The Shorebird Story

After years of running a bed and breakfast here, I (Sara) wanted to create something a little more personal, and a little more peaceful...a getaway that felt like coming home. There’s absolute magic to this place — the water, the pines, the boats, the birds, the local shops, the music and food…it makes every day feel both restful and alive.

KATHRYN, FROM FLORIDA,JULY '25
TANGLEWOOD CABIN STAY

What a beautiful little gem of a cabin. It’s rustic and cozy.  When you’re there you feel like you’re in the middle of the woods with no one else around. If you’re looking for the ritz this is not it but if you love nature and the woods do not hesitate to book!

RAY, FROM ARIZONA, AUG '25
GULLWOOD LODGE STAY

The house was amazing! Exactly how the pictures look. My wife, mom, and in-laws had a fantastic trip in Sturgeon Bay and the house made things even more memorable. Would stay there again and recommend to anyone staying in the area. Sara was a fantastic host and we appreciated how well she took care of us. Can't say enough positive things about our experience!

JORGE, FROM INDIANA,SEPT '24 TANGLEWOOD CABIN STAY

Place was very nice, located in a great quiet area. You can see the stars at night and you’re super close from town. I highly recommend this place for your trip to beautiful Door County!
