About this property

Sister Bay Door County Private Vacation Paradise

Wisconsin's premier vacation destination on the Door County peninsula welcomes guests to this outstanding dovetail log home. Conveniently located just outside the quaint village of Sister Bay, visitors enjoy a peaceful relaxed setting for their Door County vacation or weekend getaway. Whether communing with nature from the comfort of a hammock or exploring the many cultural and recreational activities Door County has to offer, this is the perfect place.

Newly constructed of native white cedar, this hand-hewn, dovetail jointed, log home combines plenty of windows and open space with an abundance of hand-crafted detail to create a warm, inviting setting. The house is tastefully decorated, the bathrooms well appointed, and the kitchen fully-equipped.

You can enjoy coffee watching the songbirds and catch a sunrise from the decks, picnic and siesta among the apple trees, enjoy wine and sunset dinner on the screen porch, and end the day with a campfire. This is all possible at Dovetail Acres, an unique Door County Retreat.

We invite you to enjoy the hospitality of Dovetail Acres and to discover the wonder of Door County from the comfort of our vacation log home.

Dovetail Acres... Door County's distinctive vacation destination.

Good location, nice private property

Dead bugs could have been vacuumed out of window sills. We had issues with hornets in one of the bedrooms and Terry promptly had someone come out and spray within 30 minutes. Linens were clean, beds comfortable, and wildlife friendly.

Family vacation

Property was as pictured…a cool log cabin. I picked this property for my husband. He loves log cabins and we were celebrating our 30 year wedding anniversary. Location is close to Ephriam and Sister Bay. All the amenities at the property were good.

Location, relaxation, and fun

This was the perfect place to relax and enjoy the natural surroundings. Just a few minutes away from downtown, beaches and fishing, it is the perfect location to stay. The house was complete with everything we needed, including a Weber grill on the deck and a fire pit in the yard. A true hidden gem in Sister Bay.
