What guests think
At Village Green Lodge, guests consistently praise the friendly, hands‑on owners and the walkable, quiet location near Ephraim’s waterfront, while noting generally clean, comfortable rooms that can feel dated and occasional maintenance or service lapses amid recent ownership changes.
Facilities are basic, with an outdoor pool that is sometimes closed or in need of attention, ample parking, and no elevator access. Breakfast is minimal—coffee, yogurt, fruit, and instant oatmeal—with occasional pastries or house pizza noted, and some guests felt listings oversold variety. Overall, expect a straightforward, no‑frills stay suited to adults seeking peace over amenities.

Booked a weekend getaway as a couple and this hotel was perfect for that. We even took a dip in the pool which was very refreshing.

The lodge wasn't far off the main road, but was surrounded by trees and greenery and was very quiet and secluded. Unfortunately, the pool, which looked inviting, was closed while we were there. Also, there was a sign in the breakfast area saying that pastry was available on the weekend, but it never materialized. Otherwise, the room was spacious and clean. Would definitely recommend it to others.

From the lovely heated pool, to the wonderful conversations and s'mores round the firepit, my experience with The Village Green Lodge was nothing but positive. The rooms were clean with charming decor. The location was ideal, centralized about 10 minutes (according to GPS) from just about everything we wanted to visit. Closer still (a block) from the most beautiful views one could hope to see. All around, a magical trip.

Very nice and quiet place. We thought it was gonna be closer to water view, but it wasn’t. We did miss not having any elevators to get our belongings to our room since we were on the second floor, but there was a nice gentleman in the office who helped us. ❤️

Very Door County quaint. Nice woodsy surroundings. Its an older property just off of 42 but extremely well kept. Within a 5-minute walk from Wilsons ice cream in Ephriam. Convenient to things to do north or south. Two floors with stairs. No elevators. Nice lobby with 24/7 free coffee. Beverages are $2 on the honor system. Maid service for multi-night stays is not provided unless requested. Continental breakfast 7-9 AM daily. We recommend this resort.

Swimming Pool was closed, tub drain was clogged, bath towel rack fell off the wall and pillows were like baloons. I was given 2 room keys one was for the room next door and the other didn’t fit my room and I didn’t realize this until I returned that evening. After 5 minutes I was able to get the door unlocked. Almost had to call a locksmith.

We checked in and our room and had no electricy and a floor lamp with a severed cord. We alerted the front desk staff , who located the breaker and turned the power back on. He also removed but did not replace the broken floor lamp, and showed me how I could turn on the breaker if the power were to go out again. The room we were in smelled like a mildew basement, and several spiders were found over the course of our three day stay. The hotel has a pool, but it was half empty, full of leaves and other debris, and unkept. Weeds were growing all aroung the wooden pool fence which needs to be painted. The room was clean, but needs new carpeting and furniture. The tv was placed in a corner of the room, 15 feet from the bed, making it difficult to watch. The outside of our room door was covered in spider webs. The parking lot is not lighted, so you are in total darkness late at night, which can be creepy. Our room was directly over the Office, so in the morning we could hear the staff or other guests talking On the positive side, the hotel offers complimentary coffee and breakfast in the morning, and is in a good location with walking to nearby shops and restaurants..

Enjoyed the roominess of the two bedroom, two bath with kitchen & living room apartment. I was very impressed that the bathrooms were exceptionally clean with no bacterial growth around the sink drains. The owner, manager Mike, was a delight being approachable, informative and knowledgeable about the area. The property is quiet, nestled up to a wooded area with flowers & seating areas in the front courtyard. We didn’t use the pool, but liked its private location. The bay and downtown were a very short walk around the corner from the driveway. A very good location to explore Peninsula State Park from, we will stay here again if in door county.

The Village Green Lodge is now known as the Wilder Inn, as it has just changed hands. It is a motel, so not super fancy, but it certainly fit our needs. The staff was super nice, pointing out that they just purchased it and were working on lots of upgrades, including a free breakfast...which was basic (oatmeal, fresh fruit, yogurt and coffee), but, again, enough for us. Our room was a bit musty smelling, so that is one thing I hope they work on. Otherwise it fit all our needs. Totally forgot they had an outdoor pool, which really looked nice but I was unprepared to use it. Location is great, close to Post Office for a fish boil, Wilson's for burgers and ice cream, Anderson dock for a sunset, Peninsula State park for some nature, great views and an evening at the theater.

First, we had a hard time finding the property as there was no signage for Wilder Inn. The room was nothing like the pictures showed, not even close. I was not expecting anything fancy, but I do expect something like what the pictures of a single room show. I chose a "water" room, thinking that meant that we would have a water view, but that was not the case. I'm not sure what "water" means when choosing a room here, as none of the rooms had a water view. The shower did not drain well, and we had someone else's hair in the water that pooled around our feet. The positives were that the bed was comfortable and the location was convenient.

Room was clean and super comfortable. Only negative was a few things missing in the kitchen. Lack of eating utensils and dish clothes and dish towels. Upstairs guests were very noisy from midnight until 1:00 am, but that’s not the hotel’s fault. Owner was SUPER accommodating when our room was misrepresented by Expedia posting the wrong pictures. Location was perfect, being right in the middle of Door County. Wouldn’t definitely stay here again.

It was very clean but dated. It was very quiet and secluded even though it was 1/2 block off the main street. Rooms did not have a phone so if you wanted the front desk it was calling on your cell phone. They did not give you a directory for the area like most hotels do. We asked for a table outside our door like others had and we never got one.

This was my first time ever to Door County and very happy we came. On our first day here, an issue came up and I need to leave next day. The new owners were very understanding and worked with me to resolve. If you want clean, comfort, great location please check them out. They will be my first choice when I come back.

The room was clean, but needed updating. We never saw any staff except someone stuck their head out of a room that they were cleaning. There was no one ever at the lobby desk. The breakfast consisted of yogurt cups, bananas, Cuties, and day old pastries. Coffee dispenser was from the day before and cold. Kurieg cups were not stocked for morning coffee. Last day the lobby was locked, no one could get in.

Be careful when booking your stay here. To our surprise we were charged 50.00 extra per night. We had a large two bedroom suite and the owner insisted it was policy to charge more to have two people in the extra bedroom. I have never heard of this. I have always just paid for the room or suite. He would not budge on HIS policy and was not even willing to negotiate. Poor customer service. The toilet wouldn’t flush and my husband had to take the lid off every time and do it manually. He advertises free breakfast but it’s just small generic oatmeal packets, yogurt and a bowl of fruit. We liked the location and would have gone back if we wouldn’t have been surprisingly charged an extra 200.00.

Location was perfect, being right in the middle of Door County. Wouldn’t definitely stay here again.

Very Door County quaint. Nice woodsy surroundings. Its an older property just off of 42 but extremely well kept. Within a 5-minute walk from Wilsons ice cream in Ephriam. Convenient to things to do north or south. Two floors with stairs. No elevators. Nice lobby with 24/7 free coffee. Beverages are $2 on the honor system. Maid service for multi-night stays is not provided unless requested. Continental breakfast 7-9 AM daily. We recommend this resort.

It was a quiet place Ephraim and a great time to come to the area. The hiking at the state parks was great. Hotel was clean and close to eateries just off the main road.

Dining
Breakfast is minimal—typically coffee, yogurt, fruit, and instant oatmeal—with occasional pastries; several guests felt it was oversold online. Some noted occasional house pizza, but overall on‑site food options are limited.

Love this hotel. Staff is attentive and reacts with any needs promptly. Cozy rooms. Bonus site makes homemade pizza to order. After a full day of travel it was nice to go to the club house and order pizza and relax. Hotel was close to the bay and 30 minutes to Lake Michigan. We booked two rooms for our girls trip. Everyone was happy. We will return next year. Ownwer has a fantastic sense of humor.

This was our first time staying at this lodge and we enjoyed our stay. The lodge is located in town and just one block off the main street. Ephraim is a good central location for the whole Door County experience. Our room was clean, comfortable and well appointed. The beds were comfortable and the shower looked like it was recently retiled. There is a free continental type breakfast of coffee/tea, yogurt, microwave oatmeal and fresh fruit suck as bananas and nectarines, just enough to get your day started. Our host was very accommodating often asking how we are doing every time we saw him. He also offered suggestions for sight seeing and to where to eat.

Owners and staff friendly and helpful. Clean and walking distance to restaurants and shops. Breakfast offerings just ok. One complaint--the bottom fitted sheets were too short for the bed and kept coming off and wadding up during the night. Very uncomfortable. We did not report this to the owners.

The room was clean, but needed updating. We never saw any staff except someone stuck their head out of a room that they were cleaning. There was no one ever at the lobby desk. The breakfast consisted of yogurt cups, bananas, Cuties, and day old pastries. Coffee dispenser was from the day before and cold. Kurieg cups were not stocked for morning coffee. Last day the lobby was locked, no one could get in.

The location was a block from the water and a few minutes away from the fish boil. The manager was very friendly and accommodating. A big storm caused a lot of damage and they were almost finished with the clean up. The room was comfortable and spacious. If you’re lucky to get a cinnamon roll they were delicious.

Centrally located on the peninsula in Ephraim. Extremely clean rooms, Mike the owner was very friendly and genuine. The common room was very inviting with good coffee & offered small but fine breakfast of fruit, yogurt or instant oatmeal. We enjoyed our stay and will return for sure...I highly recommend staying here!

It’s an older facility so the place reflects that. The location is good with easy walking to nearby restaurants. They do offer free yogurt, instant oatmeal and fruit along with coffee in the morning. It would be nice to have in room coffee makers. The bed was comfortable.

Continental breakfast would have been great, but there was only coffee, water and jogurt, no baked goods liked advertised.!
