ONLY 3.5 HOURS FROM THE NORTHERN SUBURBS OF CHICAGO!! Sturgeon Bay is as much as an hour closer and more convenient than many other Door County towns. In fact, from 94/294 all the way to Sturgeon Bay is now all (at least) four-lane highway.

Imagine yourself in this clean and upscale cottage in the woods across the street from Lake Michigan's beaches.................

Hidden Glidden Cottage is a charming and clean and cozy two-bedroom, two bathroom cottage romantically hidden behind a sand dune on scenic Glidden Drive, east of Sturgeon Bay in beautiful Door County, Wisconsin! Glidden Drive meanders peacefully along the Lake Michigan shore. The house is nestled in the woods across the street from the lake and you have beach access rights to a wonderful sandy beach only 250 steps up the road.

You will find that the private, picturesque location boasts decks on all sides of the house, as well as a peaceful screened porch. Since this is our family vacation home, you will find it equipped with all of the niceties and conveniences we like to find when we arrive. In the kitchen you have a microwave oven, full-size oven/stove, full-size refrigerator, disposal, toaster, blender, coffee maker & grinder, small food grinder, pots & pans, glasses, plates, bowls, cups, cutlery, etc. In the main bedroom you have a pillow-top queen-size bed, attached full bath with marble-topped vanity, a Toto toilet and a bathtub, and a television with Roku. The second bedroom features a queen-size bed, a television with Roku and small, secluded and private outdoor deck with a porch swing. Both beds are furnished with upscale linens for your comfort. The guest bath features a cheerful sunflower motif and a walk-in shower. The bedrooms have Berber carpet. The great room has Hickory hard-wood floors.

The kitchen is conveniently located in a corner of the great room, which also includes a dining area with a rustic table for six as well as a lounging area in front of a large, wood-burning, fieldstone fireplace. There is a CD/Cassette stereo as well as a television over the fireplace. We have also included a small selection of games and books for your enjoyment. The sofa in the great room is a queen-size sleeper with a memory foam mattress. Off to the north of the great room, through French doors, is the peaceful screened porch, which is furnished with comfortable white wicker furniture. Through the wall of windows to the east of the great room is a large deck with adirondak lounging furniture and dining chairs and a table, as well as a gas grill--perfect for outdoor dining and also for curling up in the sun or shade (depending on time of day) with a good book! Nature lovers will adore the view, and there are bird feeders near the deck, as well as a bird bath.

For your convenience, there are a full-size washing machine and dryer in the closet adjacent to the entry hall. There are beach towels in the linen closet, and the garage is equipped with beach chairs and toys, tennis racquets, an ocean kayak, a basketball and a couple of children's bicycles.

The rental fee includes all listed conveniences, normal cleaning (no dishes or pots left in the sink), washing of used linens and towels (one set per person staying), and WiFi. We request a Damage/Breakage Deposit, which will be returned to you after the house has been turned over in good condition and we have received the keys back in the mail (if applicable).

    Booked for 4, 2 could not make the trip. The bed we used was very comfortable. Arrived in the dark. All outside flood lights were burned out. Grilled by flashlight. Found mouse droppings on kitchen counters and in dishes. Cleaned up. They were back the next morning. Bought paper dishes and mouse traps. We did not use the counters for food prep or dishes to eat. We swept and vacuumed the kitchen floor. We cleaned pots and bowls we had to use. Found 4 of many bulbs in closet were still good. Replaced floodlight bulbs with regular bulbs. 3/4 bath hand soap dispenser was empty. Toilet paper would have run out with 4 people. Was chilly at night, no dry firewood provided for 1st fire. Had to use aux electric heat. Two old couches were adequate but not comfortable for sitting. A comfy chair or two would have been a nice touch. Tried to watch Netflix but movies stopped and spooled. Tubi worked. We didn't really plan to watch much TV. Carpets were stained. Evidence of more mice on the floors so we didn't walk in bare feet. We tried to spend as much time exploring DC as we could and not in the cottage. We Left the morning of 10/14/25. Saw more droppings in the bowl we had washed, used, and re-washed. We left a note for the owners in that bowl and a box of burned out light bulbs by the door. We think this review would have been much less critical had we not walked into and continued to put up with the mice and been able to see on the deck. We never really settled in after that.

    We really enjoyed our stay. Place was as advertised. We loved the privacy and seclusion. The fire pit was great as was the back deck. Only issue we had was some of the dishes in the cabinets had not been cleaned. But everything else was clean. We would stay there again. Great for a quiet getaway with good beach access.

    Not as close to the lake as advertised. Beach that is closest is rocky and small. You are better off going to White Fish Dunes/state park. Renters guide needs serious updating although issues we had with heat on our first night were quickly resolved. Owner responded quickly by sending Handy Max to us. He was a nice guy and very helpful. Not a bad place but also very remote and takes some driving to get anywhere.

    The cottage has a nice outdoor deck, nice screened porch, nice fire pit, and nice living room spot so lots of fun places to gather!! It is a short walk to beach access for sunrises and sunsets and beach strolls in between. It is a great spot. We were very sad to leave
