My family and I have been staying at Rowleys Bay Resort for long weekends for about six years. I have two children - one in high school and one in elementary school. We sincerely enjoy all our stays at this resort. We have stayed in the lodge and in the vacation homes. All have their advantages - more room to... More

Old, overprice, uncomfortable, dirty, outdated.... need I say more. The "hot tub" was hardly warm. Do not recommend!

I was very appreciative that they let us check in a when we arrived. I love the location of Rowleys Bay Resort, and... More

We almost decided not to come here because a poor review... I can truly say THEY WERE WRONG!!! The staff was so helpful and considerate. The rooms were spotless. This is a lovely rustic lodge with such a magnificent view. We were delighted with the meals & loved the bakery. The staff even highlighted points of interest based on our... More

My husband and I took a road trip up through Door County and only needed a place to stay for one night. We reserved this place on the way after looking it up online. It was on the water but in the bay so there wasn't really anything nearby, especially not within walking distance. It was very quiet, not many... More

If you want cookie cutter modern hotel, stay home! Reminded me of the wonderful inns we would stay at during the 60's at Lake of the Ozarks. Wonderful food and vistas. Walked along the dock and enjoyed the sounds of the wind through the tall trees. Very snazzy pub. The bakery is not to be missed. For a first time... More

Overview, my husband and I are in our 30's and travel as often. I am avid reader of TA and should have trusted the negative reviews, but thought I would give it a shot. We were up in Door County for a long relaxing weekend to explore. In a nut shell, Rowleys Bay was WAY overpriced, dirty and outdated, we... More

We are very sorry you did not enjoy your stay, but would like to make a few comments on your review, as we take them very seriously. We do have fire rings and firewood available to our guests, so we aren’t sure why you didn’t feel you could make a campfire. You felt there wasn’t much to do, but we... More
