Double S Lodge Is a Delicious B&B Opportunity in Wisconsin

realtor.com

In Wisconsin, Door County’s peninsula between the shorelines of Green Bay and Lake Michigan attracts vacationers between early spring and fall. Most accommodations are quaint and romantic or in large condo complexes.

The Double S Lodge, now on the market for $1,095,000 in Sister Bay, WI, doesn’t fit into either of those categories.

Rebuilt and remodeled from top to bottom, it’s the kind of place that you might use as a backdrop for a clothing line’s photo shoot, rent out for a long weekend to chill with friends, or where you might invite the whole family for a fun reunion.

From the beautiful hickory-wood floors to a stone fireplace stretching all the way to the ceiling, the property includes a chic antler chandelier, vibrant original artwork, pendant lighting with Edison bulbs, and antique wooden oars for a “Ralph Lauren meets Door County” vibe. It’s listed with Kurt Penn of Jameson Sotheby’s International Realty in Chicago.

“It could be suitable for a family for a getaway, or as a corporate retreat,” says Penn.

With four ensuites (and the potential for adding two more), this 4,291-square-foot log beauty can be either an income generator or a single-family home. There’s an additional owners’ suite that includes a full bath, walk-in closet, loft, and a studio for sleeping and relaxing.

The property was built in 1992 as a bed and breakfast, and is currently being operated as the Double S Lodge. Almost since its debut in 2015, the lodge has been the top-rated Luxury Bed and Breakfast in Door County on TripAdvisor. The Lodge currently runs at a 92% occupancy rate and generates the highest-priced nightly rates for lodging in Door County, according to Penn. It’s open from Memorial Day through the end of October, but there’s an opportunity to expand the season through the winter and early spring months.

The owners’ quarters also have the lodge’s full wood-planked ceilings and large log beams. Each of the guest rooms include architectural details like rustic barn-wood walls, hand-scraped hickory-wood flooring, and wool carpeting. One popular guest room boasts a private balcony overlooking the woods. The private bathrooms have vanities built by local craftsmen, white subway tile, Carrara marble, and large walk-in showers.

The two-story hearth room, open dining room, serving room, and conservatory are the heartbeat of the Lodge, each with log or wood walls, allowing for both shared and private spaces to enjoy.

The home’s kitchen makes prepping and cooking a breeze. It includes a corner window with a planning desk (for all those breakfasts!), full open-wall shelving, new stainless-steel appliances, and a natural maple-wood countertop island.

Taking advantage of Wisconsin’s beautiful seasons, the large rear entertainment deck is private and surrounded by tall pines and cedars. Comfy wicker chairs, dining for six people, and colorful rockers add to the atmosphere of a retreat.

The lodge comes fully furnished for the next owner, down to the bed linens and kitchen serving pieces. The location is just a short walk or bike ride to downtown Sister Bay, with restaurants and shops, expanded beach, and a waterfront concert pavilion. Compared to nearby towns, “The atmosphere’s a little more vibrant, but relaxed, in Sister Bay,” says Penn.
