Detailed Reviews
We absolutely love this place! The rooms are very clean and comfortable, the grounds are well kept, and the owners are fantastic! They live on site, so if you need anything they're always available to help. The location in Sister Bay is perfect, you can walk to a whole lot of restaurants, shops and bars. We already have our reservations for next year, see you then Sheena and Lee!

When you drive into the parking lot you see quaint cottage looking buildings, very clean and well maintained. Checking in was a breeze and they were fully prepared to social distance and provided everything needed for a contactless stay. The room was perfect. The location was perfect, right in the heart of downtown Sister Bay. I can't wait to return. You won't be disappointed.

Room was very nice and clean. Proprietor was friendly. Serene and beautiful setting with many flowers. Breakfast to go had many great choices. Bed was comfy, pillows were fluffy, and plenty of them. This place came highly recommended to us by a friend who also stayed here, and we'll stay here again next time we're in the area.

What a very well-kept property. The lady at the front desk was so very kind. Our rooms were very clean and the beds very comfortable. I really loved the extra care of the towels. The bathroom had a small makeup towel which we had never seen before. The towels were folded and presented with care on the towel racks. The bath area was very clean. The room was on second floor with a view toward the town of Sister Bay and the bay area. Walking was easy to get to the restaurants and the shops. The rooms were at night were very peaceful. Did not hear any outside noises. We felt very safe parking our vehicle behind the building. I would highly suggest this property. We even met a very nice couple from Iowa that have always stayed here. The only thing is there is no breakfast in the morning, but they have a very nice coffee machine and a small refrigerator to use. You can get some cherry donuts a day ahead and enjoy them with a cup of coffee on the nice deck with comfortable chairs right outside your door.

My husband and I stayed in Room 17 Aug 15, 16 & 17th 2022. This was are first time staying at the Village View Inn and I must say we were not disappointed at all! Our room was so super, super clean and spacious. Our favorite surprise was when we opened the back door there was a little private patio with two chairs and a little table and..... a view of the woods! We sat out there every morning. We picked this place for the location as it is in walking distance to the marina, beach, shops and restaurants (my husband loved the prime rib at the Bowling alley). Definitely would stay again!! Thank you Sheena for keeping up such a beautiful Inn.

Village View Inn was a lovely, clean, quiet, inviting and comfortable cabin right in downtown Sister Bay. Easy walking to local shops, eateries and night time entertainment. Sheena (and her husband) were very friendly and took time to stop and visit with us while we enjoyed sitting on our cute front porch.
I will definitely return and I highly recommend Village View Inn.

I have been burned so many times, so this was a welcome surprise. Village View was recommended by a friend, so I tried it. The room was very clean. Hand sanitizer available before entering the office. The owner wore a mask. Sheena showed me everything they were doing to keep these 70 yr old renters safe. And I appreciated it.
We were able to leave our care parked and walk around SisterBay. Everything was close by, and Sheena gave good advice on places to eat.
The room was spacious and had everything we needed. There were places to sit outside. My husband loved that he could open the windows, which had screens.
This trip was sort of a walk down memory lane for us. We had so much fun, we will be back. We needed a break from the city, and this was a safe one.

Love Sister Bay for a quick getaway. This was the only available place for the mid week stay. We usually stay elsewhere but was pleasantly surprised by how nice the Inn was. It's nothing fancy but the price was right. Perfect for walking to shops, restaurants and beach. They do offer in room coffee and a fridge in room. Office has microwave, water and ice. Bring your own breakfast unless you like Hostess sweets. Will definitely stay here again.

Cleanest hotel I've ever stayed at. The lovely couple/ family were so personable. Even the family dog was a sweetheart, he eyeballed my breakfast one morning. The owners make you feel comfortable. This was the only vacation I have taken since the pandemic. Trust the reviews. This place did not disappoint. My room was pleasant and surprisingly quiet. We opened the door to hear a live band down the road, but heard nothing in the room. We opened the windows at night and had such peaceful sleep. This place gave me the break and refresher I needed to get through this pandemic. I thank them for making us feel safe enough to travel.
