Waterfront Home Minutes from Sister Bay

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.

Wonderful stay in our favorite area
We had such a great time at DiSalvo House! First off, the home and property are just beautiful. They definitely put thought into every aspect of their guest’s stay. From extra blankets, pillows, and towels, clear instructions on how to use all the fun cooking toys, quick responses to questions, and so much more, it’s instantly become my favorite vacation rental in 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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Exceeded Our Expectations
The house exceeded our expectations. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook a few group meals. It was well equipped. We made pizzas one evening in the outdoor pizza oven and they turned out amazing. We rode the bikes around the neighborhood, went fishing, kayaking and played table tennis. We didn't use the kayaks since we had our own, but plan to use them and the paddle boards on our next visit. Everything at the property was top quality. The beds were comfortable and the living room with large TV allowed us to watch football games and a movie from the massive DVD collection. The lake view from the bench by the water is where we had our coffee in the morning. It was truly a wonderful experience. They really thought of everything to make the stay enjoyable. We did have some bumps in the road. We arrived the day that Rowley's Bay Resort caught fire. We weren't able to get to the property because of firetrucks and then we needed to wait for them to turn the electric back on to the property. Micah had a house lined up for us in case we couldn't get in that evening. It could have been very stressful trying to relocate 7 people, but Micah stayed on top of the situation which allowed us to enjoy an evening watching the sunset. We look forward to our next visit.

Lovely Labor Day Family Get Together
We had a wonderful 5 days at the DiSalvo Lake House over Labor Day weekend! The house was very easy to find, minutes drive to Sister Bay for groceries or Ellison Bay for a quieter vibe. Rowley's Bay provided a sheltered area for kayaking which was gorgeous. There is also a nice little county beach park about 2 miles from the house if the kids need some sand to lay in. You can also walk there on a 1 mile wooded trail behind the nearby resort. So much to do here both at the house and the area, could have stayed much longer! Micah was an outstanding host, helping by phone with the pizza oven when we were trying to light it. (The pizzas were great!) We definitely hope to return to DiSalvo Lake House in the future!

Adult Sibling Vacation Retreat at the Disalvo Lake House
My 6 siblings and I enjoyed our stay at your lake house very much! We appreciated all of the "small things" that make a difference (ample paper products, hand/dish/dishwasher soap, bathroom products, bath/kitchen towels, etc.). We would definitely choose to stay there again if we come back to Door County in the future. Two things we talked about that would enhance one's stay (for consideration)... Adding screen front and side doors to assist with the bugs coming into the lake house and a firepit. Our thanks to you for making our stay there memorable, Micah & August!

Thern Family Vacation
Our stay at the DiSalvo Lakehouse went beyond our expectations. We had a full house of 12 including 4 grandchildren. There was something for everyone. Biking, swimming, fishing, kayaking, movies, zip lining....we did it all. So wonderful to have a large kitchen and patio for cooking and grilling and the outdoor pizza oven was a hit. We are so thankful the DiSalvo family shared their family vacation home with us. We hope to go back.

Happy Birthday
Enjoyed our stay in Door County very much. Celebrated turning 70 (or so) with long time friends. Location worked awesome for playing tourist and also for quiet hiking at Newport State Park. Using the pizza oven was a learning curve, but the end result was delicious pizza! Observed eagles every day and lots of miscellaneous shore birds. Home was very well stocked, no need to run to the store. Thank you Micah for sharing your beautiful home!

Quintessential Family Vacation Home
Excellent experience! One word to describe our stay- hygge! Beautifully updated home while maintaining original charm. Kitchen was perfect for making family meals including loaves of homemade bread. We took full advantage of mild January WI weather (27 degrees)- family walk identifying animal tracks in the snow, skipping stones on the lake, and attempt at morning sunrise (cloudy) sitting on well positioned bench! Indoor time was just as fun- puzzles, cribbage, & board games kept cozy by the natural wood burning fireplace. Very responsive host! Thank you for sharing your family lake home with us DiSalvo Fam!
