Winter and Spring Amenities
Rowleys Bay Resort offers a wide variety of lodging options as well as an on-site pool, bakery, and pub. These amenities are open mid-May through mid-October. In the late fall, winter, and early spring, these amenities are closed.
During this time of the year we’re proud to be your Northern Door County quiet retreat! We offer Woodside and Lakeside rooms in the lodge, our Suite Dreams and Oh So Suite are still available for rent. We keep the fireplace on and the lobby cozy warm. You’ll still enjoy amenities such as complimentary coffee and tea in the lobby, and WiFi throughout the lodge. You can even buy fresh frozen cinnamon rolls and pecan rolls through the front desk. Just thaw, heat if you wish, and enjoy!
There are plenty of dining options available nearby and there’s still oh so much to do. While it’s true that a lot closes down during the winter, Rowleys Bay Resort remains your waterfront peaceful retreat.
Keep an eye on our Facebook page, Instagram (and stories!), and blog for frequently updated local events, activities, and vendor hours. We update these all winter long so you can get ideas for your Door County travels.
