Recent Reviews in Ellison Bay

Settlement Inn & Lavender Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Even though the complex is older, everything was very clean and well kept. The pool was extremely clean and heated to be very comfortable in mid September and was supplied with large fluffy beach towels. Rooms were supplied with small kitchenette with plates , glasses, and silverware. We did not use the fireplace but added to the ambiance. Welcomed but not expected was a nice continental breakfast with hot breakfast sandwiches, and all the traditional yogurt, bagels, cereal, and coffee. Munchies and water were in the lounge 24/7 at no charge. Plenty of parking even with a full capacity lodge. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful with directions and suggestions for dining. Staff gave a good vibe and definitely would recommend for future visits."

Open Hearth Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Pleasant staff, clean rooms. We had an enjoyable stay!"

Sister Bay Inn

"Nice affordable room"

Parkwood Lodge - Door County

8/10 Good

"Easy check in, Staff was very friendly and helpful. Parking is close by. It's very secluded and yet only a mile or so from town, the highway can be busy, but it does have a bike lane so you can ride into town and the park. there are pickle ball courts and other outside activities, and they supply the equipment if needed. Thought that was really cool. There is a fire pit with wood/matches. These are things that I never have at other places. The room was clean. Bathroom is very small and the sink is next to the beds which is kind of a weird design but not a deal breaker. All in all, I think it is a great place to stay,"

Scandinavian Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful and clean rooms excellent rooms. Beautiful walking area with a play place for kids. Will definitely stay here again when I come back to Sister Bay😊❤️"

Pine Grove Resort

10/10 Excellent

"This was our second year staying at the motel. It was even nicer this year. Room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was quite good. I like the 24/7 coffee stand, too. Happy hour very enjoyable again. We also relaxed on their private beach. Pool appeared very clean. We hope to return next fall for year three! We feel very welcomed here. Paul and Sherri B."

Gordon Lodge
