Starkhaus is the kind of place that feels quietly tucked into the woods, where mornings start slow and evenings stretch longer, yet the energy of downtown Sister Bay is just a short walk away. Surrounded by trees and set back from the road, this spacious retreat offers the rare combination of privacy and proximity. It is a home designed for gathering, unwinding, and making memories together, whether that means coffee on the deck, games downstairs, or a night around the fire under the stars.
