The cottage was very clean and so charming. Loved the vintage vibe. The bed was very comfortable and the kitchen well stocked. What a great view! Our favorite part was siting on the dock watching the wildlife that showed up. The location was also close to Sister Bay for exploring yet quiet at night. A great spot. Our host was an excellent communicator as well.showed up. The location was excelkwnt

Our stay at Rogers Cottage was perfect! You can not beat the waterfront location. Beautiful views of the bay, good size yard for kids to run and play, fire pit, and dock. The cottage was rich with history of the area which we love to look at. It was cozy and VERY clean. Perfect location for two families to share for a fun-filled get away. The host was also super responsive anytime we had a question. We cannot wait to come back next year!

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!
