Historic buildings alone were cool. The Henrietta house we stayed in was quaint for 2. Nice sitting room with small dining table for 2. Enclosed porch was so cool. Had a mini fridge too. The main house had a game room on the 3rd floor which was fun. Experienced a fish boil here for my 1st time.

Breakfast was and has THE BEST cherry stuffed French toast! A must try! Fish boil always impressive and relish! Can't beat eating whitefish caught that morning. Our favorite place in Door County. ❤️❤️❤️
