    Anniversary Get Away

    June 09, 2013

    We went to the Orchid Inn based on a recommendation of our daughter, who stayed there for their first anniversary. She thought we would love it, and boy, was she right! Beautiful decor and gardens, excellent food and service! Tammy and Richard were the perfect hosts. A great place to rest and relax, as well as enjoy all that Door County has to offer!

    Just Wonderful

    January 01, 2013

    My husband & I just spent the weekend at the Orchid Inn. What a wonderful experience! Tammy is a gracious hostess & attention is paid to every detail. The rooms were warm, clean, inviting, and updated (no flowery wallpaper). The beds were comfortable. We had fresh flowers, a complimentary goodies basket, and a large scrumptious breakfast served to our room each morning. We are looking forward to visiting again in the warmer months to enjoy the gardens as well. What a gem!

    Still brilliant in the off season (November).

    November 14, 2012

    The Orchid is fantastic. The location is convenient to Sturgeon Bay, so getting around isn't a problem, as long as you have a car. Tammy is a great cook. If she didn't run a B&B, she could always open a restaurant and be successful. The building is of recent construction, and is flawlessly clean. Rooms are tasteful and homey, with no regrettable wallpaper or corny art. Marley, the house dog, is completely relaxed and well-behaved. We never heard her bark. Best of all, breakfast is brought to your room, so there's no need to make awkward small talk with strangers around the table if you don't want to. Of course, there is always the common room if you feel like meeting new people. The breakfast is enough for a grownup appetite, and is presented with detail. Tammy doesn't miss a thing. I'd definitely recommend The Orchid to a friend and would stay there again.

    What a Wonderful and Amazing Stay...

    October 16, 2012

    My husband and I stayed with Tammy and Richard the weekend of Oct 13th and 14th. I called around to many B&B's without much luck. This was to be our 10th anniversary celebration. We were in luck and were able to get reservations at the last minute on Friday evening. When Tammy asked if there was a special occasion, I mentioned our anniversary. When we arrived, Tammy showed us to our room and welcomed us with open arms. She said not to look in the refrigerator then but she had left us a little surprise. To our amazement, she had put a red velvet piece of cake in there for us with "Happy Anniversary." Despite the wet rainy weather, our stay at their Inn was fabulous. The room was cozy, quiet, inviting and exuded the same warmth that the owners do. Tammy goes well out of her way in decorating the home and providing outstanding breakfasts. On Sunday, she said she was going to try a new recipe and we should let her know how it was. She said she was nervous as this was the first time she was making it. OH MY GOSH!!! The Creme Brulee French Toast was nothing short of extraordinaire! Mouth watering is beyond description. We didn't want to leave! Next time we hope to get a good look at the grounds and explore more. We definitely will be back and will let others know of our experience.

    Wedding and a honeymoon

    October 08, 2012

    My fiance and I just had our wedding at the Orchid Inn Wedding Garden. It was gorgeous. The attention to detail that Tammy and Richard put into their landscaping is breath taking. On our wedding day Tammy and Richard assisted us which helped the flow of the wedding go very smoothly. After the wedding we stayed at the Orchid Inn for our honeymoon. It was the perfect romantic and relaxing place to have a honeymoon. The rooms are incredible, the decorations and comfort is second to none. We spent so much time just talking and relaxing in our room, it was great. The breakfast was some of the best food we have ever had in our lives. Tammy and Richard were so great to us, we do not have enough good things to say about them. We will be returning in the future.

    Wonderful scenery and perfect getaway

    August 06, 2012

    My husband and I just had a wonderful experience staying at the Orchid Inn. We stayed in the Lady Slipper Room and enjoyed the relaxation the setting gave us. Wonderful breakfest each morning, beautiful gardens and helpful information provided by Tammy, the Inn Keeper. We Highly recommend staying at the Orchid Inn!

    A relaxing oasis

    May 07, 2012

    I thoroughly enjoyed my one night stay while I was visiting family in the area and wanted a mini-respite. Very beautiful grounds even before all the trees were in bloom. The inn itself is decorated very tastefully and I felt thoroughly pampered. I will want to return soon with my husband!

    Can't wait to visit the Orchid Inn B&B again!!

    February 27, 2012

    This was the first Bed and Breakfast I have ever been to and can't imagine another bed and breakfast being better than this:) The moment we walked in the door we felt at home. We were celebrating our anniversary as well as my birthday and were surprised by a bouquet of beautiful flowers, and birthday cake in our room! The cleanliness of the room was outstanding, the breakfast and snacks were amazing, and the owners were just the sweetest people. I really can't say enough good things about this place. I can't wait to go back! Don't look any further, stay here, you will love it!! Thanks again Tammy and Richard:)
