Ellison Bay, Wisconsin
The Sweet Cottage on the Bay....
Schwandt Cottage, in beautiful Gills Rock, is the perfect place for rest, rejuvenation and relaxation. The cottage was once owned by one of the fishing families of Door County and it was built in the mid 1920’s. It has been painstakingly restored to one of the quaintest, most delightful cottages in the area.
Gills Rock is in northern Door County, away from the hustle and bustle of some of the other towns in the County. It is significantly quieter, with less traffic. It is certainly possible to come to Schwandt Cottage and stay a week without leaving....it is just hard to leave after you get there, regardless of the season.
The view is outstanding! From the living room, the deck, the kitchen, and the private beach, guests can watch the changing moods of Green Bay, local fisherman coming and going, the incredible sunset which always provides an outstanding skyscape at the end of the day, and an occasional glimpse of a freighter passing the Door.

This was our third stay at the Schwandt cottage and it was as wonderful as ever. The cottage is comfortable and cozy and we never tire of the amazing view, especially the famous Door County sunsets. We have already booked next year’s visit.
Very cozy cottage in a stunning environment, peaceful and beautiful.
This was our second stay at the Schwandt Cottage and we have already booked again for next year. The cottage is the perfect low-key get-away, nestled just feet from the shores of Green Bay in quiet and serene Gills Rock, away from all of the hustle and bustle of Door County. The view from the awesome new picture window is breathtaking.
Had an amazing time here! The owner is extremely friendly, communicative and has thought of every need for guests. The location is close enough to the excitement during the day and a wonderful retreat at night. The water views are breathtaking. If you enjoy lake life, this is the perfect location.
This was our third visit to this charming cabin on the lake. Every visit is just as lovely as the first one. The cabin is spotlessly clean and perfectly furnished and supplied with everything you need to feel right at home. Evenings by the fire watching the sunsets are simply magical. Communication with the owners is seamless. More than 5 stars! Truly perfection!
The cottage provided the serenity that allows one to truly relax. The location was perfect! Close to the water and far from The crowds! It was clean, well supplied, and just the right size! Thank you!
We've enjoyed Georgi and Mike's cottage before, but this was an especially wonderful visit. The location is just such a little slice of heaven. I get mesmerized staring at the bay. Perfectly cozy with every comfort you need plus a to-die-for view and a great fire pit. Thoroughly enjoyed!
Lovely little cabin in the best location. Nicely stocked, very clean and wonderfully appointed. We loved it so much we’re coming back next year!
We had a wonderful time celebrating our anniversary! We spent our evenings at the fire pit overlooking the gorgeous lake. Such peaceful, quiet, beautiful surroundings! The hosts were also very responsive to questions & proactively reaching out to make sure we knew about their home & the things to do in the area. Great experience all around!
We’ll, it certainly isn’t Iowa. What a perfect place to relax and rejuvenate and enjoy the stunning beauty of Lake Michigan and northern Door County. The cottage is cozy and comfortable and the setting is breathtaking. We are already looking forward to a return visit next fall
