Lake-House With The Best View Of Cana Island And It's Lighthouse You Can Find!

Relax in this well appointed two bedroom, two bath home tucked in the Boreal Forest on the Lake Michigan shore in the heart of the quiet side of Door County. The home is located about 6 miles (10 minutes) from Baileys Harbor, 9 miles (15 minutes) from Sister Bay or Ephraim and 14 miles (20 minutes) from Fish Creek. The home is conveniently located near many restaurants, shops, hiking trails, parks and other local attractions.

Outside, enjoy the view from the benches or hammocks along the shoreline, or while sitting on the large deck at the front of the house. Or maybe roast marshmallows around the campfire. With a little luck, you might see a pelican, a bald eagle, a pileated woodpecker, or a seagull dive for a fish. A two-person kayak and two paddle boards are included to explore the lake. If you just want to cool off in the lake, make sure to bring your water shoes; the bedrock beach is rocky.

The open great room features large patio doors and windows looking out to the Cana Island lighthouse and Lake Michigan. The patio doors open onto a large deck bordering the front of the home. On cool nights, enjoy the wood burning fireplace too! The couch, oversized chair and other seating provide ample seating for conversation or watching a movie on the 55" flat screen TV with a variety of streaming services or the Blu-Ray player. The couch and oversized chair convert to a queen and single bed if you need. These pullout beds are comfortable - really; no springs or support bars to stick into your back! There is a large cabinet that holds a wide selection of games, puzzles, movies, and books.

Adjoining the great room is the dining area with a table seating six comfortably.

The dining area opens into a fully equipped kitchen; electric oven, microwave, refrigerator, coffee maker, toaster and all the equipment you might need. A charcoal grill is available for barbecuing as well (charcoal and lighter fluid supplied).

Two bedrooms. Each with a queen bed and ample storage in the built-in closet storage system. The beds have Casper mattresses. Pillows and bedding are supplied.

One bedroom connects to a full bath with a tub and shower. The second bath has a shower with plenty of cabinet space. Towels and washcloths are supplied.

Come stay with us - We'll leave the lighthouse on for you!

Weekend Refresh

The cozy house was a perfect spot for our girls’ weekend. We enjoyed the view of the Cana Island Lighthouse and the sounds of the calming waves. The open concept main living space was perfect for cooking meals (and the heated floors in the kitchen were an extra bonus). The beds were comfy and having two bathrooms was very convenient. I would love to stay here again!

A Lovely Haven in the Woods

Beautiful facility - had any amenities a guest might need. The beauty of it all was breathtaking...I was absolutely enthralled by the Cana Island Lighthouse and spent many hours on the deck and the benches by the beach just taking it all in. The cottage was so comfortable! After spending the day shopping/sightseeing on the Green Bay side, it was so nice to return "home" to the calm, serene surroundings of the cottage in the woods.

Gem on the bay

This was our 3rd visit to Boreal Beach House. It is predictably a 5 star stay for us. We are so comfortable there we think of it as our summertime home. You get privacy due to the location and in addition lots of sunshine to enjoy on the front porch. Will repeat this great stay next year. John and Monica

Escape!

A great way to experience Door County and escape from reality for awhile! The owner's have done a beautiful job of decorating, offering everything one could need. I highly recommend this vacation rental for anyone who has a love for water, sunrises and periodic moments of laziness with a little glass of wine on the side!!

Great property

Really enjoyed our stay here. The kitchen was well-stocked, we loved the heated floors, the lighthouse was gorgeous at night, and everything worked perfectly. The only suggestion I have is to update the shower head in the larger bathroom - it was not the best shower experience because it sprays all over and I don’t usually wash my hair every day. Other than that - loved the property and would come back!

Beautiful property

I don't think the photos do this home justice. Beautiful location on Lake Michigan - we loved falling to sleep to the sound of gentle waves. Really lovely decor in the home. Very comfortable beds. Can't beat the quiet location near Cana Island. Though the shoreline was rocky and not ideal for swimming, a great little beach was a short bike ride away. We will be back!

I just returned from 4 days in this beautiful home. Pictures really do not do this place justice, inside or out. It was a fabulous experience. Very clean. My sister and I slept on the pullouts and they were very comfortable. Thanks for letting us borrow your place for a bit, Steve and Amy! I do plan on a return visit soon!

Great house on the lake!

Perfect size for two couples. Kitchen appliances have been upgraded since the photos so that was a plus. Kitchen is very well stocked with everything you need and more. Views are amazing! Beds were comfortable. Internet worked great. We felt bad walking in and out constantly on the white carpet in the living room. Could use a step or two off the deck for easier access to the firepit and water but that's just nitpicking. Lots of firewood on site was another nice bonus. Overall A+ property!

Amazing!

The pictures do not do this house justice. The house was very clean! No issues with checking in or out. The rock beach was great for the kiddos. They explored it for as long as they could “before they got cold”. The host was very helpful. The internet went out and I messaged Steve and he replied in a matter of minutes!! Great service!! Again over all amazing experience, trying to figure out when to come back in the warmer months.

Our stay was short and the weather was not good (rain and high wind the whole time). The view was great but the rocky shoreline made it more difficult to enjoy. The cabin was nice but both showers were pretty bad.

I wanted an out of the way, peaceful place on the water to relax and enjoy a few sunrises. This wooded property was perfect. Well equipped with everything we needed. Indoor fire place was much appreciated at night while playing games and sipping wine. Everything was clean and comfortable.
