The Neighborhood:

Ellison Bay is a quiet, scenic village at the northern tip of the Door County peninsula-the part of Door County travelers come to when they want fewer crowds, darker skies, and a slower pace than the busier southern towns. You're surrounded by state parks, working harbors, family-run restaurants, and some of the best stargazing in the Midwest.



Parks and outdoors (all within a 15-minute drive):

Newport State Park-Wisconsin's only designated International Dark Sky Park, with 11 miles of Lake Michigan shoreline, hiking, and beaches

Door Bluff Headlands County Park-rugged bluff-top trails and Green Bay overlooks

Ellison Bluff County Park-dramatic 100-foot cliff views over Green Bay, especially at sunset

Europe Bay and Europe Lake-a quiet hike to a secluded sand beach

The Mink River Estuary-kayaking and birdwatching in one of the most pristine estuaries on the Great Lakes



Dining and local favorites:

Shoreline Restaurant at the harbor-fresh whitefish and Lake Michigan sunset views

The Viking Grill-home of the original Door County fish boil

Door County Creamery in Sister Bay-artisan goat cheese and gelato

Al Johnson's Swedish Restaurant in Sister Bay-the famous goats-on-the-roof spot, 15 minutes south



Day trips and easy drives:

Washington Island ferry from Northport (10 minutes away)-a 30-minute ride to Wisconsin's oldest Icelandic community, lavender fields, and Schoolhouse Beach

Sister Bay (15 min south)-shops, galleries, waterfront park, and restaurants

Fish Creek and Peninsula State Park (30 min south)-Northern Sky Theater, Eagle Bluff Lighthouse, and miles of trails

Cana Island Lighthouse (45 min)- one of Door County's most photographed spots



Seasonal highlights:

Spring: cherry blossom season across the peninsula in mid-to-late May

Summer: kayaking, beaches, farmers markets, and fish boils

Fall: peak fall colors typically the first three weeks of October-Door County is one of the top leaf-peeping destinations in the Midwest

Winter: snowshoeing at Newport State Park, ice formations along the shoreline, and the hot tub going under clear winter skies

A small grocery store and a couple of cafes are in Ellison Bay village itself-a quick drive from the house. Sister Bay has a larger grocery store (Piggly Wiggly), pharmacy, and gas, all about 10 minutes away.
