What a great place!!!!
After
always staying on the Bay Side,
we decided to give the (quiet side) a try. They recommended great places to eat and things to do
and see.
In this world of customer no-service, this is a great place to go to be treated like a king and queen. It was the most relaxing week we have ever spent in Door County.
The Ridges will now be our go-to place.
