Excellent stay. Jacuzzi tub in the room was amazing. Facility interior was beautiful and clean and the staff was very friendly. Continental breakfast was amazing. Everything we ordered at the restaurant/bar was excellent, both the food and drinks. Would love to stay there again.

Interior dated but clean, need more electrical outlets. Very friendly service, good food in restaurant.
Shower was dirty and water did not go down fixtures very old all of it needs an update best part was the tiki bar Willy was excellent very nice and friendly attentive very close to the beach across the road quiet beds are comfortable
Friendly and attentive staff, comfortable beds, good enough for the basics. Yes, its a little outdated if that bothers you but we weren't there to just stay around the hotel and room. Beautiful view outside of Sturgeon Bay and close to the shopping areas.
Very clean establishment! Wonderful staff especially Rocky! Rocky should be bar manager! He has people skills, and great knowledge of food and lodge! He is a great asset to the lodge!
Will come again if Rocky is still working there!
The staff were great but the accommodations were pretty terrible. The halls smelled heavy of cigarettes and the room had a strong musty smell. The heater in the room was not adjustable. When the temp got to 80 we had to crack open the patio door to cool off the room. The tv ran on WiFi but was not strong enough to watch a show. I don’t think we will stay again.
The room and interior are very dated and in need of repair. Ours had holes in the walls a very old bathtub that did not appear clean. The upside was the bed was very comfortable and the staff were friendly and helpful. The location is lovely and it is a shame the interior is in rough shape.
This property needs a major refresh. It’s not up to the number of stars it is being given. The staff was very friendly and helpful but for the price I paid I would have expected a better quality.

Great stay, kind staff, good value
We really enjoyed our stay. Very dated, bare-bones lodging but the staff was friendly. Free breakfast included a made-to-order omelette station. The restaurant was lively on Friday and the food was fresh and cocktails nicely made. It was an older, chill crowd overall that was staying there during our visit.
Very nice lodge next to the harbor. Staff was excellent. Expedia overcharged us based on all of the motel pricing information and will take that discussion up with Expedia.

Over all it was a nice place. Convenient for fishing. The grounds are well kept.pool needs updated and a hot tub would be nice.outdoor tiki bar looked like a great hangout over looking the water.
Very friendly staff. Thank you for the pet-friendly rooms! Very nice community space with a fireplace right outside our room. Nice touch!

Liked: Cleanliness
The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the check-in process was comprehensive. Our experience at the restaurant/bar trying to get service was miserable, however. The location of the lodge was convenient for accessing the town.
