This VRBO in Wisconsin Is Peak Fall Vibes

As the lazy, hazy days of summer begin to fade, the Midwest transforms. Trees, weary from their greenery, start to transition into their gorgeous autumnal colors, and places like Door County begin to slow down. While others flock to Door for their summer vacations to bask by the beaches or indulge in their succulent county cherries, I prefer to head up to the area as others head for home. My serenity is best found in shoulder seasons, and where could be more perfect to celebrate autumn than a little cottage nestled amongst the beechwood trees, far away from it all? Nothing could say "fall trip in Wisconsin" better than the Beechwood Cottage.

Situated in Sister Bay, one of the best vacation spots in the country, this adorable little cottage will get you away from it all without getting you too far away from it all. It is only a short drive away from the delightful shops and eateries of the town. This means you are only moments away from Al Johnson's Swedish Restaurant at all times, even in the solitude of your cottage getaway. So when you are ready for some fresh hot chocolate, and not the powdered kind, you can pick it up from Al Johnson's in a jiffy.

Back at your retro haven, however, you'll have the comforts of home in the style of a few decades removed. Warm wood paneling and exposed brick give you all the cozy vibes of a woodsy cabin, while the cottage's coffee bar keeps you roaring for more adventure. Even if that adventure is reading by the gas fireplace all weekend long, there is nothing wrong with that. In fact, this home is practically begging for a stay-in kind of vacation. Since it only sleeps four, your small travel party can each stake a claim somewhere in the cottage for a good ol' fashioned read-a-thon, or you can all gather on the back deck at twilight and listen to the woods coming alive. Better yet, light up the fire pit for some s'mores with good conversation in between gooey bites.

It is when the temperatures drop enough for a good bonfire that it finally feels like fall. Sweater weather feelings are hard to escape at this cottage when everywhere you look is a picture-worthy spot. Not only do the soothing, dark tones and vintage aesthetics of the Beechwood Cottage epitomize a cozy fall, but they also capture some of the charm of Door County. Everywhere you go feels like home. And if you're venturing in from a big city, it's the perfect place to get back to nature.

You can literally admire the nature all around you from the cottage's many, many windows, but you can also slow down along with the town of Sister Bay. Let those big city blues fall away. Fall Fest aside, there are far fewer tourists bopping around once calendars roll past August. Ensconced in design features of a gentler time, we can remind ourselves to be centered, to slow down, and to simply enjoy time as it comes to us.
