The comfortable, affordable property – rooms start around $79 per night – offers spacious one-bedroom and two-bedroom suites with private, covered balconies, a fully equipped kitchen, and a cozy gas log fireplace. The separate living room area with ample seating makes it easy to wind down and watch a movie after an active day of exploring.

The compact but well-stocked kitchen was outfitted with all the cookware, utensils and tools to create a tasty, homemade meal on a night in. Even though it was the tail end of summer when I visited, I loved the ambiance of the fireplace in the living room and I enjoyed getting fresh air out on the deck.

The amenities on-site are so awesome that you might find it challenging to leave. Take a dip in the year-round heated indoor pool or hot tub. There’s also an outdoor pool open from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Outside, in the backyard area, you’ll find a gazebo with multiple gas grills and a fireplace surrounded by outdoor patio furniture.

There’s a complete “arcade room” just off the lobby, lined with nostalgic video games, for those who want to release some friendly, competitive energy. There’s also an indoor and outdoor play area, which means families never have to worry about entertaining kids even when the weather isn’t ideal for outdoor exploration.

Those who prefer to engage in a battle of wits can head upstairs to the game room, where you’ll find various types of board games and card games. If visiting during warmer months, take advantage of the free bike rentals, which make it easy to get around town quickly. And the compact fitness center makes it easy to get in a workout while on the road.

Forgot something? There’s an on-site market that sells everything you’d need, from a snack to an adult beverage (I personally indulged in some wine from the market’s fridge), ice cream, and even gift-shop-style goodies you can bring home as souvenirs like clothing and stickers.

Another benefit of this property is that it’s conveniently located just steps from the heart of downtown Egg Harbor, meaning it’s exceptionally walkable to some of this quaint town’s best restaurants and attractions, including the harbor itself. But it’s also far enough from the “action” to feel peaceful.

Newport Resort is a fantastic choice for families and couples seeking a clean and friendly home base in the Door County area—overflowing with adventure opportunities for all ages and interests.

In downtown Egg Harbor, don’t miss the beautiful views at Mezzanine’s rooftop restaurant space, which is a great spot to grab a bite or a drink with sights of the water. Door County Coffee is a must-stop for any caffeine fiend (I may have spent too much money on their single-serving-sized bags of coffee, which come in seemingly every possible flavor—including seasonal choices. I had to have one of each).

Right next door to Door County Coffee is Door County Candle, which is also nearly impossible to leave without purchasing anything. There’s a “pour your own candle bar” area for those who want to get crafty. Grab a drink at Door 44 Winery, named after its location on the 44° North Latitude (the “line” worldwide where the finest grapes are grown).

A sunset cruise with Sister Bay Scenic Boat Tours can be a memorable experience if the weather is warm, and while you’re in Sisters Bay, be sure to stop at Al Johnson’s Swedish Restaurant & Butik for a tasty bite and to spy some real live goats grazing up on the grass roof. Don’t worry — they’re some of the most pampered residents in town during and outside their day job, perched on the roof.

Outdoor lovers will love wandering around The Ridges Sanctuary, Wisconsin’s oldest land trust, or visiting the Cana Island Lighthouse, where you can take a tractor or walk over the causeway depending on water conditions and climb this 97-step structure that dates back to 1869 and boasts some of the best views of the peninsula in town.

Eagle Tower at Peninsula State Park also offers stunning views from its 850-foot canopy walkway, showcasing the bay of Green Bay from 250 feet above the water. Finally, one Door County experience that’s definitely not to be missed is a traditional “Fish Boil” dinner. I experienced this quintessential right of passage at the Old Post Office, one of the oldest establishments in the area. Here, you’ll enjoy a delicious, coursed-out meal focused on seafood and an entertaining and educational story right next to the water.
