White Lace Inn

We LOVED our stay at White Lace Inn! Our unit was clean and I loved that the shared kitchenette area outside of our room that had tea and coffee available 24/7. We had a king size tub in the bathroom that was massive and easily fits two people. The electric fireplace was a great touch and really gave it a cozy feel, especially as we stayed during Winter.

There was a short walk to the main house where breakfast was served every morning - very good and changed everyday. There were also options for tea, coffee, orange juice, cranberry juice, or a mix of orange/cranberry juice. The innkeepers were very friendly and full of information.

Great place to stay, just around the corner from the Main Street of town and would definitely come back again!

This was my husband and I's second time staying here and it did not disappoint, everything was absolutely wonderful Dennis the inn keeper is very friendly and helpful, the food is homemade and very good, our room was very clean and so pretty. I love everything about this b&b the location is a perfect walking distance from down town. Hoping to stay again very soon.

White Lace Inn - Sturgeon Bay Wi. This is ironic that I ended up here 3 days later. When I was originally looking for a place to stay I saw White Lace Inn which was built in 1903. This is a Bed & breakfast. I really like the Victorian architecture of the main house & old world charm of the interior. I tried to book a room only to find that they were booked for the dates I wanted so I booked a room in Bailey Harbor Yacht Resort. Fast forward a few days later & my car was experiencing some issues so I had my car towed from Bailey Harbor to Sturgeon Bay rather then risk driving 3 1/2 hrs back to Chicago where the auto shop was that diagnosed and fixed my car.

As faith would have it the Kevins Automative where my car was towed to was less then 3 blocks from the White Lace Inn. Coincidence I think not. Anyhow I booked a room for 1 night hoping my car would be ready quickly.

White Lace Inn is as beautiful inside as outside and it was such a pleasure to stay in a place w/so much old world charm instead of a modern hotel (maybe I'm getting old lol).

When I walked in the owner Dennis greeted me & took me to the room that I booked on line. I stayed in back of the main house in The Garden House where I had a very nice room on the second floor complete w/an actual wood fireplace complete w/firewood, matches, & fire starters complete w/instructions. I didn't use the fireplace though I was tempted. There was also a private bathroom attached to the room. The next morning I went to the main house for breakfast. When I came in Dennis asked me if I would like some coffee (of course) & juice. He served a very nice meal w/French toast w/berries
between the pieces of toast, slivered almonds & powdered sugar on top. This came w/a breakfast sausage & a small plate of pears. It was a good meal (but I could have used a little more).

Very quaint place w/a lot of charm, great history & hospitality. I would probably go back if I'm ever in Sturgeon Bay, Door County again.

My spouse and I spent a weekend in Sturgeon Bay this month, and stayed at the White Lace Inn! The buildings themselves were absolutely beautiful, and way more comfortable than a hotel room.
We stayed in room 6 in the Garden House, which was built in the 1800's. The bed was incredibly comfortable, the room was clean, and it has a wood burning fireplace that my spouse loved!
Being a bed and breakfast, the White Lace Inn also serves breakfast every morning. While we were there we got to eat blueberry stuffed french toast and a delicious egg bake. Breakfast is, I believe, from 8-10:30, which makes it easy to get to even if you sleep in (like we do!).
The innkeeper we met, Dennis, was very helpful, and the rest of the staff seemed incredibly friendly and welcoming. Side note: the coffee served at breakfast is DELICIOUS. We had to buy a bag to bring back to Milwaukee because it was so tasty!
Overall, we had a wonderful stay at the White Lace Inn, and hope to go back sometime in the near-ish future, when we can afford another vacation!

We stayed for 3 nights in early October. Our room was very charming and had everything we needed. Dennis is an excellent Innkeeper. Nice hot and tasty breakfasts, great coffee, and a wonderful sunrise to drink. We really loved the location. Everything in Door County was easily accessible. The neighborhood was nice and quiet and a short walk into town. We really enjoyed drinking wine and talking with new friends nightly by the fire pit. Thank you Dennis and staff for making this a vacation with excellent memories. God bless you all.

White Lace Inn is a delightful B&B property comprised of a Victorian main house and 3 other turn-of-the-century houses that total 18 guest rooms.  The guest rooms all have a quaint Victorian bed set up and historic decor.  The Inn is also on the National Register of Historic Places.  The 4 houses naturally and quaintly sit right in a residential area, and it's relatively easy to miss this whole place!

A couple of weeks before our stay, we lucked out and nabbed a room here for our one Sturgeon Bay night during this very prime and colorful fall period in Door County.  Suite 16, also called Winter Warmth, was fortuitously available in their Hadley House for one night.  Their other 2 houses are called the Garden House and Washburn House, and all 4 houses share grounds that include a gazebo, small garden, and a couple of other sitting areas. The included breakfast is served in the main house which just means a very short walk in the morning if you don't happen to be in one of the 4 guest rooms in the main house.  Folks just gather up at the available tables in the main house anytime between 8am and 10:30am and owner/innkeeper Dennis himself serves a delightful and delicious breakfast (a veggie egg bake, yogurt with fruits/nuts, poppyseed bread, a giant carafe of coffee, and orange or cranberry juice on this day).  We also met and chit-chatted over breakfast with a friendly and also retired couple from Fond du Lac, WI.

Our room was spacious, cozy, quaint, and delightful.  This was actually our first B&B stay as we usually just do conventional hoteling, so this was a much homier and personal experience for us.  Dennis was admittedly a bit on the harried side though as in this Covid era and commonly so everywhere, he was short staffed and was truly a one man show.  When we arrived, he was actually prepping the Garden House for a needed paint job.  He was a pro though, promptly dropped that activity, and then gave us a no-nonsense tour of our room.  Then we see him serving us breakfast the next morning - yikes but also kudos I thought.

When you arrive, you can park in their main parking lot right next to the main house, but depending on your room, you move your car as the Hadley and Washburn House each have 4 car spaces just a few feet from their front doors.  Quite nice and homey on that aspect also, and Dennis will tell you where to park.  Their location is also just a short 5 minute walk to Surgeon Bay's main commercial drag, 3rd Ave.

Overall, a great stay and a delightful B&B experience.  I would just say in this extraordinary Covid era, to cut some slack on the small stuff.  Like a couple of the houses needed a paint job, and Dennis was working it, but don't hold something like that against them.  The interiors and our guest room were well maintained and perfectly fine.  My only little gripe (and it's not just this place as I had the same issue at our other hotel) was that the pillows provided tend to be too polyester firm for me compared to my plush down-filled pillows at home, and it takes longer to fall asleep.  Also, not being on the road for almost 2 years thanks to Covid may be an adaptability factor as well.  Anyway, White Lace Inn overall gets a big thumbs up from me.

We had the most wonderful time! Beautiful room, everything was so clean. The innkeeper Dennis was very friendly along with with his staff.
Our breakfasts were excellent.
We will be back!

We spent two lovely days up in Door County at The White Lace Inn. It was peaceful and heavenly. We went looking into the history of my grandfather's Swiss family the Zettels. We found lots of exciting things including our ancestors from Luzern coming over and starting the cherry orchards in the 1800s. The owner was very kind and the room was clean and comfortable. A tip would be to have some vegetarian accommodations for breakfasts. We ended up skipping that meal and headed up to visit other locations in gorgeous Door County.

Great location. Rooms are very clean cheerfully decorated. Special note is their large pleasant garden with a small pond that's very nice to sit in.
Breakfast is ok. (I like my coffee a bit more robust.)

Disappointed after seeing the photo and reading the ad -most of the rooms are not in the house (inn?)shown. The properties seem tired and several years overdue for refreshing. Bathrooms in some rooms are old and small. There is a big difference in antiques and just old furniture. The breakfast was minimal -two very thin slices of strawberry and two blueberries pass for fruit at breakfast. See photos. Not planning to return.
