Summary: Very quiet. While we saw other cars, we never heard other people. We said hello to one or two we passed coming or going, but that’s it. It rained the weekend we were there and we loved our room and the views while enjoying the rain. We even watched a good movie from the supply in the main kitchen/living room.

Summary: Nice, quiet place in a good location. The location is within walking distance of a nice supper club, the bay is just across the road, and there are lovely hiking areas nearby. Less touristy and populated than the other Door County towns, Gills Rock seemed just north enough to be a real place. Our room was spacious and nice. Instructions for arriving and code entrance were good, though it was not clear that the rooms all have separate entrances and are scattered on every side of each buildings. As we were trying the front door to see if it led to the other rooms, someone cleaning a room greeted us with a “didn’t you read your email!?” and we never saw another soul during our stay. Sauna was nice.
