Folklore Woods-Modern, Accessible, and Wooded Ellison Bay Retreat with Fireplace, BBQ and More!

Nestled on over 2 acres in the peaceful woods of Ellison Bay, WI, Folklore Woods is a newly built 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom pet-friendly retreat that celebrates both the beauty of Door County and a comfortable, accessible design. Located just a short drive from Sister Bay and within walking distance to Garrett Bay, where you can explore underwater shipwrecks and scenic shorelines, Folklore Woods is your perfect base for relaxation and adventure.



We pride ourselves on creating a streamlined experience whenever and wherever possible. You'll check in with a key pad deadbolt, receive all of your check-in instructions digitally, and browse a list of our favorite spots in Door County from our digital guidebook. If you need us, we're always a short phone call or text away.

Set in the heart of Door County, Folklore Woods combines wooded privacy with proximity to local attractions. Enjoy nearby Newport State Park’s hiking trails, the unique shipwrecks of Garrett Bay, and the restaurants and shops of Sister Bay just a short drive away.

Guests have full access to Folklore Woods and its 2+ acre private wooded lot. The outdoor amenities, including the fire pit, hammock, and outdoor dining area, are all designed for relaxation and enjoyment.



Folklore Woods offers a beautifully designed, accessible space with 4 spacious bedrooms and 2 luxurious bathrooms. Enjoy restful nights in the main bedroom with a king bed, a second split-king bed (with adjustable settings and remotes for custom comfort), and two additional queen beds, providing sleeping arrangements to accommodate every need.

The open-concept living space is both inviting and functional, perfect for gathering after a day of adventure. Relax by the gas fireplace, spin some vintage vinyl, or watch your favorite shows on the smart TV. For those seeking a quiet workspace, a dedicated desk with Starlink Wi-Fi ensures you can stay connected if needed.

The fully appointed kitchen is ready for everything from quick snacks to gourmet meals. Enjoy a fresh cup of coffee from the coffee/drink bar, dine at the spacious table, or step outside to the patio for al fresco dining amidst the trees. The outdoor space features a fire pit, gas grill, and clover-covered side yard with outdoor games like bag toss and croquet.

Pet-Friendly Space:
Folklore Woods welcomes up to two well-trained dogs. For the comfort and safety of all guests, we ask that dogs are crated when left alone or accompany their owners during outings. A large crate is available in the closet under the stairs for your convenience, along with stainless steel dog bowls for feeding and water. We also provide old towels, dog wipes, and biodegradable poop bags to ensure your furry companions are cared for during their stay.

Reliable Starlink Wi-Fi is available throughout the home, ensuring you can stay connected in this secluded, natural setting. Folklore Woods is accessibility-friendly, with thoughtful touches to ensure guests of all abilities can feel comfortable and welcome.

We had a fabulous stay here with friends a couple of weekends ago. The property is beautifully designed, spotless, and full of thoughtful touches—even doggy treats for our pup who joined last minute. The attention to detail made the stay feel truly special.If you’re looking for a spacious, stylish retreat in Door County with woods as your backyard and just a short drive to great restaurants and water activities, this is a perfect choice. Highly recommend!

Perfect DC stay!

This property has it all! Especially for a family with children. Although I admit we weren’t at the house often because there is so much to do in door county, when we did have down time we were playing with games and toys at the house. Both inside and outback.
