About this property

The Quilted Log, a cozy, compact cabin In the woods, very clean, perfect for 4-6

Experience Door County country living in The Quilted Log, a remodeled and modernized 1,050 sq. ft. log home/cabin located at 6102 Cty Rd T, Sturgeon Bay 54235 (actually West Jacksonport).

This cabin is cleaned using CDC guidelines and extra cleaning protocols to ensure you a worry-free stay, ready for relaxation and enjoyment. The open-concept house features walnut-stained logs complimented by white kitchen cabinetry and soft LED lighting. The one-story structure is updated with new vinyl tile flooring and carpet throughout. The bathroom is bright with a walk-in, full-size seated shower and a generous single sink vanity. A laundry closet located across from the bathroom offers a washer and dryer for visitors' use.

This home, lovingly titled “The Quilted Log”, is decorated with several handmade scrappy quilts which the owner and her sister designed and sewed, hoping you enjoy the personal touch.

The Quilted Log comfortably accommodates 4-6 people . There are two bedrooms each with a queen-size bed, and the living room with a new, full-size, pull-out love seat to sleep 2 more. The dining and living rooms each have ample seating for 6.

The cabin features an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living room. The kitchen is fully equipped with a 12-cup coffeemaker, toaster, refrigerator/freezer, microwave and electric range, but no dishwasher (requiring one to go back to the good old days!) The dining room features a unique castle-looking chandelier above the table. Windows allow for viewing all sides of the yard. The living room stone fireplace features a glowing ambience from its electric log insert. Two comfy rocker/recliners, an old-fashioned wooden rocker, a cushioned pull-out love seat, and a unique quilted arm chair allow one to enjoy the feel of "sitting by the fire."

The Smart TV offers local networks, Wisconsin Public Television, the Create channel, and several old movie channels. The TV accepts your Netflix, Roku accounts, etc. for further choices. Otherwise, station choices are limited by whatever the antenna can receive. For your convenience, the cabin has wireless Mi-Fi connection to the internet, although with a slow speed.

The Quilted Log is not air conditioned, but the full-thickness logs act as great insulators against hot and humid conditions. The 7-1/2" log thickness also allows for cozy warmth amidst winter cold.

The backyard patio features a gas grill and comfortable seating with an umbrella table for 4-6. A small front patio features comfortable seating where you can enjoy a morning cup of joe.

The quiet country property is nestled amongst cedar, maple and pine trees which are especially colorful in the Fall and pristine in the winter snows. Deer and turkeys frequent the woods and forage on available vegetation. Corn and grain fields stretch beyond the property, giving one a feel of relaxing in country living.

If biking is your passion, Cty Rd T is popular with bicyclists, well paved with easy access to other country roads. Safe bike storage is guaranteed in the property's garage. If snowmobiling is more to your liking, there is an ample driveway area for parking snowmobile trailers. The county's trails begin about a mile from the cabin.

The long driveway boasts a roomy back-up area for easy maneuverability and ample room to store boats in the summer. Dock access for the Bay is found at The Quarry on Highway B or The Village Dock in Egg Harbor. Lake Michigan access is available at nearby Whitefish Bay or Baileys Harbor.

Plan a summer vacation for your small family, a friend get-away to enjoy the Fall colors, or make holiday plans in the quiet country. Being 12 miles from Sturgeon Bay allows one to shop for groceries at Econo Foods, Pick 'n Save, or Wal-Mart, enjoy a meal at local restaurants, and browse many unique downtown stores. Wal-Mart, Target, and TJ Max are available for everyday needs.

Picture yourself sledding on the hills, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, or just walking paths in winter’s snow. Potawatomi State Park, Peninsula State Park, and the Whitefish Dunes State Park are only miles away to enjoy Mother Nature at her finest. Warm yourselves at The Quilted Log by wrapping in quilted throws, drinking a cup of steaming coffee or hot chocolate, and playing cards or board games for a fun, close-knit time together.

As you plan a visit to beautiful Door County, select this unique, peaceful, clean country home which will have you saying “Here we can just sit back and relax!” Make your rental choice The Quilted Log.

Check in is after 4:00 p.m. and check out is by 10:00 a.m. Contact owner Fran Richter if you need special consideration on these posted times.

Door County Getawat

The Quilted Log Cabin is the perfect place to stay when you want to enjoy all that Door County has to offer and have a welcoming home to go to at the end of the day. So peaceful, quiet and cozy, we actually set aside time each day to just hang out in the cabin because we enjoyed it so much. It is beautifully decorated and maintained with all of the comforts of home and then some. Don’t miss this hidden gem!

Great cabin experience

Clean, comfortable and well designed cabin. Plenty of room for 4-6 people. Nicely stocked kitchen and everything you need to prepare meals. Very quiet as well. A bit of a drive, about 10-15 minutes into Egg Harbor- but overall give the Quilted Log a big thumbs up. Would easily recommend to others.

This is our second time staying at this property. It was just as good as the first time. Cabin is very clean and perfectly sized for our family of five. The beds are comfortable and it’s close to everything in Door County. Al and Fran are great hosts and do a fantastic job of communicating.

Awesome Door County Cabin

Such a quiet beautiful cabin close to many activities! Warm and spacious with very comfortable rooms and thoughtful upgrades. Stayed two nights with some friends and while dodging rain most of the weekend, a cozy fire and comfy chairs when we returned each day made for some great conversations and laughs. The bathroom and kitchen were clean and fully stocked with anything we could need! Close to great kayaking opportunities, a short drive to art galleries, wineries and shopping. Fun trip and this cabin made it all possible!

About the host

Hosted by Fran Richter

Host profile image
Owner, Al Birnschein, has lived in West Jacksonport all of his 81 years, growing up on the "Iron Ore Farm" located around the corner from The Quilted Log. Currently his brother owns the homestead farm and all the fields surrounding the cabin. When Al desired a house of his own in the 60s, Al purchased a parcel of the farm from his father, built his ranch-style house, and settled in with his wife and children. In 1978, a couple from Chicago bought the lot across from Al's, constructed a compact log home, and moved in. Al's dream of someday annexing that property to his was squashed. But good things come to those who wait! His dream became reality after the owners and then their son passed away, leaving the property to friends living in Illinois. No one was nearby to care for the property. When the Illinois friends realized the miles were against them caring for the cabin, they decided to offer it for sale. Al made an offer which they accepted, and his dream of ownership became reality. Living directly across from the cabin was perfect for keeping his eye on the property, spending countless hours remodeling and updating, and caretaking the cabin's needs.
Co-owner, Fran Richter, age 71, married Al in 2011 and relocated from bustling Ephraim to quiet Jacksonport where Al was town chairman. Fran knew nothing about Jacksonport living, growing up in Mosinee, Wisconsin, later living in DePere and Green Bay, then moving to Ephraim in 1994 with her first husband and family. She met Al after both had lost their respective spouses. Fran worked from her Ephraim house as a medical transcriptionist, but lost her job due to Epic technology. Fran offered her house and cottage as VRBO rentals, but sold her property in May 2021. She loves to quilt, and decorating The Quilted Log with handmade quilts is her way of welcoming visitors with her personal touch.

Why they chose this property

Located directly across from our house, The Quilted Log property is so convenient for us to operate, manage, and oversee. We hope to meet all of our visitors and welcome them to our peaceful countryside of Door County.

What makes this property unique

A newly remodeled and modernized log home/cabin on Cty Rd T in West Jacksonport, 12 miles from "the big city" of Sturgeon Bay with its restaurants and shopping, but near to Jacksonport with its kayaking, Mike's Port Pub, Island Fever, and New Year's Day Polar Bear Plunge, and just miles from popular dining, beer and wine bars, and unique shopping in Egg Harbor, Baileys Harbor, Fish Creek, and northern Door.
