The nearly century-old Country House Resort offers upscale elegance within the backwoods beauty of 27 forested acres crested on a rolling bluff overlooking more than 1,100 feet of Green Bay shoreline.

Native stone and a framed cedar exterior define the inn's sylvan roots (it was originally called "Forest Idyll"), while private verandas provide sweeping views of the bay and the estate's gardens and flowing fountains.

The Country House Resort's 46 rooms and suites feature 10 basic floor plans, providing guests plenty of choice in both style and price. Standard amenities include private baths with tubs and showers, complimentary hair dryers, irons and ironing boards, refrigerators, coffee service, telephones, remote-controlled cable television with VCR/DVD, wireless Internet access, and daily maid service.

Spacious suites and "specialty rooms" appeal to honeymooners and couples celebrating anniversaries and other special events. The resort's "specialty rooms" come with the added amenities of two-person whirlpools, two-person body spray showers, queen-sized beds, wet bars, and microwaves. One- and two-bedroom suites, located on the first and second floors, each have king-sized beds and a Great Room with gas fireplace, two-person whirlpool tub, microwave, and refrigerator/freezer. All of the larger suites on the second floor each have a bedroom as well as the Great Room with water views.

The Country House's premier accommodation, though, is located on the third floor all by itself. This spectacular 1,600-square-foot Penthouse Suite has virtually everything, including a full kitchen, gas fireplace, two-person whirlpool, and one of Door County's best views of the bay.

All guests enjoy a deluxe European style continental breakfast with freshly baked breads, salami, cheese, hard boiled eggs, fresh fruits, and pastries served in the fireplace lounge during the spring, fall, and peak seasons and delivered to your room during the quiet season. For lunch and dinner, you'll be within walking distance of Sister Bay's various restaurants that share the village with an array of interesting specialty shops and galleries. A 1/3-mile nature trail along the shoreline leads into the village.

Family-owned and operated, Country House Resort prides itself on its helpful, friendly staff and the romance and charm it offers. Your hosts look forward to helping you plan a special, relaxing getaway...you deserve it!

If you're hosting a conference or other event, the resort's fireplace lounge/conference room accommodates up to 25 people, and the Penthouse Suite's Great Room will accommodate up to 12 people. A guest computer with 24/7 online high-speed Internet access with Wi-Fi is located in the lounge/conference room. With advanced notice, the Country House staff also will be happy to serve coffee and continental fare to those attending your business or other small-group meeting. The manager will also be glad to assist with catering and local excursions.

The estate's 27 wooded acres offer all of the resort activities you have come to expect, including a tennis court, heated swimming pool, various lawn games, and a 14-foot hot tub that's perfect for star-gazing. A dock for fishing and swimming in Green Bay and complimentary row boats and bicycles round out the outdoor amenities that make staying here as fun as it is relaxing.
