Beautiful historic property in a great location. A couple of things kept me from giving 5 stars...we could not bolt the main door from the outside as the mechanism was loose and stayed that way our whole stay. The dishwasher did not work and neither did the direct TV remote in the living room. For the rental price I expect everything with the property to work.

13 of us including grands down to the littles spent 3 nights here to enjoy the fall colors of Door County. This location was great, far from the traffic on the east side but an easy short drive over to Sister Bay for their fall festival. The house is charming. Most were happy with their bedrooms, the group staying above the garage were not as pleased. The room was large but the bathroom was not as pleasing as the others. The great room in the main house is cozy, inviting & filled with original art & decorative pieces that make you feel instantly at home. Great Sonos sound system and plenty of toys for the 2 little ones. We hired a photographer for family photos and there were many scenic areas on the property for her snap away. The owners have a special place at Rocky Bottom Lodge. Located on a dead end street with plenty of space between neighbors. Prior instructions did not include a clear means to enter the cottage boat house. The management company was attentive and we had entry instructions after a couple phone calls.

The house was dirty with lots of cobwebs, filthy rugs and and old cereal under beds. Shower curtains disgusting. Shower drain clogged so shower water went above the ankles. A toilet was also clogged when we arrived, but we found a plunger. The living room sofa must have fallen off a garbage truck. Multiple light bulbs out and pitch black outside at night. House was overrun with flies. The sleeping rooms are in 3 different buildings. The beds old and tired. The mattress in the boathouse sofa bed too thin for the adults in our group. Towels threadbare and dirty. Only after you pay your non refundable deposit do they send an onerous lease with so many penalty provisions that you’ll spend your last day cleaning everything. There are very few fire alarms for a log house and at least one I tested didn’t appear to work. The dryer vent looks like a fire hazard and the balcony railing appears too short to provide safety in case you lose your balance. The location is nice and the house has a lot of potential but the maintenance and management needs work. The owner should have an inspector look at the place to make sure that it has no code issues. VRBO should also look into the practice of allowing undisclosed supplemental leases without recourse to get a refund after reviewing it.

We loved RBL. There were 11 of us and the accommodations were clean, comfortable for all! The kitchen is well equipped ,so that made preparing meals much easier. The yard and view is amazing,so we were outside at the firepit mornings and evenings. RBL was perfect for our family to get away to. A huge thank you to the owners and Door County Property Management.

Plenty of room for our 4 family group to spread out and yet be together. Kitchen is small and table only seats 8, but both issues are very workable. Boathouse is amazing! Bonus room above garage is very spacious with plenty of room for kids to play, not just sleep. Yard is huge; bring toys for the kids! (Caution for families with small children: the railing in the bonus room is wide-spaced and small children could fall through. Plan to move furniture in front of it or bring extra child gates for safety.) Only issue we had was with washer at end of stay, but property management company gave us a solution. We would definitely come again!

A perfect spot to relax yet still being close to all Door has to offer
What an amazing property! The old charm of this home is a site in itself equipped with more space then I was expecting for people to spread out and relax. Tennis courts were in great condition as was the entire property. The kitchen cooking/dining area might be a tad small for a larger group to mingle in but it worked fine for our group of 6. The boat house is AMAZING, pretty sure my life would be more balanced if I could sip my coffee from this spot every morning.

The property is very lovely, esp. the fire pit area. We were here for 4 nights and had a fire every night - even the night it rained. On the clear nights we had an awesome view of the moon coming up over the lake. The boathouse was also very nice and so convenient. However we had some problems that made us unhappy with the house. The upstairs bedroom with the queen bed was extremely small - barely enough room to walk around the bed. The shower stall in the garage bathroom was very unsightly and should be replaced. The requirement that the towels be washed and in the dryer by check-out at 10 a.m. is unreasonable. We also had a lot of trouble getting into the house thru the door off the patio - the lock jammed several times. The lock into the boathouse was also very difficult to operate. I did send a list of problems and concerns to the management company but have heard nothing back from them.

I have been going to Door County all of my life and this is by far the BEST place to stay!!!! The property is absolutely beautiful!!! The house is very spacious, with a warm cabin feel. Every evening we had a campfire next to the water and watched the sun rise over Lake Michigan. The location is very close to Egg Harbor, Sister Bay and Fish Creek. This house feels like home and we can’t wait to go back!

Tons of Charm
Loved the setting of this property with a gorgeous view of the water. Lots of green space for kids and pets to play. House has tons of charm. My girls enjoyed the bunk house over the garage as their own little space to play and sleep. We were very comfortable and had plenty of room. Plenty of common space as well as bedrooms. Was very clean with nice, new provided linens and towels. Loved the fire pit setting. I would definitely stay at this cabin again.

Great cottage, Great vacation
We stayed at this chapel lane cottage for my 30th birthday. There were 5 couples and we had plenty of room. The property was so charming and the view was spectacular! The interior was beautifully decorated and very clean! The previous reviews do not do this place justice! This was such a great vacation and we can't wait to go back!!

Rocky stay
The exterior and grounds at Rocky Bottom are lovely and the interior of the home has lots of character. Upon closer inspection the charm fades. The house was dirty and there were lots of bugs both dead and alive. The kitchen cabinets had a very musty order. There was evidence of mice. The linens were in desperate need of replacing, some of the towels being in shreds. There were no washcloths or soap povided. The sofa bed in the boathouse was unbearable, and the refridgerator in the boathouse did not work.
We were also disappointed that we were not able to fish or swim from the dock due to low lake level.
If you come with the mindset of "cabin camping" it doesn't seem too bad.

Had a Great Time
The house is great, lots of room and the rooms are laid out to provide some privacy. The view of the lake is beautiful. It has a nice sized yard if you want to play some outdoor games. Got lots of use out of the fire pit. It's also a great place to bring your bike. Only a short ride to downtown Bailey's Harbor.
Only things that weren't so great was the sofa bed in the boat house, not very comfortable, and the shoreline. I went out and bought aqua socks as the description suggested but the shore and several yards out was a very nasty green soup.
I would highly recommend this place for a get away, just don't plan on taking a dip in the lake.

My family stayed at the house, it had some good features but smelled musty inside. The boat house was beautiful but the sofa bed was broke and terribly uncomfortable. There are also no window treatments so if you plan to sleep in there, plan to be up early in the morning! There were spider webs & bugs in the corners all over, the housekeeping could have been a little better. Oh and if you plan to bring your pet, the book in the house says you can't let is urintate or poop on the property, you have to walk it down the road. How is thqat for convenient! Yes you can bring your dog but you have to walk down the road to let it relieve itself, how stupid!
