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. 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.

Quiet Respite
My purpose in visting Land's End cabin was to have several days of quiet in a comfortable, cozy cabin in the woods - with a beautirful fireplace. I felt right at home as soon as I entered. I slept well at the cabin, and felt safe and secure. If I had any complaint at all, it is that the fireplace had a lot of burnt wood and a lot of ash in it from the former resident. I hoped to start a fire as soon as I pulled in at dusk, but had to find the bin in the back yard to put the ashes and burnt logs into...then shovel all of it out to the bin before I could get my fire going. Other than that, I found everything very much to my liking and comfort.

Great Getaway in the Woods!
My sisters and their spouses...all over 60 had a wonderful stay at this cabin in the woods! Very quiet and had all the amenities you can ask for. The WI-FI was pretty slow but didn't get in the way too much. The listing did mention a hot tub but there was only a jacuzzi in the bathroom. Other then that, we had a great time and would return again!

Nice Stay
Comfortable, rustic and nice location in door county. Being a contractor and having previous years of experience in cabinetry/fine woodworking, I really enjoyed all the wood in the cabin! Nicely done. Would definitely go back.

Sibling Get Together
Two brothers and a sister with their spouses spent a week here. Took a sunset cruise and just drove around and enjoyed the area. Visited some lighthouses and wineries. The women enjoyed the shopping and the men enjoyed the beer. The cabin was very comfortable and the deer and squirrels were friendly..Great area for hiking and kayaking. Saw some fishermen catching some nice sized fish.

Secluded cozy getaway
The cabin was tucked away in the woods which left us with beautiful views. It had everything we needed (except laundry but a quick trip to sister bay suds was easy to do). It was very warm and our host made sure we had fans and even provided more in the middle of our stay. That was above and beyond!!! We loved our time and would definitely book this house again! Lisa was amazing to work with!

Oasis of calm in the woods
House is clean, comfortable, and charming. Convenient but private location. Nice outdoor space. The kitchen had everything we needed. Fun watching the wildlife, but be cautious about deer when driving at dusk-so many! Enjoyed going to several nearby beaches, including Sand Beach. Great host, easy to reach when I needed anything.

Beautiful Cabin
We had an amazing stay at the Land’s End cabin this week. Lisa is an amazing host, full of helpful information, and extremely responsive. The cabin is perfectly located in the heart of Door County but just off the path enough to enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The cabin itself was very comfortable and cozy, perfect for our family. Highly recommend this location for your next DC vacation! Thank you Lisa!

Rustic, quiet cabin but bad mosquitoes outside
The cabin was really atmospheric. The kitchen had everything you need to prepare nice meals. The beds were very comfortable. I even shared the pull out sofa bed with my daughter one night and slept great (I’ve never said that about a sofa bed!) the bathrooms were great and the place was very clean. The one thing that really impacted our enjoyment, however, were all of the mosquitoes outdoors. We were not able to enjoy the deck or cook on the grill due to the sheer number of the mosquitoes. We had to run from our car to the house when we left and came back each day. I’ve never had this issue in door county. I am not sure the owner can do much about this but I share this for future travelers to be aware of.

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.

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.

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.
