★ MAIN STUDIO ★
Once you open the upper floor doors, you'll enter immediately into this studio's core - we've got our washer and dryer here in an enclosed space, then next is our fully stocked kitchen including a sink, stove, and oven, full-size refrigerator, coffee machine; all for use when inside. This place also includes dishes (including silverware) and cookware to make breakfast or dinner for yourself during your stay.
Walk right past the kitchen, there sits a spacious dining table by windows looking out over trees - perfect for eating while taking in nature! Past the dining area is our bright bedroom space configured with a large King bed. On the other side of this space, there you'll find the living area with a "full" size sleeper sofa & flat screen TV tucked away in one corner; what comes next? Well just beyond it all is our full-size bathroom just waiting for its next guest.
This unique and tranquil home in the heart of Door County is designed especially for couples, or perhaps a couple with 1-2 young children. With its unique design, this studio provides an open space living and dining area and a fully-equipped kitchen perfect for your intimate relaxation. It is a wonderful place to be alone and unwind, and yet a short distance to all that Northern Door County has to offer!
Please note that our vacation rental is located above a live bakery, which may result in some delicious aromas wafting into the space. While we hope that you enjoy the scent of fresh-baked goods, we also understand that it may not be for everyone. Therefore, we have taken measures to minimize any potential disruptions to your stay. We have provided an air purifier to help with any lingering bakery smells, as well as a white noise machine to mitigate any early morning noise. We hope that these amenities will ensure that you have a comfortable and enjoyable stay with us.
OUTDOORS Enjoy a relaxing evening in our backyard with a cozy fire pit. It's perfect for roasting marshmallows, sharing stories, or simply unwinding under the stars. A great addition to your stay, offering a warm and inviting space to gather with family and friends.
CULTURED (Sourdough Bakery) Indulge in specialty sourdough bakery, where mouthwatering bagels, bread, and a delightful selection of fermented goodies like sauerkraut and kimchi are crafted. Visit their newly opened storefront every Friday to Sunday for a delicious experience (Please check their Social Media Pages for updated hours). Enjoy tempting bagel sandwiches, paired with aromatic drip coffee, while relaxing in our inviting outdoor seating area.

Clean and convenient location. There is some noise from the bakery downstairs but there is a fan provided that drowns it out. We very much enjoyed it and would stay again.

We had a perfect stay at the Bird's Nest. Very clean and decorated beautifully. Very comfy bed, quality sheets and towels. We had a wonderful breakfast sandwich downstairs at the Cultured Bakery. I would definitely recommend this little loft hideway!

This property is a very cute upstairs unit above a bakery. The cleanliness communication from the host hade us want to come back again. Very close to local venues and a great place to relax at the end of the day.

Nice and quiet and clean! The studio felt very spacious and the windows allowed in a lot of natural light. We loved that we could bring our pup along with us for the first time. The location is perfect… very close to many Door County attractions. The instructions for check in and check out were very easy to follow. We only wished the bakery was open for a delicious breakfast!

Perfect place to stay for my wife and I, as well as our dog. Very comfortable and close to most everything in northern Door, and we’ve been coming up for many years. Communicating with the owner is very easy and open. The Bird’s Nest has most everything we need, and the property has a big, beautiful yard as well. We’ll be coming back here for sure.

We enjoyed our stay at the Birds Nest. We were there on a Sunday night so not sure what it would be like with noise or traffic when the bakery is open. The place was clean and the kitchen had the basics for making dinner. It was nice to be able to bring our dog along. The only negative would be the noise from the highway next to the building.

We stayed just one night but the location was very close to Sister Bay which we love. Very clean and communication with the host was fast and easy. It is above a bakery and you can smell the aromas in the early morning but it was not bad. It smelled quite good and we did decide to wait to leave until the bakery opened so we could give it a try. Wow - so delicious!! Highly recommend. Also you can’t go to Door County without trying Cultured. Yum!

Responsive Host, clean space. Noisy directly below us in bakery from 4:00 am, difficult to sleep. Otherwise all was well.

This property is very spacious, comfortable, quiet and nicely located. Being above an artisan bread bakery makes this extra special. The host was attentive to every detail. We will be back and highly recommend The Bird’s Nest to anyone. As and extra bonus dogs are allowed! If you are not a dog owner, have no fear this space is clean and void of any hint that dogs are allowed.

What a wonderful gem! The location is wonderful - quick drive to Sister Bay, quick drive to Ephraim.
You truly have everything you need in this studio. Cute little kitchen, nice little living room space, quaint little dining room area, comfortable king size bed (the pillows were like marshmallows - so cozy!), and a generous sized bathroom/shower. This is a good sized studio - our family of four + our pup had plenty of space to stretch our legs. It's really a great spot! They put a lot of thought into creating this space - it's nicely furnished, well-kept, and clean.
The host, Tom, is wonderful and very responsive! He truly wants you to be comfortable and enjoy your stay.

This is a really well done space. Nicely laid out, clean, feels new. There is a tall flight of stairs to access in the back of the building which is a bakery. The signage is not visible at night, but the smells are amazing in the morning! Some lights to help show the way to the back would be nice since it was a bit confusing arriving in the dark. Otherwise, this is a really comfortable, lovely place to stay with an accommodating and communicative host. I would come back for sure.
