This Wisconsin Tower Offers a Storybook Stay

Wisconsin's Door County peninsula, with its dramatic Lake Michigan shoreline, rugged rock formations, pristine beaches, forested interior, and quaint lakeside villages, feels like something out of a fairytale. And if you long to be the main character in such a tale, you can turn the whimsy level up to 11 by booking a stay in this magical vacation rental tower in Wisconsin. A stone tower in Door County? There may not be a combination more worthy of a fairytale anywhere else in the Badger State.

Perched on a forested ridge above the charming village of Ellison Bay, Brenner Tower in Wisconsin is an architectural masterpiece that will fuel your imagination, starting with its remote-feeling (you're actually just minutes from town) natural setting. The tower contains three circular rooms on its three lovely levels. You'll enter on the main level and step onto parquet floors wrapped within the same natural stone walls that you saw on the exterior. A television and comfortable seating area will greet you. A convenient powder room and three doors opening to the tree-lined property are also located on this level.

Climb a curving staircase to the next level to find the bedroom. Spacious and tasteful, the bedroom's floor-to-ceiling windows offer gorgeous views of the surrounding area. If you must take care of some business while here or wish to jot down your version of this fairytale, an office nook offers the perfect space to do so. The main bath with a shower is also located on this level.

The top level is the place to be. It's an open space with a well-equipped kitchen and a great room offering ample seating for up to four guests (the property's capacity). A fireplace and a deep selection of board games make this the perfect spot to hang out after a meal or while enjoying coffee or drinks - especially since this is where the best views are! Windows encircle the entire room, offering panoramic, 360-degree views out to the blue waters of Green Bay and even as far as Washington Island, off the tip of the peninsula.

I sure can't think of a better place to start your Door County "Once upon a time...."
