Harbor Light Inn

The location worked well for us since we’d been looking for somewhere to stay in gills Rock, and the price was good. I’d stay again in this room, though I’d be curious to see the others. Our harbor view room only offered a small glimpse of the harbor from one window, plus a bit of a view from the private porch, so the view was pretty limited. Having a parking space just for our room was a nice perk. Inside, there was a very comfortable king bed, a couch, two chairs, and a little table for meals. The shower was great, with two kinds of shower heads, and we liked having the small porch. The decor felt a little plain. Neither the two chairs for watching TV nor the pair at the table were especially comfortable.

We had plenty to do nearby, and the sunset view was amazing. The room was great and parking was easy. A great vacation spot!

The stairs up to the second floor were the only part that needed some care. We left our luggage downstairs so we wouldn’t have to carry it up and down. Otherwise, our stay in the Troll Hole cottage at the back was so cozy. The little deck off the back porch was lovely at night, and there was enough firewood for a campfire on our last evening. The beds were very comfortable, and the air conditioner kept the cottage cool all three days. The kitchenette had all the essentials, and the bathroom was fully stocked, so we didn’t need to unpack our shampoo or body wash. The structure is old, but they did a great job remodeling the inside while keeping the home’s style intact. The woman who checked us in was so nice and friendly. We also enjoyed the main room in the big house, where they had pamphlets about local activities. I’d highly recommend staying here!

Our room above the front porch was spacious and clean, with a great shower. The porch and quiet setting were lovely for watching the sunset and relaxing after exploring Door County. The hosts were amazing, knew the area well, and were genuinely interested in helping us find things to do. They even helped us after the trip when we realized we’d left something behind. Their service really impressed us. We love the outdoors, and Newport State Park was a highlight. It felt like our own beach, with very few people around and beautiful views. We were also particularly impressed by the two county parks along the Bay, just south of Gills Rock. We stayed two nights this summer.
