Madeline Island Cottage Overlooking Apostle Islands
A private and quiet setting overlooking the Apostle Islands National Park. Relaxing getaway for two or plenty of space for a gathering of sixteen.
Enjoy enchanting glimpses of wildlife; deer at dawn, lake trout and salmon migrating in spring and fall. The extra-wide, permanent dock reaches 140' into Lake Superior and provides a perfect place to relax on the adirondack chairs and watch children at play or enjoy a serene moment at sunset.
Our architecturally designed cottage has an old world feel. The all-wood interior on the main and upper floors, most of which is milled from old growth Douglas Fir timbers, lend warmth and character to the home. The wrap-around screen porch provides protected outdoor space for dining, reading, playing cards or taking an afternoon nap. The fieldstone rumsford fireplace will take the evening chill out of the air and the 12' dining table will seat a crowd for special meals prepared in the gourmet kitchen.
The lower level 'rainy day' room features table tennis, a kids rock-climbing wall, a large flat screen TV monitor with AppleTV. An electric keyboard and an acoustic guitar is there waiting to be strummed. Plenty of books, games and puzzles line the shelves throughout the home.
We are 7 miles from the town of LaPointe where you'll find restaurants, bars, ice cream and souvenir shopping. There are tennis courts available as well as a Robert Trent Jones-designed golf course. Moped, kayak and bicycle rental also available. Take the ferry over to Bayfield for a day trip of shopping and dinner out.
Available for weekly rentals during summer months or shorter periods in fall, winter and spring. Designed by Dale Mulfinger of SALA Architects, and featured in his book, Family Cabin (https://www.tauntonstore.com/the-family-cabin#collateral-tabs)

This was our third time staying. We go almost every year and have stayed at many phenomenal homes on the island, but this is far and away our favorite. The home is incredibly well thought-out for groups and very comfortable. The porch, the dock, the sunsets...it's just magical.
We were thrilled with the space for a multi-family vacation, better than pictured! Plenty of space, the basement was a perfect escape for the kids, the kitchen well-equipped, porch lovely, and the dock/beach amazing!
Great house! Plenty of room. Clean. Well kept up. Wonderful wrap around porch. Kitchen is fully stocked (if you like to cook).Great dock. Our group has stayed at the home a number of times or the years and have loved it each time. Our group 70's-80's year olds are starting to age out of being able to make the hike to the water and dock. Highly recommend this property. Theresa the owner responds quickly should you have any questions.
Fabulous place for our family to gather to enjoy each other and the gorgeous area. Our group ranged in age from 5 to 85. We had as many as 14 people there at once, although all were not able to stay the whole week. The kids loved the basement playroom and the great pier on the lake, as did the adults. So many wonderfully appointed bedrooms, lots of getaway spots, spacious dining table. And then the wraparound screened porch and the unbelievable kitchen! This is a truly special house!!!
The property was beautiful and appointed well for extended family needs.Theresa was very reachable when needed!Being right on the lake was a highlight. The dock and sandy beach was lovely.
We had 8 of us staying at this spacious property. It was very comfortable and tons of amenities. We loved the screened in porch and spent relaxing afternoons on the dock. I’d recommend this property to anyone looking for a getaway on Madeline Island.
Sunset on the dock, drinks on the porch, a friendly dog from next door, full gourmet kitchen, great bed linens and beds, this welcoming house has a heart!
We were 4 families and totaled 15. Everyone commented on the bedrooms, toilets showers were the best to accommodate our size group!The grounds are beautiful and the access to lake and dock is great!
This house was a dream cabin that gave 14 family members space to spread out and room to gather all together around one table. We were a group of four generations ages 5-85. The cabin has such a cozy esthetic and is spacious and comfortable with incredible views of the Apostle Islands and sunsets.
Memorial weekend for our mom we lost last year . Spending time with family reminiscing and making memories was quiet, peaceful ,spacious We loved it very comfortable would definitely come back
4 adults, 2 older teens, and 3 10 year olds stayed for 3 days and loved every part of it. The house is beautiful and has everything you need. Beds are really comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked. Will for sure try to stay again.
This home is lovely, well-appointed, spacious - the perfect Madeline Island retreat. Between the screen porch and dock, we didn't want to leave the property. Hoping to return!
We had a fabulous time at this spectacular house on Madeline Island! it is absolutely beautiful, has lots of space, great access to a dock on Lake Superior, stunning views and a wonderful well-stocked kitchen. It is so charming and cozy and has enough space for our group. Communication with the host is very easy. We just loved staying there!
Rendezvous House was relaxing, well-stocked, comfortable, had lovely decor, a great view, and fun dock and beach.
Plenty of space for 16 of us to move around without being on top of each other. The nine kids enjoyed the ping pong table and climbing wall. And very comfortable beds!
We loved sitting on the screened in porch to look at the lake and enjoy the sunsets. Not far from the state park or town.
Our group of ten, including adults and children, enjoyed all aspects of this memorable property from the well-appointed kitchen, the pool table in the basement, the *amazing* screened in porch, the front lawn for a wiffle ball game, the many cozy and unique spaces to the huge dock with chairs and sandy beach! Theresa was very helpful both before and during our stay, and we thank her and her family for sharing this special place with others. We will be back to Madeline Island!!
