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.

We absolutely loved staying here. We chose a room with a kitchen, which was very helpful when traveling with kids. Our room was spacious and very clean. The laundry option was great for clean fresh towels. The staff was incredible, very friendly and very knowledgeable of the area. It was our first time in DC and we loved it. The breakfast was really good, our kids enjoyed the pancake machine, and I loved the cherry coffee. The groynds were very well maintained. The outside had places to sit and a small playground. The indoor pool was perfect for the kids. We will definitely stay here again!
