Overall clean and well kept. As stated on the listing.Would benefit from a few more pictures but overall pleased and would stay again. Host very responsive and confident would address concerns but really didn't have any. Peaceful vacay weekend. Loved the water/view, and firepit outside and ease of check-in/departure.

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!

An amazing spot - the home is small but roomy - the water is literally right there - and the view to Lake Michigan is stunning This place is isolated - buy stuff somewhere before you come up - or it’s a 5 min drive to the nearest store, watch yourself with gas out there - the roads basically never end and it does take a bit to get somewhere Rowleys resort unfortunately will not be open again from what some locals told me - that would be a great spot to have a supper club / barThe public dock is right next to the cabin if you do have a par and the owners have a dock Awesome spot - will go back one day when the weather is more cooperative- but watching the lake with the wind and rain was definitely something to see

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!

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.

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!

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.
