Embark on your next Door County adventure at Owl's Nest, brought to you by Simple Life Rentals! Nestled at the end of a secluded road, this private year-round retreat boasts 185 feet of rugged lakefront along Sand Bay (on the Green Bay side of Lake Michigan). Embrace the tranquility of a wooded lakeside haven, flanked by neighbors on just one side, offering the ultimate setting for unwinding and rejuvenating.

With 4 bedrooms and three full baths, this home invites family gatherings tocreate cherished memories. In winter, watch ice fishing right from the comfort of home. Come summer, bask in the sun on the dock or unwind in the expansive screened-in porch. Bring along your kayaks or canoes and set sail from the shore to explore the bay's wonders at your leisure.

We recommend Wave Pointe marina, which is right next to the public boat launch as it offers daily slip rentals as well as a swimming pool. This marina is just 4.6 miles away.

    The house was great, neighborhood perfect. The beds, linens, kitchen all could not have been better. Two issues, the master bath’s vanity looked melted with a larger burn mark on the floor, both should be updated. Not sure if the house had been empty for awhile, there was a layer of dust on the master headboard and cobwebs in the master closet. All of the controls, TV, fans, need new batteries.

    Location was great. Beautiful sunsets Couldn’t use pier due to unstable walkway. Tree in backyard half way down and unsafe. Screen on porch was broken we fixed. Also screens were very dirty with cobwebs very hard to see out. Mattresses all need to be replaced. Kitchen super unorganized, hard to find things. The shower off the kitchen was filthy. Rug in front of fireplace is a tripping hazard we tripped a lot. Broken shower fan in master bathroom. I would not recommend without major cleaning and repair.

    the property was dated, was at the end of the road next to the forest. the backyard was not very well kept and overall the property needs some love. the lake view though from the backyard (and from the sunroom and one of the bedrooms) was amazing!we booked it fairly late, and we planned to spend time out of the house most of the day, so was not as much of an issue for us.wrt kitchen - the bare minimum things were there - Oil, salt and pepper. pots, pans, glasses, utensils were all there, so no issue. water had a weird small- i am unsure if this is generally true in the area or was specific to the house, so i cant add any more context on it.target was 10 mins drive away, so was sturgeon bay. the rental company was responsive on email when the wifi broke, but it was time for us to leave, so wasn’t much that could have been done.overall did the job, though i won’t stay here again.

    Loved the screened in porch. Very nice home, great view from the master bedroom. The only improvement would be to mow a path to the pier from the back yard and remow the path from the front yard to the pier. There was poison ivy on the path that was on the side yard.

    Peaceful setting right on the lake. Property was as good as advertised. Very clean and all amenities worked well. Location was nice if you were looking for a quiet location which we were. Owner was easy to communicate with and responsive. Had a great weekend!

    Nice accommodations for our group of 7. Neighbor Bob super. Gave us more firewood and recommendations. Great sunset view. Place could use updating but clean. Coffee maker took forever to brew- maybe needs descaling?
