Most summers, we went to the usual places. sometimes good experiences sometimes not, but when there are few spots in town, you deal with it. That is never the case here. Always friendly faces, pleasant staff and quality ingredients, goods, & service. Whether you go to the farmers market, stop by the new honeymoon house, or try our the restaurant. You won't be sorry. We live in Chicago, so we're used to the farm to table prices, and that is what you should expect here too. Recently, Matt introduced himself after recognizing us from our frequent stops, which really makes you feel good to spend your money with a business like that. My next try for season 2024 is the studio that offers different levels of yoga. ! See you next year!

The Italian Salad was advertised to have olives and salami. Those are apparently infused into the dressing. The Wild Rice and pork belly entree was very spicy.

It was complete with linens and a full kitchen stocked with dishes. Definitely rustic but the entire island is. Fire pits, kayaks, rowboats, grills, playground, and stone beach all available to use for no extra charge! Next time we plan to try fishing here! Really can't say enough good about this place and the Gibsons.

Gibson's Resort was like a summer house to me for the first 10 years of my life! We would come up…read morehere every summer for about a week and spend time out on the Island. If you have never been to Washington Island, it is a real treat. It is totally different from the hustle and bustle that city live requires. I don't remember ever staying anywhere else besides Gibson's since we have been coming up here. Herb and his family have always been extremely nice to my family in welcoming us into their home. Essentially, that is what Gibson's is. There home. The resort used to be an old loggers house. About 20 rooms fill the top of the house, all complete with the exactly what you need for your stay - a bed and a dresser. No bathroom you say? Correct! That's what the outdoors are for.. Just kidding. There is a bathroom, but it is located towards the end of the hall. There is a men's washroom and a women's washroom, complete with a stand up shower and sink (and toilet). If you are looking for the following: *Luxury *Air conditioned splendor *Suites or executive style beds *Continental Breakfast You will not find those here. What you will find is peace, quiet and one of the most beautiful views of Lake Michigan you have ever seen, at an affordable price. As well as the rooms, Gibson's offers several cabins to rent as well, however, if you are looking to book a cabin, you better know you need one about a year and a half in advance because that's how far out the bookings are! If you just want to enjoy the beauty of Washington Island without breaking your bank, Gibson's is the way to go. It's old fashioned, it's beat up, but it feels like home.

One evening, we sat by the fire with other guests, and the experience proved transformative. The crackling flames created a natural gathering point where conversation deepened without effort. Their warmth matched the firelight, and we felt genuinely welcomed. This shared experience fostered a real sense of belonging. Another time we were sitting in front of our room and a couple that brought their entire family welcomed us and we sat and spoke for at least 90 minutes. We learned about their story, where they came from, and why they came to The Town Liner every year. The next morning, our walk on the closed loop rewarded us with an unexpected gift: two deer suddenly bounded across the field in perfect synchronization. That moment reminded us to slow down and trust what the landscape offered. What sets this place apart is the hosts' attentiveness to detail and genuine care for guests. They transformed a simple getaway into something truly memorable. We'll return.

I called the Dor Cros on a direct line in the mainland ferry terminal. They had one last room! I booked it over the phone, and we caught the next boat over. At check in, the owner, was AMAZING. he had made a personal map of the island with highlighted attractions for us to choose from. He made a list of the local restaurants and business that told us their hours, menus, and payment options.. Needless to say, we were surprised and used them extensively. As we went to our cabin, there was a little personal note typed up on the bed wishing us a happy stay. I know it may sound chinsey, but that was the topping on the sundae. This place is cute, affordable, has a great location, nice amenities (fire-pit with wood, free if somewhat worn bikes for daily use) and personal attention from owners that really enjoy what they do. Yes, the rooms are dated and small, but they are also cozy, comfortable, and charming. I told the girl we might need to make this a regular visit...

I liked the fact it had a fireplace and ample amount of pre chopped wood, though being summer we didn't use it. The property itself is wonderful with a great view over the water next to the campfire. The owner seemed friendly and helpful and over all, it was a great experience. Some kind of internet access would have been nice, but I understand that isn't the reason most people visit the island!

I swept immediately, would have been nice if they had a blower and cleaned it. The cabin is definitely old. Kitchen cabinets not secure. Floor worn out. But beds were clean and comfortable.

Also, you need to walk across the large front lawn to get to the lake. Lawn wasn't mowed and was atleast 3 inches high. They should upgrade cabins and take care of outside to make this resort a bit more comfortable.

Great golf course!

Adventure Island Miniature Golf- 18 challenging holes * Pub and Grill The course itself is beautiful with open fairways and no houses or buildings to really worry about. It is a great course for beginners as well because if you are golfing during the week, and the Island isn't busy, you can spend your time working on your game! Prices are decent, and they have morning/twilight rates too!
