This rustic and charming 3 bedroom cottage has been in our family for over 100 years. It can sleep 7 adults plus we have 2 cots that can be pulled out for kids. The cottage is nestled in the woods on the shore of Lake Michigan, 3 miles from Oostburg, Wisconsin. Our wonderful Sweetbriar creek is out our back door with beautiful Lake Michigan out the front door.
This cottage is a joy to be at during the warmer months of spring and summer, But is also a cozy peaceful place to get away fromthe hustle and bustle of our increasingly hectic modern world in the early and late fall months.

(IMPORTANT information... Please bare with us as the beach is constantly changing in size and in the last 3 years the Lake levels have been relatively high.
Luckily the sand and beach has come back and is filling in.

* Update April 2024 there is beach for walking and swimming, playing. The beach is coming back. Inside our cottage there is ample room for cooking, baking, and dining together. There are games, tables, nooks for reading, a wood burning fireplace in the living room and a sunny sitting room facing the lake. Also we offer wireless internet and an HD flat screen TV. for local channels and for your streaming plus a cottage phone line.
The deck looks out over the lake and In the morning our sunbathed deck provides a wonderful place to sit, read, visit and sip morning coffee. (We provide a table umbrella and sand Beach umbrellas). (also available beach towels and some hats.) This deck becomes shaded in the mid afternoon as the sun drops behind the White Pines providing relief from the late afternoon heat.

As evening comes on, building an outdoor fire, enjoying dinner around the fire ring or on the deck provide a fitting finale to the day.

Particular activities for this natural area include taking a beach walk or a bike ride in the wooded one lane shaded road that parallels the meandering creek. You can admire the natural boreal forest with its Canadian Hemlock, Sugar Maples, Beech trees, and native ferns.

Well behaved dogs are always welcome.

Close by are an abundance of activities including- the Kohler art museum, state parks, bike paths and quaint little towns.

For more places to visit, walk, and swim at a Beach you can take a quick drive north to Kohler Andrea State Park (North)Beach. It is a 5 minute drive ! Approximately 4 miles away. Very fun to walk, collect beach stones and drift wood, picnic and swim, dogs are allowed in certain places on a leash. There is also a visitor center for kids and Adults to enjoy. Entry is 3.00 / day pass. ( It is a State Park so fees apply but if you already have a yearly sticker you are all set. (and if you choose, there is plenty of room at the park to social distance and to enjoy the beach safely.) You might also look into Amsterdam State Park or Sheboygan City Beach for more Lakefront fun.
Sheboygan also has a wonderful Library and Children's museum to visit. )

We hope that you enjoy your time at our cottage as much as we do.

Thank you and We hope that you will stay with us. Thank you for looking.

    Very clean and cozy with easy beach access and views of Lake Michigan throughout the cottage. Clearly a loved cottage that we loved right back. Nice to be able to bring my four legged family member. Dog beds and toys on site a welcoming touch.

    The homeowners were very friendly and accommodating. The cottage was extremely clean, cozy, and had everything we needed. It is neat to see all the family history in this cottage with pictures and decorations. Our trip was in early April, so the weather was a bit unpredictable, but we found plenty to do in the area during the rain. Lots of games to play in the cottage as well, which we did. The parking is a little tight, but we managed. The shower is also quite small, if you were a larger person it might be tough. Can't beat the beach views and the beach is nice and wide for long walks. Oostburg is a nice small town with a good bakery, we always go when we are in town. We love Sheboygan too and have several businesses we always patronize while in town. Overall, nice spot to spend your time away.

    What a special place! If you are a fan of Lake Michigan it would be hard to find a better spot to enjoy it. The cabin is so charming and the view/access to the beach is perfect. We had our dogs with us and the completely fenced deck was such a great amenity. Everything was very clean and well stocked. If possible we will stay here again. We enjoyed this home and its location very very much.

    Everything was exceptionally clean and ready for us. We enjoyed long walks on the beach and the surrounding roads. It always feels like home! Didn’t even get in the car (why would we?) for the whole 5 days. Hope to be back for year 6 next fall!

    Another wonderful stay at Byrnside. Words cannot describe the beauty, wonder and relaxation experienced during our stay. The lake and beach were absolutely perfect. From digging holes and making sandcastles to riding the waves on the sandbar, so much fun to be had. The cottage itself is full of family history, both intriguing and very heartwarming. Sheboygan is just a hop skip away and has the BEST farmers market, excellent children’s museum, beautiful waterfront and many many choices for dining. Our family loves coming to stay for our end of summer/beginning of school start up and it’s just so awesome every time!

    I didn’t leave for 4 days except to take long walks with my dog. It was very relaxing and so quiet. This is the fourth year that my dog and I have been here and we will be back again next year! So nice to have a lot of beach to walk on.
