Door County Winter Packages

Door County is well known as a summer destination, but the Winter Season is one of the best kept secrets around. Whether you are seeking a kid friendly vacation or a romantic getaway for two, Door County has much to offer.

Door County has always been known for its beautiful summers and colorful falls, but its winters are rarely mentioned. The snow opens up a whole new world of possibilities. With miles of trails to explore, Door County is a great place to spend time getting away from all the craziness of our fast paced lives these days. For all the latest ski reports and winter activities, check out Winter in Door County.

If you are looking for a way to slow down and reconnect with someone special, take a walk or cross country ski through a snow covered forest. The serenity found deep in the woods is so relaxing. These slow paced activities offer a way to experience nature’s true beauty. Frost sparkles on barren branches like little diamonds and the heavy snow weighs down cedar boughs after every storm. Some great places to take advantage of this are any of the state parks, Toft’s Point or Ridges Sanctuary in Baileys Harbor or Cave Point south of Jacksonport.

If you prefer something a bit faster paced, we’ve got lots to offer you. Door County is home to some great snowmobiling. There are trails from Sturgeon Bay all the way to Gills Rock making every town accessible. Peninsula State Park opens its borders to snowmobilers for miles of perfectly groomed trails.

Are you looking for a romantic weekend for two? Door County prides itself for winter getaways. You can plan a whole weekend of activities or stay at a lovely B & B and not leave your suite. This place has so many options to choose from such as wine tastings, moon lit sleigh rides thru snow covered fields, romantic dinners, sightseeing and so much more. Many of our members offer winter specials for romantic retreats!

The Fish Creek Winter Games are held every year to showcase Door County’s festivities including a parade, cherry pit spitting contest, ice sculptures, live music, candlelight ski through the state park and so much more. This year the festival takes place on Feb 4th -6th. The locals all come out to enjoy the festival so you’re sure to see some real characters! Take a trolley ride to a local winery and other stops along the way. This is one weekend you must come to Fish Creek.

There is no shortage of fun no matter what age you are! Traveling with a family might seem stressful but when coming here, it’s well worth it. Many of our hotels are kid friendly and feature suites with multiple rooms to make your vacation that much more relaxing. Some have indoor pools which can keep the kids occupied all day long if the weather is not cooperative. If you are looking for kid friendly activities, we have tons! Sledding on Hill 17 was a must do when I was growing up. Located just inside Peninsula State Park on the 17th hole of the golf course is a hill that will make everyone’s trip! This gigantic sledding hill is fun for everyone and a sure way to guarantee you have sleeping children when you return to the hotel.
