Kelley’s Cove has been a great family home for many years with lots of wonderful memories. It is conveniently located between the ferry and town. It has a great view, lots of wildlife, grass yard, and water access.

Kelley’s Cove is located towards the start of Fairbank Point, where the water starts on the southeast side (sunrises). Beautiful morning sunrises are across the water and to the left some. Kelley’s Cove is a dug-in bay which provides well protected water access and dockage. This is a great area for boating, canoeing, kayaking, and decent fishing. It is about 2.7 miles from the ferry dock and about 5.5 miles from town.

The Kelley homestead was originally built in 1951 and has had many additions and renovations. Being built in the 50’s, it was common for bedrooms to be smaller and without closets. There are 3 bedrooms with queen beds and an open wardrobe for clothes. There is one bathroom and a half bath setup in the laundry room. The living room has a great water view and door access to the front deck. The kitchen has an electric stove, refrigerator/freezer, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, cooking utensils, dishes, and pantry items (everything). There is a laundry room with a washer and dryer. Towels and linens are provided. Internet WiFi is provided and is good enough for streaming Youtube or Netflix.

Outside is a front deck with grill, table, and chairs. Out front is a dock providing a boat slip for you, while the other is for the caretaker’s boat. Often there is a swim raft in the bay. In the front yard, is a fire pit with log style seating and enough firewood provided for a campfire. There is a lot of wildlife in this area. Often two families of ducks are being raised in the cove, with plenty of deer, sandhill cranes, and other wildlife in the lake or passing thru. The bay itself is about 6 ft deep and the bottom is not rocky or sandy, but muck(a squishy soft bottom). On the front right side of the yard, is a rarely used right of access to the water for some family members. On the satellite view, you will see outside the kitchen window is a private drive, which gets occasional use by people not knowing it is a private drive.

    We enjoyed our trip because the house had everything we needed. No need to run to the store for little things they had so many extras at the house for us.

    Had everything you could imagine in the kitchen and pantry. Extremely clean and better than described. Bed was very comfortable, television reception was great wi-fi was excellent. So, they even furnished kindling and the wood for the firepit and a gas grill with a full tank of propane. Excellent location and close to the ferry. The host Kari was w=very friendly and made us feel right at home. When we left we washed and dried the bed linens and remade the bed. Up to 5 deer at a time in the cove, sand hill cranes and even had loons. Extra dock where a friend was able to pick us up by boat for a 3 hour cruise and drop us back off. Highly recommend and will defentely go back.

    It's a very quiet place to stay. Very well stocked in case you forgot something. Kari was super nice and welcoming. Paddle board and kayak were there to use for free. Will stay again if we decide to go up that way again. Thank you so much Kari!!

    The property is perfect. We were looking for affordability and more than one bathroom, not hi-falutin accommodations. So we were thrilled to find this comfortable family cottage on a small cove of Sturgeon Bay a couple of miles from the ferry. The home (it feels like a home) was clean, nicely furnished and well supplied with amenities. Incredible views and wildlife sighting, and a reasonable distance to trailer the side by side for a day of riding. Kari was an awesome hostess — available as needed, rich with information, and very helpful. Definitely recommend.

    Beautiful and relaxing place on the bay. We loved our stay there. Lots of wildlife to keep you entertained. Deer are very tame, could even hand feed one of the does. House is in great condition, comfortable beds and everything we needed.

    Enjoyed our stay. Many deer and birds on the property. Fully stocked kitchen and pantry. Helpful property manager. Only downfall was close neighbors and unable to swim in the lake due to weeds.

    First time on the island and it was a blast. We fished and explored all the off road trails. The home was perfect for the evening bonfires.

    This is the best run house I have ever stayed at with vrbo. Everything was well stocked and easy communication with owners. When we ran out gas for the grill they replaced it in 5 minutes or less. I would stay here again without hesitation.
