shoreline is across Bay Shore Dr. There is seating throughout the front of the yard and a gorgeous in ground fire pit. Guests bring their own firewood but are welcome to any leftover firewood that may be there. The 2 master bedrooms and living space all have double sliders that lead out to porch areas (facing the lake) The large patio has an eating area and grill. The shoreline consists of massive, flat limestone slabs and these limestone ledges extend into the water for appx 40 feet, making it a hot spot for a variety of water birds - the pelicans are one of our favorites! It's quite amazing to watch!

Other things to note

We are so proud to have our home ready for you to enjoy! But please keep in mind that this is brand new construction and some things are still developing. Specifically the lawn/grass area is still establishing itself and filling in. We ask that you please respect the sensitivity of this situation and stay off the areas that are still bare or underdeveloped. (Trust me, your shoes won't appreciate it!) Same thing with the roof - as it is an earth covered home, it will take time for grass to blanket the entire structure and with that said, it will take time for us to figure out the balance between grass vs weeds! We were just happy to have green...(and weeds are green LOL). We're working towards reseeding the patchy areas that fell victim to runoff and will eventually incorporate beautiful flowers and ground cover to finish the look off.
Hopefully you understand that it's a work in progress! PLEASE NOTE: The house is in a secluded and remote area, surrounded by trees and water (Door County is. Peninsula after all 😊). In this setting there will be all things related to nature, like wildlife, potentially poisonous plants, and insects (including spiders)
**We recommend that anyone with insect/spider sensitivities or phobias consider a more urban setting where nature does not so easily encroach. Rest assured, we meticulously clean the entire house and remove any unwanted ‘visitors’ prior to guests arrival - but we leave the delicate ecosystem surrounding our house to regulate itself.**
