Best Place to Stay in Door County without Children

Great room of the Penthouse Suite at the Country House Resort in Door County, WI

Having stayed in a number of places in Door County over several decades (Waterbury Inn, Landmark Resort, The Settlement, etc.) we thought that the old location-location-location credo didn’t matter in an area when everything is so close.

We were wrong.

Once our kids left the nest, we discovered this family-owned, adults-only gem that has a unique location of being RIGHT on Green Bay, up a hill from a private hiking trail. Since our first visit included our dog (certain suites are dog-friendly), this was a home run.

We’ve returned many times, enjoying its proximity to Sister Bay’s waterfront, miniature golf, and restaurants, and enjoyed it so much that we rented The Penthouse for 5 nights in September of 2020 so that our two adult kids and their spouses could converge on the hotel to celebrate my wife’s 60th birthday.

The proprietor, Warren Zaug, is very hands-on but service oriented, and every year he and his staff take great care of us and all other guests. The included breakfast is very tasty, consisting of things like fresh made scones and great coffee from a local shoppe. Even during Covid, the place was packed due to following restrictions in a creative, guest-friendly way (like a manned breakfast bar with very generous portions). Finally, the place has a tennis court, horseshoes, ladder game, cornhole, and even free bicycle usage to ensure that guests can enjoy the quiet, wooded locale.

Like everything else in Door County, this isn’t a luxurious urban or beach resort. But if you are looking for a clean “Wisconsin-fancy” inn with nice suites, great views of the bay, a fantastic little walking trail, and a delicious breakfast, you cannot go wrong…and The Penthouse (we also rented a King Suite since it has only 2 bedrooms plus a foldout couch) is a fantastic spot for 2 or 3 couples to get away for a week or weekend, boasting a fireplace, huge living room, gorgeous view, full kitchen, and even an office where you can get work done without disturbing other members of the group. Wifi is free.

Until next time, Warren!
