great spot for visit to Door County

Chatham Hills was a great setting for our large family gathering. The location, the bunkhouse, multiple gatherings spots, fire pit, Adventure Shed and private suites were enjoyed by all. The management was quick to respond to any questions or issues that came up during our stay. We enjoyed our week at Chatham Hills!

A perfect venue for a family gathering.

The main house was great as a gathering place for family activities. The Adventure Shed was a hit with the young adults. We could hike,bike,kayak, eat and shop because of our wonderful location right in the middle of action. We had a great time.

Great stay for a large group

This was a great trip. We had 19 people total and there was plenty of room for everyone. The hot tub was a great thing to have considering the weather was a bit cold when we went. Everyone had an amazing time. This is the second time we booked this location and we plan on doing so again.

Great for a family reunion

This was a great stay for a family reunion - everyone from my 90 year old mom to her 8 week old great-granddaughter had a wonderful time. So nice to have enough rooms that all the couples could have their own space. We loved the hot tub, and spent many hours in conversation gathered around the fire ring. We could not have asked for a better spot to gather with our loving family.

Wonderful Getaway Weekend

The main house, bunkhouse and all of the amenities were wonderful. We couldn't have asked for better accommodations. The house and bunkhouse were both well-appointed and very clean. It was too cold to take advantage of all that the Adventure hut offered, but we hope to do so next year.

Lovely family reunion

Plenty of room to congregate and also have some of your own space, great for the kids to run around and play, close to everything we wanted to do! Everything well stocked…especially appreciated the extra fridge in the lower level, and the laundry room with extra coffee! Lovely stay…would certainly come again!

Couples' weekend

We had a group of nine couples that stayed for the weekend. The place was perfect for our weekend as each couple had a private bathroom and bedroom. The kitchen area was large enough for all of us to be together for meals. We enjoyed the firepit and hot tub. There were plenty of lawn chairs for our group to enjoy the outside fire. We hope to come back next year.
