Awaken & relax. Fluff your feather pillows, snuggle into the soft cotton sheets, revel in the warmth of your fireplace and remember you need not do a thing all day. But alas, the aroma of coffee and fresh baked muffins lures you to the lobby. Pad on down the stairs and load up a tray and treat your sweetie to breakfast in bed. Gaze out over the harbor as the morning sun glistens on the water. Marvel at the deft moves of an osprey fishing. Watch the fishing boats pick their way through the ice to their docks across the harbor with the freshly caught whitefish you will enjoy this evening for dinner. Pick up that book you have so been wanting to find the time to read. Need to move? Step outside our door and strap on a pair of snowshoes and wander down to the shore. Explore the rim of the harbor, tromp into the Ridges Wildlife Sanctuary and revel in the only sounds being those of your snowshoes crunching the newly fallen snow. Return to the inn for a nap in front of the fire before treating yourself to a legendary Door County Fish Boil. The White Gull Inn in Fish Creek (ten minutes) offers up this memorable dining experience on Friday nights in winter.

Repeat any or all of the above or wander over to Fish Creek in the morning and rent some cross country skis at the entrance to Peninsula State Park and enjoy the groomed trails and the spectacular vistas. Smilen' Bobs Chili at the Bayside Tavern is lunch, then stroll the village and take advantage of winter sales in the adorable shops. Stone’s Throw Winery just happens to be on the way back to the inn! Stop for a wine tasting in their wonderful renovated stone barn. Another nap and tonight is fabulous dining at The Inn at Kristofer's in Sister Bay, a ten minute drive.

250 miles of snowmobile trails await you for an all day adventure. Rent a machine and explore the peninsula from the inside out. Stop and lunch at one of the many strategically placed classic Wisconsin taverns along the trails. Warm up while you shoot a little pool and play some darts, then hit the trails again. Nap. Dinner is a casual affair at the Coyote Roadhouse on Kangaroo Lake. A tavern with yummy ribs and great sandwiches and only a five minute drive from the inn.

You may have caught a glimpse of Hill 17 as you zipped along the trails in Peninsula State Park yesterday. The 17th fairway of the golf course offers exhilarating sledding. Grab a couple of the inn’s sleds and hang onto your hat. A little lunch at the ever so popular watering hole, J’J’s in Sister Bay with a stop on the way back to the inn at the Spa at Sacred Ground. Let them massage away those kinks (if there are any left) and return to the inn for guess what? A nap. Dining at T. Ashwell’s in Ellison Bay tonight. A bit of a drive (20 minutes) but well worth the fireside ambience and creative cuisine.

More of all of the above plus candlelight skis in the state parks, ice skating, sleigh rides, music and entertainment at the Auditorium and TAP, the Fish Creek Winter Games in early February, a cooking class at The Savory Spoon or The Inn at Kristofer's, and if you are here on New Year’s Day, add the Polar Bear Swim and Egg Harbor Parade to your list.
