A Vacation Education
There are several schools in Door County open during the winter for one to be able to learn; whether improving on a skill you already know or challenging yourself to learn something completely new.
The Clearing is one of those places. It is considered a "Folk School", a place to learn about various non-credited subjects in a non-competitive environment including the rich history of the area.
Door County is filled with people that have varied expertise and are willing to teach for free. They are a wealth of knowledge on many subjects. We are lucky to have such opportunity in these winter months when it is fun to get together, meet new people, and learn together. Classes range from Artisan Bread making & knitting, to learning about current medical topics from six retired physicians. There is a class in Wine Tasting, The Geology of Door County or Classic Literature in Film. There's even a great class to learn the art of caning a chair-almost a completely lost art. They aren't huge brain bending classes but they will certainly nourish your soul. Also sometime in the not too distant future an iron forge will be constructed on the property. ( I love blacksmithing, I can hardly wait)
Aside from the classes, being on the property is a retreat in itself. Founded by famous landscape architect Jens Jensen as a spot to 'clear the mind' its mission is to foster a peace within. The Jens Jensen center is a beautiful northern building where classes are taught. On the surrounding property one is welcome to snowshow & hike to the bluffs overlooking the Bay of Green Bay. There is a map on their website of all the trails and how to get to the Cliffhouse, where Jens Jensen stayed, literally on the cliff. It's one of many iconic places in Door County. There is a short biography of Jensen on
The Clearing website. It is very interesting.
To learn more about the Clearing or Jens Jensen check out their website www.theclearing.org. Sign up for your classes! |

Sledding in the Park, You?
Have you heard of Hill 17? It's the 17th Hole Hill on the Peninsula State Park Golf Course where you are invited to tickle your childish fancy and enjoy sledding. After a snowfall, the hill is peppered with children and adults riding down the hill on everything from a sled or saucer to a piece of plastic big enough for 10 though I do not recommend this! And Toboggans are outlawed due to the speed they can muster.
We now offer sleds for you to borrow:  Just ask us at the front desk! First come first served for two styles from which to choose.
Think of a beautiful snowy day in the park with you feeling like a kid again, enjoying all that winter offers! And by the time you tire, hot mulled cider will be awaiting you at the Inn, during treat time. Life like that is an everyday experience here at the Inn!
