Kelley’s Cove has been a cherished family home for many years, filled with wonderful memories. Conveniently located between the ferry and town, it offers beautiful water views, abundant wildlife, a grassy yard, and easy access to the water.

Located near the beginning of Fairbank Point, Kelley’s Cove faces southeast, providing beautiful views of the morning sunrise across the water. The home is located on a dug-in cove that provides well-protected water access with a dock.It is an ideal setting for boating, canoeing, kayaking, and casual fishing. The cove is about four feet deep with a soft mucky bottom.

The Kelley homestead was originally built in 1951 and has since undergone several additions and renovations. As was typical of homes built in the 50’s, it was common for bedrooms to be smaller and not have built in closets. There are 3 bedrooms with beds, nightstands, and an open wardrobe for clothes. There is one bathroom and a half bath setup in the laundry room. The living room has lovely front yard water view with door access to the front deck. The kitchen and pantry are equipped with the amenities you would expect for a comfortable stay. A laundry room with a washer and dryer is also provided. Towels and linens are included, as is Wi-Fi internet suitable for streaming.

The front deck includes a grill, table, and chairs - perfect for enjoying the view and outdoor meals. The dock offers one boat slip for guests, while the second slip is reserved for the caretaker’s boat. The front yard features a fire pit with log-style seating, and enough firewood for a campfire. Wildlife is abundant in the area. Guests often see two families of ducks raising their young in the cove, along with deer, sandhill cranes, and other wildlife in and around the lake. Please note that the private drive visible outside the kitchen window may occasionally be used by people who do not realize it is private.

    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.

    I cannot say enough about this home. I absolutely loved the layout of the house, the property, the amenities (every single thing you can think of, has already been thought about and is available should you need). Kerry (so sorry if I keep spelling this wrong) could not have been a better greeter/property manager/resource for island info. We were a little early for the season still so not as many fish as the boys would have liked but we'll be back for them to try again :). Kayaking (offered amenity), rock hunting, wildlife watching (periscope & binoculars on window sills, amazing idea!), exploring, quality time by a fire with the important people, getting lost and finding such beautiful places, it was hard to leave. The host is very easy to contact and very responsive. Literally not a negative thing to mention. I highly recommend booking and finding out for yourself.

    We had an amazing time at Kelley’s Cove!! It was clean and cozy and we felt right at home! The wildlife, kayaking and star-gazing with s’mores, added so much to our stay! Thank you to Jason and Kari for a wonderful experience!

    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.
