We loved this vintage cabin with it's breathtaking bay view and the most glorious sunrise we had ever seen. Bright stars and full moon made the cabin memorable.The porch overlooking the bay was our favorite room. With comfy chairs, table and couch. The place was roomy with comfy beds and everything supplied, clean and working. Our stay was a treat we truly enjoyed. What a gem!

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!

Overall, we were very happy with our stay. The sunrises were amazing.For my son and I personally we would’ve rather had the mattress beds firmer it was like sleeping on cotton pillows, and we ended up having sore backs. Otherwise, we are very happy and would like to return at some point.Thank you for the memories!

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.

Great cottage for a short getaway

Rogers Cottage was recommended by a friend who had stayed there several years ago. It was even more wonderful than she said. Clean. Amenities up to date and in good order and it's right on the bay. Got to see the sunrise each morning, and watch the great blue heron and loons in the afternoon. Good location, isolated but near anything we wanted. We are 3 adult sisters trying to get a little time away from the stress of work/ sick husband and this cabin helped us rejuvenate to return to our daily life. Highly recommended.

Perfect

I stayed here over Labor Day weekend and everything was perfect. The cottage was very clean, the views of the lake were gorgeous especially during sunrise and sunset, the setting was quiet and peaceful. Everything about my stay was perfect. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Cute cottage, great location

Lovely spot on Rowleys Bay. Owners very responsive and went out of their way to get us information needed to accommodate my daughter who uses a wheelchair. The cottage is no frills but has everything we needed. Thanks, Jay.

Great lake-side cottage for families

My family enjoyed our stay at Rogers Cottage. The cottage was clean and came with all the necessities one would expect. Our family of five had more than enough room…not often that you find a three bedroom cottage on the lake at a reasonable price. The location is perfect in that all the attractions of northern Door County are a short drive away, and you can come back to the cottage to relax. Our kids really enjoyed swimming off the dock. Definitely recommend!

beautiful location

We enjoyed the clear water with lake access for our kayaks and boat launch near by for sailing. It is quite and secluded, which is what we were looking for. Cottage has an old house charm too. Some inconvenience with hosts not providing bath towels and no washer and dryer in the unit.

A very pleasant stay. The cottage is laid out very well. Everything you need. Owners were very quick to respond to questions. Location worked out very well to get around from Fish Creek to Gills Rock.
