Or, hike the nearby Ridges Sanctuary for some quiet one-on-one time on the scenic trails.

You and your significant other will love the breathtaking, romantic sunset vistas while toasting to each other.
Chalet on the Shore – Sturgeon Bay
This Chalet on the Shore was constructed to resemble the hull of a ship—and it’s made of wood from ships dating back to World War II. The private location is literally just feet from the water on Sturgeon Bay, the perfect setting for enjoying the tranquil views together.
Step out for a stroll with your significant other on one of the walking or hiking trails next to the cottage, or visit downtown Sturgeon Bay close by to shop and share a romantic meal at Bluefront Café or Trattoria Dal Santo. Take a waterside stroll or a walk past a scenic lighthouse for the cherry on top of your romantic getaway.
Egg Cottage – Egg Harbor
Stay in your own castle on a hill at the delightful Egg Cottage perched atop the hillside bluff of downtown Egg Harbor. Here, you and your person will get the best of both worlds in a main street location that still offers private sunset views over the water. Walk to the beach to watch sailboats glide across the water and browse unique shops and tasty restaurants like The Village Cafe for days on end of surprising fun.
Inside the cottage, the updated amenities still hold the historic charm of the original 1898 home. With a screened-in gazebo, Adirondack chairs and a whole backyard to yourselves, this Door County cottage was made for unforgettable romantic vacations.
