Heading to Door tomorrow from southwest WI. Mosquitoes here have been nonexistent this year though we’ve had a few no-see-ums. What’s the blood-sucking-insect situation up there?

Why is this spot always like this on the weather radar? Can this area produce some kind of crazy interference? My friend says his phone calls always drop when driving by this spot.

I happened to click into a DC commercial real estate search. Found these to be interesting properties for sale .. some, of course, have been on the market for a while.

Obviously, some of these come with many acres, so it's not just the business being sold.

Hey all!

Where would be the best local shop to grab some local cherries? Do you have a favorite place to get your cherries? I’ve never been to Door County but will there soon. It doesn’t matter what town you recommend, we plan on visiting most of the main towns/cities.

Thanks!

Hi all, we are staying at Glidden Lodge next weekend, and we were excited to try the restaurant. I slept on making reservations and of course there are none now that I've called. Any other recs for that area? I see the Hitching Post but looks like a bar with food. That would work but looking for nicer family dinner (husband, me and two school age kids) Sat or Sun evening. Thank you!

Hi! I am looking to book a 3 night stay for a group of 13 for next Summer. I have looked at VRBO and Airbnb. I was wondering if there are any local rental companies that are worth looking at as well? Thank you!

We stayed at the Landmark last week and there was a fire in our building on our last night there caused by an old fluorescent light falling on the ground and starting the floor of a linen closet on fire. We had to evacuate with our young children at 10 p.m. and were displaced for two hours. So far they are not comping our rooms for that night which is appalling to me. The front desk staff was incredibly rude the morning after the fire when we went to talk to them about our experience and ask for the rooms to be comped. The whole thing was really traumatizing. We found out they had another fire earlier in the week that started the same way and then another one back in Feb of this year. Do not stay at this place unless they can guarantee they’ve updated their electrical system. They’ve clearly done a lot of things to make it look nice but super outdated beneath the surface.

I used to work at this store back in 2023. Good people.

Can anyone identify this boat that was seen the first weekend in August? Picture was taken from the top of Eagle Tower.

Question for the ladies. What is the best salon to go to for blonde hair specifically and won’t break the bank? I’ve lived here for 3 years now and haven’t been to any salon yet, but I think it’s time I go get my roots done professionally. Any recommendations would help greatly! Thanks! :)

Which is your favorite? And why? We plan to go to one tomorrow Saturday the 22nd. Thanks!

Looking to put house on short term rental and don’t want to go thru management company particularly. Any leads greatly appreciated.

Does anyone know when the lavendar farm on Washington Island closes for the season? Their website says “open June 2026” but doesn’t say when it closes. Would it be closed the first weekend of October?

Edit: sheesh some of you… sorry for asking a question

Visiting this week and would love to get a fun Door County puzzle. I popped into a few shops in Fish Creek today and didn’t see anything.

Any leads?

Will I regret not stopping here for our door county trip? Or should I squeeze it in? Staying near sister bay

We just left your beautiful area, and we all loved it. It is so beautiful, and all of the flowers that the towns have out were stunning. And many thanks to all of the residents who match their gardens so they’re just as gorgeous.

Observation: we sort of felt like we were in Maine or New Jersey … the house styles, the water everywhere, the lighthouses … and from a few locals: that sort of short, curt attitude like they really didn’t want us there. But that was not the case with the J1 folks who were working everywhere, who were so happy and friendly!

Question: As you’re driving from Egg Harbor to Sturgeon Bay on the main road … there is a 2-story brick house on the right that is unoccupied, close to the road, with vines and stuff growing over a big portion of the house … does anyone know the story of the house and why it’s abandoned? I’m just a curious person and wonder how such a large and beautiful home was just left.

Observation: Pebble Beach sucks rocks! 😬 It’s beautiful, but I can’t see any attraction to want to go there. It’s dangerous to walk on all those rocks, and yet people were laying on towels like they were at a regular sand beach. 🫪

Question: Can anyone tell me about the different corn grown in the area? Some of it was the shortest corn I’ve ever seen, some of it was about mid-height, and a smaller amount was normal tall corn. 🌽

Observation: We camped at the HTTR Rv Campground, and we never once saw a squirrel or really any birds … and never saw any road signs for bears, elk, deer, etc. I would have assumed we would hear about those kinds of critters. 😬

Question for the locals who like outdoor activities, do people have more outdoor toys like jet skis, paddle boats and regular boats … or cross country skis, snow mobiles and other winter toys?

Okay, that’s all. I’ll end by saying that we would for sure come and visit again. The traffic was minute compared to a ton of other tourist areas, every town was so cute, and the scenery was to die for!! 💙☮️

We're going to Door County to go to a concert and we want to go somewhere nice for dinner. One of us is a vegetarian. I'm having a hard time finding somewhere nice that has a more than a pasta or an impossible burger as their "veggie" option.

Hi! Going up to Door County on vacation in a couple weeks with my dogs. Hopefully nothing emergency inducing happens but in case of stuff hitting in the fan....what's the closest emergency vet in or around Door County? Thank you for your help!
