Egg Harbor Lodge News

Anybody who has been to Egg Harbor for our annual Pumpkin Patch festival knows that cancellations for rooms for that weekend are a hot commodity.  For the most part all of us innkeepers have been booked for months.  That being said, we have a cancellation in our Stonehearth Suite… hurry it will go quickly. It is a two bedroom /two bathroom suite (1200 sq. ft.)  It is perfect for two couples or 4 adults. There is a fireplace and a whirlpool.  It has the most unbelievable view of the water with its 50 ft. balcony.  It runs 350.00 per night (250.00 for 2) and is probably one of the best values in Door County considering the view, the spaciousness and its furnishings. I am not bragging… that’s a fact.  I am sticking with my three night minimum and for all you barterers out there… this isn’t a flee market, the rate stands.  The weekend looks cool but nice and the colors are really getting pretty. 

At our Egg Harbor Business Association dinner last night  held at The Orchard’s, our Village President Nancy Fisher presented our EHBA president Karen Peterson (Maxwell’s House) with a pretty special award.  It seems our little village was voted the People’s Choice award… The Best Wisconsin Town for Galleries and Art Scene.  Very cool indeed.  Here is our very own Karen Peterson and EHBA member Fred Anderson(The Ashbrooke) with the award. 

After the meeting everyone gathered around the TV to watch Door County’s own Eli Mattson on America’s Got Talent.  Eli came in second place much to the dismay of the entire county.  We wish Eli the best and know many good things are coming his way.

This is part of our garden at the entrance to Egg Harbor Lodge.  Our gardener Sarah  Jerry does a phenomenal job. 

Businesses in Door County have started their tradition of decorating for Autumn.  There a pumpkins and corn stalks galore.  Farmers markets are selling apples, cider and lots of great vegetables.  Egg Harbor Lodge is in full fall gear… the only thing we haven’t done is think of a theme for our scarecrow for Egg Harbor’s Pumpkin Patch Festival (October 10-12).  Last year we came in third… it is a pretty tough competition.  Places like the Landmark or Newport Resort have a bit more man-power (or like we say at EHL, girl power) than we do. This is our scarecrow last year… looks a little like Johnny Depp to me.
