Summary:

Nestled on over 2 acres in the peaceful woods of Ellison Bay, WI, Folklore Woods is a newly built 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom pet-friendly retreat that celebrates both the beauty of Door County and a comfortable, accessible design. Located just a short drive from Sister Bay and within walking distance to Garrett Bay, where you can explore underwater shipwrecks and scenic shorelines, Folklore Woods is your perfect base for relaxation and adventure.



The Space:

Folklore Woods offers a beautifully designed, accessible space with 4 spacious bedrooms and 2 luxurious bathrooms. Enjoy restful nights in the main bedroom with a king bed, a second split-king bed (with adjustable settings and remotes for custom comfort), and two additional queen beds, providing sleeping arrangements to accommodate every need.



The open-concept living space is both inviting and functional, perfect for gathering after a day of adventure. Relax by the gas fireplace, spin some vintage vinyl, or watch your favorite shows on the smart TV. For those seeking a quiet workspace, a dedicated desk with Starlink Wi-Fi ensures you can stay connected if needed.



The fully appointed kitchen is ready for everything from quick snacks to gourmet meals. Enjoy a fresh cup of coffee from the coffee/drink bar, dine at the spacious table, or step outside to the patio for al fresco dining amidst the trees. The outdoor space features a fire pit, gas grill, and clover-covered side yard with outdoor games like bag toss and croquet.



Pet-Friendly Space:

Folklore Woods welcomes up to two well-trained dogs. For the comfort and safety of all guests, we ask that dogs are crated when left alone or accompany their owners during outings. A large crate is available in the closet under the stairs for your convenience, along with stainless steel dog bowls for feeding and water. We also provide old towels, dog wipes, and biodegradable poop bags to ensure your furry companions are cared for during their stay.

Guests have full access to Folklore Woods and its 2+ acre private wooded lot. The outdoor amenities, including the fire pit, hammock, and outdoor dining area, are all designed for relaxation and enjoyment.

    Renting Folklore Woods was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. It’s a place where families connect and stress melts away. I can’t remember the last time I felt so relaxed and rejuvenated. The cottage and property are absolutely beautiful—cozy, inviting, peaceful, and serene. We enjoyed lounging in the hammock, cozying up by the fireplace, and relaxing by the campfire while taking in the stunning fall colors. We knew the cottage itself would be stunning, but we didn’t realize how vibrant and colorful the entire property would be—it was truly magical. The cottage is tucked away in a private setting and had everything we could possibly need. Every detail was so thoughtfully planned, from the fully stocked essentials to the charming “Folklore Woods” inspired decor. My daughter was also ecstatic to discover the record player! We will absolutely be back. I can’t recommend this place enough!

    We had a fabulous stay here with friends a couple of weekends ago. The property is beautifully designed, spotless, and full of thoughtful touches—even doggy treats for our pup who joined last minute. The attention to detail made the stay feel truly special.If you’re looking for a spacious, stylish retreat in Door County with woods as your backyard and just a short drive to great restaurants and water activities, this is a perfect choice. Highly recommend!

    The home is very comfortable, well stocked and beautiful and we would definitely stay here again. There was a fair amount of dog hair which could have bee cleaned up better and I would recommend some softer pillows on the beds but miner things that could be improved upon.

    This property has it all! Especially for a family with children. Although I admit we weren’t at the house often because there is so much to do in door county, when we did have down time we were playing with games and toys at the house. Both inside and outback.

    We had an amazing time at Halvo Home in Ellison Bay! The space was very spacious with a nice flow to the floor plan. We loved the great kitchen and wet bar, which were perfect for both entertaining and family time. It truly served as an enjoyable family retreat where we spent quality moments watching movies, playing games, and even coloring at the large dining table. We also appreciated the convenient drive to Fish Creek for a fun girls’ afternoon painting pottery, and we enjoyed the walks and hiking in the wooded area. Our only wish was that it had been a bit warmer so we could have made even more use of the outdoor space for bonfires or lingering walks. Thank you for providing such a wonderful getaway!
