Step away from the everyday and discover the timeless beauty of Wisconsin’s celebrated shoreline on this unforgettable getaway to Door County and Washington Island. Your journey begins in a truly memorable way as we board the SS Badger, crossing Lake Michigan on this historic steamship for a relaxing and scenic voyage—an experience that feels like stepping back in time while enjoying sweeping lake views and fresh lake breezes.

Once in Door County, enjoy dramatic coastal landscapes, historic lighthouses, charming villages, and local flavors that define this beloved destination. Thoughtfully paced days allow time to explore, savor delicious regional meals, browse unique shops, and enjoy special musical performances—all while staying comfortably at Open Hearth Lodge. A visit to Washington Island adds another layer of adventure, with peaceful scenery, rich heritage, and a slower island rhythm that perfectly complements the journey.

From shoreline cliffs and lavender fields to wine tastings, orchards, and evenings filled with music and fellowship, this Door County experience is designed to be both enriching and relaxing—creating memories you’ll treasure long after returning home.
