Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin
We purchased this home on beautiful Glidden Drive just over 10 years ago. Our family has ties to this area going back generations. Glidden Drive is a secluded scenic road 10 miles east of downtown Sturgeon Bay on Lake Michigan. Our home sits up on a small bluff overlooking rolling sand dunes with 180 feet of sandy beach shore front. It's nestled among pine and birch trees. The closest neighbors are 2 lots away in either direction. There are unobstructed expansive views of Lake Michigan making it feel as if you are the only house on the beach. The sunrises here are stunning and different each day. In the autumn and winter, you can even see the changing colors during sunset despite the home's east facing direction.
It is our vacation home as well. It's fully stocked with linens, towels, some toiletries, pots&pans, silverware, serving ware, baking ware, a crockpot, a french press, glasses, mugs, plates, bowls, spices, cutting boards, tea kettle, place mats, etc.
There are 2 queen bed bedrooms, 1 full bath, 2 half baths, and a bonus room with 2 sets of twin beds. The kitchen has a refrigerator, stove, oven, toaster oven, microwave and a coffee maker. Two dining areas will seat 14. There are two cozy couches in the 2 family rooms, one couch pulls out to a queen bed on the lower level. There is a washer and dryer. There are wood burning fireplaces in the upper and lower family rooms.
There are endless things to do in the area. Across the road, there are Nature Conservancy hiking trails. Just north about 10 miles is Cave Point County Park and Whitefish Dunes State Park. Just southwest about 10 miles is downtown Sturgeon Bay with shopping, a farmers market, restaurants, bars, YMCA, Door County Maritime Museum and much more. A boat launch is located 1.5 miles south on Glidden Drive.
Jill was an incredible host for this beautiful home and setting. It was everything we could have asked for and more! The listing was 100% accurate and her helpfulness was above and beyond anything we could have asked for. 5 stars isn’t enough!!!!!!
The property was amazing. The lake was incredible. Perfect for our grandson. We loved it!
Everything was great. Lots of sand, sky and sun.
We wanted to get away for a quiet couple's weekend and this place was perfect for us! We spent hours walking along the beach and cuddling on the couch and watching the lake through the big windows. The sunrises were amazing! It was too cold to make a fire outside so we enjoyed the indoor fireplace. This property was perfect for our needs: quiet, clean, with beautiful nature views and easy access to the beach and other hiking trails. The house was very well stocked with everything we needed, it was clear that someone had put a lot of thought into what travelers might need during their stay and we felt well taken care of. We would definitely stay here again for another long weekend get-away!
This place is great, and really felt like a home away from home. We have two kids, and we were able to travel a lot lighter because Jill and Ryan stock this house with everything we needed and wanted for our kids. It made everything so much easier, and we really appreciated that the house was so well stocked. It made our family time so much better because we were all so comfortable. And the lake views were incredible! We were able to appreciate the lake even when the weather was a little dreary. I would definitely like to go back.
Had a great stay!! Private, comfortable with a wonderful beach. Would love to stay again!!
What a beautiful location! We loved staying along the dunes on a nearly private beach. We even saw a pair of fox hanging out by their den! The water was still a bit too cold to swim, but wading in on the soft sand was wonderful. We loved searching for beautiful, smooth stones and use of the kayaks was so appreciated. Having campfires while hearing the waves roll is the best! Jill and Ryan's home was well stocked with everything we needed and there was tons of space to spread out. The beds were comfortable and the sleeping spaces numerous. We cooked most of our meals and found everything we needed. We made a quick trip to nearby Sturgeon Bay for a grocery run, the farmer's market, an awesome game store, candy store and pizza at Sonny's. We also took a short drive north to explore Whitefish Dunes and Cave Point Park, and stopped at Pelican Cove Tiki Bar and Ice Cream Shack for treats for all. But we spent most of our time just enjoying this fabulous property. The home was clean and comfortable. Jill was quick to respond to messages and it was clear that much care has gone into this lovely home. We hope to return again!
We loved this house and our stay. It had everything we could have needed, tons of towels, kitchen had everything we needed and it was spotless when we arrived. The beach next to the deck was great for the kids. We loved our stay and we definitely plan to stay there again!
Our daughters loved playing out in the sand and my wife and I really enjoyed taking a nice afternoon kayak ride just steps from the back door. The house is so cozy and fully stocked for both adults and kiddos of all ages. Enjoying the waves at night, and having a nightly fire were some of our highlights from the week.
Excellent weekend getaway - the house was perfect for our family. Loved walking the beach, relaxing on the patio, and looking out to Lake Michigan through the large windows. We can't wait to go back.
