History of the House

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 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 were continuous throughout the years.
