About this cottage rental

Nestled in Wisconsin, this charming cottage for $1,668 per night is a fantastic option for your next break. 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.

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.

This proved to be just the family time and place we were looking for. Slow days, incredible sunsets, swimming at the Town park beach, fishing, preparing food together and relishing the conversation. The house was perfect. Incredibly well stocked, and the house itself so well thought out for sleeping, eating, reading ( the library, for kids and adults, was on point!) and relaxing was just so wonderful. The screened porch alone was worthy of so much time spent looking over the Lake and the other islands. Our thanks to Theresa and her family and caretaker for creating and sharing an almost magical place on the island.

We have been to Madeline Island several times now, and this was our second time to go during the winter. We love it there in the winter because things are calm and quiet and beautiful with snow blanketing the trees. On my morning runs down the snowy lane, I scarcely saw any other person. It was just the peaceful retreat we were looking for. The home is cozy, clean and quiet, set far enough back off the road that you really feel like you are all alone in this winter wonderland. There was plenty of firewood at the house so that we could keep a roaring fire going. This was great for family game nights as well as cooking s’mores in the evening. There was plenty of space for our family of 10 to spread out and plenty of activities in the house to keep them occupied. My youngest kids really loved the rock climbing wall in the basement. Ironically, although we can never get them to practice at home, they also really enjoyed playing the piano in the basement. There were lots of books to read and lots of board games to play. The kitchen was well stocked, and we really did not lack anything we needed. As far as other activities, we rented snowshoes and went hiking in big bay State Park. We also left the island to go ski at the local ski hill which was very inexpensive and a lot of fun, although it was not terribly fancy. We had a wonderful time, the hosts were very responsive, and we would definitely go back again.
