The Ashbrooke is truly an elegant inn in the heart of Egg Harbor, in the French Country motif.

Fred and Debi Anderson, the owners and innkeepers, have done a wonderful job in creating a warm and friendly atmosphere at the inn. And in our many visits and revisits to the inn, we must say that they keep this place looking brand new. We just retoured the inn with Fred, and chatted about the inn and took another tour.

The inn has recently been named of the first inns in Door County to be "Travel Green Certified."

The inn offers free wireless internet access, and each room orsuite also includes satellite TV, individually controlled air conditioning and heating, coffeemaker, hair dryer, iron and ironing board, fridge, microwave and wet bar. There is also a DVD player, bathtub and shower, and an alarm clock with radio. The whirlpool suites also include robes for use during your stay and a clock radio with a CD player.

The property is beautiful, full of greenery and flowers, and is meticulously cared for. In 2010, The Ashbrooke also added a gazebo for your outdoor enjoyment, tucked away amidst the grass and trees. There's lots more to The Ashbrooke too, including an indoor pool and hot tub, dry-heat sauna, a fitness room and a huge outdoor sundeck. The hosts also provide coffee, muffins and rolls each morning in the lobby, where you can also pick up a complimentary copy of the Chicago Tribune, or a USA Today. A complimentary DVD library is there for your use during your stay, as well as machine, fax machine and more.

The Rooms

The Ashbrooke offers 36 beautiful rooms, and is an adults-only inn. Of the 36, 10 are suites with a living room and separate bedroom; 4 of those suites also have a whirlpool, while 16 total rooms of the 36 have whirlpools.

Most of the rooms are done in rose-tones, with floral bed quilts and matching window treatments. When you walk into a room, you feel the impact of how well the rooms are decorated and how well they present a complete and consistent décor. We know people who stay here every time they come to Door County, and they just love it!

We were impressed with the details and well-appointed rooms, which truly do make the inn’s “Romantic Elegance” claim absolutely true. You walk in and love the room immediately.

On this latest tour we took a look at Room # 116, and Suite #101. Both were up to The Ashbrooke's normal standard: gorgeous! The suites have a gas fireplace, sleeper sofa, nice living room, wing back chairs and more.

All the room have king beds, and Fred tells us that the mattresses are being converted to the "Dream Bed" which is just a fabulous mattress that is very plush, and guests who have experienced it absolutely love it! This inn keeps getting better and better.

There are several rooms to choose from, like The Ashley, The Wicker Room with great wicker furniture (all the first floor Wicker Rooms have a whirlpool), The French Country with four-poster king beds and a double whirlpool, or The Grande Suite which offers 540 square feet of romantic elegance.

You can view each room type online on The Ashbrooke's website, and rates range from about $115 - $235 depending in room type and season. This is an adults-only inn, no pets, and is smoke free throughout the property.

The Ashbrooke is one of the gems in Door County. It is conveniently located near some of the best golfing in the County, just about next door to a great breakfast restaurant, and walking distance to the entire downtown of Egg Harbor.

So check out their website, but certainly give The Ashbrooke a try on your next visit - you will love it - and please tell them that DoorCountyNavigator.com sent you!
