The DiSalvo Lakehouse

This beautiful home is just minutes from Sister Bay on the banks of Rowleys Bay overlooking Lake Michigan. It's a beautiful, spacious home, but at the same time it offers an intimate lake-house feel. Within a couple blocks, there is a boat marina, zip-lining, a boat launch and slips, along with segway tours.   During the Winter months you will find trails for cross-country skiing and a cozy fireplace to warm up. We recently added an outdoor pizza kitchen to create a wonderful experience for our guests!

We are proud that our house has been ranked as the #1 waterfront home in all of Door County on VRBO in the top 50 ranking! Also featured on TripsToDiscover.com as one of the top ten VRBO vacation properties in all of Wisconsin!

It includes 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths. 3 spacious bedrooms on mail level, including master suite with King Bed (Purple Hybrid 3 mattress with electric base) and in-suite bathroom. Two other bedrooms feature Queen beds and second bathroom on main level. 4th bedroom with 4 twin beds (2 bunk sets) and a full bath upstairs through a spiral staircase. 3 of the bedrooms have panoramic views of the bay and Lake Michigan. We just completed a renovation of the kitchen, newly expanded deck with ping pong table, and plenty of room for entertaining, both bathrooms on first floor along with installing a new HVAC system which adds Central air for the Summer! All mattresses are brand new this year! Leather sofa in living room is a Queen sofa sleeper.

We provide 3 kayak’s, 3 paddle boards and one three-person canoe for all guest use. We also have plenty of yard games to enjoy lakeside. On the side of the house we have all boats stored along with a yard bin with multiple games including life size Jenga, Bocci Ball and Bags.

The home offers a well appointed, updated kitchen, H/E washer/dryer, 3 decks with lake views, 2 Weber grills, one gas, one charcoal. We do offer a Keurig coffee maker along with a standard Coffee maker as well. Smart TV's in Livingroom, Master and Bunk room with hi-speed wifi, featuring YouTubeTV, along with access to sign into Netflix, Disney Plus, etc…. We also have a selection of movies, books, and family games! This is our own family vacation home, so we hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

For security purposes, we have a Ring Door bell that captures video for check in and check out purposes only.

Great stay
Lovely property in a quiet beautiful location right on the lake. Responsive hosts. Comfy beds. We enjoyed experimenting with the pizza oven. Unfortunately we did a lot of exploring so didn't use the other amenities but it was great having the options.

Family Birthday Celebration
The DiSalvo Lakehouse was one of the best places our family has stayed over the years. The Lakehouse was in a great location, was very clean, and the hosts were very accommodating and easy to communicate with. We all would love to come back again in the summer when we can spend more time on the deck and by the water!

Ideal Door County
Beautifully appointment lakefront home well suited for large families. Our group made much use of the kitchen, pizzs oven, grills and blackstone. The wine fridge was also very nice to have. Kids enjoyed the variety of toys. Beds were comfy. Quiet road with no through traffic.

Beautiful Getaway on the Lake
The DiSalvo Lakehouse is incredible. From the first moment we stepped through the door until we left the property did not stop "wowing" us. The home itself is beautiful and the host provides plenty of things to make your stay great. Various types of outdoor grills/cooking surfaces, yard games, kayaks and canoes. Everything was great and I would not hesitate to book this place again.

Better than Expected
This home was everything we imagined, and more. It was such a beautiful and private location. Being on the water was absolutely breathtaking. The home was so clean and provided everything you needed. There were books, board games, and hundreds of DVDs. The best bedroom was definitely the 2nd floor bunk room. It had its own bathroom! I would love to stay here again and I know my family enjoyed it as well.

Great location for a family vacation
The lake house was perfect for our family vacation (5 adults and our 1 year old granddaughter). There was everything you would need for a vacation by Lake Michigan from making meals to recreation. You can swim and kayak or paddle board right from the backyard. It's a rocky shore, but great for adults and kids. We took our granddaughter to Sand Bay Park, just a 6 minute drive, for her first sand beach experience. We made use of the gas grill, outdoor pizza oven and Blackstone grill. The Blackstone was great for making big family breakfasts! We have been visiting Door County for 46 years, staying or camping in various locations. I highly recommend Rowley's Bay. It is a quiet spot, but still close to all of the tourist attractions and restaurants.

Rowley's Bay Gem
This VRBO was extremely clean, well kept inside and out and was well stocked from the essentials to all the kitchen supplies you need. All the comforts of home with a beautiful back drop of lake Michigan. Will definitely stay her again.

Wonderful Extended Weekend Getaway
This is a really nice and clean house with the view of Lake Michigan. We went there with our family and friends and their kids and had a great time. The house is clean and spacious. Kids went sledding in one of the state parks close by and had a wonderful time.

Beautiful Home and Location
We had a wonderful week in this home. The area is quiet and relaxing, and the water view of Lake Michigan was beautiful. We made dinner most nights, and the kitchen was well-stocked with pots, pans, utensils, toaster, coffee makers, etc. Great home, and we would absolutely stay here again if given the opportunity. Thank you for having us!

Wonderful lake house
We had such a wonderful weekend at the DiSalvo Lakehouse. The house itself was absolutely perfect and totally fit our groups needs. We traveled with 3 kids all under 3 and they had plenty to keep them busy which we appreciated. The hosts thought of everything so we didn’t have to worry about forgetting to pack anything. The area was quiet but close enough to all the fun in Sister Bay. We definitely plan on visiting again!

Rowleys Bay get-away
We really enjoyed our get-away. All six members of our party agreed that this was a top-notch property. Every room in the house was tastefully appointed and well stocked. That is also true of the outdoor amenities as well. We were provided with clear instructions and guides, and helpful hints and suggestions. It is obvious that the owners take great pride in their lake home, and insure that guests have n enjoyable time.

Relaxation!!!
A lovely up to date property. A place to lie back while you slowly swing side to side in a hammock that literally overlooks the water. Total relaxation! My family and I had a great time with full accommodations, lots of entertainment, kayaks, canoe, games, outdoor ping pong, nearby restaurants (12-minute drive) and more. Lots of good fishing too! A great stay!!!

Beautiful home
We’ve been coming to Door County every fall for many years. This house did not disappoint. All of the amenities made for a great home away from home. Set up very well for families with small children. Spacious kitchen with lots of room to cook and enjoy your meals as a family. GREAT lake views. We’ll be back!
