A Rare Creekside Cottage in Cedarburg: Charm, Character & an Iconic Setting

Every so often, a Cedarburg property comes to market that’s more than just a home — it’s a feeling. The cottage on Covered Bridge Road is one of those rare finds. Tucked along Cedar Creek and directly across from the historic Covered Bridge, this home delivers the kind of storybook setting people move to Cedarburg for.

Whether you’re searching for a peaceful primary residence, a weekend escape close to Milwaukee, or a low-maintenance property with rental appeal, this cottage blends location, charm, and practicality in a way that’s almost impossible to duplicate.

A Setting That Sells Itself

There’s a reason the Covered Bridge is the most photographed landmark in Ozaukee County. It’s timeless, recognizable, and instantly calming — and this home sits right across from it.

From morning coffee overlooking the water to evenings in the hot tub surrounded by mature trees, this property offers the kind of everyday serenity you normally only find on vacation.

Yet, you’re still just minutes from downtown Cedarburg’s shops, restaurants, festivals, and conveniences.

What Makes This Cedarburg Cottage Stand Out

Move-In Ready Updates

Thoughtful improvements make this home comfortable and low-maintenance, whether you plan to be here every day or just on the weekends.

Outdoor Living You’ll Actually Use

The stone patio, landscaped yard, and private hot tub create a perfect year-round relaxation spot.

Attached Garage

At this size and price point, an attached garage is a major advantage—especially during Wisconsin winters.

Cozy, Efficient Layout

A bright living area, updated kitchen, and peaceful bedroom make the home feel warm, inviting, and practical.

Who This Home Speaks To

✨ The Weekend-Retreat Buyer

If you’ve been dreaming of a manageable second home where you can unwind without driving hours up north, this cottage hits the sweet spot — nature, water, charm, and convenience.

✨ The Thoughtful Downsizer

For someone looking to simplify without giving up character or access to the community they love, this home offers one-level living and a peaceful setting.

✨ The Investor with Vision

With a strong rental history and a setting that photographs beautifully, this property has natural appeal for furnished rentals or mid-term stays. If you want to explore rental projections or learn how this location performs, I can walk you through the numbers.

Why Homes Like This Don’t Last in Cedarburg

Cedarburg is known for its historic charm, walkability, and beautifully preserved natural areas. But cottages on Cedar Creek — especially near the Covered Bridge — are extremely limited. Many are held for years, often passed down within families. When one becomes available, it draws attention from multiple buyer types all at once.
