The front desk person at checking was great to chat with. The coffee shop it had attached is a nice amenity in this small community. The rooms were clean. They are older, but it matches the small community it is in. We stayed 2 nights. Only one suggestion, maybe put regular coffee mugs in the room and access to hot water in the office.

What a cool overnight spot!! What a view - what a surprise!…read more The Square Rigger Lodge was wonderful. This newly renovated, family owned lodge has so much small town charm, you just don't want to leave. I woke just before sunrise to dim light, a slight overcast and quiet waves hitting the sandy beach just 40-50 yards from the back porch seating! There is a slight trail that will guide you past and around a local house that is perched right on the beach. Don't be afraid to walk past it, the lodge owns beach access and the neighbors have learned to live with it (We confirmed the route to access the beach [Right in front to us] with the lodge owner) Hubby made our plans to travel to WI just a week before we arrived! He tried to have us stay near or very near Lake Michigan and Green Bay. So, we embarked on five different locations for five individual nights. This was our third overnight, our second on the peninsula. What a wonderfully peaceful evening. The best word I can use to describe the lodge is just "peaceful". I say this to be clear-- People woke to just sit quietly out back amidst the view - but since I could not be quiet, I sought out someone to share the experience with. We found, we enjoyed!! Rooms seemed recently renovated- and that is my presumption since the owner said they just took over a year or so ago. Bathroom floors were new, as was the paint and the texturized walls. The decor is simple and muted, but not unflattering. The beds were comfortable and pillows extra fluffy!! Towels were fluffy and bed linens were super white and clean. There was a coffee shop on site called "A Little Bit of Coffee" which featured the Door County Coffee brand and boasted a variety of their flavors. We truly enjoyed this cute, little hotel and look forward to staying there for several days on our next visit to Wisconsin.

Wow! Not really sure how they stay in business, other than the super high demand for lodging in…read moreDoor County prime season. Even then, it seemed the place had few guests, and we were able to book just a couple weeks before - almost unheard of in Door County in late July. Service is non-existent. There was a teenager at the front desk to check us in -- the ONLY time we saw ANY other staff was Thursday evening when the bartender was locking up (at 7:00). No one made up rooms or exchanged linens - linen closet was left open for us to help ourselves. Sign on front desk said it was staffed ONLY from 9AM to 2 PM, but even with those short hours we never saw anyone in our four-nite stay. Restaurant is closed (again, PRIME SEASON) - bar is open only a couple nites per week, and then only 2-7 PM. No one available in case of emergency. Everything is REALLY outdated. Smells musty, with dehumidifier/air-conditioning units running full blast in both rooms of our suite when we arrived. Bathroom has been updated, but rest of the room is dark and gloomy. Window curtains are very sheer, so you better like waking up with the sunrise. Wi-fi is pretty weak, only one small TV. It was good to find a room on fairly short notice, and we had a very active four days with little time in the room, so it was "adequate" - but NOT someplace we'll stay again.

She gave us good recommendations for restaurants and things to do in the area. The grounds are very well kept and every cabin has a view of the lake. We stayed 4 nights in September in cabin #4; the a view from the living room is included. Try Sister Bay Bowl for a wonderful fish dinner and be sure to climb the tower in Peninsula State Park. The tower was recently rebuilt and includes a ramp to accommodate strollers and wheelchairs. The White Gull Inn, just down the street, has won awards for their stuffed french toast. The Cottages are in the heart of Fish Creek so walking to your favorite destination is very convenient.

I am uncertain where to commence. My brother-in-law invited me to join him for a short getaway, and…read morethe experience was thoroughly disappointing. To begin with, the accommodation lacked any hot water entirely, rendering showering impossible, and the hot tub was also therefore useless. Furthermore, the presence of mold and mildew was evident, and predictably, I suffered allergic reactions, respiratory irritation, and ultimately, lung infections, which necessitated our early departure due to respiratory distress. Although a dehumidifier was provided, its filter was clogged, and despite my attempts to clean it with cold water, I discovered substantial mold growth in the unit itself. Upon inspecting the collection bucket, I found it to be in a deplorable state. When we opened the windows, we were greeted by an influx of lake flies, only to discover that the screen had become detached from the frame, which was also warped, allowing house flies to enter alongside the lake flies. Additionally, the stove was dirty, with aluminum drip bowls caked with burnt oil, which seemed like a simple matter to rectify with new replacements of four available at a reasonable cost of $12 at any Walmart. The uneven flooring, exacerbated by the addition of new vinyl over old, presented another issue, and the flooring's appearance was unappealing, potentially due to the poorly chosen color. The overall condition of the furnishings was decrepit, with the stained and smelling faux suede sofa being particularly ill-suited for high-traffic use. I also noted that the plumbing's exposed pipes detracted from the ambiance. Regrettably, the accommodation appears worn out and in dire need of renovation. The breakfast was subpar, and the provision of instant coffee was disappointing. While there are potential positives in its excellent location and pleasant grounds, I must advise against booking here until significant refurbishments are undertaken.

We recently stayed for 3 nights at the Shallows resort with our two kids…read more Pros: great location with beautiful views of Lake Michigan, private beach for Shallows' guests, free firewood with pits and free canoe/kayaks available. Cons: hot tub was not working during our stay, rooms are badly in need of updating (for example, the light on the air conditioner kept the room fully lit up at night, weak Wi-Fi, no black out curtains, etc.) and the worst thing is that our toilet got plugged and there was no plunger on site! The solution was to use the pool bathroom for the night/day. What?! This could be a really desirable property with the setting, but they really need to invest more into the property to provide basic conveniences for travelers.

The condos are nicely decorated and very clean. There is basic kitchen cookware and utensils. They always have Door County coffee, which is really good. I like the big jetted bathtub in the bathroom. There is also a shower. This resort is off the beaten path but that is what I love about it. Every room has a view of the lake. The beach and resort grounds are very nice. I like to enjoy the open windows and patio doors to hear the waves. There is a small indoor pool and hot tub. Both are nice. And clean. The restaurant right next door is amazing.
