The Boathouse at Rock Harbor Cottages
Very relaxing stay at the Boathouse at Rock Harbor Cottages. The owner Brad was very friendly. We spent the majority of our stay there outside enjoying the views. Would definitely recommend this property.

Perfect, romantic fall getaway
From oversized tub to gorgeous views and scenery, it was a perfect getaway for my husband and me. The weather was also perfect, which helped! The place is small, but very well organized, and very comfortable, and literally three steps from the water, we brought our kayak and enjoyed the personal dock. Owners were very responsive, responsive to our communications.

It is small but so peaceful and right on the water. The inside is perfect. Beautiful sunsets! The tub is to die for. Bobbers restaurant is within walking distance, very friendly, not pricy, and excellent food. Fresh Walleye and Perch!

AMAZING destination
My husband and I had an amazing stay at this little cabin, it was the perfect size for us! It was right on the water, the view was fabulous! Just sitting outside watching the boats and people on jet skis was so relaxing. So close to the ferry for Kelly's Island and lots of great restaurants and ice cream places too! HIGHLY recommended!

Relaxing day trip
We absolutely loved this house. We have already discussed returning for a longer stay. We only spend one night, but we fell in love. It was so relaxing to sit inside and watch out the sliding glass door at the water and the boats going by. We had some family stop over and enjoyed sitting out at the table. The queen size bed on the first floor was very comfortable. We only popped up to look at the loft, but it looked like a cozy place to sleep. The bathroom was huge and there was tons of places to store our belongings. Will definitely go back.

Great Getaway
Fantastic little boat house. Had an excellent stay and actually appreciate the requirement to bring your own linens. Place was clean, neat, easy access and climate control worked even in cold weather; we stayed warm! Wifi is a must for working couples and had no issues with access or the internet TV. Would definitely stay again and already looking at summer '22 bookings. Thanks for a great weekend!

Fishing and Relaxing Fun
We had a wonderful time in the beautiful little boat house! It is beautifully done, the view is lovely, the jetted tub feels great at the end of the day, as does the comfy bed. Our dogs and we enjoyed hanging out on the dock fishing and eating and drinking. Sunny even took a swim. One day we went out fishing on Brad's boat. Although the fish were not super cooperative, we caught enough for dinner. Brad is a great captain and we had a wonderful time with him. He even cleaned the fish for us and the Crow's Nest restaurant cooked them. They were delicious. We will be back next year!!! Fran and Andy

Great View and a nice job on this total remodel of an historic boat house. You can't get any closer to the water or the romantic and soothing sounds of the lake! This cute little home is the cure for what ails you, well equipped and stocked with the essentials but also with a HUGE jetted tub to soak away those troubles!

Great place with a beautiful view!
We loved our stay! The place is clean, well laid out and has a view that's hard to beat! The owners of the property checked in with us to make sure everything was alright and that we were happy. There places to go and eat, walk along the shoreline. The best part,, sitting out back watching the sun set and the sun rise!! We will be returning! Definitely 5 STARS!
