It was very easy to find, get tickets, and board with our vehicle. Be sure to exit your vehicle before the ferry fills up, or it's hard to get out of your car in the small space! Deck and cabin offer beautiful views of Death's Door and the smaller islands.

What a relaxing way to soak up some sun and enjoy a truly beautiful place, Beach is made up of smooth rocks vs sand...great for skipping on the waters surface. Water looked clean and inviting. A couple of neat photo ops here. No pets allowed.

My hubby and I loved this place so much we didn’t want to leave. The smell was incredible! Lavender everywhere! I have submitted many photos. There was everything you could imagine that was possible to contain lavender in inside the shop- candles, dried lavender, lotions, oils, cookies, marshmallows, beverages, chocolates, sandwiches, candies, potpourri, etc... outside the tireless were gorgeous and in full bloom! The way they were planted were so pretty to look at. I didn’t care for the lavender food items, but my husband liked them. The service was okay, but everything else stacked up to make this a ‘5’ trip!

This chapel is a beautiful and pristine work of art. As a seasoned woodworker, it has to be among the most impressive structures I have ever been in. Joinery is all hidden and logs are hand hewn. The design and execution of this chapel is truly awe inspiring. Being there will no doubt inspire a spiritual stirring from those of faith or those in need. The prayer path around the chapel is a 15 minute stroll with very relevant scripture plaques at regular intervals. In my opinion this is the most soulful & inspiring things that Door County has to offer. It will become a regular trip for me.

Interesting if you have an interactive interest in nature & the Great Lakes. We come to the island for summer salmon fishing so always have some down time. Loved the monarch caterpillar garden out front, was able to hold a snake they had out for display, & they had lots of displays about the local landscape. Also had some local artists works. NOTE: we were here Aug of 2019 but that was not available to choose from the dropdown so noted as Aug 2020

Free self-guided tour with brochure and donation box. All buildings were open including the log house but didn't see any personal. It showcases buildings from various island locations that were moved and reassembled here along with the hand tools and agricultural machinery used in early farm life between 1870 and 1940. Buildings include a log cabin, barn, forge, sawmill, corn crib, outhouse, Gallery barn, farm animal pen, weaving shed, machine shed, blacksmith shop, and log shed. Of interest, inside the gallery barn, on the second floor, was a copper still, used on the island during prohibition. Went here on September 23.

Well constructed flights of stairs take you to the top of the bluff. Another set of well constructed flight of stairs take you to the top of this tower. For the amount of steps, it's a relatively easy climb--we witnessed small children, elderly folk, those with hip and knee ailments ascend to the very top. Beautiful view. We were surprised by the lack of signage or warnings, so please exercise common sense in this little piece of the forest.
