GETTING HERE IS SIMPLE

Getting to The Ellison Inn is a breeze. Ellison Bay is just 37 miles north of Sturgeon Bay and may be reached by highway 42 from Manitowoc, and Highway 57 from Green Bay. The drive to Ellison Bay is one of the prettiest in the state. Wind along the shoreline by staying on highway 42 after Sturgeon Bay. Pass by the apple and cherry orchards as you approach Ellison Bay from the top of the hill where the view is breathtaking. You will find us on the right of the hill  across from the Ellison Bay beach as you descend down the hill into town. With self check-in services you have you time restraints allowing you to sit back, relax, and get ready to embark on a memorable stay.
