Self check-in was very convenient. Received text and email with room code and was able to go directly to room on arrival. Room was clean and very comfortable. Beautiful common area/kitchen to hang out in. Water views and sunset were amazing.

The Troll Cottage was an amazing place to stay for family. It was a detached room so it gives more privacy. The rustic vibe of the place surrounded by trees will give an added feel of peace and relaxation. Special thanks to Eric! he was very helpful with instructions for check in and very attentive to our requests. He even set up a bonfire for us to enjoy the cold fall weather fall at night at the backyard. It’s worth the 4.5 hours drive from the Chicagoland area. This place is highly recommended and very near the Washington Ferry Island ferry station in case folks would want to visit the Washington Island for a day trip. warm thanks again Eric for the superb accommodation!

Unique Inn
My husband and I had a nice time staying at the Harbor Light Inn. It was a unique experience. There is no front desk, so you check in with an access code. If you do not receive an email from them 24 hours prior to your trip, make sure to call the Inn so they can sort this out. When you make the reservation, you get a room name, so when you get there you drive around the building and find the parking spot with your room name and then the room is also written on the door to your room and you enter your access code and you are in! We arrived when it was dark out so it was great to have these instructions, hope this helps future guests!

The futon couch was broken. The grounds keeper is a wonderful guy and wants to accommodate but he is only one person that services the whole complex. The Troll Cottage we stayed is charming but parts are falling apart. The stairs going to 2nd floor is STEEP so watch out! Only 1 bathroom on 1st floor. Small but functional kitchen...the toaster was broken and then the little coffee pot broke the next day. Loved the outside porches and private backyard with fire pit. That was real nice and the big trees added to the charm along with surrounding buildings. The grounds keeper is a delight, friendly...but it is ez to see he is only one person and could use a hand with these units which are many...Overall we enjoyed our time here and we love being on the tip of Door County since we had the time to travel during the day...all day long.

Eric, the caretaker, started a fire each night for us to sit by! Very nice. Also immediately responded to broken lamp in our room and fixed it. No hangers on the lovely rack in hall, nor enough shelves or towel bars in bathroom. Bed was most comfortable. Front door screen was torn and door unable to close fully. Thankfully no mosquitoes in Sept! The caretaker did a great job! Owner needs to fix the place up- paint, doors, sulfur smell whenever hot water was used. Room was very clean! Nice little table area for snacks and coffee. Sat on porch in the sun both late afternoons. There is a great room for common use which we didn’t use, but was fully stocked! Worth the drive at the end of the road in Gills Rock.

It was a lovely stay in the quiet area of Door County. Nice location near the lake and ferry to Washington Island. Comfortable, roomy space. However, know that there are no amenities in Gils Rock except for a little store that closes at five.
