The Lily Pad is perched, as the name implies, right on the waters of Sturgeon Bay.
It is a fantastic location for anyone with an interest in pursuing maritime fun, as there is a private dock just a few steps from the front door. Fishermen, sailors, paddlers and SUPers will be delighted. A total renovation of the cottage in early Spring, 2018. All you will need is your toothbrush!
This newly renovated and completely furnished cottage is the perfect romantic get-away for a couple seeking to spend quality time in one of the last cottages remaining on the waterfront of Sturgeon Bay. This charming, one-bedroom studio, private getaway is ideal for anyone who wants to bicycle or stroll to the nearby beaches, State Park, restaurants, galleries and entertainment spots here in Sturgeon Bay. Spectacular sunrise vistas overlooking the historic Steel Bridge are the daily fare at The Lily Pad. Enjoy Otumba Park just a block away or relax outside on the deck reading your favorite novel.
The Lily Pad Cottage is a year round venue, including a winter sanctuary (my personal favorite time of year here). It has all of the latest appointments you’d expect to find in a high-end rental including a king-sized bed and a chef’s kitchen. Everything you need to prepare a culinary masterpiece is on hand… but who wants to cook when some of Door County’s finest restaurants are within a few blocks?
We look forward to welcoming you to Door County, the Cape Cod of the Midwest – a wonderful getaway where art and nature conspire to bring you joy.

The sounds of classical guitar, the perfect music for your wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, or brunch – solo acoustic guitar by George Sawyn. His instrument is the traditional classical guitar, gently amplified to cover a room with an elegant musical atmosphere, without interfering with conversation.
Sawyn’s musical repertoire covers a wide spectrum including many original works, diverse and yet familiar. He draws from the classical composers such as Bach, Vivaldi, and Dvorak; the “Standards” as sung by Frank Sinatra, Nat Cole, Ella Fitzgerald, and Tony Bennett; and popular songs of the 60s, 70s, and 80s by such stars as Nora Jones, The Beatles, James Taylor, Joni Mitchell, and George Benson. In addition, special requests from you or your guests are welcome.

The performer is a 38-year veteran of the Chicago music scene, guitarist George Sawyn. Over the years, George has worked with many of Chicago’s finest musicians and bands, playing many styles of music including rock, disco, country, jazz, and classical, and has acquired a wealth of musical repertoire and experience. But, his specialty is the solo acoustic guitar …soft, gentle, unobtrusive.
Since relocating to Door County, Wisconsin in 2010, George has entertained thousands of Door County residents and vacationers at local venues such as The Sturgeon Bay Yacht Club, Thorpe House Inn in Fish Creek, Pasta Vino in Ellison Bay and Al Johnson’s in Sister Bay.
