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 while toasting marshmallows over the fire pit near the marina. We have had many wonderful guests over the past 30 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.

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.

Great Cabin in the woods
Loved this property! So beautifully put together. The history of the place is amazing! Thankful for supplying all the bedding, towels, kitchen appliances, and baking and cooking equipment. They even had extra cleaning supplies around if we needed it. The best part was definitely the location. Loved being able to walk down the the dock every morning and evening to watch the sun rise and set. Thank you for your hospitality! We will be planning another return for sure.

Spring break cabin in the woods
We really enjoyed our stay at this awesome cabin. The 1800s barn wood, beams and fireplace make this a unique and cozy place to relax after a day in the outdoors. Door County in the off season was peaceful. Very responsive and friendly host. Highly recommend.

Communication with the owner was exceptional! We loved the rustic vibe of the cabin and the location. We had three deer visit one morning. Short drive to surrounding communities great for coffee, restaurants, groceries and sight seeing!

Relaxing Stay
We had such a relaxing weekend at Landsend! The home was perfect for our family of 4 (incl. a 12 & 14 yr old) although the home could have easily accommodated more people. The kids liked having their own rooms. The kitchen was well stocked and it was nice to have some local coffee set out for us to use in the mornings. Toiletries were available in the bathrooms if you forget anything. The house was very clean. Beds and couches were comfortable. Firewood was provided. We really enjoyed curling up by the fire after dinner. It's located in a nice quiet neighborhood. I enjoyed going for a walk in the evening. The fall color was gorgeous! You're only about 10 min. from the Piggly Wiggly grocery store in Sister Bay. We ate at Mink River Basin in Ellison Bay (again about a 10 min drive) for dinner - good food and some games for the kids; had a lively bar area too for adults. Also enjoyed a fish boil at White Gull Inn in Fish Creek. On Sunday we went e-biking from Jacksonport and rode south along Cave Point Dr to Whitefish Dunes State Park (rented through Door County Kayak via doorcountybike.com). The owner was very good about communicating with us. She even let us know that we could check in early if we wanted to. I highly recommend staying here!

Ladies' Getaway Week
Our group of four retired women has been coming to Door County each October for 35+ years. This year we decided to rent a house rather than a condo. Lands End was just the ticket: cozy, clean, and well-maintained. We were also lucky to hit peak color, which was splendid throughout the peninsula, but seemed especially fine in this area near the northern tip.
