Dog-Friendly Door County Cottage | Wooded 3 Acres + Screen Porch + Fire pit

Welcome to Three Little Birds cottage, hosted by Simple Life Rentals! This darling cottage is tucked away on three beautiful wooded acres on Bay Shore Drive. Enjoy this property all year long! You can enjoy the wood-burning fireplace and close proximity to Sturgeon Bay in the winter, watch for the lady slippers and baby deer to appear in the spring, relax on the huge front porch or back deck during the summer, and enjoy being surrounded by seasonal colors in the fall.

This home has recently been updated and is set up to spend time together and/or separately. Go explore all of Door County's treasures during the day and return home to your own private retreat at night.

We love our family pet dogs and welcome yours too. Your well-behaved dogs are allowed with prior approval. This property allows up to 2 dogs. There is a fee of $50 per dog/per night, which is collected separately and approximately one week prior to your check-in date.

**This is a quiet community with residential neighbors. This home is geared towards quiet family vacations. Due to the proximity of neighbors, we cannot accommodate bachelor or bachelorette parties, reunions or other rowdy gatherings.

Our stay was wonderful! The home was very accommodating and roomy with our 2 dogs. It was very cozy with the fireplace which we used day and night. We were able to get wood for the fireplace easily. The location was centrally located between Sturgeon Bay and Egg Harbor. The property had everything needed for cooking in the kitchen with being able to walk the dogs out on the property and over to the bay.

Wonderful Door County Stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Three Little Birds. The cottage was absolutely beautiful. The amenities were fantastic even for our dog. We loved how tastefully decorated the cottage was, and how they left instructions/stickers on how to use everything. We felt at home, and we cannot wait to return to this cottage. Thank you!
