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.

Great host, terrific communication throughout the whole process. Spacious, well-stocked, convenient to everything. VERY quiet! We would have wished for a washer and dryer, but that was never included. (I only point it out for folks with families.) All in all, it was a great home base from which to explore northern Door County! Thanks, Lisa!

We are glad you enjoyed your time in the cabin and hope you come again!!
The cabin was exactly what we were looking for in a quiet, rustic corner of Ellison Bay. It had all the amenities we needed, excellent communication from the hosts, and easy process all around. We spent a lot of time just relaxing at the cabin with our two kids, and we were never bored. We saw deer in the backyard everyday and our kids couldn’t believe how quiet it was. The cabin was clean and well stocked, cozy and comfortable. We would love to stay here again!

The home was clean and comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked. Games and puzzles were available. Location was secluded and a little far from town, but beautiful.

Thank you Alec - so happy you enjoyed your time in the cabin and look forward to your next stay!
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.
We had a wonderful stay at the cabin! It was in a very quiet area and the cabin was very clean. Great communication with the owner as well. We will definitely be booking here again. Highly recommend!

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.

Steve - we are so happy you enjoyed your stay. Please come back and experience the cabin during another season!
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.

This cabin is so homey. It has everything you need with the great feel of a family home. Beds were so comfortable. All the amenities needed are provided. Neighborhood is quiet. Perfect location in Door County to hit all the towns without driving forever. Would highly recommend. Thanks for the stay!
