Our family has been enjoying this place for a few years now. We keep coming back because we love the house, porch, dock and beautiful location.

This proved to be just the family time and place we were looking for. Slow days, incredible sunsets, swimming at the Town park beach, fishing, preparing food together and relishing the conversation. The house was perfect. Incredibly well stocked, and the house itself so well thought out for sleeping, eating, reading ( the library, for kids and adults, was on point!) and relaxing was just so wonderful. The screened porch alone was worthy of so much time spent looking over the Lake and the other islands. Our thanks to Theresa and her family and caretaker for creating and sharing an almost magical place on the island.

Memorial weekend for our mom we lost last year . Spending time with family reminiscing and making memories was quiet, peaceful ,spacious We loved it very comfortable would definitely come back

We have been to Madeline Island several times now, and this was our second time to go during the winter. We love it there in the winter because things are calm and quiet and beautiful with snow blanketing the trees. On my morning runs down the snowy lane, I scarcely saw any other person. It was just the peaceful retreat we were looking for. The home is cozy, clean and quiet, set far enough back off the road that you really feel like you are all alone in this winter wonderland. There was plenty of firewood at the house so that we could keep a roaring fire going. This was great for family game nights as well as cooking s’mores in the evening. There was plenty of space for our family of 10 to spread out and plenty of activities in the house to keep them occupied. My youngest kids really loved the rock climbing wall in the basement. Ironically, although we can never get them to practice at home, they also really enjoyed playing the piano in the basement. There were lots of books to read and lots of board games to play. The kitchen was well stocked, and we really did not lack anything we needed. As far as other activities, we rented snowshoes and went hiking in big bay State Park. We also left the island to go ski at the local ski hill which was very inexpensive and a lot of fun, although it was not terribly fancy. We had a wonderful time, the hosts were very responsive, and we would definitely go back again.

Very easy

We had a girls trip and this place was perfect. We loved watching the sunset on the dock

Our stay was absolutely amazing. Extremely wonderful home and property. Excellent for a family with children. Loved the lake and dock area. The kids had a blast. Screened in porch beautiful. Kitchen amazing. Yard accommodated our badminton games. Fires in the evening and a grill for dinner. There is nothing but positives. We so enjoyed. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.

Our week on Madeline Island was made perfect by our stay at the Rendezvous house. It was beautiful from top to bottom, inside and out. My one regret was not bringing a baby gate for our youngest travelers. The various sets of steps made for some added anxiety for this mom. But overall, a wonderful experience that we will happily do again!!

Staying here is a special experience. We hope to return every year.

Beautiful property…especially watching the sunsets from the wrap-around porch with the islands as a back drop. Everything you need at your fingertips.

We had a great time—property was beautiful and spacious and the owner was great to work with! Just a few tips for future guests: I would say we spent most of our time hanging out at the property itself (hanging out on dock, beach, campfire, grilling, chatting, playing cards, screen porch). It’s a perfectly serene setting with absolutely no noise from neighbors, etc and a great place to relax and hang out with friends and family. If you feel the urge to explore a bit, a few things that we found were: 1) For boat tours of the islands we ended up going to bayfield rather than the tours on the island since they were significantly cheaper and had much more availability. Tour was overall good, but most of our tour was spent getting to Devils Island and going back. Devil’s island is really cool, so if we did it again we’d try to find a tour on a speedboat that went directly there (not sure if such a thing exists) 2) If you go into bayfield, recommend catching breakfast at the Manypenny Bistro. 3) It’s worth checking out big bay state park. Cool hiking trails. 4) We couldn’t find Kayak rentals on the island, looks like just Kayak tours. 5) We brought our own bikes, although there is also bike rental. Be aware that there are generally no dedicated biking trails on the island, so you will be sharing road with cars. Not a problem for the most part since it is very low traffic but not great for little ones. (We left the little ones home with grandparents while we went out).

Stayed over the 4th of July with friends and family. 9 adults total and there was plenty of room for everyone & to spread out as well. Very cozy and well stocked with everything you could need. Everyone felt comfortable.

Very nice property! Hosts were easy to communicate with.. would love to stay here again someday!

This was a wonderful property for our large family. So much thought was put into making our stay comfortable. Would recommend this property.

Great property, easy to work with, and simple check-in/check-out. We'll be back.

MAGICAL

Our family has rented this home several times. We really enjoy visiting the island during all seasons. Winter is very quiet and peaceful. Cooking, wine, books, and games. Snowy hikes and walks on wooded trails and along Big Bay Beach. Rendezvous cottage never disappoints, and we will be back. Thank you Theresa!

We absolutely loved our time at the Rendezvous cabin. The home was truly a perfect spot for our family of three generations—grandparents, parents, and a toddler. There was plenty of space for us to spread out, comfortable beds, warm bedding, extra bath/beach towels, a well-stocked kitchen, loads of children’s books, plus a STUNNING view of Lake Superior. We loved swimming, biking, hiking, and exploring the island. The extra dishwasher and double washer/dryer are such a nice perk, too. We can’t wait to return again! Fabulous property, you won’t be disappointed!

Sunset on the dock, drinks on the porch, a friendly dog from next door, full gourmet kitchen, great bed linens and beds, this welcoming house has a heart!

Amazing property with everything we needed and more. We were on the island for our daughters wedding. They have a vacation home on the island and had their wedding on their property so my husband and I and some of our family stayed at this beautiful home for the Labor Day weekend. The beds were comfy and so much space and different areas of the house for all of us to hang out. The kitchen was fully supplied and we couldn’t have asked for more. Great time had by all. Thank you!!

We had a wonderful extended family get-away at this property. We loved the screened in porch in the morning and evenings. The kitchen and the large dining table were great for cooking and eating family dinners. Couldn't have asked for anything more. Highly recommended.

What an amazing place to relax for a week. The screened in porch and huge dock made this stay worth every penny. The house was absolutely beautiful and clean and had everything we needed and more! The two dishwashers were unexpected and extremely helpful for our large group. The owners were very responsive and helpful. Make sure to bring any spices you may need to prep food including salt and pepper.

The Rendezvous on Madeline Island is absolutely wonderful! It is gorgeous, has fabulous views and accommodates lots of people. We have stayed many times and just love it. There is lots of space for everyone, has a gorgeous well-equipped kitchen, a fun dock and amazing sunset views over Lake Superior. I cannot recommend enough!

Very pleasant, comfortable, clean home with a great dock and view of Lake Superior.

This thoughtfully crafted and well-curated home, built with an eye AND feel for just this sort of multi-generational family gathering proved to be the perfect place for our family reunion. This long-delayed celebration brought four generations to Madeline Island for a week of celebrations and introductions to the newest member of our clan! The cool waters, beautiful vistas and hiking and sparkling sunsets proved just the additional tonics for everyone. You won’t regret choosing Rendezvous Cottage for your family memory making retreat!

Our family of 13, adults, children, grandchildren, had a wonderful time on Madeline Island. The house was perfect for us. A big table for family meals, great porch for watching sunsets over the lake, and the children loved jumping off the dock to swim.

Our family celebrated 3 milestone anniversaries! We had a fantastic time! The home was everything you could hope for in cleanliness and roominess and amenities! Theresa you were super to work with and we appreciate you! A truly lovely home! Thank you for sharing it with us!

The property was absolutely perfect for our family. Plenty of space, kitchen worked wonders to handle our meal needs, and we loved chats on the enclosed porch and around the fire place.Theresa was on top of communication and helped with all our questions. All in all a memorable family vacation! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

We held our small wedding ceremony at this cabin and could not have asked for a more beautiful spot. The weather was absolutely perfect for an outdoor ceremony and our families enjoyed relaxing together. The cabin is plenty big enough for two families of adults, with both private space and common gathering areas. Thank you for your patient answers to all our questions. We hope to be back here next year!

My husband, I, our 3 children, their spouses, and our nine grandchildren spent a week at this great house. We have been to Bayfield/Madeline many times but stayed on the Island the entire week. Loved this property - had a great kitchen! Cooked, baked, did art projects, hiked, biked and many water activities, every night around the campfire. I might say that although this did not apply to our family - the property should indicate that the walk to the beach might be difficult for some people. Cant say enough about how much fun we had. THANKS

4 adults, 2 older teens, and 3 10 year olds stayed for 3 days and loved every part of it. The house is beautiful and has everything you need. Beds are really comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked. Will for sure try to stay again.
