Country House Resort
715 N. Highland Road, Sister Bay
Door County, Wisconsin 54234
800-424-0041

At this sprawling 27-acre wooded retreat, owner Jerry and Joan Zaug and Cheryl Zaug Casey have thought of just about everything, from complimentary use of the tennis courts, row boats and bicycles to the gratis continental breakfast--and even free rags in oaken buckets strategically placed around the grounds, in case you want to wipe down your car or something.

But don’t get sidetracked by the freebies. Country House Resort offers the adult vacationer (kids under 13 and pets not allowed) spectacular balcony views of Sister Bay, an attractive 1,100 ft. shoreline, gas fireplaces in many of the rooms, an outdoor pool and spa area that makes you feel as if you’re at an island resort, and an attentive staff to make your getaway truly memorable.

You can leisurely hike a scenic walking trail all the way into town – the grounds and surrounds are gorgeous, with views of Sister Bay like no other! But there are also meeting and conference facilities that can accommodate up to 25 workaholics.

Now for the details. Each of the 46 modern-design rooms and suites has their own refrigerator, coffee service, phone, cable TV, VCR, iron/ironing board and hairdryer. Most have private balconies overlooking the bay. And specialty rooms include two-person whirlpool, two-person body spray showers, queen bed, wet bar, and microwave. The luxury suites are either 600 sq. ft. one-bedroom units or 800 sq. ft. two-bedroom-two bathroom units.

Country House also has a luxurious two-bedroom/ two-bathroom penthouse with the hands-down best view of Door County, a full kitchen, fireplace, and whirlpool bath and reading room.

Rates at the resort range from $91 daily for a single room with one queen sized bed during the spring and fall to $290 daily for the penthouse during peak season (defined as Memorial Day Weekend, and around the 3rd week in June to about mid-October). Always check with Country House or the resort's Web site to get the full and current rate schedule. There are great discounts during the "quiet season," which is from the end of October to mid-December and again December 26 to the beginning of May.

The Country House Resort website is packed with great information and 360 degree tours! Check their site for specials and lots of detailed information!

A favorite for anniversaries and honeymoons, Country House Resort provides everything from a brisk walk in the woods to a snuggle by the fire. It’s definitely one of our favorites. We have revisited the Country House Resort several times, and they keep making it better and better! We think you will agree!
