Absolutely gorgeous and relaxing! Herb and his wife, Mari, own the entire little peninsula and have…read morenumerous cabins as well as a B&B in this space. We had the 'big cabin' for two nights. It was complete with linens and a full kitchen stocked with dishes. Definitely rustic but the entire island is. Fire pits, kayaks, rowboats, grills, playground, and stone beach all available to use for no extra charge! Next time we plan to try fishing here! Really can't say enough good about this place and the Gibsons.

Gibson's Resort was like a summer house to me for the first 10 years of my life! We would come up…read morehere every summer for about a week and spend time out on the Island. If you have never been to Washington Island, it is a real treat. It is totally different from the hustle and bustle that city live requires. I don't remember ever staying anywhere else besides Gibson's since we have been coming up here. Herb and his family have always been extremely nice to my family in welcoming us into their home. Essentially, that is what Gibson's is. There home. The resort used to be an old loggers house. About 20 rooms fill the top of the house, all complete with the exactly what you need for your stay - a bed and a dresser. No bathroom you say? Correct! That's what the outdoors are for.. Just kidding. There is a bathroom, but it is located towards the end of the hall. There is a men's washroom and a women's washroom, complete with a stand up shower and sink (and toilet). If you are looking for the following: *Luxury *Air conditioned splendor *Suites or executive style beds *Continental Breakfast You will not find those here. What you will find is peace, quiet and one of the most beautiful views of Lake Michigan you have ever seen, at an affordable price. As well as the rooms, Gibson's offers several cabins to rent as well, however, if you are looking to book a cabin, you better know you need one about a year and a half in advance because that's how far out the bookings are! If you just want to enjoy the beauty of Washington Island without breaking your bank, Gibson's is the way to go. It's old fashioned, it's beat up, but it feels like home.

We have come to Love this place over the years. My husband and I have been coming up to the island…read moretogether for 11 years to his families place. Most summers, we went to the usual places. sometimes good experiences sometimes not, but when there are few spots in town, you deal with it. That is never the case here. Always friendly faces, pleasant staff and quality ingredients, goods, & service. Whether you go to the farmers market, stop by the new honeymoon house, or try our the restaurant. You won't be sorry. We live in Chicago, so we're used to the farm to table prices, and that is what you should expect here too. Recently, Matt introduced himself after recognizing us from our frequent stops, which really makes you feel good to spend your money with a business like that. My next try for season 2024 is the studio that offers different levels of yoga. ! See you next year!

The Italian Salad was advertised to have olives and salami. Those are apparently infused into the dressing. The Wild Rice and pork belly entree was very spicy. We didn't find any wild rice. and the pork must have just been infused into this dish. The cornbread was like eating grit and dirt. The bread was great! Eat the bread.

The rooms we have stayed in have a real bedroom with two beds, a living room, a private bathroom and a galley kitchen. We used the heck out of the kitchen prepping at least a meal a day during our stays and we grilled on their guest grills. It's clear that the innkeepers Joel & Krista truly care about service and friendliness at the Town Liner. We'll be back. Five stars.

Have a sunset cocktail by the bay. (BYO) Restaurants for dinner are a short drive away. (Try the Washington Hotel restaurant. It's part of a culinary school.) The milky way visible even through your screen. Comfortable and homey. I looked at most of the accommodations on the island. I like the Sunset best. Varveita essa frábæru Íslenska eyja hótel!

A nice little inn, minutes from the ferry and the main street of the island where most of the…read morerestaurants are situated. Nice, little but not fancy. But you are not going to Washington Island to be fancy; stay at home to wear your Channel and frolic in satin sheets. You are warned. The double room is rather on the small side but has a bed, a sofa, a few lamps, a TV/DVD set and an attached bathroom. The bed is TINY and squeaky - so be prepared for a bed night of sleep or just send your significant other on the sofa in the middle of the night (works best for couples over 2 years). But what sold me on the place is the free bikes available to all guests. There are plenty of them, and you can even used tandems if it strikes your fancy (I tried and didn't like it AT ALL but who knows?!?). Very nice to go all around the island. Don't miss it. Several grills, chaise chairs and a fire pit and also there for your comfort. Take advantage of it. A solid option on the other side of the Death's Door.

We recent stayed in the Coho cabin. As soon as we arrived on a Friday afternoon, we were instructed…read morewhich cabin to go to. The wooden porch was covered with old leaves and debris. I swept immediately, would have been nice if they had a blower and cleaned it. The cabin is definitely old. Kitchen cabinets not secure. Floor worn out. But beds were clean and comfortable. These cabins are set back on the property. If they would clear our the large bushes directly in front of porch, we could have seen the lake. Also, you need to walk across the large front lawn to get to the lake. Lawn wasn't mowed and was atleast 3 inches high. They should upgrade cabins and take care of outside to make this resort a bit more comfortable.

OMG if you need all that this is not your place or Island to visit !! All the room's we toured on our visit were different and retro colors and rustic furnishings,kitchens were stocked with basic cooking items or could be had by asking owner,Gas grill at main lodge, charcoal grill's around property, all cabin's had refrigerators & stoves and some room's too and shared kitchen at lodge was fully stocked.

Great golf course! I have never stayed at the Resort however…read more The course is a standard 18 hole course featuring the following: * New 2 acre pond in 2000 * Gas and Pull Carts * Club Rentals * Putting Green * Free Shuttle service from the Washington Island Ferry dock to the course for golfers who prefer to leave their car on the mainland. * Pro/Gift Shop * NEW in 2006! Adventure Island Miniature Golf- 18 challenging holes * Pub and Grill The course itself is beautiful with open fairways and no houses or buildings to really worry about. It is a great course for beginners as well because if you are golfing during the week, and the Island isn't busy, you can spend your time working on your game! Prices are decent, and they have morning/twilight rates too!

The shower head is the kind that sprays a very fine mist, so you have to turn it hot so that it isn't too cool before it hits your body. But you can't beat the price or the location.
