Pros:

Only 1 thing that is negative
Pool and spa opened late and closed early
We are early risers and wanted to use the spa especially
We get closing pool to kids but it could have stayed open for adults a while longer

Pros:

The entire property was very well maintained, nicely decorated/modern-contemporary. Every staff member we met was very friendly. We liked the location of resort as well as it's right in the middle of Door County with close access to all of the little towns either north or south. It was perfect for us and we would absolutely stay here again.

Breakfast was okay, with only a few items available. I enjoyed the hot tub at the end of every day. The lodge has great grounds with many fire pits.

Pros:

I had no idea that this was such a dog friendly place to stay. Not having a dog yet but contemplating getting one, I had all the experience of being around dogs and talking to their owners. Walking in the hallways was such fun to get to pet them and play around a little. Recommending to all my dog parents for sure!

Pros:

Our room was noticeably damp, despite there being a dehumidifier running in the room the entire time we were there. I’ve never stayed at a hotel with dehumidifiers in the guest rooms. Unsure what the cause of the excess moisture, but it made the stay unpleasant.
