Outdoor Pool Opening Soon

May 14th, 2013
High Point Inn's outdoor pool just uncovered from winter hibernation

Our outdoor pool gearing up for the summer season

Sunny Salutations!

The sun is shining today in Door County (at least for now) and I am currently enjoying the view of our outdoor pool which has just awoken from winter hibernation.  Kent, our maintenance dude is currently detailing the pool, getting it in ship shape condition for active duty.  Tempted by the thought to relax poolside and soak up some sun, I’ll settle for the happy images of summer sun and swimming floating through my mind, especially since the temperature is not cooperating for outdoor lounging.  Until our summer heat wave arrives, guests at the High Point Inn will be able to enjoy our heated outdoor pool starting Memorial Day Weekend, Friday May 24.

Cheers to poolside doses of sunshine!

Dreaming of a Door County Spring at the High Point Inn

April 11th, 2013

Greetings, Libbi here, a jolly employee at the High Point Inn. I’ve been rockin’ the HPI going on two years now.  This being only my second winter working in Door County, I’ve had to be a bit more patient for spring to arrive this year compared to the enjoyably mild winter I experienced last year.  To help encourage spring time at the High Point Inn, I drew flowers in the snow banks hugging our walkways for our guests and arriving employees to enjoy.  I can’t wait for the abundance of real flowers that color the outside of the High Point Inn to emerge from our slowly shrinking piles of white, truly putting an end to this never ending winter.

Are you also experiencing spring fever? Call and make a reservation to enjoy our great Spring Awakening Special today!
