Perfect location! Privacy, and away from all the hub-bub of the busy activities ... but within 10 minutes (lovely drives) of the good activities. Lovely views - especially with a full moon over the bay. Fantastic hosts - quick answers of my specific travel questions. Would definitely recommend!

Secluded and charming

Our second stay at this cottage. It's biggest benefit is lake access right from the back yard. Very convenient with the deck to launch kayaks. The house itself has an authentic old fashioned charm.

Rogers Cottage was a wonderful place for our group for the week. We enjoyed being on the water and spending time on the deck and yard. The cottage was very clean, with a nice layout, and great views out the window to the lake. Convenient, yet quiet location. Great star gazing when we had a cloudless night. Thanks for a great stay!

I stayed here over Labor Day weekend and everything was perfect. The cottage was very clean, the views of the lake were gorgeous especially during sunrise and sunset, the setting was quiet and peaceful. Everything about my stay was perfect. I would definitely recommend staying here.

We loved this vintage cabin with it's breathtaking bay view and the most glorious sunrise we had ever seen. Bright stars and full moon made the cabin memorable.The porch overlooking the bay was our favorite room. With comfy chairs, table and couch. The place was roomy with comfy beds and everything supplied, clean and working. Our stay was a treat we truly enjoyed. What a gem!

Overall, we were very happy with our stay. The sunrises were amazing.For my son and I personally we would’ve rather had the mattress beds firmer it was like sleeping on cotton pillows, and we ended up having sore backs. Otherwise, we are very happy and would like to return at some point.Thank you for the memories!

beautiful location

We enjoyed the clear water with lake access for our kayaks and boat launch near by for sailing. It is quite and secluded, which is what we were looking for. Cottage has an old house charm too. Some inconvenience with hosts not providing bath towels and no washer and dryer in the unit.

Response from VrboOwner on Jul 24, 2024
Thank you for your review. We are sorry for not providing bath towels, we struggle dealing with how to get them changed out with the limited options we have for cleaning services in the area and not being local. Space is a real issue for providing washer and dryer in the unit. There are several local laundry options, we will provide a list of these moving forward. Glad to hear you enjoyed the rest of your stay and thank you again for the review.

Great lake-side cottage for families

My family enjoyed our stay at Rogers Cottage. The cottage was clean and came with all the necessities one would expect. Our family of five had more than enough room…not often that you find a three bedroom cottage on the lake at a reasonable price. The location is perfect in that all the attractions of northern Door County are a short drive away, and you can come back to the cottage to relax. Our kids really enjoyed swimming off the dock. Definitely recommend!

An amazing spot - the home is small but roomy - the water is literally right there - and the view to Lake Michigan is stunning This place is isolated - buy stuff somewhere before you come up - or it’s a 5 min drive to the nearest store, watch yourself with gas out there - the roads basically never end and it does take a bit to get somewhere Rowleys resort unfortunately will not be open again from what some locals told me - that would be a great spot to have a supper club / barThe public dock is right next to the cabin if you do have a par and the owners have a dock Awesome spot - will go back one day when the weather is more cooperative- but watching the lake with the wind and rain was definitely something to see
