Excellent experience for our anniversary weekend. Quiet, perfectly sized room with a great water view. Only two miles from Washington Island Ferry. We would definitely stay here again.
Didn’t like the property got charged 358 when the bill was 203 later at the hotel and we used the girlfriends card and got charged 358 when it should of been just 203 and the guy was just rude and even trying to get a hold of him about charges and he’s just rude
Really handy location for the ferry. Beautiful views over the bay if
You walked over the road.

Disliked: Amenities
Property was decent. Positive, Tesla charger for guests. Con, very basic amenities. Other than 2 cups for coffee, everything else you have to ask using text messages.
We stayed in Troll Cottage, which was a pleasant surprise and perfect for our little family. It was cozy and clean and had everything we needed. The staff was helpful and friendly. We loved being away from the busier spots like Sister Bay or Ephraim. Beautiful views! Would definitely stay there again!
This place was beautiful. It was cute, quiet, peaceful, and clean. Right across from the lake. Beautiful view from the Garden room every morning! The room was great. Couch bed not too bad. King bed of course way better. Nice updated shower. Mini fridge and micro in room but a great kitchen you can cook your own food in. Kitchen you share with others but we only ever saw one other family who were lovely. Some rooms have kitchinettes. This place was beautiful. Easy contactless check.in. Inn keeper always around. I will definitely book again! Fell in love with this area.
I had a very peaceful stay and found the room cozy. All the other guests were extremely quiet and barely noticed that anyone else was staying there. The area is beautiful and would consider staying here again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Great view of water. Unit was clean and self check in and check was great.
Absolutely great experience. The whole check-in/check-out was smooth. The room was spacious and comfortable. The deal was affordable. I enthusiastically recommend.
This hotel was so calm and surrounded by such a natural beauty that my family loved this place! I already referred this hotel to all my friends and would suggest the same to all who are planning to visit Door County!
Beautiful setting with water views. Super easy self checkin. The innkeeper was very friendly and checked on us to make sure we were comfortable each time we saw him. Great value!
Self check-in was very convenient. Received text and email with room code and was able to go directly to room on arrival. Room was clean and very comfortable. Beautiful common area/kitchen to hang out in. Water views and sunset were amazing.
The Troll Cottage was an amazing place to stay for family. It was a detached room so it gives more privacy. The rustic vibe of the place surrounded by trees will give an added feel of peace and relaxation. Special thanks to Eric! he was very helpful with instructions for check in and very attentive to our requests. He even set up a bonfire for us to enjoy the cold fall weather fall at night at the backyard. It’s worth the 4.5 hours drive from the Chicagoland area. This place is highly recommended and very near the Washington Ferry Island ferry station in case folks would want to visit the Washington Island for a day trip. warm thanks again Eric for the superb accommodation!
