights around the campfire, hunkering down on a cozy wintry night by the fire, or spotting the first sounds and sights of Spring, we sure you will enjoy your stay.

Lake Michigan Water change from year to year. The Photos show both high and low water levels.

This was our second time staying in this home. The cabin is beautiful and surrounded by the best Door County has to offer -- Forest, lake, privacy, quiet, but still only 10-15 minutes away from anything you might need.

Nice, fully stocked house. Great, quiet location. Close to Sister Bay, but far enough away to feel secluded. The private beach access was also a plus (just a little unclear as to where the entrance was). Would visit again.

This property was perfect for our long weekend. So close to all the shops/activities of Door County but also felt like we were camping in nature. The place had everything we needed plus so much more. Loved that it had puzzles, books and games available if the weather hadn’t cooperated. Enjoyed having coffee in the sun room. Would definitely recommend!!!

Lovely stay in a beautiful cabin!

A lovely stay in a beautiful home. We had a great weekend and enjoyed the fire pit at both the house and the beach each night! The kitchen was completely stocked with any kitchenware needed to make dinners and breakfasts together for our group. Great place to hang out as a family in between seeing many beautiful sights in Door County.
