What an quiet and elegant retreat in the midst of downtown Ephraim and enjoy views of the bay. The rooms were spacious and clean; the bed was super comfy; the property was well maintained. To a person, the staff was welcoming and helpful. Simply wonderful.
What a glorious getaway!! The location, wonderful staff, amenities all we do great.
We loved the Mayflower room and the beautiful porch view of flowers and the Bay. (A New England feel).
Restaurants, galleries etc were within walking distance.
We also enjoyed a play at nearby out door theater.
Very rememberable time!
this is a beautiful hotel! quiet, peaceful. worth every penny

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The setting was wonderful; location ideal. Breakfast on the front porch was so memorable.
Room was comfortable and charming. Amenities were well thought out...even a shower cap and nail file. Only thing lacking in room was a full length mirror, but so minor a detail in the overall package that we hesitated to mention it. We did, only so you would know we are real and sincere in our comments.
The staff couldn't do enough for us, and the owner was friendly and more than obliging. That would be our choice to stay at should we make another trip to Door County. In fact, if we couldn't stay there we probably wouldn't go back because staying any where else would be a disappointment.
This was a nice place to stay in Door County. However, kids are absolutely not allowed so be careful when booking. We unknowingly brought our 3 month baby along, which was frowned upon and we were told the baby had to leave. Upsetting to us, but a good place for people without kids to stay!
Our experience staying at the Hillside Waterfront Hotel was absolutely outstanding. Both Diane and Julia made our stay feel first class at every step of the way. They anticipate any questions and do everything they can to make you comfortable. The rooms are private, extremely comfortable, and very relaxing. We visited in the off-season and will be back when it warms up again!

They claim you can't book through hotels.com
Worst experience I can remember with a hotel. I've stayed many more nights in hotels the last few years than I'd like to admit, so felt obliged to write a review for hotels.com users since it directly relates.
- We booked about a month in advance but when we arrived and were told that there was no booking in our name.
- We were told that the hotel has no relationship with hotels.com and that 'Hotels.com just lists every property without permission'
- We were told they could call someone (called Bob or something) who could tell us which other places in the area might have space - we declined this and booked at the nearby Water Street Inn which I can definitely recommend.
- The attitude of the owner was a bit shocking. No surprise, no apology, just a "They keep doing this, we don't have a booking" response. It made it obvious that they do this a lot.
- When checking in at our nearby hotel, the receptionist said that they've heard the same from other people.
So, in conclusion, if you're on here you know that the hotel obviously has listed itself here so the owner is lying. Especially when you consider there are verified reviews from people who have successfully stayed. The only motivation for this that I can think of is that they accept the booking but will 'lose' it if someone books direct as it enables them to avoid the commission to hotels.com.
As it turned out, The Water Street Inn was lovely so all's well that ends well. But we got lucky to find it with no notice!
Amazing and outstanding from room accommodations to amenities to breakfast. Staff was helpful in everything! Highly recommended!

Peaceful, relaxing retreat.
Perfect from start to finish. Easy check-in, gorgeous room, relaxing and quiet atmosphere. Would recommend to anyone. Families would likely prefer the cottages to staying in the main house.
I loved everything. The view looking out to the sail boats to the soft colors of the room to the cleanliness & care given to details to the veranda where I had my early a.m.coffee & late night wine. Everything and everyone was very welcoming . I stayed in the day lily room decorated in soft yellows and clean whites. 4 poster bed, sheets & pillows were so easy to rest in and the bathroom was spotless. The towels and linen looked like new, they were that white They even had wipes next to the t,v. remote. Continental breakfast was fresh with wonderful sweet breads & fresh fruits . Plenty of coffee/tea in the room and also in the bfk, area available all day & night, Loved everything about this treasure of a B&B and the owner & staff so welcoming & warm.
Everything was wonderful! Ephraim was a perfect little town to stay in the winter. Close to everything in door county. We loved it! Awesome breakfast and tea time :)
