The Maple Grove Will Take You Back To a Simpler Time
As our guest, you will enjoy amenities unlike any other. After spending a long day, relax on our huge green space around a camp fire or walk among 100+ year old cedar and maple trees or kick off the boots and enjoy an evening having a barbeque in our pavilion.
Welcome! I’m glad you’re here checking us out. We’re located at the tip of the Door Peninsula at a place called Gills Rock, Wisconsin. Just down the road is the Washington Island Ferry that crosses the Death’s Door Passage to Washington Island. The Maple Grove was built in 1949 and was one of the first motels up here. It’s a great place to relax after a big day enjoying all that the near-by harbor towns have to offer. Like Restaurants, Winery’s, Cherry’s, Festivals, Art Galleries, Pottery, Outdoor Theater, Kayaking, Boating, Charter Fishing, Hiking, Beaches, Music, Clothing Shops, Quilt Shops, Biking, Marathons, and so much more! We only have 6 rooms so it’s quiet, secluded, surrounded by nature and best of all NO Crowds! We have a huge”Green Space” where you can walk in the woods amongst 100 yr. old Cedar and Maple trees that produced 100’s of gallons of Maple Syrup back in the day! Within a short walking distance is the Island Clipper Tour Boat, Charlie’s Smoke Fish, Hedge Hog Gift Shop, Mariner’s Park and the Maritime Museum! If that’s not enough, you can walk to a fabulous restaurant with indoor and outdoor dining with a million dollar sunset view overlooking the Bay of Greenbay! Not to mention the Best Fireworks on the July 4th!
Our Reviews
My family loved the little activities on the property, definitely a nice touch.
There is also a very neat outdoor pavilion in the center of the grounds where we have enjoyed sharing breakfast, swapping stories, meeting other people, and famous jam-okie sessions. We like to say this motel is ‘north of the tension line’ leaving lots of cares far away, and we usually have our next trip planned before we leave.
Local highlights:
*Newport Beach
*Charlie’s Smokehouse
*Kick Ash Coffee
*Twelve-Eleven Provisions
Show) he offered up the Music Rm (#9).
I want to come back with a group to take advantage of the Pavillion and show them all the cool retro decor!
- close to the Washington Island ferry, and Newport state park
- kid friendly. My kids loved running around the field behind the motel, playing badminton and volleyball, and making s’mores over the campfire
- social. We love the pavilion for hanging out or eating meals, and have loved meeting other guests and making new friends. There’s also FREE live music on the weekends. And the owner, Captain John, is pretty much the sweetest person on the planet.
- It is rustic (literally in the woods) and retro (straight outta 1970’s), but that’s part of the fun!
A mile from the famous curvy road and northport.
I wiukd def recommend this place, captain john is an amazing person.
I just found him over the google maps and my communication was smooth.
I was lucky enough to stay there for one night during door county fall fest.
Good vibes, laid back and def def beautiful.
