eschewed here, it actually feels like a century ago in this antique-adorer's paradise. It em-

Walnut Guest House
(454 N. 7th Ave., 877/255-9568,

,
$145-160). The inn's four relaxing rooms are entirely different from one another—hmm,
do you want the one with the spiral staircase to the hot tub in a tower, or the one with the
double-sided fireplace?—but all are delightfully well-conceived. This guest house is very
highly recommended.
The
Bay Shore Inn
(4205 Bay Shore Dr., 920/743-4551,
www.bayshoreinn.net
,
$199-310) has long been known as one of the most family-friendly resorts in the United
States; it has three dozen luxurious apartment suites overlooking the bay, with a private
beach. The lodge was once a dairy barn from the 1920s. Just follow Highway B north out
of town.
The exteriors of the cottages at
Cliff Dwellers
(south of Potawatomi State Park, 920/
333-1551,

,
from $170) are quaint. The one- and two-bedroom units
are done up quite nicely inside (townhouse units are more expensive). Guests have an in-
door whirlpool and sauna and an outdoor pool, along with access to free bikes and row-
boats.
The 1930s
Glidden Lodge
(4676 Glidden Dr., 920/746-3900 or 888/281-1127,
www.gliddenlodge.com
,
$240-395) was the epitome of hedonistic delight at the time—a
massive, fieldstone main building offering stunning lake views. On the “quiet side of the
peninsula,” it's got a prime peninsular location. It's all suites, which all offer breathtaking
lake views and magnificent sunrises. Follow WIS 57 north to Highway T and turn right to
Glidden Drive.
