What to love about this cabin:

Looking for a place on the water in Northern Door? Porte Haven is the literal "tip of the thumb" of Wisconsin, and the previous owner called it the "top of the world" because you are RIGHT on the water and feel like you're on a boat, portholes, and all!

The cabin sits on a bluff with stairs down to the water where you can swim and take in the scenery. The house itself is an upscale cabin that was built on top of an old boathouse, which now has been converted into a fun hangout entertainment area with a pool table, darts, and more games. The boathouse is two stories high and feels almost like a loft with exposed ceilings, brick walls, and open concept.

Porte Haven sleeps a maximum of 8 people (6 adults + kids (children under 3 are FREE)) and includes a master bedroom with a king bed, a bunk room with 4 twin beds perfect for kids, a guest room with a queen bed, one more king bed in the boathouse basement.. You'll experience 3 spa-like bathrooms, including one with a sauna in the shower with an essential oil diffuser, another with a Kohler soaking tub, and an infinity sink that spills over the top and drains into the floor. Catch views of Washington Island from the third bathroom's one-sided porthole window—and don't worry, no one can see you from the other side!

The sunroom is the star of the whole house. It has a metal roof so rain sounds like pure magic, plus waterproof drapes that allow you to sit out there to watch a storm roll over the lake or a place to hangout outside, bug free!

The views at Porte Haven are beyond spectacular. You can see four islands, and the Washington Island Ferry goes by every hour—plus, the ferry is only a short walk away. Death's Door is famous in Door County for all the old, sunken ships, and Port Haven looks right at it.

The cabin feels very private, but there's also an energy and vastness to all that's happening on the water surrounding it.

The Point: Our first cabin on Clark Lake that started it all.
When the best Clark Lake property on its own peninsula became available, we knew we had to find a way to make it ours! We couldn't be prouder to be the owners of The Point and share this slice of heaven with you. Think of it as high-end cabin comfort, with more than 1,200 feet of lakefront land and plenty of room for larger groups. Sleeps up to 12.

The Bay: A modern-eclectic cabin with full views of Clark Lake.
Just 10 doors down from The Point, The Bay is warm and inviting, with cozy-chic interiors, a pellet stove and fire pit, shallow swimming for kids by the dock, and an amazing and spacious deck with a farm table and patio furniture to enjoy one of Door County's unbelievable sunsets. It has everything you could want for an unforgettable lake getaway. Sleeps up to 8, maximum of 6 adults.

Rowleys A-frame: Waterfront A-frame in Rowleys Bay
Relax by a fire on the beach, swim in the warm waters of Rowleys Bay, kayak the sandy shore, and wake to the sounds of seagulls and waves. This unique cabin is located on the shores of Lake Michigan in a wooded setting just a short drive to Sister Bay, Wisconsin. Truly the best of both worlds offering inland lake-like swimming, with ocean-like views.

We can't wait to host your next family getaway!

Lives in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin
We believe in collecting memories, not things - and aim to create spaces where you and your loved ones will want to return to for years to come. There’s no place on the planet I love more than Door County. I’m Caitlyn, wife to Jeremy and mama to two girls, Liliana and Addison. My extended family has been vacationing in Door County for more than 100 years, and I grew up making some of my all-time most-cherished memories here. It’s an absolute dream to now get to share this place with others... To help you to plan your vacations here, slow down for a little while, and experience time together that will be looked back on warmly for years to come. Door County is something special—it’s driving distance from Chicago and several Midwestern metropolises, but it’s remote enough to feel like an escape from the regular fast pace of life. You can cozy up by a fire in one of our cabins, spend your days on the water, or explore the specialty shops, unbelievable restaurants, outdoor activities, and delightful wineries Door County has to offer. There’s truly something for everyone in Door County. Ready to unplug from the rush? We can help. Your hosts, Jeremy and Caitlyn Door County Cabin Collective
