Location: Ellison Bay, Door County, Wisconsin, USA (36 Miles from Sturgeon Bay)
Accommodations: House, 2 Bedrooms + Den, 2 Baths (Sleeps 4-6)
The Anchors Aweigh Inn is located in Gills Rock. It is a modern ranch home with 2 bedrooms + den and 2 full baths. The home also has a large, open kitchen area with dining and a woodburning fireplace.
The home is situated approximately 300 feet from a small marina and boat launch. Its location on Green Bay is in one of the prime salmon and bass fishing areas of northern Door County. There is ample room on the property to park a boat and trailer or arrangements can normally be made at the marina to leave the boat in the water.
The home is also within walking distance of the Washington Island Ferry, charter fishing and sightseeing boat charters, as well as the Shoreline Restaurant and Voight's Smoked Fish House (the best in the County). The Anchors Aweigh Inn is 2 miles from Newport State Park (one of the nicest sand beaches in the County).
In the evening, walk down to the waterfront and catch a beautiful Door County sunset. The Gills Rock area is on the "quiet" end of the peninsula where there is less traffic and noise. If you are looking for nightlife, however, the other villages are only a short drive away.

Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 1994
Why the Owner Chose Ellison Bay
We wanted to have a home close to our business, the Trollhaugen Lodge in Ephraim, for our winter getaway while our business is closed. We chose the Ellison Bay/Gills Rock area because it is on the quieter, northern end of Door County and offers outstanding fishing and boating on Green Bay and Lake Michigan and spectacular sunsets.
The Unique Benefits of this House
There are many great things about the home's location. The fantastic sunsets, the small private marina behind the home which has charter fishing, dockage and boat launch availability. It is also only a short walk to the Washington Island passenger ferry and a quick ride to the car ferry if you want to take your car over to Washington Island. There is also a small commercial fishing business that is a short walk where you can purchase fresh fish in the morning. The home is located close to the Newport Beach State Park which has the best sand beach on Lake Michigan. The home is located close to all other restaurants, shopping and attractions in Door County. Another plus is the miles of paved roads in all the wooded areas for walking and biking.
