The Village Green Lodge is now known as the Wilder Inn, as it has just changed hands. It is a motel, so not super fancy, but it certainly fit our needs. The staff was super nice, pointing out that they just purchased it and were working on lots of upgrades, including a free breakfast...which was basic (oatmeal, fresh fruit, yogurt and coffee), but, again, enough for us. Our room was a bit musty smelling, so that is one thing I hope they work on. Otherwise it fit all our needs. Totally forgot they had an outdoor pool, which really looked nice but I was unprepared to use it. Location is great, close to Post Office for a fish boil, Wilson's for burgers and ice cream, Anderson dock for a sunset, Peninsula State park for some nature, great views and an evening at the theater.

Very nice and quiet place. We thought it was gonna be closer to water view, but it wasn’t. We did miss not having any elevators to get our belongings to our room since we were on the second floor, but there was a nice gentleman in the office who helped us. ❤️

Our stay here was great! The room was very clean, if a little dated, and the beds were very comfortable. Charming, quiet (adults only), and super convenient walking distance to restaurants and the water. The staff was friendly and very helpful. The hotel will be undergoing renovation this winter as it has new ownership and we look forward to staying there next summer!

Staff was friendly, checkin easy; There was coffee and misc breakfast fruit and treats by 8a ea morning, or grab & go. We were there for a wedding weekend. Situated on a quiet street, easy to find, and in a wonderful area with restaurants in walking distance. Just few miles from Sister Bay where the wedding venue was. Room was clean and bed was comfy. Pool didn't open until next day after we left. Thank you!

We didn't know when we booked on Expedia, Village Green Lodge is under new ownership. The grounds were messy, no towel bag to refresh towels, the pool was closed and not ready, and the rooms are outdated. The walk to the water view is short. If you want a nice view, this is not the place for you. If you want a quiet place to stay and don't care about the room, this will check the box.
