CELEBRATING THE 4TH OF JULY

COFFEE HOUSE BUZZ...


Flags are flying, bands are marching, brats are frying, fireworks will fill the sky!
Homestead Suites is in the center of all the Independence Day happenings in Door County.  Guests are participating in the Hairpin Run. The locals and volunteers are working very hard to make your 4th of July a time to remember.

FISH CREEK CHATTER:

Visitors to Fish Creek are decked out in the classic Red, White & Blue! The weather is PERFECT  for whatever you came to do in Door County.  Beaches are populated with sun worshipers as well as those who want to get a good spot to view the fireworks displays.  The marigolds have been planted in town between the sidewalk and road as many annual visitors expect. 

HAPPY 239th BIRTHDAY, AMERICA!

THINKING SPRING. . .

COFFEE HOUSE BUZZ:

As many Spring Breaks are being completed, visitors to the Door Peninsula are taking in the milder temps-leaving their skis behind, and bringing their hiking shoes, bicycles and light weight jackets!  The Homestead Staff is working diligently on completing their Spring tasks in all departments: Spring Cleaning, Linen updates, Indoor Maintenance and Landscaping.

Our Manager oversees all activities and is also looking forward to his turkey hunting week and getting those golf clubs ready!  The Front Desk is taking advance reservations.  Can't wait to welcome back our Return Guests, as well as preparing for our First Time Visitors, Group Travelers, Weddings, Family Reunions, Bikers and Golfers.

FISH CREEK CHATTER:

Around town, the Christmas lights are (mostly) down.  The White Gull Inn has reopened after a two week closure for some remodeling.  The snowbird business owners have yet to return, and the locals are filtering back from their Spring Breaks.  Still taking bets on "When the ice will be out"  of Green Bay.   Looking forward to a wonderful Tourist Season in FISH CREEK!   Happy Easter to all.

SIZZLING SUMMER NEWS


Homestead Coffee House Buzz:

Well, since Easter things have been steadily gearing up for this very busy Summer Season at The Homestead Suites.  Paul is back in town, Kevin and Mark have been keeping the hotel running smoothly, and the rest of the Staff is in Full Swing!

Our continental breakfast layout and items have changed a bit, and those changes have been well received by our guests and returning guests.

Fish Creek Chatter: 

The Independence Day celebration in Fish Creek was VERY well attended by our guests, the locals, and the day trippers!  The Fireworks display received great reviews, and everyone seems to be moving a bit slower today!

With all the great activities and the wonderful weather that we have, Fish Creek is the place to spend your vacation!  Peninsula State Park is right around the corner, with bicycle trails, beaches and Door County Serenity.

Gearing up . .

Homestead Coffee House Buzz 

Can you believe it snowed yesterday with flurries lingering today?  After the major meltdown last week, about 3" of snow arrived yesterday morning.  Enough is enough!  I think we are all ready for the WARM days of Spring to arrive.

Even though Mother Nature takes her time, the Homestead Staff is busy preparing for the upcoming season.  Various rooms and hallways are receiving new carpeting for Easter, and the housekeepers are hopping at their Spring Cleaning duties.


What's New in Fish Creek

The Cookery should be open in a few weeks. The Wild Tomato is serving up hand-tossed pizza.   Looks like the Arroyo Bay Grill is open again for the season, too!

The ice will be off the bay soon, and local fisherman are eager to drop their lines.

The Door County Half Marathon is a sell out for the first Saturday in May, and we are so excited to see our return runners and their families back at the Homestead.
