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..

The place was very clean, comfortable and the staff EXCELLENT! I had booked (last minute) for 2 nights and was very happy to find a place that had availability. 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 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.

What a gem! My husband and I had booked two nights at this lovely inn and liked it so much we decided to stay an extra night. Trent, the owner is personable and very knowledgeable about where to go and what to do (he’s a former chef!). He did everything to make our stay perfect. The furnishings are cozy and most everything in the rooms (we stayed in two different ones) is up to date. You can’t beat the location for walkability, restaurants are a few steps away and the view of the water is just gorgeous. We look forward to coming back to the area and staying here!

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.

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.

I really liked this property. The rooms were really nice and clean. Only problem was the outrageous storm so there was a power outage. Wish they had a backup generator so we didn’t have to leave a day early.

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.
