Embark on your next Door County adventure at The Owl's Nest, brought to you by Simple Life Rentals! Nestled at the end of a secluded road, this private year-round retreat boasts 185 feet of rugged lakefront along Sand Bay (on the Green Bay side of Lake Michigan). Embrace the tranquility of a wooded lakeside haven, flanked by neighbors on just one side, offering the ultimate setting for unwinding and rejuvenating.
With 4 bedrooms and three full baths, this home invites family gatherings to create cherished memories. In winter, watch ice fishing right from the comfort of home. Come summer, bask in the sun on the dock or unwind in the expansive screened-in porch. Bring along your kayaks or canoes and set sail from the shore to explore the bay's wonders at your leisure.
Savor breathtaking sunsets painting the water in hues of gold and crimson, a perfect finale to each day spent at The Owl's Nest. We can't wait to host you!
**This home is located in a quiet community with neighbors and is geared toward quiet family vacations. Due to the proximity of neighbors, we cannot accommodate reunions, bachelor or bachelorette parties or other rowdy gatherings.
This property is equipped with a decibel monitoring sensor located inside and outside of the home. Please do not remove or tamper with the devices.
