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!

Disliked: Cleanliness
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.

Very enjoyable stay in a charming cabin

We enjoyed staying here. The location is great, the cabin is quite nice. There is a beautiful deck, and the master suite is large. The wood burning fireplace was wonderful. The kitchen is fully stocked. We would definitely recommend staying here - and would like to come back again.

Sibling Get Together

Two brothers and a sister with their spouses spent a week here. Took a sunset cruise and just drove around and enjoyed the area. Visited some lighthouses and wineries. The women enjoyed the shopping and the men enjoyed the beer. The cabin was very comfortable and the deer and squirrels were friendly..Great area for hiking and kayaking. Saw some fishermen catching some nice sized fish.

Great Getaway in the Woods!

My sisters and their spouses...all over 60 had a wonderful stay at this cabin in the woods! Very quiet and had all the amenities you can ask for. The WI-FI was pretty slow but didn't get in the way too much. The listing did mention a hot tub but there was only a jacuzzi in the bathroom. Other then that, we had a great time and would return again!

Quiet cabin in Rowleys

Cabin was perfect for a week with family and grandparents. Clean and well stocked kitchen, good ol’ Weber grill. There is a trail to the sand beach behind the cabin, and the bakery in Rowley’s Bay is good for a quick coffee and sweet in the morning. We did not miss having a fire pit as we were busy running around the north end of the Door County Peninsula.

Wonderful Cabin at Lands End

Tucked away, this cabin offers a warm and inviting place to stay. The view out the living room windows gives you a chance to see deer as well as other wild life. The fire place is awesome and can heat the whole room. The bedrooms are roomy with plenty of closet space and draws, as well as a very comfortable bed. The Kitchen has a very good work flow. Communication with Lisa was awesome. Overall a great place to relax and the perfect get away!

Privacy and quiet in the woods

Lands End is a clean, quiet, and comfortable home in a less crowded part on beautiful Door County. I went for a retreat so was able to spend time alone among the trees or with people at the adjacent resort. The cool and sunny weather was perfect for sleeping with the windows open in the comfortable king size bed. It was even cool enough for a fire in the big stone fireplace one evening, wood provided. A Sunday farmers market in nearby Baileys Harbor provided local fresh produce for cooking in the well stocked kitchen. Kick Ash Coffee and Seaquist Market in Ellison Bay are close by for fresh cherries, baked goods and cheese. And Newport State Park is in the area and wonderful for hiking on its many miles of trails. The new tower in Peninsula State Park with its engineering wonder ramp is definitely worth a visit! I would have liked a better reading light in the living room but that was a minor annoyance. For those who like to watch tv, the reception was very good, which I have not found in most houses I have rented in that area. Communication with Lisa, the owner, was friendly and easy. All in all, this well maintained log house in the woods is a perfect place for an individual, a couple , or a family vacation.

We found the cabin to be just that... a quaint, cozy, log cabin. We enjoyed being far enough away in the woods to be quiet, yet close enough to Sister Bay and other towns. Cabin was pretty clean, and well stocked. Carpet seemed newer. Host responded quickly to texts.

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.
