Edgewater Resort & Condominiums

Nice, clean, comfortable. Pool with a view of the bay. Within walking distance of a few places. We’re probably going to visit again.

My fiancée and I just recently stayed at the Edgewater Resort, we actually got engaged while staying here! It is a perfect Ephraim hotel, right across from the water, beautiful views of the bay of Ephraim. We got a great deal on a basic room through Expedia, which I think is only available off season. You can’t find a hotel like this with views like this at such a low price. It was great. Our bed could have been a little more comfortable, although we are both picky about our mattresses :-)

Very nice place but terrible wifi. Up here in door county cell reception is non-​existent so if you need access to the real world during your stay skip this place.
Note to manager providing wifi throughout your hotel is cheap. Spend a few dollars and improve your customers experience.

Our lodging experience here was very nice. We paid a pretty penny for staying here three nights on a recent trip, so I feel I have the right to be picky. While I was impressed with much of the experience, there were a couple of gripes:
1. The maid service came after our first night and did a great job making the bed, replacing the towels, and replenishing our coffee supply for the next day. However, after the third night, no maid stopped by. As a result, on our last morning we had no coffee (had to go out to get some because we’re addicts), no clean towels, and no toilet paper! (Luckily we found an extra roll under the sink).
2. The Wi-​Fi/​Internet was, like, dial-​up speed. SLOW. My Unilocaling was severely restricted as a result. :(
3. Although we weren’t planning to swim, we were surprised that the pool and hot tub were not open on Memorial Day weekend. Had we had children with us, I think we would have been disappointed by this.
All in all though, the room was beautiful, and I was surprised by how nice our accommodations were. It was fun to cook in a hotel room! We also liked the fireplace in our living room. Very cozy.

My niece loved her first trip to Door County last year, so I offered to take her again this year and she chose Spring break. Yes, it’s off-​season, but I thought the last week of March would be temperate. Was I ever wrong! We drove up from Chicago in rain that turned to sleet as we drove north and we arrived in 28 degree weather with sleet coming down and a fresh six inches of morning snowfall adorning the resort and most of Door County. Wow.
We were greeted most pleasantly, given a lifesaving list of the few Door County restaurants open during March and directed to our room, #217, at the north end of the property. Literally, we were nearly alone on the property, with only a few other occupants mid-​week, long before tourist season. But the morning’s snow was cleared and salt was down in the walkways.
We climbed the outside stairs to the 2^nd floor and walked the balcony, rounding the corner to a drop-​dead view of the (solidly frozen) harbor, and it turned out we were in front of our room, which meant this was our view from the living room window! Excellent.
The door opened onto a charming and very welcoming living area, with a comfy couch (turns out it’s a pull-​out) and chair, a full-​size kitchen table in a separate area and a small, efficient kitchen (with a dishwasher — I love you, Edgewater). We immediately turned on the fireplace and tv and felt like we were home.
A quick look at the bedroom found pleasant décor, a huge king size bed and that same harbor view from the large window. A big jetted tub shares the room, which is fine for the romantically inclined, but too exposed for a couple of friends traveling together. The sink/​mirror are in the bedroom, while the toilet and shower are in their own tiny room/​space. Nonetheless, everything is managed very efficiently and the bedroom area feels huge because the tub area has no walls. We literally heaved the bedroom armoire a couple of inches into the room, because the bedroom door bounced off it. Bed placement makes it impossible to watch the tv in the armoire, due to a bedpost being smack in the middle of the screen, but we barely turned the br tv on in the three days we were there, so it wasn’t an issue for us.
Pros: Truly pleasant staff, helpful and responsive. Very, very clean, bright, happy place with pleasant décor. Kitchen has everything you need: microwave, dishwasher, dishes, cups, coffeemaker, coffee (!) and tea, a freezer… so very nice to have all of it there. Bed’s huge and comfortable, water’s hot instantly.
Cons: Blew out two hairdryers. two? Something’s wrong, either with the dryers, or the electric. Intermittent cable tv, maybe due to the weather? There’s a disconcerting hump in the pre-​fab floor outside the bedroom door and the on/​off switch and timer for the fireplace is installed upside down. These are very minor things, but it would be nicer if they could go away.
I will definitely go back, but something tells me it’s going to be hard to book a room during tourist season. This place is high on the list of desirable lodging in the Sister Bay and Ephraim areas.
Regarding pricing, the groupon we used was virtually the same price as their March promotion, so it’s useful to know the off-​season website discount is pretty much the same offer.

Incredible view. My husband and I loved this hotel. We had a suite with a balcony, full kitchen (complete with plates and cooking implements), hot tub, living area, and bedroom with a king bed. Watch the sunset from your room. It is incredible! My one critique is that our bed and mattress were creaky. I think it’s time for those to be replaced. But again the view was spectacular. We’ll definitely be back.

My wife and I were fortunate enough to spend our first anniversary in beautiful Ephraim with the friendly staff at the Edgewater. I will be honest and admit that we did stay here for a reduced rate, so that may have increased my rating, but our stay was pleasant enough without that benefit.
We stayed in a Honeymoon Suite, so I cannot speak for the cottages that the Edgewater also has. The room itself was very large, complete with kitchen table, fireplace, whirlpool bathtub, kitchenette, flat-​screen TV (albeit pretty small), and King-​sized bed. The only odd thing about the room is the shower — the head is pointed at the door, so the only way you can turn it on without the water going everywhere is to get in the shower prior to turning on the water. It was a small, minor annoyance.
The amenities were nice — the pool/​hot tub area were very nice; I used the exercise room and sauna every day.
We didn’t get a chance to try «The Old Post Office Restaurant», as neither my wife nor I were very interested in the fish boil, and we went to Chef’s Hat for breakfast both days.
We’ll be back next year!

So wonderful! The resort was amazing and the staff was so helpful making it our best trip to door co!

I called Edgewater Resort this morning and spoke to the GM Debbie. She put me on hold for 15 minutes and then accidently hung up the phone on me. I called back and she was rude, didn’t even apologize for hanging up. She said she didn’t have time to answer my questions about the resort and when I was interested in booking 2 weeks out she said she didn’t have her schedule ready. WTF? Poor customer service. I would recomend staying at a place that has time for you, not Edgewater.

Beautiful! I LOVE this resort. It is right on the bay and the rooms are bright, open, and beautifully furnished. My husband (at the time boyfriend) and I booked a suite which included a beautiful little kitchenette, a fire place a MASSIVE king-​sized bed and whirlpool tub. We loved it so much we decided we would have our wedding there.
We scheduled for late April which was just before the busy season and the owner and staff were FANTASTIC. Anything we needed they helped with, including getting enough chairs on their upstairs balcony for all our guests. They even made sure we got the exact room we’d originally stayed in… How romantic is that?
I originally wanted to elope, but considering how beautifully the wedding turned out, thanks to Edgewater Resort, I am SOOO happy we decided on a semi-​traditional wedding. It’s worth a trip from anywhere in the country to stay at this beautiful resort.

Excellent! We stayed here for a weekend getaway for our anniversary in December. We had never been to Door County but had always heard great things. and we saw it as a groupon so figured why not. We had a beautiful suite complete with jetted tub. It was very clean, complete with complimentary basket full of different food items. The front desk was very friendly in pointing us in the right direction/​what there is to do in Dec since alot of places were not open. Highly recommend!

I went up for a long weekend to spend some time in the famed Door County and was not disappointed. The Edgewater Resort was perfect and the view from my room (301) was amazing. I had my own private balcony, fireplace, and a large living area. I have never seen stars quite like up there sitting on the balcony. It was breathtaking looking out over Eagle Harbor every afternoon. Can’t say it enough. Amazing views! Perfectly located within Door County and close to Fish Creek, but most importantly Peninsula State Park.
My only comment, but again I gave it 5 stars, was the furnishings in the room. It was a bit dated, but still cottagey feeling and perfect for my needs. I parked right next to my room and was so close to everything I didn’t touch the car for the rest of the weekend.
Felt like moving there after the amazing weather and weekend. Most relaxing trip ever and perfect for an overworked professional to de-​stress and spend some time forgetting about spreadsheets and meetings.

We stayed at the Edgewater Resort near the end of April so the prices were quite affordable. We were not offered any breakfast options. Our room was on the first floor facing the water. We had a door to the front patio which was beautiful. It was small with a queen bed. The bed was not comfortable and the pillows were horrible, but it was a clean room. I think I would try staying at another place due to the lack of comfort.

We stayed in studio cottage 128 for three nights. This unit is not luxurious but has the necessities of a great base camp for all of your Door County activities. E.g. clean, comfortable bed, good shower, refrigerator, microwave and access to all the resort amenities.

My husband and I have stayed here a couple years in a row now and love it! It’s a perfect location — just outside the very touristy/​busy Fish Creek and not as far North as Sister Bay. The suite rooms are tastefully decorated, rspacious, rooms are always clean, and complete with a jacuzzi tub, comfortable bed, and full size kitchen/​appliances. The Old Post Office restaurant is next door and the hotel offers you $ 10 gift certificates to be used daily there. Great, unobstructed views of the water too. I would have given it 5 stars if they had a repeat guest discount. Hotels in Door County can be quite pricey in the summer and it would be great if return customers were rewarded for their loyalty :)

Excellent hotel, one of the best in Door County. Excellent rooms, friendly staff and the restaurant is perfect for breakfast and fish boils. Love the view and the generous amount of space you get including a full kitchen. My wife and I have been coming here for years and would highly recommend this hotel for both couples and families.
