Bay-side cottage + cidery + sea-cave kayaks
Rent a house in Fish Creek or Sister Bay, hit a traditional fish boil at Pelletier's or White Gull Inn (the flame-up is the show), Wilson's in Ephraim for burgers and ice cream, a charter out of Sturgeon Bay for salmon and lake trout, and Door County Brewing in Baileys Harbor for the long afternoon. Cherry pie at Sweetie Pies. Northwoods bachelor — quiet, water-and-pine, deeply Wisconsin.
