Eagle Harbor Inn

Absolutely loved our stay at Eagle Harbor! Looking for a one night stay in a bed and breakfast in Door County, even in November took some searching. Most places require a 2 night stay. Plus, the prices were very affordable for the amenities. Down the road in Fish Creek or Egg Harbor, both 10 – 15 min drives away from Eagle Harbor, are way pricier!
We were very happy with the room — everything was clean and tidy — the whirlpool was large enough for two, the fire place was lovely, and the set up was great. The 1 bedroom whirlpool suite had a kitchenette, complete with a stove which would be really useful if we were staying for more than on night. Plus, a larger-​end mini fridge!
Bring your own bubble bath, and other than that — you’re set for a romantic, comfortable, and easy stay!
Would return, absolutely! Wonderful place!

Great staff, beautiful suite, tranquil, fun!

We visited Eagle Harbor Inn mid March, a foot of snow on the ground, the Lake and Bay still frozen, and not much touristy things happening. Yet, this Bed and Breakfast was great, when you are in need of a few days of relaxation and quiet. Sitting in front of the «fire» reading a book and watching it snow without having to go anywhere was perfect. A couple of deer visited frequently. Christine was fabulous, being sure all of our needs were met. We had never been to Door County in the «snow». With snow on the ground, the parks were like experiencing them for the first time. Near the water, it was silent, with occasional noises as the ice was breaking up. In Moonlight Bay, where there was a small area of open water, there were 9 migrating swans. The caves at Cave Point were dripping with ice. Yes, winter has been much too long, but we will come back again, to enjoy this quiet, relaxing March experience!

My husband and I just got back from our stay at Eagle Harbor Inn. We had originally planned to travel south to visit family, but that got canceled so we decided to take a trip up north instead.
First of all, I’ve always been a fan of Door County but had never been there in the winter. If you’ve never been, go! Winter wonderland. There’s something so romantic about it all. Anyhoo … The staff was great. Very nice and welcoming. We stayed at the Holly Hock house. and it was just perfect. I had planned to make dinner and they had a tiny little kitchenette area with what I would need available. What I will say is that the whirlpool tub was dirty. and while the bed wasn’t uncomfortable, the comforter is made of a material that slides easily. so I found myself waking up at night reaching down to cover myself back up. Those would be the two cons — but they aren’t deal breakers. next time bring some thing to wipe the whirlpool down with and your own comforter, it’s not that serious.
All in all, I would recommend this place and I’d definitely stay there again!

My boyfriend and I stayed at Eagle Harbor Inn for the first time for his birthday. We were both happy with our stay, although I thought the bed could have been a bit more comfortable. We ended up booking a room in the first house as you pull in and breakfast was not included with our stay. It was a 2 bedroom room (plus 2 bathrooms) with a spiral staircase, which was cute and quaint. The stereo system was nice and we had a whirlpool in our room along with a deck that overlooked the yard.
We enjoyed our stay, our only complaints were the bed and the fact that housekeeping knocking on your door at 9am seemed to be a bit early for our taste when we were trying to have a nice weekend getaway…

My wife and I had never been to Door County. My in laws had a gift certificate to this place and they were telling us that they wouldn’t have time to make it Door County this year. So they gave us the certificate to use. We booked a room in the Sumac House. Which is the house furthest back. We were in room #2 which faces the woods.
We loved it, it was like an apartment, it had a nice big living room, with an apartment size kitchen, a two way fireplace facing both the bedroom and living room. A Whirlpool tub in the bedroom. Overall it was very cozy,
Everything was great, the front desk staff was very nice and accommodating.
Highlights:
+ It’s in Ephraim, the only dry town in Wisconsin. It’s very quiet here and throughout the village.
+Your literally in the middle of all Door County has to offer.
+There is a Sauna, and an indoor pool with workout center in commons house.
+Free treats and juice from 3 – 5 pm daily.
+Wi-​fi-​it is a wonderful connection with great speed. I’m assuming every house has its own router as the signal was fantastic!
+One guest mentioned no tv, we had a very nice flat screen tv, with a dvd player in our room.
+The soaps in the room are locally made and smell fantastic, both the body wash and shampoo!
Any room for improvement?
–Well a dvd library at the main house would be nice, it would make a big difference as cable television isn’t that great these days.
–Place more towels in room
–Alter the location of the tv, between the living room and bedroom is rather odd.
–Maybe more literature about Door County?
These are all small things.
Overall a great trip, I did find out that my wife isn’t a big fan of the crowds and the whole nature theme though… I will be back someday.

The rooms are comfortable, but the bed in our room was the worst I have ever slept on. I purchased the winter get away package and we were assigned a room in the White Burch house. The location of the house was excellent. We entered to Champagne and chocolates as advertised… the Champagne consisted of a mini bottle of Korbel.
We started checking out the room and guess what… no flat screen TV… This may not matter to some folks, but we are in the habit of winding down our day snuggled in and catching up on events. in this day and age… I don’t think a flat screen is too much to ask. Then came the bed… now beds are highly subjective as far as comfort, and I thought it was just me… but after tossing and turning, we both had the same conclusion. the bed was terrible!
the next morning our breakfast basket arrived. great fruit, amazing coffee cake, granola and some milk… I would have liked some protein in the basket as well for the cost of the package.
update…they have mattress toppers and I was sent a card from the Owners along with a small discount on our next stay.

Great location, helpful staff. I appreciate that they accepted children to their inn as I know quite a few do not. I loved being able to walk to shops, beach and food. Ephriam is such a cute town! Loved being close to the other towns too and the Pennisula State Park which was lovely. My husband enjoyed the golf course there too.
The Inn had plenty of room for our family of four. Kids loved sleeping upstairs in the loft. It was a little warm in the room but we were also there when the temps were over 90 so that’s to be expected. Kids also loved the indoor pool. I’d definetely consider staying again.

Perfect accommodations for a family. Our’s had a separate bedroom and 1 1\2 baths. Clean and comfortable with all the ambiance you’d expect from a Door Co. inn. Our bedroom even included its own whirlpool tub! Landscaping is beautiful. Plenty of lawn space to play frisbee. Front desk was very hospitable and gave us some great recommendations for local dining. Only downside is that there isn’t an outdoor pool, only indoor.

Lovely place, excellent food, (french toast were out of this world good!), friendly staff, rooms are not huge but clean and nicely decorated. Can’t wait to go back again

My husband and I stayed here on our trip for our 2 year anniversary.
Room:
We stayed at the Inn in the Serena Room. It was a very nice room, but expensive. I would probably pick one of the smaller rooms next time because the extras in this room were probably not worth the extra money. My husband made the comment that he felt like he was staying in his grandmothers’ house. The room also had a really funky smell. Good thing I brought a candle to get that smell out of the room. The nice things about this room were the balcony; It’s the only room with a balcony. The whirlpool hot tub was wonderful. The fireplace was a nice touch and I loved the canopy bed with the light fabric draping over — so beautiful. There wasn’t much lighting in this room — it was pretty terrible. A small light by two chairs and a few by the bed but at night, it was really difficult to see if you were searching through your luggage or something.
Breakfast:
If you stay at the Inn, your breakfast is included. If you stay in one of the little «houses» on the property, your breakfast is not included since you have a kitchenette available to you. Breakfast included cold cereal including granola and corn flakes, fresh fruit, coffee, juice, homemade cake of the day and a homemade hot entrée. When we were there the hot entrée was cherry french toast, cheese and bacon egg soufflé, cinnamon apple french toast but this varies everyday. They also put out lemonade and cookies or something sweet in the afternoon. Everything was delicious. I was concerned at first that the breakfast would be the typical continental breakfast but my husband can EAT and is was enough to satisfy his hunger.
Grounds:
The place is well maintained with a lot of flowers and a beautiful patio for the summertime. There is also a small playground for the kids which is a nice touch. They also have out some games you can play on the grass.
Location:
It’s centrally located in Ephraim right by the water. You just have to cross 42 and you are at the water. It’s nice to be able to leave your room and walk to get coffee, ice cream or do a little shopping. Great location.
Amenities:
There is a small indoor pool with a sauna that my husband and I used once. In that same building is a workout room with a treadmill, elliptical and weights. There is a TV in there as well. I never saw anyone else in there. Free wifi was much appreciated considering we got my cell signal practically in the whole town of Ephraim.
Staff:
Everyone was really friendly and helpful. At one point my husband and I were looking through some menus that they have there for a spot for our anniversary dinner. A woman came by to tell us what she recommends. At breakfast they were there with a smile to fill your coffee cup back up.
All in all we would return. It was a pleasant stay, a little pricey but the food was good and the location was great.

My husband & I went to Door County for the first time this past weekend, and we had such a great time that we’re already planning our next trip. I can’t say enough good things about the Eagle Harbor Inn in Ephraim, WI. In an area of blatant tourist traps and an overabundance of cherry, well, everything, the Eagle Harbor Inn really captures the essence of Door County: amazing hospitality and a nice cozy spot to relax & unwind. We stayed in the Hulda room in the inn, which has a queen sized bed, small desk, & private bathroom. The room was fairly standard, actually, we felt like we were staying at someone’s house, not at all like a hotel room or anything. The only minor complaint that I have about the room is that the pillows were really hard; next time, I’ll probably bring my own. The grounds are very quaint, a forested area lined with several white guest houses. The Inn is situated within walking distance of the town’s restaurants & shops, which was nice. We pretty much walked everywhere and took in the beautiful scenery. I have to say that I’d stay there again for the breakfast alone! There was always an assortment of fresh fruit, slightly different every day, orange juice, cherry juice, coffee (that they refill on a pretty constant basis), cereal, granola, yogurt, a hot dish, and a baked dish. The first morning we had cherry stuffed french toast, and I was in love. The second day we had an egg casserole dish with peppers, bacon & bread baked into the top. The staff is very friendly & accommodating, really ready to answer any questions that you might have regarding door county & to share a great story with you when you’re standing around. I can’t wait to stay here again next year.

My wife and I have been to Eagle Harbor twice, once in summer and once in winter. Both times we have had wonderful experiences there. The folks who run the inn are very friendly and glad to answer any questions about things to do in Door County. The suites are comfortable and spacious. The breakfasts are very tasty and worth getting out of bed for. It is centrally located in Ephraim, so that you never have too long a drive to get anywhere. We’re going up again soon, and I can’t wait. Definitely a real gem in the middle of D.C.

This year, my family (husband and grown, and almost grown daughters) all decided not to exchange gifts for Christmas, but rather go on a «family mini-​vacation weekend».
WE COULD NOT OF MADE A BETTER DECISION!
We stayed at the Eagle Harbor Inn (the «Sumac» Cottage) and were very pleased.
The two-​bedroom suite was clean, comfy and PERFECT in size, for the five of us!
The loft bedroom for the girls was perfect, it had a queen bed and a twin in the «alcove», very cozy. Not to mention their OWN bathroom, much needed with three daughters!
Our bedroom was very comfy with the double faced fireplace, queen bed with great linens, and jacuzzi (which the girls all used in their bathing suits).
The kitchenette was great for late-​night snacks during movie watching, drinks, and morning mini-​breakfasts.
My only complainant was… that we could not take advantage of the «breakfast basket» option usually offered, due to the holiday short staff. (oh well, next time!)
The Inn/​room was a welcome sight after the drive up from Chicago through VERY thick, nighttime fog!
On Sunday, after brunch, we headed to Fish Creek (the next town over), to watch the Bears/​Packers game (dressed in our blue & orange Bears regalia) at the «Bayside Tavern». «Bill» the bartender was great, and played along with Bear/​Packer rivalry in good fun!
The next day we took advantage of the perfect snowfall.
We rented tubes from «Nor-​Door Sport and Cycle» (the employee named «Stretch» could not have been nicer) and headed for «Hill #17» at the Peninsula Sate Park. Very fun!
We then returned back to the inn lobby and enjoyed the afternoon home-​baked goodies and warm apple cider.
Lynn, the weekend hostess was so gracious and helpful answering all our questions and to giving suggestions as to what would be open for the Christmas weekend.
On Christmas Eve, we took an awesome carriage ride from «Mayberry Carriages». John, our carriage driver/​guide was entertaining and gave us tips, as to where the «locals» go and where to avoid (tourist-​trap wise).
It was truly a «Norman Rockwell Christmas» scene.
We headed home Christmas late morning. It was an awesomely perfect holiday!
This was our second time in Door County and we are definitely hooked! WE WILL BE BACK!
