What guests think
Across many reviews, Waterbury Inn is praised for very clean, spacious condo-style units with lofts and kitchens, family-friendly amenities like indoor and outdoor pools and a hot tub, and a quiet, convenient location between Ephraim and Sister Bay.
Guests also enjoy fire pits, grills, cozy common areas with games, and helpful staff. Common drawbacks include no elevator with some basement-level rooms, dated furnishings and ongoing renovations, inconsistent bed comfort and temperature control, and occasional odors or maintenance misses. Overall, expect simple, roomy condo-style lodging that suits relaxed stays if you’re comfortable with some compromises.

The place was cute. Extremely disappointed there was no exercise room. It advertised having an exercise room. The bed was extremely hard. There was a family ping pong area and the lobby offered family games.

A perfect place for our family. Comfortable and clean. Beautiful landscaping. We grilled next to the pool and enjoyed sitting around the fire pit. Plenty of room to accommodate our large family. Highly recommend.

Having never stayed at the Waterbury we didn't know what to expect but ended up enjoying our stay there. The hotel overall is kept clean. The 2 bedroom loft plus pullout bed provided decent room for 5 of us, including 3 adult children. The grill and gas fire pit with seating area out front is very nice. Both pools (indoor/outdoor) and hottub were clean and provided an enjoy spot to spend time in the water. The grounds of the resort are maintained very well too. Only the landscape islands in the parking lot were the exception as there were overgrown and appeared as if they may be waiting for an overhaul at some point in the near future. If not, we'd recommend it as that was the one main area we'd recommend receive an update. The staff was very friendly and accommodating as well and made us feel very welcome. We will definitely consider staying here in the future.

Great space for a family of 4. Lobby area is very cozy and the fire pit tables and grills outside were a nice amenity. The property was a little dated, but overall, very clean and nice staff. We especially loved the walkable access to the cafe across the street called Sip. We would stay here again.

Bed and pool were good, after that, down hill...Lied to by manager Edith via email that both bedrooms have tvs, they don't. Playground is missing, couldn't use firepit, exercise room is now a store under construction? Upper floor was 87° when we got there. No elevator to bring luggage up, still use keys for room and outside doors. Effort is there to remodel, its just mismanaged and drown in misrepresentation. I'll stick with Newport Resort in Egg Harbor.

There were no Kleenex in the room and we ran out of paper towels…..office was closed so could not ask for some. ( did not want to call the after hour # for such a small request, and never saw a cleaning person to ask.) The bottom of my socks, on 2 days, were very, very black indicating the floors were not clean. (I Hope they get clean in the wash.) Do all offices close so early? What do people do if arriving after your hours? The communication on e-mail was excellent. Every time I asked a question, it was answered very quickly. Thank you! Eleanore Ninemeier Bed was very comfortable and the sheets were soft and yet crisp at the same time!!

Very clean but biggest room was cramped for 5 people especially if you leave the sofa sleeper open. Main bedroom bed was small and broken down so you rolled to the middle and a bit uncomfortable We were told there would be a full size bed in the loft but instead there were 2 twin beds. They were comfortable though. Extra powder room in hallway and Lobby was good! We appreciated the toaster since we picked up bagels from Cultured Bagels for breakfasts

We received a room on the "ground" level, aka the basement. It was musty and humid and the AC did not touch the temperature. The hallways had humidifiers going our entire stay making the hallway more pleasant than the room. We turned our thermostat down and turned our air on max, but the temperature never changed, in fact it went up. Very unpleasant. Also there are no elevators and we packed for our stay. We managed but, again, not pleasant. The outdoor fireplace was our favorite place but will not return.

Oh, kitchen was very well stocked with what we needed. Bedroom has no TV but that was okay, Would definitely stay again:)

Door County is unique in itself. We were there at the very beginning of the season. It seemed that the place was just getting reactivated. The water had a bad sulfur smell when in use the first morning. The second morning it seemed to go away. I believe for the price they should provide a nice continental breakfast.
Door County is unique in itself. We were there at the very beginning of the season. It seemed that the place was just getting reactivated. The water had a bad sulfur smell when in use the first morning. The second morning it seemed to go away. I believe for the price they should provide a nice continental breakfast.

Very clean but biggest room was cramped for 5 people especially if you leave the sofa sleeper open. Main bedroom bed was small and broken down so you rolled to the middle and a bit uncomfortable We were told there would be a full size bed in the loft but instead there were 2 twin beds. They were comfortable though. Extra powder room in hallway and Lobby was good! We appreciated the toaster since we picked up bagels from Cultured Bagels for breakfasts

We stayed for a long weekend through New Years Day 2024. The Waterbury offered a comfortable, relaxing, and convenient stay. The rooms have everything you need if you choose to stay in for the entire trip, from clean cooking appliances, to blackout shades, comfortable furniture, and a private balcony with pretty good views. The common areas are clean, warm, and inviting, and the staff certainly took the time to sweat the details on the Christmas decorations. Couldn't have really asked for anything else of the place - it was perfect for our trip. On the north end of Ephraim, it was a great central location for all of the outdoor activities that we had on our list. There is also a restaurant/coffee shop across the street that was a perfect way to start the morning. We will certainly be back to the Waterbury again!

This lovely inn was so cozy and comfortable. The pool and hot tub were perfect and we loved the fireplace area and games. Lots of room in the rooms! (we had a king room) The grounds looked fun but we were there in winter and didn't capitalize on them. The owner checked us in and was so, so kind and helpful. Love all the personal touches. Oh, kitchen was very well stocked with what we needed. Bedroom has no TV but that was okay, Would definitely stay again:)

Upgrades are in process. New owner and front desk staff personable and helpful. Dual pools plus a hot tub for end of day relaxation. Our suite had a full kitchen, dining room and living room plus an outdoor patio. Lots of room for a longer stay and dining at home. Walk to local restaurants and shops. Very quiet for a good nights rest.

Great space for a family of 4. Lobby area is very cozy and the fire pit tables and grills outside were a nice amenity. The property was a little dated, but overall, very clean and nice staff. We especially loved the walkable access to the cafe across the street called Sip. We would stay here again.

Property was great, room was a good size. Great vale for the money. It Was nice to have a kitchen and full size fridge in the room. Only complaint was the bed and pillows. Both were unforgiving and left myself and my girlfriend with neck and back pain days after.
