Located just a few miles outside the City of Sturgeon Bay Cote's Cottage is truly the perfect place to escape from it all.

Only 3 miles from the Coast Guard Station and Light House, it's a great walk or bike to walk out on the lighthouse pier!

Sturgeon Bay and the greater Door County offer many Artist Collectives (The Pearl, Lightbox, ReClaimed & Co). You can check out a play at Sturgeon Bay's newly renovated theater (Third Avenue Playhouse | T.A.P) or go enjoy a show at the one-of-a-kind Peninsula Players Theater or under the stars at Northern Sky Theater. Door County is full of wonderful places to shop, galleries to peruse, wineries to stop and sip and top notch restaurants that start in Sturgeon Bay (CRATE) and go all the way to the tip of the county.

Sturgeon Bay offers multiple sand beaches (Otumba and Sunset park), Potawatomi State Park or any of the Door County Land Trust properties that are perfect to take in the beauty of Door County. We have two YMCA locations for those looking to get their workout in, use the indoor lap pool or children's indoor playroom/pool for those unfortunate rainy days.

Pleasant stay.

Beautiful view. Great property manager. Needs some updates. Well water had a very bad odor. Upstairs shower did not seem to have hot water and was very small. Overall cozy and quiet. Did not even notice the neighbors.

Family fun in the sun

An idyllic beach house in the magnificent Lake Michigan. Everything we needed to stay in the family bubble was right there. We rented bikes from Nor Dor- great fit, service, easy peasy. Door County has pristine empty back roads for miles of gorgeous biking. When we needed more wine glasses at the house for dinner - they were delivered within 30 minutes. Great location for beach fires, quiet environment in the woods. We’ll be back.

Amazing home-Photos don’t do it justice!

We loved our weekend at Cote’s cottage! The view and lake access are unparalleled. The home was otherwise as advertised, with a fully functional kitchen and sleep spaces. The common area was small for the number of bedrooms but this was more than made up for with the outdoor space.
