First, we had a hard time finding the property as there was no signage for Wilder Inn. The room was nothing like the pictures showed, not even close. I was not expecting anything fancy, but I do expect something like what the pictures of a single room show. I chose a "water" room, thinking that meant that we would have a water view, but that was not the case. I'm not sure what "water" means when choosing a room here, as none of the rooms had a water view. The shower did not drain well, and we had someone else's hair in the water that pooled around our feet. The positives were that the bed was comfortable and the location was convenient.

We loved the location!! Breakfast left a lot to be desired, on the info sheet at hotel it was called continental breakfast, and online it described it as grab and go. To me it wasn’t really either. We also had an issue getting clean towels, when we checked in the gal said place dirty towels in the provided bag, and set on chair outside door. No bag was provided, but they did pick up our dirty towels. Never replaced them, I checked in the Lobby area 2 different times to talk to someone, but the sign said will return shortly. Thank goodness the gal in the room next to us gave us some towels so we could shower.

Wilder Inn

We checked in and our room and had no electricy and a floor lamp with a severed cord. We alerted the front desk staff , who located the breaker and turned the power back on. He also removed but did not replace the broken floor lamp, and showed me how I could turn on the breaker if the power were to go out again. The room we were in smelled like a mildew basement, and several spiders were found over the course of our three day stay. The hotel has a pool, but it was half empty, full of leaves and other debris, and unkept. Weeds were growing all aroung the wooden pool fence which needs to be painted. The room was clean, but needs new carpeting and furniture. The tv was placed in a corner of the room, 15 feet from the bed, making it difficult to watch. The outside of our room door was covered in spider webs. The parking lot is not lighted, so you are in total darkness late at night, which can be creepy. Our room was directly over the Office, so in the morning we could hear the staff or other guests talking On the positive side, the hotel offers complimentary coffee and breakfast in the morning, and is in a good location with walking to nearby shops and restaurants..

The place was very clean, comfortable and the staff EXCELLENT! I had booked (last minute) for 2 nights and was very happy to find a place that had availability. This was my first time ever to Door County and very happy we came. On our first day here, an issue came up and I need to leave next day. The new owners were very understanding and worked with me to resolve. If you want clean, comfort, great location please check them out. They will be my first choice when I come back.

The location was a block from the water and a few minutes away from the fish boil. The manager was very friendly and accommodating. A big storm caused a lot of damage and they were almost finished with the clean up. The room was comfortable and spacious. If you’re lucky to get a cinnamon roll they were delicious.

What a gem! My husband and I had booked two nights at this lovely inn and liked it so much we decided to stay an extra night. Trent, the owner is personable and very knowledgeable about where to go and what to do (he’s a former chef!). He did everything to make our stay perfect. The furnishings are cozy and most everything in the rooms (we stayed in two different ones) is up to date. You can’t beat the location for walkability, restaurants are a few steps away and the view of the water is just gorgeous. We look forward to coming back to the area and staying here!
