General information

“Kill Kare” is the name that our grandparents, Louis and Henrietta Nebel, gave to this wonderful getaway on Wisconsin’s Door County peninsula. Maybe their love of Shakespeare prevailed, envisioning a place where all cares…worries…would be killed. Louis was Door County’s first electrical contractor, and though his residence was only two miles away in Sturgeon Bay, like any businessman, he valued his retreat place. The cottage has been our family gathering place ever since, a place where four generations now have forged their fondest memories. Our grandparents originally purchased this property in November of 1922...for $750! They paid the mortgage off in two years. Then, in 1935 they secured a mortgage of $5,400 to construct the first phase of the building. Over the years Kill Kare grew in a piecemeal fashion--adding a sunporch and a small upstairs loft. Then, in 1999, our mother, Helen Nebel, saw to it that the building would be expanded and renovated to serve future generations. When she died in 2002 her will specified that the cottage somehow stay in the family, with rentals to allow for upkeep and taxes. We are honored to share this special place with you. Come stay awhile - The Rest Comes Easy at Kill Kare!
