10 of the Best Airbnbs in Door County, Wisconsin

Door County is one of the prettiest travel destinations in Wisconsin, famous for gorgeous landscapes and idyllic small towns.

Aptly nicknamed the Cape Cod of the Midwest, Door County is a peninsula bordered by the scenic waters of Lake Michigan and Green Bay. More than 300 miles of lakeshore are just begging to be explored, lined with beautiful beaches, sand dunes, and striking bluffs. One way to see the beauty of Wisconsin’s thumb is with a road trip along the Door County Coastal Byway or a visit to any of the five state parks on the peninsula.

The most popular state parks are Whitefish Dunes and Peninsula State Park, where you can camp, hike, and marvel at the local scenic beauty. Door County is also famous for its historic lighthouses and fertile soil that allows for the growth of delicious apples, cherries, and berries. After a long day of exploration, be sure to treat yourself to one of the many wineries and local mom-and-pop shops serving creamy custard and the catch of the day.

Here are some of the best Door County Airbnbs that welcome you with classic Midwest hospitality and comfort.
