Our beautiful bed and breakfast is located on Washington Island, located in northeast Wisconsin, is just off the end of the Door Peninsula and just north of the “tension” line. On a day with perfect weather, the ferry from Northport will have you to the island in thirty minutes.
Greengate Farm is situated on the northeast region of the island alongside one and a half miles of pristine lakeshore. Guests at Greengate have direct access to hiking trails, a vast expanse of shoreline, a beautiful orchard to wander through, and 300 acres of forest and field. George, owner of the farm with his wife Susan, has been a HAM radio operator since he was a child. He has created a unique place for himself and other hams to get on the air. If you are a HAM Radio operator, our HAM Shack, devoted solely to radio, is conveniently located so you don’t have a long walk to your accomodations.
Every season here has something to offer. Be it flowers in the summer, outstanding fall foliage, deep snows for winter fun, or the brisk weather of spring, Washington Island has it all. Greengate can be your base to get out and experience this quaint location in Wisconsin.
Getting Here
Check the ferry schedule before driving to the island. The ferry departs from Northport and the ride is 30-40 minutes long depending on weather. You can also leave your car on the mainland and take the passenger ferry over.
From the ferry dock on Washington Island, take Lobdell Point Road into town, left onto Main Road at the stop sign, right on Jackson Harbor Road, left onto Swenson Road and then continue straight past the stop sign and toward a stone wall. Take left through a green gate and proceed straight on our long driveway until you reach our parking area. Please watch out for dogs and wildlife while driving!
