About this property

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

5BR Waterfront Retreat – Experience Door County’s Best Season, Fall!



Wake up to Green Bay right outside your window. Château Karl sits on the quiet shores of Little Sturgeon Bay, where mornings start with coffee on the deck and evenings end around the fire pit under a sky full of stars.

This is where family reunions turn into favorite memories, where kids kayak off the shore while the grownups linger over dinner, where fall’s crisp air and quiet beauty make Door County feel like your own private secret.

Sleeps up to 11 across 5 bedrooms on three floors — plenty of room for everyone, plenty of moments to share.

Come do life like Karl, our resident French Bulldog: fully, joyfully, and by the water.

Great place to stay. Very quiet, beautiful landscaping, amazing views & sunsets. We really enjoyed our stay. The kitchen was well stocked, so we were able to cook. Communication was great…very responsive. I loved the way the place was decorated with all the dog & lake-themed decor. We were very comfortable & grateful we could bring our 2 small dogs. Thank you again for a lovely stay!

The views at this rental are unbeatable. We enjoyed our coffee by the water in the morning, a sunset campfire, and unwinding in the hot tub at the end of the day. Hosts were very friendly and we can’t wait to book again!

Nice place, love the lake access and fire pit. Sunsets are great. Incredible number of may flies though (at least this time of year), so heads up if youre scared of (non-biting) bugs.

Relaxing family vacation

Our extended family had a wonderful stay at this property. All communications with the owners was great. The house was clean and roomy enough for our large group. Large deck and hot tub were great for relaxing. Peaceful, quiet and beautiful setting. Sunsets were gorgeous. Large dining room table was great for board game nights. We enjoyed our stay and hope to return in the future!

Property was well equipped with everything you could think of. Very comfortable! Views were amazing and in a very secluded and quiet area. Plenty of eagle and pelicans flying by which I loved. Close to all the attractions in upper door country. I honestly can’t say enough about the host and his management. Best I’ve ever worked with. Communication and check in was a plus. Thanks Cozzi family for a great memorable time at your place! Will definitely stay again.
