A Private Lakefront Retreat in the Heart of Door County
Wooded, quiet, and steps from the water — yet a short walk from Sister Bay's shops and restaurants.
Finding Your Way to the Lodge
The driveway is gravel and unmarked, so look for the wooden Cedar Hollow sign at the turn-off from N Bay Shore Dr. Turn onto the gravel driveway at the sign and park in the spot closest to the cabin; the lockbox is to the right of the front door. Note that the driveway can feel tight for larger SUVs — if needed, there's extra parking available at the top near the road.
