Such a unique place to stay! It is definitely a bucket list place to stay for sure. Our family enjoyed the silo very much, including the beautiful windows at the top for a great view, different floors and bedding options, and great patio out back. The location is the best in Fish Creek--close to Peninsula, shops, the beach, restaurants, etc. Everything is walkable from the silo!

This was our first trip to this property. For the most part it was clean and family friendly. It is a very cool concept to try at least once. It is a little small for my family of 5. We had to utilize the pullout sofa every night and not really use that space. It is a very cool space to relax and look out of the windows. We did find garbage in the can from previous renters. Also found pair of dirty Socks behind door in bathroom. It did smell like cigarette smoke when the dehumidifier turned on. We also had to go purchase toilet paper. Even though it had its issues, all and all was a cute place to stay.

Unique and Charming!
Two of my childhood girlfriends and I stayed at the Silo Guest House over the long Memorial Day weekend. We could not have asked for anything more unique and special. The three of us had a blast - we rarely left the silo to venture out, as all we needed was there. A quick trip to the grocery store to pick up our adult beverages and some things to nibble on and we were set! We loved the backyard, which includes a nice sunning deck and a fire pit. It was quiet and tranquil on the property. Our favorite room is the top floor, which is the living area. It is so peaceful and calm. Just magical. If you want a unique, fun and special experience, I highly recommend the Silo Guest House.

An Idyllic weekend in Door County
My girlfriends and I grew up in Door County, and chose it for a get together after almost 20 years! We found the perfect property for our long awaited reunion - the Silo House in Fish Creek. It is a super cute and unbelievably unique. The first floor featured a small dining room, leading into a charming little kitchen. Despite its size, the kitchen really has the majority of things that you need to do some basic cooking or grilling. There is also a half bath right off the kitchen. That’s when you begin to encounter the spiral staircase! It leads up to the rest of the bedrooms and all the way ip to a crow’s nest. A beautiful room just big enough for a fun game of Scattergories. But my favorite part of the property was the little porch off the back of the house. Being blessed with beautiful weather, we spent most of our time outside just sitting in the sun, drinking coffee and mimosas. Fair warning, this property may not be great for people who need a lot of privacy. There are no doors between the two main bedrooms. No big whoop if you are vacationing with girlfriends. Probably won’t work if you are traveling with your mother-in-law. LOL. But seriously, if you want a fun property that is in the heart of Door County, this is the place! And thank you to our hosts for making it so special!

This was a very cool last minute break location. Very picturesque. Everything went smoothly. There were plenty of towels etc. The decor is a dated but well maintained. The location is perfect right on the edge of the park. And fish creek is a lovely village with loads of food options. Perfect base for visiting the whole peninsula.

This is our second year in a row staying at the solo guesthouse. It is such a unique place to stay, inside a converted stone silo. It is cozy and in a perfect location for exploring Door County. It’s pretty basic and dated inside, but the 360 view from the top floor can’t be beat. It’s a block from Julie’s for a fantastic breakfast and Wild Tomato for pizza.

Unique property in a great location
We really enjoyed our stay at the silo! Quirky and fun perfect location. Enjoyed coffee in the mornings on the deck and watched an evening storm roll in upstairs in the surround windows. Right next to peninsula state park. 4 adults in our group, bring a hairdryer, kitchen has some basics to cook with (salt, pepper, oils, coffee filters), beds comfortable. We would go back.
