The guest house is always comfortable...air conditioned for summer's hot days, centrally heated for Spring and Fall. Cards, checkers, puzzles, dominoes etc. are there for rainy days.

Owner's Map of Sturgeon Bay
We bought our Door County property many years ago. The view and perfect approach to the water sold us on the location. We've been vacationing at our house and renting the adjacent guest house ever since, enjoying every minute.

Peg, Thank You!! We had a wonderful time in the cabin on the bay. The location was perfect. Close to everything but yet secluded enough that we had some privacy. I would recommend this to anyone who likes the outdoors and some peace from all of the hustle and bustle. We had a fabulous time in Door County, thanks for being a part of it.
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, sightseeing, girls getaway, age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers.

Panorama Guest house has a beautiful view of Green Bay. We enjoyed watching the sailboats, charter boats and freighters on the bay. When she says it is right on the beach it is literally steps away. The sound of the water splashing was very relaxing. The guest house is centrally located to make it possible to tour all of Door County. State Parks, lighthouses, wineries and restaurants are minutes away! The Guest House was a perfect place to celebrate our anniversary! Peg is wonderful to work with before, during and after our stay. Thank you Peg! I would recommend the guest house to friends and family traveling to Door County.
Owner response:The location is what makes the Panorama so special.

My family of 4 (including kids aged 11 & 7) had a beautiful vacation at the Panorama! The cottage is great and having the water right outside our door was wonderful. The bonfire area was a perfect spot to enjoy a glass of wine while the kids threw rocks in the water and made S'mores. And it was close to so many wonderful Door County destinations - state parks, dining, museums.
Owner response:A bonfire ring on the beach next to the cottage is one of its most popular features.
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, sightseeing, adventure seekers, families with young children, families with teenagers.

We wanted something private and romantic for our 30th Anniversary and we found this place. Although it was cold and rainy while we were here it was still so very peaceful and enjoyable. We have been looking for a place like this to vacation at and we were extremely pleased and will definitly be back.

We enjoyed the stars as much as the sunsets from the deck. It was a great vacation and when we get back to Door County, we'll come back to the Panorama.
