  Door County Real Estate:  Gills Rock:  A commercial fishing community in Door County, Wisconsin.     Welcome to the  Town of Liberty Grove (population of appoximately 1900) which features the unincorporated commercial center of GILLS ROCK, WISCONSIN 54210 (with 290 residing in Gills Rock as per the 2010 census).         Gills Rock is a true commercial fishing village.  As such, I am honored to be a part of Door County’s commercial fishing heritage.  As regulations get more stringent and actual species begin to disappear—first herring, then “lawyers” (burbot), then perch, now chubs, it becomes more and more difficult for the local commercial fisherman to survive.  This is a rugged and rural area of Liberty Grove, and it's not an uncommon site for residents and visitors to wait on the d...

Coldwell Banker is proud to be representing The Shoreline Condominium.  Gills Rock is a great little community that is centered on commercial fishing (really), and where whitefish and smoked fish prevail.  You can drive to the end of the Door Peninsula and take a ride to Washington Island (try the lawyer (yes, another fish dish! not a litigator) while you're on the Island).  Get your BITTERS CLUB CARD.  E-mail me and ask how you can go through this strange right of passage and join this exclusive club. Something that's really fun is the Gills Rock July 4th celebration and fireworks.  From your balcony, you'd have the best view in town here!  Visit Charlie's Smokehouse, The Shoreline Restaurant, the Maritime Museum, and much more.  This Shoreline unit has 2 bedrooms and two baths and a g...
