    Karen S.

    Glidden Lodge Beach Resort is one of our favorite places to stay when we visit amazing Door County. This pretty lodge is located a bit 'away from it all', but we love the views that make it worth just staying put in any/all of the waterfront condos. Our recent stay was in a beautiful three bedroom condo near the northern end of the building. Mother Nature did not cooperate with us the week we were here, but the amenities at Glidden kept us cozy and relaxed. Clean pool, well maintained hot tub, fireplace, comfortable beds, amazing master bathroom with large walk-in shower, great television reception (and Netflix!), takeout food purchased nearby, cheese and crackers, and many beverages of choice. Happy Days! Our only issue, as we are not as able-bodied as we once were, was getting our luggage up and down the stairs to the second floor bedrooms. A bit of a challenge, but we took our time and sort of dragged and bumped them upstairs and downstairs. We do appreciate the luggage carts and elevators to help us get to and from the parking area and second floor rooms. Hope to see you again real soon.

    My outside view around 6:45 a.m.

    We are used to staying in Sturgeon Bay, so the location was just fine for us- driving to all the fun towns (Fish Creek, Bailey's Harbor, etc) is a half hour or less.

    This place is right on the water and just a little bit away from it all, yet still close enough to…read moredowntown Sturgeon Bay so you're a short drive away. Our room had everything we needed: a kitchen with all included dishware, paper towels, coffee filters, etc., a nice updated shower with good water pressure, a fold out couch/sofabed (which we used, so it was definitely a necessity!), flat screen smart TVs with all the hookups for your apple TV etc if you choose to bring it (this is a must for us in the evenings since we like to watch our shows and chill out before bed) and a balcony with table & chairs to sit outside and enjoy the view. Our room was a bit humid - since we had the wall unit A/C and a fan in the main bedroom it never fully cooled down to where we would have liked it, but it was tolerable (we were out and about so much during our time in Door County, so we really weren't at the resort too much except to sleep!). I maybe heard a small amount of hall noise here and there but very rare (we were on the third floor). I never heard any of our neighboring units, so that was a big plus. The front desk staff were very kind and helpful. We used the washer/dryer and ice machine, as well as took advantage of the free coffee (delicious!). We also needed to print a couple of documents and were able to do that on a computer near the front desk on the second floor. We did not use the pool facilities, but both the indoor and outdoor pool looked very clean and many people were using both daily. The housekeeping is a bit unique in that can specify if you would like someone to enter your suite to clean/empty trash, replace towels, etc. or if you would just like replacement items (if this is the case you can fill out a dry erase form and place it outside your suite).

    This place is gorgeous, right on the bay. It's similar to an apartment with a full kitchen. We had…read morea plumbing issue and called the front desk. Jeremiah was here in less than 5 minutes and took care of the problem. We can sit out on the balcony and watch the gorgeous sunset. This place has it all!!

    We snagged the last remaining cabin available for the long fourth of July weekend. I was so excited…read moreto find a reasonably priced one bedroom cabin on the water in door county that I picked up the phone to secure it right away. They have online booking, I didn't use it as I prefer to call. The staff was friendly, letting me know this was an offsite cabin and they would charge my credit card right away for 50% of the rental. They also went over the cancellation policy. What they Didn't Tell me was there wasn't any WIFI at the cabin. One star taken away. There are 3 little cabins along the side of the road in Little Harbor 6 feet from the shore that are owned by Snug Harbor. Halfway between Sturgeon Bay and Egg Harbor. The cabin was old, very rustic and immaculately clean. Small bedroom with a queen bed, living room with loveseat, chair and working wood fireplace. They even supplied the wood! Small dining area with a kitchenette that had, cookware, dishes, silverware, towels, toaster, coffee maker with coffee, stove and refrigerator with freezer. Very nice. They even had fresh flowers on the table to greet us. The bathroom was small and nicely stocked with soaps, shampoo and conditioner. The only downside to the cabin is it's lack of light/ lighting fixtures. We had a nice deck overlooking the water, a fire pit feet off shore, outdoor grill and enough sun and shade to make it the perfect hang out spot on a long weekend.

There are grills and picnic tables outside to enjoy the waterfront and a community fire pit for gathering in the the evenings. We also rented a boat for two days and were able to use the dock right outside. Laurel at the front desk is so welcoming the staff is quick to respond and make our stay both comfortable and memorable.

That said, I also…read moredidn't expect to spend half my weekend developing a complex relationship with the parking situation. We arrived on Friday around 5 p.m., and not a single parking spot was in sight. We ended up next door in an unpaved lot that was also packed, but with a little maneuvering (and some light praying), I managed to squeeze my car into something that vaguely resembled a space. At check-in, we asked what the parking policy was for paying guests. The front desk clerk smiled and said, "You will always have a spot." I looked at her and said, "Well... I don't now." And mentioned the joy of hauling all my stuff across two parking lots. She explained it was the Friday fish fry chaos, and that Saturdays and Sundays are just as fun with fish boils twice a day. Her advice? Come back late enough and you'll be golden. She wasn't wrong, but still. A little stressful. Now for the positives! The room had a fridge and microwave, which came in handy, and a sliding door that opened to a cute little courtyard. The beds were surprisingly comfy, and everything was clean. The room did have that slightly musty "I live near a lake" vibe, but nothing too tragic. Someone made off with our patio chairs, but at that point I was too relaxed (or maybe too tired from carrying my suitcase across the gravel lot) to care. The best part? The waterfront bar and grill on the property. Great spot to relax with a drink and enjoy the view. All in all, it was a comfortable, budget-friendly stay in a fantastic location right on the water. Just maybe pack a wagon for your luggage... and bring your parking patience.

    This place absolutely sucks. Worst motel I've ever stayed at in my life. Why? Let's do this…read more 1. Our room has ants--our dog's food dish was swarming with them! Also had to kill 3 earwigs, 1 centipede and 4+ spiders. Didn't realize "pet friendly" means you can bring your rare bug collection. If you come here, bring a jumbo box of live preying mantises and turn 'em loose. They will be in heaven. 2. Water pressure in the shower is virtually zero. They don't have water pipes, just a 90 year old geezer with a bagel-size prostate weakly trying to tinkle on you. If it rains during your stay, get out there and try to rinse the shampoo out of your hair. Not sure if the old man handles the showers in all rooms, or if there is a team of them. 3. The carpets are stained and disgusting. Only thing missing was a chalk outline of a dead body. Do not recwalk on them barefoot. 4. The Wi-Fi is great--if you're happy with AOL dial-up from 1998. (Good way to prevent warning reviews like this?) 5. I'm not saying the beds are awful, but I am driving straight to my chiropractor. Had more restful nights sleep camping in a rock quarry. 6. The room smells like a really bad fart. (In fairness, that might be my girlfriend's fault.) Nah, I'm not giving this dump the benefit of the doubt. You'd think with the junkyard doors (gaps big enough for bugs to march right in without ducking their heads) the stank would eventually fade. Nope. The bouquet is musty with notes of wet dog, and a hint of decomposition. That reminds me--Beach Harbor Resort (resort!) is pet-friendly! Why wouldn't it be? There's nothing a pack of hounds with dysentery could do that would make this place worse. If the Association of Incontinent Senior Dogs is looking for a venue to hold their annual conference, book now. Just make sure your shots are up to date, especially tetanus. In summary, this dump sucks so hard it pretty much ruined my life. (That's saying something, considering how bad my ex and her parents were.) Think of a haunted house, minus the charm and character. Cannot believe they charged us anything to stay here, much less $200/night. The owners of this hellhole ought to pay for therapy for my girlfriend and our kids.

    I can imagine what management meetings for this hotel are like:…read more Owner: I want more profit Manager: We can buy cheaper, super small and scratchier towels for people at the pool. Owner: Perfect well done manager, I want more profit Manager: We can buy the absolute cheapest tissue boxes for rooms. People may not like using these terrible tissues. Owner: They won't care, our location is what they pay for. I want more profit. Manager: we can make the restaurant more fun and add live and loud music on Friday and Saturday nights and attract more people, but people wanting to go to sleep at a normal time may not like it. Owner: everyone comes for the location. That's all they care about. Pros: nice waterfront location and views, walkable to main shopping areas, nice workers, sauna, parking lots as easy Cons: lots of cost cutting is apparent, worst tissues and toilet paper ever, you get two smallish towels, pool towels were extra thin and small, housekeeping did not work the room for two night stay, sink stopper did not close, no light near the room chair, $3 for cheap machine coffee in lobby, room smelled weird, room shares small balcony with neighboring room (luckily it was colder out, but this could have been a disaster), balcony light doesn't shut off and shades are not room darkening, room is too warm at night as heating system thermostat is not even close to accurate and bed is too warm, loud music late into the night from restaurant/bar, lobby and pool music is 50's and 60's (I hate that), bathroom fan super loud, pool and hot tub had lots of kids, hot tub jets didn't work.

The big problem with Stone Harbor is that their employees have a complete lack of awareness of what it means to work in the HOSPITALITY industry. They're rude, gruff and unhelpful. From the bar ("Are you talking to me???" - one bartender when being interrupted from her precious conversation with the clicque of other employees) to the front desk (incoherent mumbling, lack of empathy to the situation at hand -- we lost our car keys and unexpectedly needed to stay overnight after the tall ships festival) -- one just gets the feeling that every single person working there would rather be anywhere else than tending to guests. Housekeeping gets 5 stars. Bar staff - 0 stars. Everyone else, 1 star.
