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.

Host communication from Lisa was very good -- helpful and responsive -- and her property manager was great. The cabin is rustic, as described, and functional. There are some minor tune-up items that we suggested to Lisa and she was very receptive. Although it's not right on the water, it's a great jumping off point for the bay, the lake, and all the Door County has to offer.

Affordable price for our group of 7 folks. The house was clean and looked as advertised. Lisa, our host was very responsive and made sure our stay was good. During checkin, it initially took us 10 mins or so to figure out the switches and lights in some rooms but other than that fantastic experience.Cozy feel and the kids got to see wild deer frequently around the house which was cool. The living room has high ceiling and very nice to hang out.Overall great stay and highly recommend!

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!

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!
