Whether you want to kick back and relax or go exploring,
there is something for everyone in Door County...

• Gills Rock Maritime Museum - This lovely museum is within five (5) minutes walking distance of the lodge and is on your right as you turn onto Wisconsin Bay Road off of Hwy 42. A modest entrance fee is required.
  
  
• Park, Children's Playground & Shelter - This beautiful and well equipped park is adjacent to the Gills Rock Maritime Museum. The playground has swings, slides, and a beautiful wood complex that children of all ages will enjoy. There is also a sand pit. The park itself is grassy and has a volleyball net. The shelter has large benches and built-in grilles inside of it.
  
  
• Bea's Ho-Made Products - Our family's favorite for jams and cherry pie.
  
  
• N. Port Ferry - Hourly departures and arrivals.
  
  
• Washington Island/Rock Island - Virtually unchanged over 150 years.
  
  
• Charter Fishing- Charters available in Gills Rock.
  
  
• Golf Courses - We prefer the famous Peninsula State Park course; Maxwelton Braes outside of Baileys Harbor is another option.
  
  
• Local Theatre and Festivals- We recommend either the Northern Sky Theater or The Peninsula Players.
  
  
• Ellison Bay/Sister Bay - Shopping and dining for all ages and tastes. Grocery shopping at either the Pioneer Store in EB or Piggly Wiggly in SB.
  
  
• The Shoreline Restaurant - Great food, good cocktails-wine-beer, and managed by professional yet amiable hosts, Mikaela and Bob.

• White Sand Beaches - We prefer the beaches at Peninsula State Park and Whitefish Dunes State Park.

• Seaquist Orchards / Farm Market - a real success story close by for family fun.
