Excellent customer service, appreciated the vintage touches to honor the history of the location. Not a lot of food options and bar closed early (8 PM?) so we dined elsewhere throughout our stay.

The hotel was old fashioned which I found charming. The property was nice to look at. We did not use the golf course, but it looked well maintained.The rooms were clean, however one our the lamps in my room was in a corner with no outlet and was unusable. Our room had direct tv and a large flat screen tv, but no remote which made watching tv more difficult.
I shared a joining room with friends, but they did not have their own bathroom or tv and needed to walk through our bed area to use either item.
Overall, I would return to the lodge during a different season where i could utilize more outdoor amenities.

We liked the history of the lodge. It was a beautiful building. We would've liked to see more staff. No one at the front desk and not very welcoming. There was coffee in the morning in the lounge but muffins or rolls would be nice too since there wasn't an open cafe close by.

Love to stay here although room should be updated! Still has cozy charm and nice to stay a bit out of town.
Angelina was awesome bartender and host!

Ownership is not committed to running a hotel. The front desk is very seldom staffed. There is no maid service.
The dining room is permanently closed, so breakfast is 4 or 5 miles away. Room keys must be picked up at the bar.
This historic hotel is now a neglected side-hustle for the main operation, which is the golf course.
Stay elsewhere.

Beautiful building; from another era. Common areas for the guests; something you don’t see in newer hotels

There was probably a reason why this property was still available for a last minute Labor Day trip. I guess we could say the room was “vintage”…smelled musty, only one a/c unit in the bedroom so the living area was hot, the bathroom was always damp and the shower was made for someone 5ft tall (not to mention the horrible sulfer smell of the water, but this is somewhat typical for the area). Also thought it was a little odd no one was working when we arrived for check-in and keys were just in an envelope on the desk for us. Could be a great place and it probably was back in the day, but needs some major updates and TLC for the amount they’re charging.

This is a beautiful vintage hotel. If you can appreciate that it was built for the people of a century ago, you’ll love it. If you’re like the Kardashians, it’s not for you. Very comfortable beds, nice rooms, beautiful lodge and grounds. We’ll stay there again!

This review is about the Fairway Cabins, I cannot speak on the lodge rooms.
Do yourself a favor and avoid the Fairways!
When we arrived around 7pm and there was no one on desk. The confirmation information we received stated check in could be done until 730pm. Instead, our name and the room keys were left out in an unsecure area where anyone could have taken then. We never saw a concierge/desk clerk during our stay.
We had several issues with the room which I will share below. The welcome letter that was left with our keys had a number that stated to call/text if needed. It took over 5 hours and two texts before we heard from anyone regarding our troubles.
The room had a musty smell that never went away. The water had a hard mineral content which left the sinks stained and a bad taste which was also slightly fishy. We had to buy bottled water to brush our teeth.
When booking the room. It stated air conditioning was included; however, what it failed to state was that it was a window unit only in the bedroom and the sofa bed/living room area did not have ac so that room was always uncomfortable. Needless to say, the advertisement is misleading.
It got chilly in the evenings and when we went to turn on the heat it didnt work. It required maintenance to come out and fix it which didnt occured until later in the evening the second day. To add insult, they cranked the heat to 90°F on the thermastat and left it there so when we returned, the room was obnoxiously hot.

Was absolutely horrific. The rooms weee dirty, towels used - see pic, and were missing most of the sheets/comforters in the room. Nobody at the reception, phones lead nowhere. Had to wonder around the hotel to find laundry room and wash towels and sheets sobthat people could sleep in the room! Left 2 messages at front desk - not even a callback!!!!! 2 adults had to sleep in their clothes!!!!! I expect a full refund!!!

No management present for our entire stay. No formal check-in or check out. The entire place needs updating both inside and out. Limited food and beverage service.
I will say the bed was comfortable.

So apparently the property is being sold and thus there is literally nobody there . When I say there was nobody there there was nobody there no is there no staff no guests We had to find our own towels and our own toilet Paper. It was a bit like the shining. With that sad the rooms were fine and they were clean but it was just weird.

Interesting old history. Beautiful woodwork. We called the property several times with a question a day or so ahead & the answering machine said they were not open for the season. When we arrived at the property. there was no one around. After about a half hour, my husband walked around to the upper areas and finally found someone cleaning rooms. Finally got a key to the room.

The lodge was lovely, but our room was small with a nightstand and lamp on one side of the bed so only one person could read or put an item next to the bed. The in room air conditioner took up the limited floor space making it more cramped.

Great place to stay and very quiet facility. It is outside of all the hustle and bustle of Door County but within 15 minutes to most of the main tourist areas and a great center point to stay at. The only thing was that the AC unit was pretty loud and rattled but we were able to turn it off and stay comfortable with the ceiling fan going. Would definitely stay here again on our next trip to Door COUNTY

Decription was a cabin. It was a tiny room in the lodge. Barely two foot around the bed. Horribly overpriced!

I recently had the pleasure to stay at this beautiful resort, not only was the staff extremely friendly, the rooms clean, and the food great the grounds were beautifully maintained and I would go there again in the future. Only setback is if you’re on the younger side it may be a little quiet as there is more of a senior population staying on the premises. Perfect if your trying to relax though and definitely a go if your into golfing as they have a extensive golf course on site.

You cannot beat the attentive service of this place, we felt like family! Because of the pandemic you had to go to the desk for anything you might need, but they were sweet and super-quick to get you whatever you asked for. We felt like we were in a neat old place, but everything important was nicely updated. Great place to spend our 40th anniversary!

Very interesting lodge retaing its late 20s vibe. Friendly staff.. Hard wood doors are a treat. With roomy closet and bath.Two small things, missed having a small table to sit at and shower handle was difficult to adjust water temp.Restaurant was quite nice with good food and drinks, fresh caught whitefish was good at dinner and breakfast was also well prepared. Service staff were exceptional. Wife is GF and options were numerous including a GF biscuit served warm before dinner that was exceptional.. Played some golf and enjoyed this lovely old course. Outside fire pit was a hit despite October temps.Nicely located with easy access to other towns and fun stuff yet isolated from the touristy areas.

I loved the age of this place. It has been around for 90 years and clearly well kept. Had great detail. I love that it was not too big which gave you a chance to get to know some of the other guests
