About this property

Rustic, cozy log home vacation retreat near Sister Bay.

Welcome to Land’s End, our happy place nestled at the edge of the forest. The house is just north of Sister Bay on an inlet of Lake Michigan called Rowleys Bay. This unique setting allows for rest and relaxation and the only noise you hear may be from the laughter of friends and family playing games, grilling, kayaking on Rowleys Bay or the Mink River, biking or gazing at the Milky Way near the marina. We have had many wonderful guests over the past 40 years.

Our log home was built in 1984 with hand-hewn logs from the surrounding woods. As you enter the home with beams and walls covered in wood from an 1820's barn you begin to feel the stresses of everyday life melt away. The soaring 24 ft cathedral ceiling and grand stone fireplace welcome you into the family/dining area and the adjacent wall of windows looks out at the surrounding wilderness where deer, raccoons, squirrels and birds can be viewed from the comfort of the home. We have installed new ductless A/C in the main room on the first floor in 2022 for your comfort. New carpeting has been installed throughout the cabin in June 2024.

If you want a little more entertainment, Sister Bay is less than 10 minutes away where there is a selection of restaurants, bars, a beach, boat and water sport rentals and shops. Don’t forget to get breakfast at Al Johnson’s and see the goats on the roof or end the day with a scoop of ice cream from Door County Ice Cream Factory or Door County Creamery.

The house sleeps 8. It includes 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. The master bedroom is on the main floor with a King bed. The bathroom on the main floor has a shower and jacuzzi tub. There are two bedrooms on the second floor; one with a Queen bed and the other with 2 Twin beds. The bathroom upstairs has a bathtub/shower combination. The upstairs loft overlooks the family room and has a view into the forest with a Queen sleeper sofa. The kitchen has typical appliances as well as a microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker, toaster, blender, crockpot and all the utensils, cookery and plates/glassware you should need. The dining area has a table for 8 and 4 stools under the kitchen peninsula. The family room has a Smart TV with YouTubeTV and WIFI. Heating is electric so each room can be set individually. There is AC for the main area on the first floor and also have ceiling fans and extra fans in the closet. Outside is a patio deck, picnic table, a couple of chairs and a Weber charcoal grill.
The town of Liberty Grove requires us to maintain a register of the names and addresses of all guests over the age of 6 which will be collected prior to your stay.

Our stay at Lands End cabin exceeded our expectations! Rustic, cozy cabin vibes nestled in a quaint and very quiet corner of the woods. Lots of wildlife! Excellent location away from the busyness of nearby towns but convenient to get to them when needed/wanted. Very clean and the bed was very comfortable. Great fireplace! The host was very attentive and kind. Would definitely stay here again!

We really enjoyed our stay at Lisa's vacation home near Rowley's Bay in Door County. Everything was as advertised. It was in a quiet, wooded location with a well-stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, and a very rustic, cabin-like feel. Lisa was a great communicator and answered all my questions before we arrived. I would surely stay here again if we come back to the area.

Wonderful door county getaway

We loved the rustic lodge. Two grandmas and two 10 year olds. It was a wonderfully relaxing place to return after running all day at shops and attractions. It was set up perfectly for us to all gather and also to have some private time space. Very centrally located. Check in was a breeze.

The property was fabulous. On arrival a Mega Storm had gone through and there were trees down on the roof of the building and deck. There was no power for 2 days. i hoped there would be a partial refund on your fee but have seen nothing yet. Other than that everything else was great and would come back. Thanks Lands End property for a great stay.

The communication with the host was amazing. She was very attentive to any of our needs. She communicated before check-in as we checked in and during our stay. The house itself was a little different than the pictures online. The pictures made it look a little bit brighter than it actually was. The furniture was old and worn. The kitchen was well stocked. However, the house was quite dusty and dated looking. You could tell that they decorated for the fall, but the decorations look like they were just taken out of a very tightly packed box. They also looked very aged. You could tell that the house had just recently been cleaned, you could see the vacuum lines and it smelled clean however it was quite dusty. It was a unique experience staying in a log cabin, but I don’t think that I would stay here again.
