Dorothy’s Dacha
A Green Bay Beach Rental
Dacha: a country house or cottage, typically used as a second or vacation home.
Experience Dorothy’s Dacha nestled on the bay between Lambeau Field and Sturgeon Bay, WI. Dorothy’s Dacha is a private vacation home on the Wisconsin shore of Green Bay and is made comfortable year-round by air conditioning and heating, and extra cozy in the winter by a wood-burning fireplace. You can enjoy the perfect beach for swimming, fishing, and sunbathing. During the day guests can watch the pelicans dip and drift over the gentle waves while the purple martins entertain you with their air aerobics. Your evenings will be colored with the glorious sunsets and the nights are lit by the twinkling stars.
The exterior of Dorothy’s Dacha is just as inviting as the interior, with a spacious open-air sun deck with outdoor lounge seating and a barbecue grill. Guests can also do their cooking on the private pointe around the bonfire pit if they so choose. The driveway provides off-street parking for up to three vehicles, with additional storage for bikes or water toys in the onsite shed.
Sleeping arrangements: Two private bedrooms at Dorothy’s Dacha accommodate up to seven guests between them, with a queen-sized bed in the “Yellow Room,” and two queen-sized beds in the “Blue Room” on the bay-facing side. See a Google Virtual Tour of the inside of the house here: Virtual Tour
Unique Features
Dorothy’s Dacha semi-rural location enables a fair amount of wildlife interaction for visitors – especially at dinner time! Deer routinely appear around the property as well as the occasional turkey or rafter of turkeys. And that’s not all you can see from the bay. Looking north, guests can enjoy the view as freighters traverse the channel heading into the port of Green Bay, and it is not uncommon to catch a fireworks display go up over the water.
Things To Do
Located at the northernmost end of Green Bay as you enter Door County, Dorothy’s Dacha is just 25 minutes from Lambeau Field — the celebrated home of the Green Bay Packers. We highly recommend planning a visit during a Packer Football Game Weekend! The cottage is also 25 minutes from downtown Sturgeon Pay, where visitors can shop, dine and explore in Egg Harbor, Sister Bay or Fish Creek, or tour Washington Island.
The home is within biking distance of Bay Shore County Park and a short 15-minute drive to Bay Beach Amusement Park. A bank, grocery store, library, and fitness center are easily accessible, while a number of other, more exciting attractions also find their home in the area. Guests can visit the live theater, the botanical gardens, the zoo, and various museums or tour one of several wineries.
The bay and rivers are ideal for fishing or paddling, while the open waters are used for windsurfing, water skiing, jet-skiing and even snorkeling. If you are visiting in early August, consider coordinating your dates with the Green Bay Tall Ships Festival — guests can watch the parade of ships right from the front yard of Dorothy’s Dacha.
