HOLIDAY HOME TOUR:
SEE WISCONSIN'S LARGEST HOME IN HOLIDAY SPLENDOR!
As we watch the beautifully colored leaves slowly float down to the chilled ground from their branches high above we find ourselves bundling up and beginning to prepare for the holidays. Chilled lemonade has been replaced with hot cider and it won't be long before we see snow-covered evergreens beautifully decorated and twinkling with thousands of tiny lights.
Northern Door County's Holiday Home Tour is just around the corner and if you're planning to visit November 29 - December 1st you can experience the wonderful sights and sounds of the holidays on the Tour. Ellison Bay Manor, Wisconsin's largest private residence, will be one of the five incredible homes on this year's tour. There is a high demand for tickets so if you are interested in partaking in the Tour please contact the Northern Door Children's Center at 920.854.4244. Trolley reservations are required for Ellison Bay Manor and can be made when purchasing tickets. All proceeds benefit the Children's Center.
Also plan for our 16th Annual Old Fashioned Christmas Celebration Thanksgiving Weekend - www.EagleHarborInn.com |

Life is too short to be anything but kind
Years ago a friend of mine enlightened me with a philosophy: "Life's too short to be anything but kind". It was a powerful statement and it has resonated with me ever since. I believe it's important to remember that we are all in this world together so we might as well make it a pleasant place to be. In order for that to happen kindness needs to be an essential part of each day for every one of us.
Eagle Harbor Inn has incorporated this idea into our business philosophy. When I'm working at the front desk, I really enjoy meeting all of the lovely people that stay with us. I like listening to stories about where they call home, why they are here for a visit and how they first learned about Eagle Harbor Inn. I take great pleasure in giving them recommendations on delicious places to eat or fun ways to spend their afternoon and it's really wonderful to watch them enjoy every day of their vacation.
This morning I was reminded again of the importance of kindness as I was watching the morning news. A man named George Saunders, an author and public speaker, was speaking to George Stephanopoulos about how we can all help to spread kindness. He believes that the world would be a better place if we all took the time to be kinder to one another. I encourage you to click on the link below to read Mr. Saunder's speech and think about the impact each of us can have on the world we live in. Christine @ the Front Desk
