A Change of Seasons at a Door County Beach

October 28th, 2012

A Door County beach catching its breath between fall and winter.

What you are seeing above is the expanse of a Door County beach from Whitefish Dunes State Park looking south 3.5 miles to Glidden Lodge Beach Resort. This is a beach at rest between two seasons. At rest between a glorious, colorful fall and the moody landscape of winter.

At Glidden Lodge Beach Resort we help our guests enjoy our beach all year long no matter what the season. Each night you stay with us at the beach brings the gift of a Lake Michigan sunrise. And if you’ve not seen a Lake Michigan sunrise you are missing a breathtaking experience. Best of all, you can enjoy this gorgeous sunrise from the comfort of your waterfront suite. EVERY suite at Glidden Lodge features a front row seat to our version of “the morning show.”

Check out our season packages and make plans to spend the night at our Door County beach. Call us at 920-746-3900 or 866-GLIDDEN. Or drop us an email frontdesk@gliddenlodge.com. We promise you’ll be impressed.

A Door County Beach in Late Fall

October 14th, 2012

There are so many reasons to make the Glidden Lodge Beach Resort  your Door County getaway destination. Above all others, however, is the old real estate adage: Location. Location. Location.

If you stay at the Glidden Lodge Beach Resort, not only does EVERY suite have a front row view of a Lake Michigan sunrise every morning, you will also have access to all the natural beauty in our “neighborhood.” For the next couple of weeks, we are going to share some of that natural beauty with you.

We are busy working on the next edition of our eBook series: A Door County Beach in Fall. Watch for the announcement of completion soon. In the meantime, enjoy some of the outtakes from the 200+ photos we have taken over a three day period for this project.

The California coast has "the lone cypress." We have the "not so lonely cedar" at nearby Cave Point County Park.

And remember to contact Glidden Lodge Beach Resort for a Door County beachfront vacation you will never forget. Contact us today for your fall getaway: Phone: Call 920-746-3900 or 1-866-454-3336. Or email us at frontdesk@gliddenlodge.com
