Lakefront inns, a downtown hotel, a 1907 B&B and motels, with straight-line distances to the harbor.
On Memorial Drive the lake is either outside the door or across a busy four-lane road, which matters when you choose among the hotels in Two Rivers. A June 2026 guest at the Village Inn called the road "fairly busy" and the lakeside path a crossing of four lanes, while an August 2026 guest at the Lighthouse Inn found the bike path on the same side of the road as the building.
This guide walks through each Two Rivers Wisconsin hotel, motel and inn, plus one bed and breakfast and one inn for grown-ups, with straight-line distances to the harbor so you can judge how close each one sits. The distances run from each building to Rogers Street, the fishing harbor that sits on the East Twin River. Once you are unpacked, there is more of Two Rivers in the town guide.

How the lodging in Two Rivers divides up
The city's own visitor page sorts lodging into hotels and motels, historic homes and buildings, short-term rentals, and RV and camping. In straight lines, the Cobblestone and Red Forest sit 0.4 miles from Rogers Street, Cool City Motel 0.6, the Lighthouse Inn 0.8, the Lakeview Motel 1.5 and the Village Inn 2.4.
The three Memorial Drive addresses run south and west along Memorial Drive in the order of their street numbers, from the Lighthouse Inn at 1515 to the Lakeview Motel at 2702 to the Village Inn at 3310, and the Lighthouse Inn and Village Inn are 1.7 miles apart in a straight line. The downtown choices are the Cobblestone on 16th Street, the Violet Inn beside it, and the Red Forest on 25th Street.
The Lighthouse Inn and the shoreline rooms
The inn's own site adds a banquet hall named for Seymour Althen and bike and kayak rentals. An August 2026 reviewer who stayed for a getaway called it directly on the shore, dated but well kept, with a short walk to downtown and a breakfast that works as a voucher for a sit-down meal in the dining room. Another August 2026 guest liked the private beach and the lakefront path, and advised bringing your own bike, though the inn lists rentals, so ask when you book.
Read the cooler reviews too. A three-star review from September 30, 2026 described a facade that looked like it was falling off, a parking lot with grass through the cracks, a dated room with low shower pressure and a front desk that could have been friendlier, then praised comfortable beds, the lake view and the restaurant. A September 2026 wedding guest called the staff friendly and noted the inn is pet friendly, which Travel Wisconsin also lists.
Cobblestone Hotel & Suites and the downtown block
The hotel's own page lists complimentary daily breakfast, a beer and wine lounge, guest laundry, a 24-hour convenience store, check-in at 3 PM and check-out at 11 AM. Dogs are welcome with advance notice at $25 per dog per night, according to that page. Google shows it open around the clock, with a 4.1 rating across 285 reviews as of November 8, 2026.
Recent guest notes run both ways. A September 2026 guest praised a housekeeper and a front desk that rebooked a canceled stay without fuss, while an August 2026 guest found a dirty carpet and gnats. A June 2026 reviewer who stayed over Father's Day weekend described a crowded pool after a youth baseball team arrived, so ask about pool hours if you are traveling with small children.
The Violet Inn, Lounge & Spa at 1415 16th Street keeps its guest-room level adults only, the one stay here that does, and it sits beside the Cobblestone. It began taking bookings in mid-October 2025 with six guest rooms. Its site, updated October 23, 2026, describes original maple floors, 12-foot ceilings and a garden level open to the public with an infrared sauna and a speakeasy called the Fox Den that opens on weekends. Call (920) 653-4411 to check what is running on your dates.
Red Forest Bed & Breakfast, a 1907 house with a garden
The B&B's own site calls it a Victorian home with stained glass and lists four rooms, the Heritage Tea Room, Rose Room, Winnie's Room and Granny's Garden View Room, each with a private bathroom. It also lists a backyard patio with flower gardens, a front porch, a sun porch, a fireplace and a library, and names Dawn Boppre as host. The B&B's site says June availability is limited by a remodel; call about rooms and rates. Reviews through 2025 repeat the same points: a host who shares local history and recommends restaurants, home-cooked breakfast, and a garden for sitting. The number is (920) 793-1794.
Village Inn on the Lake for families and campers
The inn's site, modified July 14, 2026, says rooms face the pool area or the lake, suites face the woods and dunes for a quieter stay, and the course has 18 holes with nautical features. It also lists a hot tub, a fire pit, a playground, a basketball court and a dog-friendly policy without details. A June 2026 guest warned that suites toward the back face the RV area, though the neighbors were quiet. A July 2026 camper found the traffic on the road louder than expected.
Cleanliness draws the sharpest comments: a one-star review from October 11, 2026 alleges serious problems in a room, and an August 2026 reviewer likened the quality to a budget chain. Both are one guest's account, so read the latest reviews and call (920) 794-8818 with questions before you book.
Cool City Motel and Lakeview Motel for a lower budget
The motel's site lists a front desk open 9 AM to 9 PM daily. Reviewers in 2026 call the rooms clean and the staff helpful, and one in August 2026 said the building is old and still tidy. A May 2026 guest said the motel was under renovation, and the exterior and front office had already been updated. Anglers booking a charter can pair this stay with Reel Persistence Charters, which departs from Rogers Street.
The Lakeview Motel at 2702 Memorial Dr is the hardest to read. Travel Wisconsin's undated copy describes single-story rooms facing Lake Michigan, 16 remodeled rooms, a two-bedroom cabin, weekly and monthly stays, and pets welcome. A booking site listed it on November 5, 2026 and its summary describes it as older. Google shows no posted hours, and its latest guest review is from May 2023. Phone (920) 793-2251 to confirm it is taking guests before you count on it.
Pools, pets and walks to plan around
Three properties list an indoor pool: the Lighthouse Inn, the Cobblestone and the Village Inn. Dogs have the most options here, with Cobblestone's $25 nightly fee, Cool City's Pup Packs, and pet-friendly listings for the Lighthouse Inn and Village Inn on Travel Wisconsin.
The Mariners Trail runs six paved miles along the lake between Manitowoc and Two Rivers, with its north end at Neshotah Beach, though the city's page measures it at 5.5 miles. Neshotah Park lies 1.0 miles from the Lighthouse Inn and 0.7 miles from the Cobblestone in straight lines. A Cobblestone page notes a kite event at Neshotah Park, so check the current year's date.
A bigger lake day means a day in Point Beach State Forest, which lies about 3.5 miles northeast of the Lighthouse Inn in a straight line.
For art of a different kind, the wood type museum stands 0.2 miles from the Lighthouse Inn.
If you travel with your own rig, Scenic River Stop-N-Dock RV Park & Marina sits on the West Twin River at 2510 W River St with full hookups, 0.9 miles from Rogers Street. Tent campers can look to the state forest, where Travel Wisconsin places camping near Lake Michigan.
So the lake is outside the Lighthouse Inn's door, where an August 2026 reviewer found the bike path on the building's side of the road, or across Memorial Drive at the Village Inn, 1.7 miles away in a straight line.
