Reaching like an outstretched thumb into the cold waters of Lake Michigan, Door County has beckoned generations of travelers. Little villages dot the shoreline of the Door County Peninsula, tucked into bays that once offered refuge to the fishermen who first settled here. Today every village is picture-perfect, and has its legions of fans, but Sister Bay, Wisconsin, has a mix of beauty and amenities that’s hard to beat; it can hold its own with any vacation spot of its size in the country. Here’s why.
Sister Bay is not a big town, with a population of just 876 residents. It swells in size though, when tourists flock here on busy summer weekends to take in the shops, restaurants, waterfront, and small-town beauty.
