Door county gem

Amazing, relaxing cabin that is a stones throw from Rowleys bay. Great location for anglers! This would also be an ideal stay for anyone who wants to experience door county but wants to be away from the hustle of the summer tourists. Highly recommend!

Just Perfect

My time at the cabin was just perfect. Everything you need and a great hide away spot that is very private yet convenient. I would highly recommend owner’s Ed and Jill too, as they were available and so helpful.

Cute cabin

We were very pleased with our stay. The cabin was very cute and homey. The beds were comfortable, and living room space was enjoyable. The only thing we would suggested would be something to help take the dampness out of the house. We would definitely book again. Thank you!

Highly recommend

This place worked out perfect for our group of 6. The location was lovely and just a short walk to the water. These folks thought of everything, including a charger with a selection of cables for all devices. There were lots of cozy blankets (it really cooled down at night). It's a very quiet area but a short drive to busier areas, if that is your thing.

Relaxing and quiet

The property is great! All kitchen utensils and dish ware that you need. Great fishing to walkable pier. Went out at night to see all the stars and super moon! Sad to see Rowleys Bay burned down. We’ve stayed at this VRBO for the last 4 years. Always enjoyable .

Cozy cabin in the woods

Our family of 7 enjoyed our stay at Rowley's Bay. This cabin accommodated us well. It was a nice place to come back to after exploring beautiful Door Co. It's on the quiet side of the peninsula, only a short drive to picturesque beaches, parks, lakeshore villages, and the Washington Island Ferry. There is also plenty of fun to be had close by with kayak and paddle board rentals, Segway tours, a zip-line course, and a trail/board walk to nearby Sand Bay beach.

Loved it!

This is a great cabin: kitchen supplies stocked, very clean and has everything needed. Our memeory foam mattress was very comfortable and we really appreciated the fireplace loaded up and ready to light … with detailed instructions for their unique fireplace. Property owners were very responsive and generously accommodating. Their experience as conscientious hosts really shows— they have thought of everything. Would absolutely stay here again.
