Door County

Often called the “Cape Cod of the Midwest,” Door County is a peninsula lined with charming coastal villages, orchards, and lighthouses. Travelers come for cherry picking, kayaking, and sailing on Lake Michigan, but stay for the quiet, welcoming pace of life. Towns like Fish Creek and Ephraim offer cozy inns, local art galleries, and farm-to-table dining. In autumn, the peninsula glows with color; in winter, it’s a serene snowy escape.
