Curious about our cleaning fee? While ours might be slightly higher than others, we believe it's worth it for the quality experience we provide. Take a moment to read through and learn how it contributes to an exceptional stay!

★ MAIN STUDIO ★

Once you open the upper floor doors, you'll enter immediately into this studio's core - we've got our washer and dryer here in an enclosed space, then next is our fully stocked kitchen including a sink, stove, and oven, full-size refrigerator, coffee machine; all for use when inside. This place also includes dishes (including silverware) and cookware to make breakfast or dinner for yourself during your stay.

Walk right past the kitchen, there sits a spacious dining table by windows looking out over trees - perfect for eating while taking in nature! Past the dining area is our bright bedroom space configured with a large King bed. On the other side of this space, there you'll find the living area with a "full" size sleeper sofa & flat screen TV tucked away in one corner; what comes next? Well just beyond it all is our full-size bathroom just waiting for its next guest.

This unique and tranquil home in the heart of Door County is designed especially for couples, or perhaps a couple with 1-2 young children. With its unique design, this studio provides an open space living and dining area and a fully-equipped kitchen perfect for your intimate relaxation. It is a wonderful place to be alone and unwind, and yet a short distance to all that Northern Door County has to offer!

Please note that our vacation rental is located above a live bakery, which may result in some delicious aromas wafting into the space. While we hope that you enjoy the scent of fresh-baked goods, we also understand that it may not be for everyone. Therefore, we have taken measures to minimize any potential disruptions to your stay. We have provided an air purifier to help with any lingering bakery smells, as well as a white noise machine to mitigate any early morning noise. We hope that these amenities will ensure that you have a comfortable and enjoyable stay with us.

Enjoy a relaxing evening in our backyard with a cozy fire pit. It's perfect for roasting marshmallows, sharing stories, or simply unwinding under the stars. A great addition to your stay, offering a warm and inviting space to gather with family and friends.

☆☆CULTURED (Sourdough Bakery)☆☆

Indulge in specialty sourdough bakery, where mouthwatering bagels, bread, and a delightful selection of fermented goodies like sauerkraut and kimchi are crafted. Visit their newly opened storefront every Friday to Sunday for a delicious experience (Please check their Social Media Pages for updated hours). Enjoy tempting bagel sandwiches, paired with aromatic drip coffee, while relaxing in our inviting outdoor seating area.

DAMAGE WAIVER
While you're on vacation, rest easy knowing that you are protected under Safely if any accidents or damage occur. We will take care of the cost of this coverage, which is additional to any protection provided by the platform. If any damage happens, please let me know and I will make a claim with Safely.

To qualify for coverage, you must report any incidents to us before checking out. Please note that this waiver does not negate your responsibilities as a renter for items beyond Safely's scope of responsibility.

CANCELLATION POLICY
We understand that plans can change unexpectedly, which is why we have a flexible cancellation policy that puts your mind at ease. If you decide to cancel your booking more than 14 days before your scheduled arrival date, you will receive a 97% refund of the total booking amount.

However, if you cancel your booking within 14 days of your scheduled arrival date, we regret that we will not be able to offer any refund. Nevertheless, we will do our best to accommodate any change requests that you may have, subject to availability and applicable fees.

CLEANING FEE
We believe in transparency and want to clarify the purpose of our cleaning fee. It's not just an added cost—it ensures that our dedicated cleaning team is fairly compensated with living wages, allowing them to thrive and continue providing top-notch service. This directly contributes to the cleanliness and quality of your stay.

The cleaning fee also covers a unique damage protection policy, offering added peace of mind during your visit. Rest assured, this fee is not for profit, but rather supports our cleaners and helps maintain a seamless experience for you.

Wonderful place to stay when visiting Door County
The listing was exactly as listed. If we wanted we had everything needed to cook our meals in the small but fully furnished kitchen, plus a washer and dryer if needed. It was spacious, updated and had the most comfortable mattress I have ever slept on. It is only minutes away from town . On the ground level is a bakery that has the most amazing bagels I have ever had, including those in NYC. The host was very prompt in responding to any questions we had. Definitely will stay here next time we return to Door County. Can't go wrong with this rental.

Great place!
We stayed just one night but the location was very close to Sister Bay which we love. Very clean and communication with the host was fast and easy. It is above a bakery and you can smell the aromas in the early morning but it was not bad. It smelled quite good and we did decide to wait to leave until the bakery opened so we could give it a try. Wow - so delicious!! Highly recommend. Also you can’t go to Door County without trying Cultured. Yum!

Cute, Cozy, Convenient!
What a wonderful gem! The location is wonderful - quick drive to Sister Bay, quick drive to Ephraim. You truly have everything you need in this studio. Cute little kitchen, nice little living room space, quaint little dining room area, comfortable king size bed (the pillows were like marshmallows - so cozy!), and a generous sized bathroom/shower. This is a good sized studio - our family of four + our pup had plenty of space to stretch our legs. It's really a great spot! They put a lot of thought into creating this space - it's nicely furnished, well-kept, and clean. The host, Tom, is wonderful and very responsive! He truly wants you to be comfortable and enjoy your stay.

What a gem!!!!
We had a wonderful stay in the Bird's Nest studio!! From the start, communication with Tom was a breeze. He was responsive, helpful, and made sure we settled in well on arrival and everything was going smoothly during our vacation. The studio is lovely, very spacious with plenty of room for 4 of us. The location is ideal for getting just about everywhere in northern Door County. We were only minutes to Ephraim, Sister Bay and Fish Creek, but also explored Ellison Bay and Egg Harbor easily. We stayed over a weekend so the bakery below was open and wow, what a delightful and absolutely delicious spot. Best bagels in the world, so if it's open, make sure you stop in for breakfast or lunch. I've been coming to Door County since I was a child and this gem was a wonderful find. We'd definitely stay again! Thank you for your warm welcome and sharing your beautiful home with us!

Perfect stay near Sisters Bay with amazing Bakery!
This was a perfect property for our trip to Door County! Great location that put us 3 minutes from downtown S. Bay & Ephraim, but the location put us close to Bailys Harbor & Fish Creek in 10 minutes. The Bakery below in open 3 days per week and has amazing food and scents. The bagel sammie is a perfect way to start your day! The property was very clean, and the perfect size for us. We did not need anything during our stay, but the owner reached out & was available if needed. Highly Recommend! Thanks for a great stay!

Feels brand new
This is a really well done space. Nicely laid out, clean, feels new. There is a tall flight of stairs to access in the back of the building which is a bakery. The signage is not visible at night, but the smells are amazing in the morning! Some lights to help show the way to the back would be nice since it was a bit confusing arriving in the dark. Otherwise, this is a really comfortable, lovely place to stay with an accommodating and communicative host. I would come back for sure.

Nice and quiet and clean! The studio felt very spacious and the windows allowed in a lot of natural light. We loved that we could bring our pup along with us for the first time. The location is perfect… very close to many Door County attractions. The instructions for check in and check out were very easy to follow. We only wished the bakery was open for a delicious breakfast!

Vacation with dog
We enjoyed our stay at the Birds Nest. We were there on a Sunday night so not sure what it would be like with noise or traffic when the bakery is open. The place was clean and the kitchen had the basics for making dinner. It was nice to be able to bring our dog along. The only negative would be the noise from the highway next to the building.
