Door County Vacation Packages
The magic of the Door
Peninsula begins at Bay Point Inn where the azure waters of Green Bay
greet you as you enter your villa. We’ll replace the world of noise,
traffic and utility wires with a panoramic view of the shoreline
punctuated only by Door Peninsula forests, distant Islands and sailing
yachts.
We’ll start your vacation
with a cheese and cracker tray (order with guest services) to enjoy as you contemplate relaxation on
your private deck. Bring your own wine or order a bottle through guest
services. During the longest days in July sunset is around 8:30pm
and earlier as the season progresses. Plan your first nights meal around the
sunset with a later reservation at a nearby restaurant.

Traditional Fish Boil
 |
 |
| |
|
Each evening, beginning at 5:00 p.m., Pelletier's in Fish Creek,
Wisconsin specializes in serving the most famous native dish to Door
County: the Door County Fish Boil.
This feast is a
tradition passed on from generation to generation, and is unique to
our area.
The settlers
of the last century came to this wilderness to seek their fortunes
in the heavily timbered forests and bountiful waters of the Door
peninsula. Out of their resourcefulness and spirit of cooperation,
the Fish Boil evolved, and the fishermen and farmers provided
sustenance for groups of hungry lumbermen and settlers.
Technology has
found no way to improve upon the methods of a century ago. The
Pelletier's Fish boil is celebrated in at its traditional best, as
our technique has been preserved and passed down from Pelletier's
Master Boiler/Owner Matthew Peterson's Grandfather, to his Father,
and now to him. |
Sunset's at Bay Point Inn
Peninsula Players
The Peninsula Players has a history which is as
captivating as the plays staged at the theatre during the past 71 years. And
it began simply with "two planks and a passion."
Patrons have returned year after year, drawn
by the theatre's tradition of providing exceptional professional productions
of classic and contemporary literature. They are also delighted by the
talent of its acting company and the theatre's serene location along the
shores of Green Bay.

Washington Island Ferry
|
Just a few miles
off the tip of the Door County peninsula lies Washington Island. A
friendly year-round home to 700 people, the island is also an
enchanting destination for thousands of visitors each year. The
Washington Island Ferry Line is the vital transportation link across
storied Death's Door passage.
When you reach
the end of Highway 42 you'll find Northport Pier, and the Washington
Island Ferry Line. After vehicles and passengers are safely on board
we shove off for a 30-minute ride past nearby Plum, Pilot and
Detroit Islands. This area is filled with history. You will be
making the same passage as the Native Americans who paddled their
canoes from island to island, French explorers who came to the area,
and schooners who traveled the area a century ago.
The visit to
Washington Island is an enjoyable one with 35-square miles to
explore. Here is a list of some of the sites: |

Nature Center |

Skyway Drive-In Theatre
American Folklore Theatre
Welcome To American Folklore Theatre /
www.folkloretheatre.com
Humble yet polished, hopeful, yet not
sentimental, historical yet hysterical — that's the
oddball wonder we call AFT. In Door County, Wisconsin,
we don't wait to see what goes over in Manhattan. We
forge ahead and write lyrics, the whole shebang.
Plenty of sensible souls would rather
listen to their brother-in-law drone for two hours about
pork belly futures than suffer through an evening of
"original theatre," and we know just how they feel. So
we build our shows on the rock of American folk culture:
the great tales, the aching melodies, the drawling turns
of phrase that have survived generation to generation.
In our little corner of the woods,
those ominous rumblings about the Death of American
Musical Theatre are drowned out by the footfalls of
50,000 loyal fans strolling down the path in Fish
Creek's Peninsula State Park each year to laugh and cry
with our merry players under the newborn stars
