From the time of making our reservation thru to our checkout time, our experience with The Village Green Lodge and its warm and accommodating hosts, Sue and Steve Sherman, was a delight. The inn itself was charming in decor and ambience and spotlessly clean-- always a plus!! And the hosts were fun and hospitable to the nth degree. When I returned from one excursion with sour cherry juice ( what can I say? Those cherries are delicious) all over my summer seersucker outfit, Sue very kindly saved the day and returned it to me crisp and clean to wear another day. Both Sue and Steve seemed to work non-stop to see to the needs of their fullhouse, but with good cheer and always the time to make recommendations as requested by their guests. And I brought home a cookbook collection of Sue's tasty recipes as served at the Lodge to remind me of those wonderful breakfasts when we met and became friends with their other guests.

It was our first trip to Door County and the Village Green Lodge, but be assured it will not be our last. Don't miss it!

Village Green Lodge was very nice, I was very pleased with our room, the breakfast, our hosts and the cleanliness of the facility. It was so nice to sit in the mornings and visit with other people that were staying there! We learned a lot about what there was to do in Door County, where to eat, etc. I am hoping we get to go back next year, and I will stay at Village Green Lodge again!

The Village Green Lodge is wonderful! We have gone up to Door County many times but have never stayed at this property. However, recently we wanted to try something new and decided upon the Village Green Lodge because it was #1 on Trip Advisor. We loved it!

First of all, the innkeepers are wonderful people---very welcoming and friendly. You feel more like you are staying with friends than that you are a guest with a hotel room.

The little inn is very quiet, tucked into woods, but still in the middle of Ephraim. It is just a short walk to the bay with its famous sunsets and to restaurants and the historic Wilson's Ice Cream parlour.

Sue's breakfasts are truly amazing! Her guests persuaded her to publish a cookbook and by the end of the week, I had to have it. There was something different and interesting every single day. My husband needed a cholesterol-free diet, and every day she discreetly fixed him something similar but meeting his special needs. She also puts out a tea at 3:00 with fresh-baked goodies.

The pool area is pretty with gardens all around and a great deck area with tables and umbrellas. You never had to scurry to find a deck chair either.

We got one of the suite rooms and it was gorgeous with comfortable places to sit, a kitchenette, a big whirlpool tub with lavendar salts provided, and a fireplace. There was a patio deck facing the woods and we had our dinner out there a couple of nights.

Lots of birds around....and different places to sit outside in the gardens including picnic tables in the woods and a hammock.

With the hospitality, the gathering room in the lodge where we met new friends, the great food, the comfortable room, and the whole ambiance of historical Ephraim and Door County, we will definitely be back to the Village Green Lodge!

By the way, Door County has many wonderful restaurants (try Greenwood Supper Club, the new Log Den, and Villagio's) as well as lots of culture (we saw the Peking Acrobats at the Door Co. Auditorium, a play at Peninsula Players, and went to the Steel Pan Caribbean night at Birch Creek). Coupled with great shopping and lots of activities, you can't go wrong to spend a week in Door County, WI!

I just signed up for Trip Advisor with the sole purpose of telling people how pleased my wife and I were with the Village Green Lodge. For some background, we are in our 20's and married without children. The owner/operators could not have been more hospitable. The location of the hotel is perfect. We had a view of Eagle Harbor from our room. But the lodge is located nicely about 150 yards from the waters edge, close enough to walk anywhere in town but also a little setback from State Road 42 so the only thing you here are all of the surrounding wildlife and not all the cars. I would guess about half of the rooms have views of the harbor. One thing to note about eagle harbor is that no lodges are on the water, State Road 42 is on the water. So it goes, water-grassy area-road then lodging. We stayed in a regular room with a King bed. The room was very spacious and the cleanest hotel room I'd been to in a while. The bed was nice and comfortable but not as good as some upscale hotels like the Westin. The bathroom was super clean and the shower was awesome, easy to adjust the temperature and great pressure. The towels were nice and clean but again like the bed were not top of the line, again no complaints. Then came breakfast. AWESOME. It was the perfect way to fuel up for a long day in Peninsula State Park. Fresh fruit, great breads, and a tasty French toast bake among other things. We spent the whole day out and about in the state park 3 minutes away, and when we came home the room had been cleaned wonderfully. Steve and Sue love the area and were eager to give us ideas of restaurants and wineries. We were there two nights. Our first trip to Door County and Ephraim was one to remember and we WILL be back and when we come back we will undoubtedly stay at the Village Green Lodge.
