7 Hotels in Door County, Wisconsin for a Family Getaway

The Landmark Resort is a charming property that rests on 40-acres of wooded land. Families choose from spacious one, two, or three-bedroom suites that have kitchens, living rooms, and patios but kids will be most interested in the four pools (three outdoor, one indoor). There’s also a video game room, tennis courts, shuffleboard and a pub and grill onsite serving up traditional Door County cheese curds with ranch, salads, burgers, and pizzas.

The Gull Cottage is a recently opened property that takes up a whopping 3,700-square-feet, giving families much-needed space to sprawl out. Amenities include a private pier, fire pit, and foosball table. There’s a grill in the back if you want to BBQ or it’s a short drive into the many restaurants in town, like the Cajun Inspired Fireside Restaurant with a kids menu that includes chicken and waffles.

These one and two bedroom mini-apartments at the Newport Resort have all the space for your family to settle in with a living room and kitchenette in each space. Start each morning with a free continental breakfast before heading out to the pool or playground. If the kids have more energy to burn, they can use the property’s giant lawn for a game of tag or duck, duck, goose.

Visiting Door County is a fun trip to take with family friends (we often do) and places like Homestead Suites offer great options. You can book anything from a bi-level five-bedroom house or a two-bedroom condo. All of their properties come with gas fireplaces, a plus for those chilly Wisconsin nights. The properties are very close to the entry of the Peninsula state park and the lush sand of Nicolet Beach.

After a full day of sightseeing, it’s nice to return to the suites at Westwood Shores Waterfront Resort, offering beautiful views of the lake out back. If you’re lucky enough to grab a room with a balcony, you can soak in that view with a cup of coffee or bottle of wine. The resort also offers complimentary paddle boating, if your family is eager to get out on the lake.

There’s something for everyone at the Scandinavian Lodge rooted firmly in, as the name suggests, Scandinavian hospitality. Condos come in a variety of sizes from one to three bedrooms suitable for families of all sizes. More importantly for the little ones, the property has a kid’s pool and a picnic area and playground that surrounds the outdoor pool, making it the epicenter of lazy family afternoons.

The Waterbury Inn is a centrally located property much like other properties across Door County with expansive living spaces that offer up more freedom than a cramped hotel room. This one is particularly family-friendly with an awesome outdoor area complete with a pool, grills, picnic tables, and playground.

Gather the family in the library where you can face off in Connect Four or win big in Monopoly. Play ping pong into the wee hours of the night or sneak the kids into bed early (with the promise of swimming and swings in the morning) so you can cozy up as a couple in front of the fireplace.
