About this property

Peaceful, Cozy, Clean, Fun Mid-Century Stay! Backyard Oasis Waterfall, Fireplace

Fish Creek Beginnings is a charming, peaceful, and updated mid-century modern home nestled in the woods. Although a more private location, it is located just minutes from the hustle and bustle of downtown Fish Creek. Activities, restaurants, a swimming beach, YMCA, and a marina are all nearby. You can even ride your bike the 1.5 miles to the heart of Fish Creek. The home is also centrally located to access the other major towns in Door County. Your private oasis is truly close to everything Door County has to offer!

Enjoy the nostalgic charm of this updated mid-century 2 bedroom home. The cottage is stocked with retro board games, croquet, bags, and bocce ball. Make smores around the outdoor Door County firepit, gaze at the stars, watch the birds, cozy in with the indoor gas fireplace, dance to the record player, and enjoy a meal in the fully stocked kitchen.

The interior open concept is very comfortable with a fully equipped kitchen; cook-top, oven, refrigerator/freezer, microwave, dishwasher and ample seating. A spacious living room with comfortable furniture, TV, satellite cable, DVD player, VCR along with tons of VHS classics, WIFI, stone gas fireplace, big windows, and an extra large view of the woods & waterfall.

There are two bedrooms; one with a king bed and large view of the backyard, and the other a peaceful queen sized bedroom. The master has blackout curtains and both bedrooms have sleep machines making for a good nights sleep. There is central air, an updated bathroom with a clean shower, and a washer & dryer.
Fish Creek Beginnings' backyard is a nature paradise with a gorgeous stone waterfall (5' drop.) The sound of the waterfall makes the backyard feel extra tranquil and peaceful. It's complete with a large outdoor patio, charcoal grill, built-in fire pit, outdoor string lights, large dining table, and fun chairs. You can also walk the private bridge, trails and woods.
Enjoy Mother Nature here. It's woods, water features, wildlife, a busy bird feeder, and stargazing. The home is nestled in 14 acres of forest containing cedar and maple, wetlands, and perennial landscape. Fish Creek’s seasonal creek begins on the property which is where the name comes from.



Fish Creek Beginnings is perfect for a Romantic Getaway or a Family Vacation. However, as much we love little kiddos, if they are extra active and you don't feel like watching their every move, this is not an ideal place to rent. There is too much within their reach indoors and out.

Check-in: 4:00 PM or later
Check-out: 11:00 AM or earlier
There is a $75.00 cleaning fee.
Sorry, No Pets or Exceptions.
There is ample parking for your vehicles, bikes and/or boat. The garage is for the owners.

Fish Creek Beginnings does not provide charcoal for the grill or firewood for the outdoor firepit. If any is left from previous guest you are welcome to use it.

If you want to relax in a retro happy home in a private and peaceful location, we welcome you to FISH CREEK BEGINNINGS! Where Fish Creek starts & memories never end.

Fall break with family in Fish Creek
We had a wonderful time stay at this charming, cozy cottage in the woods. Location is excellent, house is very clean and charming with its 50s decor and the back yard area is a true retreat. 5 stars!

An Outstanding Door County Getaway
My husband and I were very pleased with our accommodations in this secluded getaway. The home was very clean and tastefully decorated in mid-century decor; location was perfect, out of town, yet within close proximity to most any destination. It was well supplied with everything we needed, and has a beautiful back yard with fire pit and waterfall, in which we were able to kick back and relax one evening. Our days were packed with activities and it was great coming back to our "home away from home". A couple evenings were cool and we enjoyed relaxing in front of the indoor gas fireplace. The county highway that passes in front of the home is wide enough for biking or running into town. Our hosts, Mark and Riane were immediately responsive to us when we booked and with any questions. I definitely will recommend this home to friends and relatives and would book again in the future!

Private stay in the heart of Fish Creek
We loved this property! The mid century vibe was amazing. We played the records, watched VHS tapes, strolled the woods, sat by the waterfall, had a fire outside, read a book from the library, and just loved the peaceful, private place. But even with the privacy we were 5 minutes from places like Wild Tomato, Skyway Drive In, a BP, and so much more. We loved having this place to come back to amongst the Labor Day crowds. The hosts have put so much into this place to make you feel at home.

Fish Creek Beginnings - Quiet, Clean MidMod Retreat
Our family had a great time staying here. The accommodations were spacious, clean and tranquil. The road is a little busy for walkers/bikers with kids to get to town. Easily driveable to the heart of Fish Creek. We loved playing the classic board games, having camp fires and watching all the wildlife that came into the yard in the mornings. The waterfall was not working for the length of our stay which was a bummer. The hosts were responsive regarding the issue, and we felt they were invested in getting it fixed for us to enjoy. Overall, a really good place to stay, relax & enjoy all the Door County has to offer!
