Summary: Early check in at 2 was the first perk! Thanks Amy & Brad! The view from this loft apartment is phenomenal! The place is tiny, but mighty - with everything needed for a get away. Clean & bright, decorated with cheery colors & whimsy. Comfy bed & couch. Big enough Smart TV for those who care. There's a sweet library in walking distance. We were staying during late fall so many businesses nearby were closed. Out of those that were open I would highly recommend the Sunset Harbor Grill right next door. Locals were there & sad to see it close "for winter" (10/26). Great steak and ribs! Our hosts had many publications, pamphlets and maps available about Door County and made sure we knew to go to Peninsula State Park. (Open 6 am - 11 pm) We went hiking there, saw gorgeous fall colors from Eagle Tower & ate at the public golf course clubhouse. (Right across the bay from The Loft.) We went back to see the stars around 10 too. The same day pass worked for entry up north at Gill's Rock Park. So many of the towns were within 15-30 minutes of each other. It was busy, but we have heard summer traffic is crazy. We enjoyed being part of a crowd and happy we weren't part of the masses. Coming back to our "home" was a delight because it was centrally located - and had the view shown here - four chairs facing a sunset over water. Even in hats, gloves, & down coats we were cozy and super thrilled to be sitting there. We watched sooooooooo many people park their cars and snap photos of this view!
