Square Rigger Lodge

Love this place! Each morning we enjoyed beautiful sunrises over Lake Michigan while sipping a hot cup of coffee from a small patio just outside our room. The on-site Little Bit Coffee shop offers light breakfast items each day and small plates a couple days a week which are always delicious. Nice private, sandy beach. The rooms are spotless and the beds are comfortable. The owners are very nice people that want to ensure your stay is perfect.

My husband Brandon and I are heading into our 7th season at Square Rigger Lodge, and that alone says everything. We absolutely adore our cottage—it truly feels like our second home. What makes Square Rigger so special is the way you’re treated. From day one, we’ve felt less like renters and more like owners who are genuinely respected and cared for. The property is beautiful, peaceful, and perfectly maintained, but it’s the warmth and love of the place that keeps us coming back year after year. If you’re looking for a cozy Door County escape that feels personal, welcoming, and special, Square Rigger Lodge is it. We can’t imagine lake season without it. 💙

We just returned home from our third stay. After finding this place last fall, we returned during the past summer and now took a ride to see the fall colors and relax. The owners are so welcoming and the motel is clean and comfortable. Complimentary coffee is available in the office each morning, and the coffee shop next door is an added bonus on weekends offering delicious frittatas and sweet treats. The location on the lake is perfect! A great place to relax and unwind! We will definitely be back! Thank you all for another great stay! See you next year! Joe and Judy

My husband and I stayed here for four days and three nights, and we are truly grateful for such a comfortable and restful experience. When we first checked in and entered our room, we immediately noticed how clean and refreshing the air felt. (We’ve stayed at many hotels, but this was the very first time we had such a fresh and uplifting first impression.) The staff, as well as the fellow travelers staying here, were all kind and greeted each other with warm smiles. The beautiful scenery and easy access to the beach made our walks especially enjoyable. On top of that, having great restaurants and leisure activities nearby made everything so convenient. We are certain that when we visit Door County again, we will definitely choose to stay here once more.

I’ve stayed at Square Rigger Lodge a couple of times, mainly because of the location. It’s in the quieter part of DC. The staff is very friendly. Our room was beach side. There are chairs outside each room. We enjoy sitting outside enjoying the sun rise. There is a coffee shop attached, but unfortunately we have never eaten there. The only thing that would make our stay better, would be a coffee pot in the room. My husband and I are early risers and there’s no coffee place open till 7 am. But no worries it’s still a great place to stay!
