Harbor Light across from bay with GORGEOUS view. Shared Great room offers full kitchen. Bonus bonfire pit for fire, which our host laid for us. All great, will return.

This was an amazing place to stay. Had an amazing view of bay. Awesome sunsets.

Nice, quiet place in a good location. The location is within walking distance of a nice supper club, the bay is just across the road, and there are lovely hiking areas nearby. Less touristy and populated than the other Door County towns, Gills Rock seemed just north enough to be a real place. Our room was spacious and nice. Instructions for arriving and code entrance were good, though it was not clear that the rooms all have separate entrances and are scattered on every side of each buildings. As we were trying the front door to see if it led to the other rooms, someone cleaning a room greeted us with a “didn’t you read your email!?” and we never saw another soul during our stay. Sauna was nice.

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.

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!

We had a wonderful time at Harbor Light Inn. The stay was comfortable and peaceful, it’s a great place to stay to be close enough to activities but far enough away for a quiet, relaxing place to stay. The view was also amazing right from our balcony. We would highly recommend staying here.
