Door County Vacation Rental

About this space

Circa 1960's, The Däck Haus, once the cherished home of the Smith Family, now stands as a gateway to simpler times. This enchanting abode, nestled in the heart of Door County, invites you to leave behind the cacophony of modern life and immerse yourself in the gentle embrace of nature. Picture yourself on the expansive upper deck, a steaming mug of coffee in hand, as the morning sun casts its golden glow over tranquil Europe Lake. The Däck Haus, with its Scandinavian camp charm and thoughtful modern touches, promises an unforgettable retreat.

The space

As you step through the door, you're greeted by a cozy coffee bar, a nod to hospitality that whispers, "Welcome home." The first floor, with its inviting aroma of fresh coffee, leads you upstairs to an open-concept living room where large picture windows frame breathtaking views of the lake. The room, bathed in natural light, beckons you to sink into a comfortable sofa, perhaps to reminisce or simply gaze at the serene waters outside.

The well-equipped kitchen and dining area evoke memories of family dinners and shared stories. Here, every meal becomes a cherished event. The primary bedroom, with its plush king-size bed, offers a sanctuary of rest, while the lower level reveals a delightful surprise: a lakeside bedroom with three vintage twin beds from the Red Crown Lodge and a third bedroom with a queen-sized bed. Every corner of The Däck Haus exudes a sense of timeless comfort.

Guest access

The entire property is yours to explore. Stroll down to the water's edge where two docks extend a warm invitation to the lake's gentle embrace. Lounge chairs, kayaks, a rowboat, and paddleboards await your adventurous spirit. Evenings are best spent around the fire pit, sharing stories under a canopy of stars, the crackle of the fire punctuating the night's tranquility.

Other things to note

The Däck Haus is more than a place to stay; it's a portal to the past. Here, the days are slow and filled with the simple pleasures of life. Nestled on the quiet shores of Europe Lake, you can spend your days exploring nearby sand dunes, charming villages, and lush golf courses. Charter a boat for salmon fishing or embark on a sunset cruise along Green Bay.

As dusk falls, return to the warm glow of your lakeside haven. Float on a raft, cast a fishing line, or simply lose yourself in the beauty of the setting sun. Each season paints Door County with its own palette—autumn’s fiery foliage, summer’s vibrant warmth, winter’s serene snow, and spring’s blossoming promise.

The Däck Haus is perfect for family adventures or romantic getaways. It's a place where memories are woven into the fabric of time, where every moment is a treasure, and every stay is a story waiting to be told.
