Top Ellison Bay Hotel Reviews

Sister Bay Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The staff and room cleanliness couldn't have been better. It is an older Inn but maintained well. The location to downtown Sister Bay was good (< 1 mile). One of the quietest hotels I've ever stayed at. The pictures on the website don't do it justice. Would definitely stay there again."

Settlement Inn & Lavender Spa

10/10 Excellent

"The Settlement Inn & Lavendar Spa is in Fish Creek, the heart of the Door County Peninsula, which made it easier to explore all the towns up and down the coast. Our room was attractive and comfortable. We had a gas fireplace in our room, which was wonderful on cool evenings. We made use of the small kitchen area and dining table for a glass of wine and late night snacks. Staff couldn't have been more helpful. The inn is on Hwy 42 but feels quiet and secluded. We hope to return to Settlement Inn sometime soon."

Romantic Waterfront Suite With Amazing Water Views, Hedgehog unit

10/10 Excellent

"Everything went smoothly. The property had a beautiful water view and was great for sunsets. Also loved using the kayaks and firepit. Close to Newport State Park for a quick hike along Lake Michigan. Will return again!"
