This guide recommends staying at The Liberty Lodge at Sister Bay. This historic hotel with 14 beautiful rooms was founded in 1898 by Abraham and Christina Carlson and is an original Door County landmark. The Lodge served as a welcome destination for steamboat passengers sailing Green Bay waters from Chicago and is more a B&B than a modern day hotel.
