The drawers all very helpful and friendly. Exactly what you would expect/want from a sweet family owned hotel. The grounds were clean and beautiful. My kids loved the pool. Very quiet area; and although families stay here we never heard anyone while we were in our room. Mattresses were okay; and customers should k ow that the steps to the pool and most rooms are a bit steep. But we really enjoyed our stay here.

We enjoyed this property very much. Rooms outside the pool area was very convenient. Wonderful firepit area and new grills. Having access to the lobby for coffee, tea or juice after hours was wonderful. Down the road from the piggy wiggly and all things Sister Bay. So convenient. Look no further. You will not be disappointed in this beautifully updated Inn.

Check-in was quick and easy. I was also allowed to check in early. Parking was close. Owners and staff were very nice! The pool and hot tub shut down at 10 pm and unfortunately so does the fire pit. So, if you're looking for very quite after 10, this is your place! Also, there are only steps to get down to the bottom level of the building, so if you have a suitcase, be prepared to pull it up the grassy hill. Only a 3-4 minute drive to downtown Sister Bay. Overall, nice place!

The property is close to amenities. Hotel is clean. Wish I had a firmer mattress. Although free breakfast, is a grab and go and does not open until 8AM. Would have liked to get a fresh brewed coffee at 7. Owner was not familiar with different activities or sites in the area when asked. Should get familiar with eating places in the area Lure is a great restaurant that is close; and Door county is known for cherries; we wanted to go Cherry Picking. One is in Sister Bay down the street!

I will definitely come back

We spent 3 nights at a different hotel in Sister Bay and decided to extension our trip for one more night and had to find a room last minute. I booked at Sister Bat Inn thinking it looked decent based on the pictures and descriptions. I honestly didn’t expect much, especially with the understated facade. I was pleasantly surprised. The reception area is super clean and welcoming. I met the owners and they are dedicated and friendly. Excellent customer service. The rooms are clean and welcoming, the mattresses and pillows are comfortable. The outdoor areas are well maintained. The pool and hot tub are clean, I even witness the owner himself get in the pool in the morning making sure everything was clean and working properly. I used the grill provided to make steak in the evening and the staff helped me set up the grill, again, excellent and caring staff. It is an excellent hotel for the price, great value, highly recommended.

The location is perfect as you are close to many restaurants and shops. Al Johnson's is a 20-30 min walk, although it's a bit hilly. The staff at the inn are super friendly and there's a good variety of snacks for breakfast. It's a cute hotel that's nice and quiet. For the price, this is a good place to stay.

My family and I had a wonderful stay at the Sister Bay Inn. Our room was spacious and clean with comfortable beds. We spent a lot of time in the lovely pool and hot tub. There’s also a fire pit and plenty of open space for kids to play. The location is a little bit outside the center of town, but walkable. The continental breakfast was a good way to start the day. The staff were friendly and helpful, answered all our questions and made helpful recommendations on things to do around town.
