Went in yesterday, a Wednesday, around 4:30P with my family…read more We gave our three year old a small toy to occupy herself. After about twenty minutes, my husband asked the only woman working if we could carry in food from next door. She said yes, but try to limit the toys. My husband asked her to repeat herself because he didn't hear her and she said, just try to keep it down on the toys, we have people trying to read. We were surprised that a wine bar warranted that kind of comment. If it's a coffee shop, library, book store, then OK. But a wine bar? We left and went next door to Thyme. I'd recommend that place if you're interested in an activity outside of reading quietly.

Our party of 3 all had different wines, I had a Cabernet and it was one of the most delicious wines I've had in recent memory. I also tried a sparkling wine my wife was having and the essence of almond made it even better. In addition the setting outside was very relaxing. They have some oak casks in a display surrounded by flowers and grasses, so you are surrounded by nature along with music that enhances the atmosphere. Our server did a great job taking care of us. We were able to really enjoy the service and relax. We definitely will be returning on our next visit to Door County!

But when twenty years go by and we are still hitting on dirt; yes dirt then time to admit it's run down. Sand traps are beaten up too. Carts have tape on the seats. Also there is no fairway. It's all rough the entire course! T boxes are the same rough cut too. I think I'm getting my point across? Went again and granted there isn't really a fairway, the staff as usual is great and the carts have improved. Still a good time but could improve conditions. We noticed the course is good if lots of rain, otherwise beat up.

The greens were absolutely fantastic and true. Rival any course in Madison. Fairways were not maybe 5 star caliber but surely decent enough to hit good shots and some were tight and challenging.

No drinks, no "we will be with you shortly" or anything. We just sat there. Finally a server came over and said they had a big group come in and it was causing some backup and the host should have told us; he didn't. The drinks and appetizer came quickly and the street corner appetizer was very good; I would order it again. Once the appetizer was finished we sat with empty glasses for a good while. Again, no communication. Once the food arrived, things got much better. Wraps were good, not great. My daughter's pizza was good. With all the restaurants in the area, they will need to up their game on service.

I went to Door County Fire for dinner last night. I started with the seafood chowder which was…read morepretty good. I think I might pass on it in the future. For the main course, I ordered the browned butter Walleye. I've never eaten Walleye before, but I definitely will going forward. It was beyond delicious! Somewhat sweet. The browned butter glaze was amazing! You should do yourself a favor and try it! I chose mashed potatoes, which were real and delicious. It came with some gravy because, well, its potatoes. Gotta live some, lol. It also came with some bread that, if it wasn't homemade, I'd be very surprised. Lastly, there was some cole slaw, which, while I'm not a gan, I think most people would enjoy. The server could not have been nicer. Very friendly and helpful. Overall, great place! I can't wait to go back.

We were here for a wedding and it is such an amazing, gorgeous spot! It's an old barn converted to…read morean art gallery with event spaces outside and inside. Just beautiful! During the reception we were able to wander through the art which was a nice experience. And I don't know how much the Gallery had to do with the food service and all that, but it everything about this wedding was absolutely seamless and absolutely on time. The food was amazing. My only quibble is that the seating was super tight for dinner. It felt like we were right on top of one another, but again, that's completely minor. The grounds are fantastic native grasses and flowers. I just can't get over how wonderful the entire experience was as a wedding guest.

Buyer Beware! I…read moremuch prefer to write positive reviews but we trusted these guys and they so abused our trust that I feel we should warn others. The Hillside Waterfront Hotel is not really an hotel. More like a poorly run Airbnb'? The basic functions of even the most modest hotel are conspicuously absent. At check in there was no one there to greet us, answer questions, help us orient to the area or even help us with our luggage. When we reached out for help via their phone number they were unresponsive for an entire day and when we followed up at the end of day our host chose this moment to make it clear she had more important things to do than respond to guest questions. Perhaps this kind of attitude is typical of Ephraim, Wisconsin? Other things to know: We booked a suite which turned out not to be a suite. Any seasoned traveler will know the difference. They told us they were in very high demand at the height of the fall season but the hotel was empty but for one older couple. Makes sense now. Talking of that couple we only noticed them because the lady nearly fell down the stairs backwards as she struggled upstairs with her bags. Only hosts who don't care about their guests would allow that possibility. The plumbing is terrible. The sink didn't drain properly and the toilet blocked on first use (Not our fault! We know how to care for older plumbing) and of course there was no one on hand to help us The house smells of mold. Old houses sometimes do, but it this is especially bad. Our room was infested with biting bugs! In conclusion, Door County is a stunning area and not to be missed. The same cannot be said for the Hillside Waterfront 'Hotel'.

Workout facility and a few trail paths. When we stayed a few weeks ago there was a wedding there and it was a little busy with all these guests. Our room didn't get cleaned on first day so we told the front desk the next morning and it really wasn't that big of a deal but they cleaned it by the time we got back and Stephanie Swain the director of operations left us a personal written note apologizing for the inconvenience and gave us complimentary bottles of wine! Such a sweet person and a great gesture. We love this place and so highly recommend! Some of the regular rooms in the main lodge face Lake Michigan and have cute patios. Very charming!

My partner and I spent the first weekend of October in Door County to celebrate my birthday,…read morestaying at Gordon Lodge for one night. We typically stay in Fish Creek, but since we booked our trip only a week in advance, there were no available accommodations there. We decided on Bailey's Harbor instead, which is just a 20-minute drive from Fish Creek, offering stunning views of the lake, surrounding nature, and charming villages along the way. I paid $200 for one night in a Trailside One Bedroom Suite, which featured an apartment-style layout with a queen bed, a pull-out sofa in the living room, a full kitchen, parking, and a lovely view of the wooded trail area. The room was spacious and clean, providing a cozy, cabin-like atmosphere that was more than enough for two people. The property itself is absolutely beautiful, with walking trails, stunning views of Lake Michigan, and a peaceful, secluded ambiance. It also offers a dock, beach area, hot tub, and pool, all surrounded by majestic pines. We were able to easily walk to the water, the breakfast hall, and other areas of the property. During our stay, we also noticed a small wedding taking place, adding to the charming atmosphere. The only thing preventing me from giving a 5-star review is the quality of the breakfast. It was typical of a basic hotel breakfast--scrambled eggs made from powdered eggs, cereal, coffee, juice, and so on. As someone who loves breakfast, it would have been a nice touch to have freshly made scrambled eggs and hashbrowns, which would have really elevated the experience for me. Overall, I'm excited to return in the summer to take advantage of the outdoor pool, hot tub, beach area, dock, and outdoor seating. I'm also looking forward to trying the restaurant on the property next time.

Miserable wilted salad with "Italian" dressing that was just a cup of olive oil that showed up after the entree. Baked chicken with a sprinkle of garlic powder on top. Nothing under $25 on the menu coz they want to be "upscale". Great - can I have a martini? Not only do they not know how to make it - when I explain it they don't have vermouth. So much for classy. I'll try back in July - maybe they will have their shit together by then.
