Fish Creek is often the top destination for folks coming up to Door County, and Cedar Court, in the heart of Fish Creek, offers a broad spectrum of accommodation choices, from a simple motel room, to elegant suites and guest houses. Wow – all in one place! And we have stayed at Cedar Court, so we have experienced not only a tour of the facilities, but the full staying experience, from our wonderful accommodations to the friendly folks who manage Cedar Court, Bob and Teresa Martin (who, by the way, have managed Cedar Court since 1973 – so they really know what they are doing and they do it right). Stick with us, you are going to love this place! And this place is open year round.

First of all, location, location, location. You can’t get a better location in Fish Creek – you can literally walk the town from Cedar court, walk down to the harbor (1 block away), and walk to historic sites, Sunset Park, shops, restaurants and everything Fish Creek has to offer.

All guests enjoy the use of the outdoor, heated pool in season.

The Accommodations
All the rooms, suites and guest houses have a coffeemaker, air conditioning, cable TV, at least a dorm size refrigerator and telephone.

MOTEL ROOMS
First, if you desire a simple motel room, with standard accommodations, but right in the heart of Fish Creek – walk to Founder’s Square, shops and restaurants – then select one of Cedar Courts motel rooms, which range from about $69 - $89 a night (always check with the innkeeper for current and accurate rates). They are configured with either a king, or two queens.

SUITES
The main building houses six suites. All suites come with all of the above, plus a fireplace and double whirlpool.

Suite #28: If you would like a suite, then check out of the terrific suites in the main building. We toured a couple of them and they are wonderful. First we toured #28, on the main floor, and the only suite in the building with a kitchen (so if this is important to you, pick this one). Carpeted, and with a private outdoor entrance, this suite offers a king, pencil post bed, draped in a beautiful floral quilt, and a fireplace right in the bedroom! The bathroom, off the bedroom, has some nice touches like a chair rail with rose-colored walls above, and coordinating floral print wallpaper below. Very nice decorative touches, and nice woodwork throughout.

The sitting area has a rose and green floral couch, a Ben Franklin-typed stove, a TV and other niceties to make your stay comfortable. The full kitchen has wainscoting style cabinets and plenty of working space.

One last interesting option: a stairway leads up to a locked door, but if you are traveling with another couple, for example, they can rent the suite that this locked door leads to, and you can then “connect” them by having the door unlocked – nice option!

Upstairs to Suite #20: Upstairs is another great suite, with a queen pencil post bed, and a double-sided fireplace that opens to the sitting area and the bedroom. The room also opens up onto an outdoor deck for relaxing, reading, talking, watching. The bathroom, once again, nicely done with floral wallpaper below the char rail.

The suites are well done, and all have nice, tasteful decorative accents throughout. You will enjoy these suites!

GUEST HOUSES
There are about 10 guest houses or cottages on the grounds. You must bring your own towels for the guest houses, so please note. All of the guest houses have a separate bedroom (at least), kitchen, fireplace and double whirlpool.

We have stayed in a couple of the guest houses, and they are great. So we toured a 3 – bedroom one this time, called “Mini’s.” This guest house normally accommodates 6 people, but can take up to 8. The living room/sitting area has a fireplace, and a green and mauve plaid couch, a full kitchen, and a dining table and 6 chairs. The master bedroom has a queen bed, and a private bathroom complete with whirlpool! The second and third bedrooms have queen beds. This guesthouse offers a sense of comfort, ease and relaxation. We felt ‘at home” in it immediately, and we sensed that those who stay here must like it a lot – so we perused through the guest comment book, and found that we were correct.

“This is our 10th year staying at Mini’s!”
“We loved our 15th stay at Mini’s!”
“We’ll look forward to next year – counting the months till we’ll be back at Mini’s”

OK, wow – sounds like if you stay at Mini’s you’re going to love it and return over and over again! We can see why – so book early!

We really like Cedar Court Inn. The grounds are beautiful, with a white picket fence surrounding the property; access to the water, the entire town footsteps from your door, and in the heart of Fish Creek – a very popular destination. Perfect. And because Cedar Court is off the main road (down Cedar Street), you also get a sense of calm quiet and seclusion – even though everything is literally steps away. You will like it too, and we are sure you will return again and again! Visit Cedar Court’s website right now to discover more! Please tell Bob and Teresa that you found them on DoorCountyNavigator.com!
