Who this stay suits
A low-key beach-access lodge in Sturgeon Bay with solid outdoor facilities and straightforward, smoke-free rooms.

Private beach and outdoor space
The private beach area is the centrepiece. Beyond the sand, an outdoor fireplace and dedicated furniture give guests somewhere to settle in the evening, and BBQ facilities mean you can cook outside rather than head out for every meal.
Coffee house on site
A coffee house operates on the property. It keeps mornings simple without requiring a drive into town, and it adds a social anchor to what is otherwise a fairly self-contained stay.
Rooms and bathrooms
Each room is non-smoking, air-conditioned, and has a private bathroom stocked with free toiletries. Linens and a seating area are included. The property is fully smoke-free throughout.

“Probably no better value in Door County that offers such a great view and access to the beach.”
“I wasn't expecting our lodging to be one of my favorite parts of our trip, but it honestly was. We will absolutely be back!”
“The a/c made too much noise at night so was difficult to fall asleep. Maybe it was just our room but I wouldn't let that stop me from not going back.”
“About 1/3 of the motel rooms are under construction so there is a lot of noise during the day. Customers booking online should be made aware of this.”
