The real estate market in northern Door County had been red hot, with even modest cottages selling for a small fortune. Want a view of the lake? You had better be prepared to spend a small fortune. Fortunately, there’s a place where you can enjoy one of the best views in Door County, and you’ll only pay the price of a good meal. Here’s why you need to head north to the Shoreline Restaurant.

While the food is wonderful, the real treat here is the view. The restaurant’s large windows offer a sweeping view of the bay that you won’t forget. And there’s no mortgage required!
