“The Lodge at Leathem Smith charmed me with its position overlooking Sturgeon Bay and a come-as-you-are tiki bar, where the Kona Bay Fish House turns out some interesting seafood; I'm intrigued by a hotel that balances family-friendly perks with a serious marina. For a special event, the blend of rustic style and capable service feels like a genuine find.”
