Hillside Inn of Ellison Bay
Welcomes You!
Northern Door County is known for several things but chief among them is its Charm. Beyond the tranquility and peaceful nature of the peninsula, you will catch sight of some of the most beautiful views in the region, quaint shops, delicious locally sourced food in many of the restaurants, and a slower pace of living.
​
We take pride in promoting and preserving the history of our half-century-old Inn and those families who lovingly operated and built what it is today. The 15 room Inn is steeped in unchanged mid-century design and decor. The common spaces shine with the original paneled wood leading to spacious air-conditioned rooms with earlier period fabrics and furniture. Our rooms are clean, comfortable and provide solitude with views of the bay or lush rear yard with outdoor seating.
​
The adjoining German-inspired restaurant Hugel Haus and "Wurst" bar of Door County serve delectable German-inspired dishes that both locals and guests rave about.
​
We invite you to Ellison Bay to embark on a pleasant journey during all 4 seasons as the scenery changes with new sounds, feelings, smells, and new color palettes throughout the year.
