North Bay Tranquility in Baileys Harbor, Dog Friendly

Welcome to North Bay Tranquility, where comfort meets nature in a serene and pet-friendly setting. This secluded and comfortable cottage backs up to a pristine nature conservancy, providing guests with a 3 bedroom, 1 bath retreat that comfortably sleeps up to 6 guests.

Enjoy a spacious outdoor patio where you can soak in the tranquility of your surroundings. Guests are welcome to use the boat ramp suitable for small watercraft at the end of the lane. North Bay’s water level varies according to season and the preceding month’s weather patterns. When levels are low we suggest walking kayaks or canoes to the water’s edge, then exploring along the North Bay - Mud Lake preserve and some of the last remaining undeveloped Lake Michigan shore line in Door County. North Bay is known to typically have calm water.

Take advantage of the provided adult bicycles (no helmets provided) and 2 sets of golf clubs (right-handed), including club carts for some fun outdoor adventures. We also offer onsite basketball and bocce ball for friendly competition. After a day of exploration and fun, enjoy the outdoor bonfire pit, or relax in the cozy living area with the Smart TV, DVD player, and access to popular streaming services.

We love our family 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, collected separately and approximately one week before your check-in date.

North Bay Tranquility is the perfect escape for those seeking a peaceful retreat yet within a short driving distance to the vibrant attractions of Door County. Book your stay with us and experience the best of both worlds – relaxation and adventure. We can't wait to welcome you!

***This property is located in a quiet community with neighbors and is geared towards quiet family vacations. Due to the proximity of neighbors, we cannot accommodate parties at the property including bachelor or bachelorette parties, reunions, or other rowdy gatherings.

Convenient to Door County Parks
It was a very comfortable house for us and our dog, and conveniently located to hiking areas and wineries. We suggest that you bring your own drinking water or take advantage of the counter top water filter they provided. If the neighbors to the right of the property are permanent residents, you will not be able to enjoy a quiet evening outside as their dogs barked constantly. Hopefully, this was a one-off. If not for that, we would consider staying here again. The property manager was extremely fast to respond to any inquiries we had.

Nice house in the woods but near the water with plenty of living space for the family. Was within a quick drive to many of the attractions for Door County.
