This was one of the cleanest properties we've stayed at. The staff was super friendly. The location was great! It was a 5 minute drive to everything in downtown Sister Bay and a ten minute walk to nearby Pebble Beach. The amenities included the indoor pool, hot tub and two cozy fire pits! We didn't bring our pets with but they have a separate wing for dogs including a dog wash! The view from our room of the woods was beautiful. I can only imagine the colors in the fall! The front desk had water, wine, pop and snacks available for purchase which was great for late night munchies. We would absolutely stay here again.

Our room had a musty smell that we couldn't get rid of.

High quality mattresses with very good support (appeared new). The window heater, cooler units were also new and temperature control and air flow were excellent. The building and grounds are attractive and nicely managed. Prices are reasonable in comparison with other motels and inns.

Room 2013: The shower curtain rod was not securely applied to the plastic wall surface and collapsed with the weight of one damp bath towel. The toilet would immediately fill and flush (this was discovered after 9 pm when the front desk was no longer occupied), With some adjustments to the lift mechanism, it worked. Could have clearer diagrams on the doors to clearly map the best escape routes

Our room was very clean, quiet and comfortable. We did not have a pet with us but I was very impressed by the fact that the motel is pet friendly and even has a dog wash station. We changed our room reservation to include a 3rd adult and the owner, John was very accommodating. I liked that I was able to purchase a bottle of wine after hours on the "honor system". Breakfast included fresh pastries and there were real plates and silverware rather than the typical paper plates and plastic cutlery.

I can't think of a thing that I didn't like.

The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating after a slight error on my part when booking. The motel and rooms were very clean and bed was comfortable. Continental breakfast was included and we were pleased with the selection. We were able to bring our pet with us and they had plenty of room outdoors to walk our pet, as well as a fenced in area for the dog to run in. We would definitely stay here again in the future.

Too many mosquitos when walking outdoors, but I can’t fault he motel for this. Other than that, I cannot think of anything we were not happy with.

Our experience at the Open Hearth Lodge was exceptional!! My husband and I chose this location to celebrate our 16 Year Wedding Anniversary!! When I initially booked the room, I thought that I chose a room with a Jacuzzi but it was my mistake. I went to the manager and expressed the mistake that I had made. He said no problem. Let's see if we can find you a room that is compatible to what you wanted. And he did he was able to put me in my husband in a larger room that I called the Honeymoon Suite and didn't charge us any extra money. He even offered us a bottle of wine for our joyous occasion!!! We also took advantage of the Hot Tub and Swimming Pool! We really enjoyed our stay! This should be a 5 Star Hotel!!

There was nothing that we did not like. We loved everything!

Great hospitality. The room is spacious, the bed is really comfortable and it had plenty of pillows. The space is very cozy. The location is great, pretty close to all kinds of different tourist spots.

For breakfast, the pancake machine seemed to need lots of close maintenance — it could only do a few before someone had to come and check it out. I wish there were some plant-based milk alternatives and vegan butter as part of the breakfast options.

The room was very clean. The hotel was conveniently located a couple minutes’ drive from the water. The staff were friendly. The grounds were well kept. They have dog-friendly hallways you can ask about.

I recommend requesting a room centrally located or in the eastern hallway if you want to reach the poke stop from your room. Keep in mind those hallways are dog friendly. You can reach the poke stop from the lobby, too, which is nice.

When making last minute vacation plans,I booked Open Hearth Lodge based on the affordability,but also the pictures/reviews made it look like it was going to be a decent place for a last minute getaway,but I was completely wrong! Open Hearth Lodge completely went beyond my expectations! First I’ll start with the room. The room was excellent with a full kitchen (everything you would need other than groceries!) balcony and jacuzzi tub and fire place were lovely. This place is wonderful for dog owners as they go above and beyond! The property was beautiful,peaceful and very clean. The staff was also very kind and helpful (Jack was wonderful!) I highly recommend and we will be back every time we are headed to Door County.

Nothing

The owner was at the desk to check us in. He was very personable and went out of his way to answer our questions in regard to dining options that evening. It’s all about the people and taking care of each Guest. I highly recommend this place. Great area, comfortable rooms and friendly staff. I will stay here next time I visit Door County.

Everything was clean and accomodating

Liked the breakfast that was included. The pool and hot tub appeared very clean and were never crowded.

The love seat in the room was very uncomfortable for sitting. Neither my husband or I were able to sit on it. The desk chair was damaged. We were unable to close the sink drain even after we notified the front desk and someone supposedly fixed it.
