The Point: Our first cabin on Clark Lake that started it all.
When the best Clark Lake property on its own peninsula became available, we knew we had to find a way to make it ours! We couldn't be prouder to be the owners of The Point and share this slice of heaven with you. Think of it as high-end cabin comfort, with more than 1,200 feet of lakefront land and plenty of room for larger groups. Sleeps up to 15.

Porte Haven: Luxury waterfront cabin in northern Door County
Set on a Lake Michigan bluff at the very tip of the Door County Peninsula, Porte Haven feels like you're actually on a boat with views that are beyond spectacular: you see 4 islands, and the Washington Island Ferry goes by every hour. Enjoy an upscale cabin built on top of an old boathouse and hosts groups with a maximum of 6 adults (kids welcome too) and feels very private, but there's also an energy and vastness to all that's happening on the water surrounding it.

The Bay: A modern-eclectic cabin with full views of Clark Lake.
Just 10 doors down from The Point, The Bay is warm and inviting, with cozy-chic interiors, a pellet stove and fire pit, shallow swimming for kids by the dock, and an amazing and spacious deck with a farm table and patio furniture to enjoy one of Door County's unbelievable sunsets. It has everything you could want for an unforgettable lake getaway. Sleeps up to 8, maximum of 6 adults.

We can't wait to host your next family getaway!

Amazing family getaway spot!

Our stay at the A-frame cabin was unforgettable! We were two families—four adults and three kids—and the cabin suited us perfectly. Set in a stunning, peaceful location, it’s ideal for relaxing and exploring nearby attractions. The hosts have thought of every detail, providing all the comforts of home: a fully-equipped kitchen, stylish furnishings, cozy nooks, and a spacious deck with incredible views. The kids loved the open spaces, and we enjoyed both the comfort and the natural beauty surrounding us. The hosts were attentive and friendly, ensuring our stay was perfect. This cabin truly feels like a luxurious yet welcoming retreat—a fantastic spot for families, friends, or anyone seeking a serene escape with all the amenities you could need!

Memories made in DC!

Family memories made in Door County thanks to Jeremy & Caitlyn at dccabincollective.com. Sunrise over Lake Michigan from Rowley’s A-frame is amazing as is the public beach and park just a few minutes walk away. Close driving proximity to everything DC from shopping and eating to golf, breweries and music. If you’re thinking of a DC vacation or reunion contact @dccabincollective. You won’t be disappointed.

Rowleys A-frame was amazing!

We stayed in the Rowleys A-frame for an adult weekend and had a great time! The place is just what we needed and the view was stunning! Jeremy and Caitlyn have thought of everything and communicate everything you need to know before, during and after staying here. We will definitely be back!

Great trip

We had a wonderful time at Rowley’s A-frame! It’s a charming home with a great outdoor area. It’s a great place just to hang out and enjoy some time by the water while still being only a short drive to Sister Bay. The hosts were very responsive and helpful too. Great find!

Cozy getaway on the lake

My husband and I visited for our anniversary just as the weather started to warm up in the spring. We had a wonderful time in this cozy and private cabin right on Lake Michigan. The view is outstanding, and we were lucky to have our dog with us to wake us up to enjoy the sunrise. The fireplace and lakeside fire pit added to the ambience and kept us warm in cooler temps. The location was very convenient to parks and short hikes to take in the views of northern Door County.

A Beautiful Home Away from Home

Porte Haven is a stunning home with tremendous views and access to many of the coveted Door County activities. It is so close to the Washington Island ferry that you can walk there. The home is very well appointed and has some very nice modern touches that make it comfortable and inviting. Catch beautiful sunrises and sunsets at the Porte Haven. Good access to the lake, too. The host is very friendly and attentive to your needs. Their communication is superb. They have everything you need. All you have to do is show up and relax.

Quick Trip

My family came up for a two night stay at the Rowley's A-frame to celebrate my birthday. What an incredible place. Sunrise was second to none. Private beach. Kayaks. Accommodations were excellent, and the owner's were responsive and attentive throughout our stay. We brought our dogs who loved it all as well. Highly recommend!

Awesome A-Frame with an Amazing view!!

Very well kept A-Frame inside and out. Our visit was in February and the beautiful natural fireplace was perfect! The bedrooms and living space are a nice size. We were graced with a bald eagle perched in a near by tree every morning! The lake view is amazing. Lots of great amenities nearby - quick drive into downtown Sister Bay. The owners had great communication throughout our stay. There would be no hesitation rebooking this Awesome A-Frame!

Wonderful and comfortable stay at Rowley's A-frame!

We loved our time at Rowley's A-frame! Jeremy was incredibly responsive and committed to ensuring that we had a great stay. The house was comfortable and just right for our group. And the recommendations in the welcome book were spot-on! This was our first vacation that included our 2 dogs and Roweley's A-frame was the perfect place to bring them. The outdoor area was equipped with two long tie-out runs for tethering the dogs. We humans enjoyed the sailboat, the kayaks, the deck table with a view, and the comfy Adirondack chairs by the water. This is a serene, comfortable, and picturesque spot located just about a 10-minute drive from the bustle of Sister Bay. I can't say enough good things--thank you!

Our new favorite after 30 years of Door County visits.

It’s all about the water...and the quiet! Your A-Frame at Rowley’s Bay is our new favorite for time in Door County! The warm interior wood and beams by the massive fireplace are the way to watch the waves roll in and across Rowley’s Bay. And for the perfect backdrop there’s the classic boats of the fishery on the far side. It’s relaxing just to relate it. As always, Caitlyn & Jeremy have everything smartly appointed and pristinely clean with really everything anyone in the family may want. They really go out of their way to make everything work and us RELAX. Anything we did need was just a few minutes away by Mustang in Sister Bay. Thanks again for your hard work and our spectacular rest!

Perfect Getaway

As a longtime veteran vacay rental person, this one would make Scott McGillivray* proud. The needs of the renter are anticipated and the setting has been honestly presented online. No unexpected "sharing with neighbors" was a nice surprise. The tech is comfortable and appreciated, but not over the top. The towels, linens and kitchen supplies were comfortably used yet fresh, clean and coordinated. The décor was spot on, just enough interest without being overdone (thank you for minimal tchotchkes and lack of themed overkill.) Room size is decent, furniture was comfortable and the view was priceless. Location is fantastic for people who don't want immediate access to the shops and restaurants. Just the sound of the waves and the road to the town park and beach, my cup of tea. Solitude, nature, lake. Owner is available and helpful. (I have never been limited to one sentence, so pick the best one.) *Scott is host of Vacation House Rules on HGTV.

Another amazing cabin!

This was our 1st girl's weekend at Rowleys A-Frame, but as we've already stayed at The Point, The Bay and Porte Haven, we knew we'd love this cabin as well...and we were not disappointed. It was so warm, cozy and welcoming and had all the special touches the other 3 cabins have. We loved our quiet coffee time in the morning, sitting around the fireplace, and looking out at the lake. The location of this cabin is so perfect for going into Sister Bay, Bailey's Harbor, Fish Creek for shopping and dining. But we spent as much time in the cabin as we could as it was so comfortable we didn't want to leave! Our only complaint is that time always goes too fast. We are already planning our next visit...now just need to decide which Door County Cabin Collective cabin we will stay in, as we love them all!

Perfect Door County Getaway!

Rowleys A-frame offers the perfect Door County getaway. The interior was very clean and felt so cozy, yet there is enough space to host multiple families if desired. We loved the rustic yet modern feel of the cabin. The working wood fireplace was a huge plus for us since we stayed in Winter. It is located near many restaurants, wineries, and small shops. However having a fire and enjoying the amazing view may make you want to stay in. The cabin also had working WiFi and a smart tv in each of the rooms. It was a little chilly outside since it’s January in Wisconsin, but we bundled up and enjoyed listening to the waves crashing on the shore, it was my favorite part. We didn’t bring our dog this trip, but love that dogs are able to stay as well and hope to bring her with next time! Jeremy and Caitlyn were great hosts and checked in with us throughout and even after our stay to make sure everything went well and see if we needed anything. Don’t hesitate to book this lovely property, the view alone is worth it!

About the host

Hosted by Jeremy and Caitlyn Jeffery

Meet your hosts, the Jeffery family.
We believe in collecting memories, not things—and aim to create a space where you & your loved ones will want to return for years to come.

There’s no place on the planet I love more than Door County. I’m Caitlyn, wife to Jeremy and mama to two girls, Liliana and Addison. My extended family has been vacationing in Door County for more than 100 years, and I grew up making some of my all-time most-cherished memories here.

It’s an absolute dream to now get to share this place with others... To help you to plan your vacations here, slow down for a little while, and experience time together that will be looked back on warmly for years to come. Door County is something special—it’s driving distance from Chicago and several Midwestern metropolises, but it’s remote enough to feel like an escape from the regular fast pace of life. You can cozy up by a fire in one of our cabins, spend your days on the water, or explore the specialty shops, unbelievable restaurants, outdoor activities, and delightful wineries Door County has to offer. There’s truly something for everyone in Door County.

We stand for…

We stand for… Embracing rest, lake water, and time spent with your people as the best cure-all to recover from fast-paced days and jam-packed schedules.

We stand for… Creating an environment rich with opportunity to disconnect from the outside world and reconnect with loved ones.

We stand for… Taking care of all the details & essentials, so you and your family (dogs, too!) can unplug, play, relax, and make life-lasting memories at the lake, year after year.

Why they chose this property

Door County is an amazing place with top notch restaurants, wineries and so many other activities for visitors to enjoy. When you stay at Rowleys A-frame, you get the best of both worlds with lake life: boating, swimming, fishing and being close to state parks including hiking and biking trails....all while being close to everything else in the area!
