Everyone was great and helpful. Stay was wonderful. We had to stay somewhere else last two days due to not booking other hotel early enough and I’m so glad we chose Hillside.

My wife and I just celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary in a wonderful suite at this boutique hotel. The property was recommended to us by friends and it made our first trip to Door County very delightful.
