Chanticleer Guest House - Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin

Christopher M.

If you are looking for a quiet weekend getaway in Door county, the Chanticleer Guest House is the place to go. The location was phenomenally easy to get to and extremely peaceful and quiet. While it seemed as all the rooms were booked the weekend we stayed, we rarely ran into another guest and felt like we had the run of the place to ourselves. Both breakfasts were served to the minute of their requested time, and brought delight to both of us first thing in the morning. Pride of ownership and their craft is evident throughout the room, the grounds, the breakfast (and cookies!) served and in the conversations we had with the owners as well. There is no doubt that we will be booking our next weekend at the Chanticleer house very soon. Highly recommend you take a look and do the same.

My husband and I were booked to stay this whole weekend but after 1 night we choose to leave and be out the other $240 rather than stay another night. I will say across several sites they have 5 star reviews so we are not the norm. The owners were lovely, the property was lovely and location isn’t bad. And the breakfast in the room was delicious. Our issue was the room we stayed in. We choose the Loft based on the pictures and description. The pictures are deceiving. 1. The bed is built in but it’s built in to the floor. I will say I have a bad back. But even with the mattress toppers we carried up to the third floor, it was the worst mattress we have ever slept on. 2. My husband and I enjoy relaxing and reading but as the bed was not comfortable to sleep on we tried sitting on the furniture. The furniture was no more comfortable than the bed. 3. The shower was not enjoyable. The shower head looks to probably be original. The stream is not consistent and is all over the place. This is an easy fix. 4. The roof was a little too steep for my husband. He kept hitting his head on the wall as he sat up and whenever he had to walk down the stairs.
We love staying at B&Bs we stay at a lot and had assumed that for $240 a night we could still expect a nice stay close to Door County. I will say all the other guests looked happy so if you stay just avoid the Loft unless being comfortable isn’t an issue for you.

Wonderful anniversary stay. We loved walking the trails that were very well maintained. The breakfast was delicious and perfect. It was quiet and peaceful and we didn't hear anyone, even though the rooms were booked. The owner is kind and helpful.

Best B & B we have ever stayed at. This place is amazing and they make it very hard to leave. Rooms are beautifully decorated and the landscaping is stunning. We didn't get a chance to use the pool, but plan to return and will do so then. We were greeted by the owners, upon arrival, and they directed us to places we were looking for nearby. The breakfast was amazing and delivered right to your door. I truly would give this a 10/10 rating.

Tranquility, serenity, and country luxury is what you get staying at Chanticleer. I honestly don't think that they've missed any small detail in providing their guests with an amazing stay. I'm told that the lovely couple are new owners of the Guest House for about a year now. Based on our experience with our stay, I get the impression that they truly do stride in providing an amazing getaway for their guests. I love that it's so quiet out here and away from all the hustle and bustle of the touristy areas, yet close enough to jump in the car and travel up the peninsula. The breakfast delivered in the morning right to your door in a cute basket all the way to the warm cookies that greet you on your return home in the afternoon, speaks volumes to their attention to detail. We got to see some of the other rooms that were not occupied, and every single one was decorated with an upscale farmhouse motif. Kudos to the new owners in keeping up with what I see from past reviews has always been an amazing experience at the Guest House.

This place is amazing | It's the best B&B we've ever stayed in! It has 30 acres of beautiful flower and trails...you will think you are in a botanical garden. Great home base to explore Door County. And when you come home after a day of exploring, take a dip in the beautiful pool and enjoy a fresh baked chocolate chip cookie! HIGHLY recommend this place!!!

This place was fabulous! You are literally in the middle of a botanical garden! Rooms are enormous, and pool was an added bonus. It was a great home base while we explored Door County. The hosts, Rick and Dawn were excellent...hot chocolate chip cookies every afternoon, and a full breakfast delivered to your door each morning. HIGHLY recommend this place!!!

Don't look anywhere else to stay at Door County if you want a BnB that's adorable, beautiful, worth the price, and full of amenities.

This is the second time we've stayed at Chanticleer, once in the fall and the other in late summer. Every season seems to be gorgeous there, although my favorite is fall. The trees are perfect!

When you check in, there's fresh baked chocolate chip cookies ready for anyone who comes into the common room. Breakfast served is fresh, delicious, and comes with the best orange juice in a basket as well as coffee! They have trails the owners made themselves on the property, and a heated pool as well.

You can tell how much the owners love hosting people, as every corner of this bnb has something charming to see. My favorite is the porch, where my husband and I would eat breakfast and sip coffee awhile we watched the birds in peace. A hummingbird CAME UP TO MY FACE! I cried because it was so beautiful.

We've stayed in a large room and a smaller room, and both of them were cozy – with fireplaces, jet tubs, a table to sit and eat, and a balcony. It hailed and rained most days when we went in the fall, but we didn't mind because our room was romantic.

Could I find a cheaper room? Yes. Do I want to go anywhere else? No! This is our new happy place. It's not as close to some of the towns as some may want, but we prefer to be in quieter locations. We'll be back!
