The Country House Resort - Sister Bay, Door County, Wisconsin. An adult retreat with the romance & charm of a country inn and the amenities of an elegant resort on the shores of Sister Bay.

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 beautiful old building, a historic landmark, Wisconsin, has become one of Door County’s most outstanding places to stay, the Country House Resort. Additions, remodeling and refurbishing have been continuous throughout the years, retaining the charm of a country inn while adding the amenities of an elegant, modern resort.

Your Hosts, Jerry & Joan Zaug, Cheryl Zaug Casey, and our entire family.
