Lakefront Estate / Hot Tub! Large Groups

The Little Harbor is an 8,000 SF waterfront rental in Door County, accommodating up to 32 guests with 19 beds. It offers 8 hotel-style suites with ensuite bathrooms, two common living rooms and kitchens, a brand new 6 person hot tub, and 5 patios for socializing. Our "Adventure Shed" is stocked with kayaks, fishing gear, bikes, strollers, golf equipment, and games. The property features a concrete pier with breathtaking panoramic views reminiscent of Hawaii. Situated on a spacious 1-acre lot, it boasts waterfront access and private woods, making it ideal for families and dog-friendly.

Previously known as a popular bed and breakfast for nearly three decades, The Little Harbor underwent a transformation to cater to large groups as a waterfront rental. Whether it's a romantic getaway, family reunion, corporate retreat, or a trip with friends, this property offers ample indoor and outdoor spaces for socializing. Each guest in your group will have their own private hotel suite, complete with a bathroom, Roku TV, and sitting area. As one of the largest group rentals in Door County and the only one of its kind, The Little Harbor stands out. Its robust construction, featuring 3-inch wide solid oak commercial grade doors, ensures minimal sound transfer between rooms and living spaces.

For families with babies, three pack-n-plays are available in the closet of the game room on the 2nd floor.

Great property for family reunion
Perfect for multiple generations to gather. What a blessing to find one place that could accomodate our large family traveling from multiple states. We really enjoyed being able to dine together and share family time around the firepit. Memories were made. The home is well appointed and had everything we needed. A separate bathroom for each room is a bonus.

Large Family Vacation
We had 22 people from ages 8-88. Emily was informative and SO EASY TO WORK WITH. The place has so much room and everything went very well. The spaces were roomy and it’s great that every bedroom has a bathroom. The adventure cabin was full of things to do. The fishing poles and tackle were a bit in disarray from last group, but kayaks, bikes, games were all good. The hot tub was clean and very relaxing. The 2 laundry areas were amazing to have and well stocked. The kitchens were also well stocked and have new appliances, new furnishings and a ton of different coffees. It was located in a great spot so that we could visit all spots in Door County quickly and easily. I would HIGHLY recommend this place!!!!

Wonderful Winter Stay
Little Harbor is the perfect set up for a large group of family and/or friends. We rented for our family Christmas and had a wonderful time. Every bedroom has a view of the lake, it's own bathroom and locked door. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need. The seating areas are large and open. The game room is a nice bonus. We will definitely be renting again from this owner. Thank you for hosting us!

Fantastic Family Getaway!
This spot is fantastic for large groups of multiple families with kids. It’s got just the right amount of communal space with the two kitchens and living rooms, and the walls are nice and thick between the private rooms. No babies were woken up by our NYE celebration in the living room. They have everything—lovely outdoor spaces, a great view of the lake, and gear like dog beds, high chairs, and kids’ dishes and silverware to make it easy. 10/10 stars. Would recommend.

What a great place for a family get together. Plenty of space to escape & plenty of stuff to do. Only thing we found could use improving, softness of the mattresses, and the bed in room 5, seemed a little wobbly & i have motion sickness, so ended up on the couch. Well worth the stay.!

Perfect for family getaway
This place was perfect. In total there were 20 people in 8 families ranging from 0 to 70 years old. The individual bathrooms in each room made it feel like we had our own place but the group areas easily accommodated us all as well. The views are incredible. The beds are doubles but very comfortable. The bunk beds have a trundle bed so we all felt that the three missing families could have easily fit by sharing some space. The extra kitchen upstairs was really handy and I can’t say enough about the game room. Great selection of games including arcade games that the kids just loved! The kitchen was pretty well equipped with plenty of utensils and plates. The extras provided by the hosts go above and beyond what you’d normally find. Check in was incredibly easy and even better, the check out process didn’t require you to basically do all the cleaning while they’re charging you. We’re already planning our next trip.
