What A Place!
Bay Shore Inn
By Donna Marie Pocius
Special to DoorCountyNavigator.com
Bay Shore Inn is a historic resort that is keeping up with the times.
Last year, as part of an extensive renovation project, 33 of the inn's suites were remodeled. Each suite received new kitchen finishes and an updated decorating scheme. New cabinet doors, stunning granite countertops and new sinks and faucets were installed. Oh, and this year, Bay Shore Inn accommodations received new mattresses.
"This is a premier property in Door County-one of the nicest ones. We are on the water with a beach and many other fine amenities. We want to keep it that way and continue with upgrades," according to Bay Shore Inn management.
The waterfront resort is located at 4205 Bay Shore Drive, Sturgeon Bay
Although Bay Shore Inn is keeping up with the times with upgrades, it also has spaces that retain original character. You can see and feel it for yourself when you check in at the historic main lodge. It has a fireplace, sitting room and inviting sun porch in proximity to the water.
In addition to the fully equipped and updated kitchens, the suites include a bedroom with a king-size bed, two-person whirlpool Jacuzzis, tastefully furnished living areas (with a sofa sleeper) cable TV and DVD/VCR and wireless Internet.
Outdoors at Bay Point Inn don't miss the private sand beach, tennis and basketball courts. Also, bikes, paddle boats, kayaks and row boats can be rented for free.
This spacious property also has indoor and outdoor heated pools and whirlpool, a fitness center and group and conference facilities. Learn more about Bay Point Inn and other fine places to stay in Door County at www.doorcountynavigator.com. |

Here's Something to Do!
Door County House & Garden Walk Set for July 31
By Donna Marie Pocius
Special to DoorCountyNavigator.com
Five homes and gardens will be open to the public during the 52th annual Door County House and Garden Walk on Tuesday, July 31.
The event, which runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., is sponsored by the Ministry Door County Medical Center Auxiliary.
Included on the tour is the 6,000 square foot colonial style home of Jackie and Tim Danis. After overseeing a major remodel of the Egg Harbor home in 2010, Jackie said she decided to put the property on the house walk this year so people can see what is possible.
"Look at a home as a clean slate, and you can start over. Be open to possibilities. Anything can be changed," she said.
The couple gutted most areas of the home, opening it up to a view of Green Bay waters. In the great room, they transformed a sterile gray and white interior to a spectacular space with architectural ceiling beams, a tall stone wood-burning fireplace, warm hardwood flooring and more.
Other properties on this year's tour include a coastal cottage style condo and the Briggs Orchid Inn in Sturgeon Bay. An open concept home with abundant Door County art is also open in Sturgeon Bay. Rounding out the tour this year is a 1,300 square foot rustic cabin in Fish Creek and gardens on a 1.5 acre wooded property in Egg Harbor.
The walk donation is $25 with tickets available at the Door County Visitor Bureau, information centers, area banks and some retailers. Tickets are also sold at the homes on walk day. Call 920/746-1071 or e-mail auxiliaryfunctions@ministryhealth.org. |
