About this cottage rental

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. Designed by Dale Mulfinger of SALA Architects, and featured in his book, Family Cabin (https://www.tauntonstore.com/the-family-cabin#collateral-tabs)

This is our second time staying at this amazing home, and everything was great. Our first night there, we viewed the Northern Lights. We woke all 5 grandkids (ages 3-14) and all sat on the dock and watched in awe. What a way to start the week! This property has everything we needed to enjoy our time together. We all want to go back! Thank you so much.

This was our third time staying. We go almost every year and have stayed at many phenomenal homes on the island, but this is far and away our favorite. The home is incredibly well thought-out for groups and very comfortable. The porch, the dock, the sunsets...it's just magical.

Fabulous place for our family to gather to enjoy each other and the gorgeous area. Our group ranged in age from 5 to 85. We had as many as 14 people there at once, although all were not able to stay the whole week. The kids loved the basement playroom and the great pier on the lake, as did the adults. So many wonderfully appointed bedrooms, lots of getaway spots, spacious dining table. And then the wraparound screened porch and the unbelievable kitchen! This is a truly special house!!!

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.
