We stayed 4 nights at the cottage, and I would say it was an excellent choice for two couples traveling together. We each had our own personal space but were able to stay up late chatting without disturbing anyone else. The seating options in the common areas could be updated to be more comfortable and inviting. The location, right around... More

We stayed 3 nights of the Memorial Day Weekend at the Old Rittenhouse Inn in Bayfield, Wisconsin. Our room was wonderful...(room 7). Very spacious, lovely decor, beautiful, if partial, view of Lake Superior, great service of accomodations(room made up on return from a delicious breakfast) . We enjoyed a fabulous dinner on Sat. with a unique verbal presentation of the... More

My wife and I stayed one night in Room V. We purchased one of the Living Social deals, but were unable to make our initial reservation because of the 8 plus inches of snow in late April. Apparently it did not snow in Bayfield that weekend (although every website said it did) and they were VERY unfriendly when trying to... More

The rooms are very quite, something you do not see in most Bed and Breakfast outfits. The breakfast served to us was very very good. Their dinner menu looks very good, however we... More

The room, #8, was lovely with beautiful, backlit stained glass windows, fireplace and our own private entrance off the balcony. The dinner and 2 breakfasts we ate there were all superb! We loved everything but our absolute favorites were the smoked trout/wild rice salad and the rare duck breast. Every single staff person was outstanding from check-in, dinner servers, breakfast...

Since we wanted to go around May there were limited openings on the weekend due... More

My husband and I received a gift certificate as a wedding gift (5 years ago) and finally got to put it to use. We stayed during my husband's birthday April 26-28, 2013. The whole experience was fabulous. We reserved Room 11, which was so beautiful, tastfully decorated and romantic! We really enjoyed how it felt like our own little retreat.... More

Everyone was so kind and gracious. Julie was outstanding.... breakfast would not have been the same without her conversations! The whole Inn was so clean and beautiful. The food is AMAZING! The views of Lake Superior and the Apostle Islands were breathtaking! Will definitely return to this AMAZING place.

This old inn is an anomaly. Step back in time as you enter the Rittenhouse Inn and experience ambiance, friendly hosts, and gourmet food in a dining room surrounded in pieces of the past, from old china to antique cabinets to fireplaces from long ago. What a total immersion in the past with all the contemporary luxuries one enjoys in... More
