About this property

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.

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!

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.

Serenity on the lake

Beautiful property on the lake. Loved watching the sun rise over the lake every morning while having coffee on the deck. Great star gazing, too! Over the course of the week, we were a party of 7-9. The kitchen and outdoor grills were really well appointed for our family meals at home. The quality appliances and mattresses- made for a comfortable stay. We also used the family games, kayak, water toys and, of course, the hammock. Hosts were communicative and provided lots of suggestions for area activities. We had a great week!

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.

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.

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.

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!
