Welcome to Country House Resort

The Country House Resort is an independent, and family owned, business. It has been proudly owned and operated by the Zaug family since 1989. It is our family’s goal to provide outstanding customer service, warm hospitality and exceptional attention to detail. Our staff relies on years of hospitality and customer service experience to ensure your stay with us not only meets, but exceeds your expectations. We believe we are in the business of creating memories not just renting rooms. Much of our staff has been with us for years and they look forward to welcoming our many beloved repeat guests.

The resort is situated on a unique and beautiful piece of Door County with a spectacular view of Sister Bay. Each year our family makes significant investments into upgrades, renovations and additional amenities and services. Guest input is our best source of information and guidance. We know we are not the newest property in Door County, but we strive to be a comfortable and well-maintained resort in an unparalleled and breathtaking setting.

We invite you to visit as a new guest and return as a member of our Country House family for many years to come.

Complimentary Breakfast

During our peak season which is approximately May through October we will be offering a buffet breakfast in our lobby area each morning from 7:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. The buffet will include coffee, juice, milk, cereals, breads, pastry, rotating hot items and Yes! Yogurt and Door County Cherries.

Our goal is to provide a variety of tasty options while somewhat limiting the number of people gathering in the lobby and the amount of time spent there. Your cooperation in selecting your items and enjoying them in your room or outdoor areas of the resort will be appreciated. Each room also has a single-serve coffee maker, a small refrigerator and a small microwave. Coffee is available throughout the day in the lobby area.

A grab-n-go breakfast is provided in the lobby area during our Quiet season which is approximately November through April.

Fun at the Resort

So many adventures await, for that complete unwind experience plan some time to relax, decompress and have a bit of solitude. Our relaxing complimentary onsite sports equipment and activities like tennis, pickelball shuffleboard, kayaking, swimming, dipping into the jacuzzi, enjoying the trendy firepit 'campfire' table, or walking and enjoying the gardens will keep you busy while offering that "feel at home" comfort.

Feel like venturing out directly from the resort? Use one of our complimentary bicycles or take a breathtaking walk to town on our nature trail.

Complimentary guest passes are available to Sister Bay Athletic Club as well as discounted personal training at Door County Fitness Studio. Both are located less than a mile from the resort.

History of the Country House Resort

In 1907 Dr. Sebald Fichtner opened “Forest Idyll” on the former Ingebret Torgerson farm, the first homestead in Sister Bay. He felt it had the potential to become a grand hotel, and if he were alive today he would know that his prophecy has come true.

The Country House Resort is a beautiful old building and historic landmark that has become one of Door County’s most outstanding and classic places to stay . In order to retain the charm of a country inn while adding the amenities of an elegant and modern resort, additions, remodeling and refurbishing have been continuous throughout the years.
