Lighthouse Retreat

Welcome to the Lighthouse Retreat, located in historic and quaint Algoma, the doorway to Door County. It features one of the most magnificent views of Lake Michigan and the historic Algoma Lighthouse. Enjoy the views while relaxing on the patio in the rear of the property. You’ll find spacious and comfortable sleeping for 10 people with an additional two rollaway beds, that would accommodate 12 people. This newly constructed house includes four bedrooms, two bathrooms, plus a comfortable living and dining room with a gas-burning fireplace adjoining the kitchen in an open concept design. There are large flat screen TVs in every room. This is a newly constructed house, so everything in it is brand new. There is a washer and dryer available for your convenience, nestled in the laundry room. You will enjoy direct proximity to Lake Michigan, and the picturesque views of the lighthouse and all of the boats traveling in the harbor. When the Great Lakes cruise ship stops in Algoma twice a month, it parks directly in front of the house. The house is located adjacent to the marina which is about a five-minute walk to all the classic Door County shops, dining, and recreation. You will also want to visit the beautiful beachside marina and beach. You’ll delight in the discovery of the wineries and breweries, and the variety of dining options in Algoma. There’s a delicious bakery that is a two-minute walk from the house. Partake of the spacious patio, which is covered for your comfort, and can also be opened to the welcoming breezes and breathtaking view. Relax and enjoy the fire pit nestled alongside with an outdoor kitchen under a canopy top with a gas barbeque grill, as well as a flat top grill and stainless-steel sink for clean-ups and food preparation. Bluetooth speakers are installed in the house and on the patio that will pair with your phone or electronic devices. Relax on the cozy sectional furniture on the patio underneath the canopy with a spacious outdoor dining table. There are curtains to enclose yourselves in the canopy. There is also mosquito netting, to keep the bugs out! If you’re lucky, with the right timing, you will experience seeing the giant bald eagle that flies nearby and inhabits the tree on the north end of the property while it scouts the lake for fish. It is 30 min from Lambeau Field. Perfect for a fall weekend of Harvest Time and the Beautiful Colors of Door County. Now is the perfect time for your stay at the Lighthouse Retreat. It is sure to prove to be an exciting, relaxing, and very memorable time.

Algoma is a charming place
The Lighthouse Retreat is a beautiful place to stay with wonderful scenic views. It is a great place to stay near Door County without the crowds of people. During our stay we took the opportunity to walk to the bakery and ate at 2 local restaurants. The food was wonderful. The house is very inviting with many comfortable accommodations inside and outside. The beds, couch, chairs, and outdoor furnishings were very comfortable. The host put a lot of thought in creating a great place to stay.

Building Memories That Last a Lifetime!
My wife, son and our dog made had a lovely time at the Lighthouse retreat! The house was perfect for us and the views were something out of a magazine! The host was very responsive and made sure we had everything we needed to make the trip a success! If you are looking for a quiet getaway with small town charm, you will not find anything bettter! I have not had so many hugs and "I love you dad's" from my son in that short of a timeframe. Our only regret is that we didn't stay longer.

Great Place!
We had 8 adults stay at this property for my sister's bachelorette party. There was ample room to sleep 8 adults and the view and property were spectacular. We had plenty of space for meals and games. There was an issue with the refrigerator, through no fault of the owners, but he still did everything in his power to make it right. He responded and fixed the problem quickly. We had an amazing time and would definitely stay again!

Beautiful Beach Getaway
Walking in to the home, you are greeted with the most beautiful, breathtaking view of the water. I literally said "WOW!" Our host added such thoughtful touches, including an array of local treats! Everything was available and at the ready. There is a coffee bar stocked with a coffee pot and Keurig combo. It had all the fixings such as coffee, filters, k-cups, sugar, teas, etc. There is a full size washer dryer with soap ready to use, if needed. We enjoyed a cookout and a fire with plenty of room on the patio for everyone. The home had plenty of room for our party of 9 to spread out without feeling stacked on top of each other! The home is located within walking distance of several restaurants, bars and shops. The backyard view is literally like the photos. We enjoyed the cute red lighthouse view greeting us each day. The spacious yard ends on a cliff, which allows for privacy and that gorgeous view! Access to the public beach is less than a 10 min walk and maybe a 3 min drive. We did both and our walks at sunset were just beautiful! I am not from Wisconsin, so I had never heard of Algoma, as we typically stay in Door County. It was like a private Door County. We could eat, shop, and enjoy the beach without feeling crowded. As someone who prefers quiet over crowds, I am excited to plan my next stay in Algoma and I will absolutely be back to enjoy this beautiful home with it's beautiful view and thoughtful host!

Great Weekend Getaway
We had a great time staying at this property as a launching pad for visiting Algoma and Door County. Communication and instructions from Tim (owner of the property) was very good. On arrival we were surprised with a gift of wine and snacks from the area. The house was very clean and well stocked. The patio area was a great spot for looking over the marina and Lake Michigan. Plenty of birds to watch including eagles. Very peaceful and relaxing.

Relaxing Retreat Overlooking Breathtaking Lake Michigan, Lighthouse & Marina!
On the banks of Lake Michigan - this is the perfect spot to relax after a day of sight seeing in beautiful Door County! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this brand new home in cute Algoma, WI! We loved sitting in the screened in patio listening to the soothing sounds of Lake Michigan and watching all the boats go in and out of the Mariana! The house is a quick walk to a super fun restaurant (Smashed on the Rocks) that we thoroughly enjoyed as well as a cute little bakery bakery and a beautiful beach! The owner, Tim, was always quick to respond and eager to make sure all of our needs were met! The beds were comfy, the house was fully equipped with everything we needed for our stay and the check in and checkout process was a breeze!! I would highly recommend this home for family and friends to enjoy!! Definite bonus that we could bring our dog - she highly approved of the location too!! Don’t hesitate to book - you won’t be disappointed!
