Country House Resort

BEAUTIFUL property! Water fountains, mature trees, grassy areas, fire table, outdoor dining patio, lake view and path down to the water. Staff was all very friendly and very helpful with anything we needed. And I mean super friendly! Hot tub was gigantic, super clean and HOT! We didn’t use the pool but it looked nice and clean and was heated to 84°. There are nice bathrobes in each room to use when walking to and from the pool and hot tub which was a very nice touch and so appreciated as I walked back to the room! We were in room 410 with an excellent view of the grounds and the bay. Our king size bed was super comfy and well made with tight fitting sheets (very important ). The room was extremely clean and well appointed. I could find nothing to even improve upon. There was plenty of lighting and at least in our room, all switches had dimmers, which was actually super useful. The AC unit kept the room at the exact temp that we set it for, but it was strangely silent. I don’t think we heard it make a sound but we could feel the cool air coming out without blowing annoying wind out of it. Definitely a top notch unit and such a pleasant departure from most hotel room units. The shower had great pressure but also two shower heads available - one large rain shower and a smaller removable head. The breakfast was well stocked and similar to all hotel breakfasts with eggs, sausage or ham, a variety of breads and bagels, yogurt with Door County cherries, a meat and cheese tray (a welcome addition) and a waffle maker. They keep a cabinet in the lobby with towels and all bathroom products that you can just grab when needed, in addition to the normal option for them to service your room and replace any items you need. They also have a nice collection of DVD’s in the lobby and players in every room. I walked the path down to the water which was steep and paved and then there is a set of steps before you get to the nice dock with bench seating at the end of it. It’s a beautiful view from the dock, so highly recommend making the trek. It would be a killer coming back up (I walked to town from there so never had to come back up the hill). The dirt path to town is about a 15 minute easy walk through the woods. There are rocks and tree roots all along the path so it is probably not a good idea for someone who isn’t sure footed. The water is in view the entire time which makes it enjoyable. The resort kayak launch is on that path and the water was calm and would have been perfect for a paddle. The path seemed to end for me at the parking lot of another resort so I walked through their parking lot and ended up right at the beach area at Waterfront Park. I enjoyed my hot mocha from Happy Coffee every day of our stay in Sister Bay - it is just excellent! If you have read all of this review, you must seriously be considering this property. I will just say that we saw hundreds of other resorts, hotels and cabins while we were there but we would definitely choose Coun

This cozy, welcoming, quaint resort has all the basics for a lovely visit to Door County! The resort is located alongside the lake in Sister Bay and has a beautiful rugged walking trail just behind the Inn, which winds along a path to the marina, beach and downtown. The walk takes about 15 minutes and is a great way to start your day each morning. There are also kayaks, board games, tennis courts, corn hole boards, a pool and hot tub available for hotel guests. The rooms are very clean and the beds are comfy and are well appointed with bath robes, a small refrigerator/freezer, seating area and outdoor balcony for upgraded rooms with a lake view. A basic continental breakfast is offered in the lobby every morning with coffee and tea available throughout the day. This family run resort is a family favorite for a reason! Kids 12 and over are welcome.

Homey. We felt comfortable immediately upon arrival. We stayed in room 210, which was smaller than we are used to, but it worked out well. We had a great view. Staff, breakfast, and the pool were great as well. Other guests friendly. We would stay again. The actual lake frontage was disappointing; not as usable as i thought it would be - what the lakefront lacked, the view from our room made up for. overall, a great stay - we would return.

The staff was super friendly when we checked in. The room was nice and clean. And those cookies at check-in were really tasty. We will definitely come back.

All staff friendly and helpful. The room was beautiful. Great place to spend a quiet weekend for a birthday. Breakfast was good, glad to see the almond milk as a beverage choice.

Staff is friendly and professional. Rooms are clean and comfortable. Great view. Private balcony.

This is our second time at Country House and it won’t be our last. It’s just a tiny bit out off the Main Street (but still walkable via nature trail or side walk in 10 minutes) so it’s quiet and relaxing after spending a full day shopping, doing tours, and being around people. The rooms aren’t the most extravagant but they are well updated, maintained, and cozy! The views are STUNNING as it overlooks a clearing to the water. Great activities (yard games, board games, DVDs, bike and kayak rentals), the whirlpool is huge to relax in, and the pool is heated! The staff is always so friendly and helpful too! If you’re looking for a quiet getaway that’s peaceful, close to activities, but also not right in the middle of the action this is the place to be!

Very nice updates, good reception area, and helpful/friendly staff. Also a great location in Sister Bay.

I would recommend staying here. It's beautiful. The rooms are updated and very nice and clean. Staff is very friendly. Very comfortable.
