MARCH....CAME IN LIKE A LION

COFFEE HOUSE BUZZ:

Will it go Out Like a Lamb? With the taste of Spring that we experienced during parts of February, we are hopeful that March will indeed Go Out Like a Lamb!  The Homestead is undergoing our usual off-season maintenance while still providing ample accommodations for our Winter guests.


The former "Hickory" Suites are being converted to the "Apple Suites".  The rooms that were converted last year were a hit with guests who enjoyed the new Walk-In Rain Showers in the bathrooms. 


Our Guest House has been "under construction" since November and is receiving a complete internal remodel with new floor plans, furnishings and amenities.  We'll keep you updated on the progress.


Don't forget to make your Spring Break plans to visit the Homestead Suites in Fish Creek for your biking, hiking, shopping, eating, fishing and wine tasting activities!



Waiting for Spring !

WHAT DID YOU DO ON WINTER BREAK?

COFFEE HOUSE BUZZ:

The week between Christmas and New Year's means a trip to Door County for several families who choose the Homestead Suites for their annual gathering. Check out the hungry birds being fed at the White Cedar Nature Center in Peninsula State Park.  The perfect outing for all ages!
 
 
 
 

FISH CREEK CHATTER:

Snowbirds have gone south and the locals rung in the New Year with various celebrations. Some enjoyed a nice, quiet evening at home with family and friends.  The Fish Creek Winter Festival is just weeks away, and those outdoor activities are being planned.  Come and join us for some great cold weather fun in Clark Park and on the ice (weather permitting).

RINGING IN THE NEW YEAR-


COFFEE HOUSE BUZZ:



Passing along the cutest greeting from one of our guests who we believe has been coming to the Homestead at least once a year for ALL of her life!  With her permission, we are able to portray to all of our present and future guests some of the many reasons visitors come to the Door County peninsula and stay at the Homestead Suites:

The last week of 2016

COFFEE HOUSE BUZZ:

With the Christmas Holiday behind us, families are taking a breather and enjoying the wonderland in Door County.  The Homestead Suites hosts our annual and first-time Winter Break guests who appreciate our indoor pool and whirlpool when they return from a hike, snowshoeing or sledding in Peninsula State Park.

Let It Snow !

COFFEE HOUSE BUZZ:

It is snowing in Fish Creek! Snowbirds have flown South, and some of the Main Street merchants have too!  Our deer hunters have another gun season in their rear view mirrors, and will hold out for a trophy from what's remaining of the archery season. The Homestead is home to several annual family Christmas gatherings which are coming up in the next few weeks.  How lovely it is to reconnect with our guests and see how their families have GROWN over the years!




FISH CREEK CHATTER:



Maybe there will be a blanket of white for next weekend's official Tree lighting and Caroling at the Noble House Square in Fish Creek.  The town is aglow with holiday lights.  End of the year sales are posted in the store windows.  Peninsula State Park is awaiting the cross country ski enthusiasts, winter campers, snowshoe hikers and of course, those who brave the ice fishing.
