Great place for a quiet getaway. No phones or tv. Very comfortable rooms with a charming atmosphere. The dinner was wonderful. The breakfast was out of the ordinary and delicious. The staff tried very hard to accommodate any special requests and to make our stay pleasurable and comfortable.
My wife Lynne and I have come to know the Inn as the best place for any getaway purpose. From spacious comfortable rooms to the incredible dinners and breakfasts, one could not enjoy a stay more than we did. We have visited for a few of our anniversaries and are constantly amazed at the superb service and caring from everyone at the Inn. Of special note is the beautiful view of Lake Superior from the awesome wraparound porch. You can't go wrong sitting there for morning coffee or with an after dinner drink.There can be no doubt that we will be returning again and again if life permits. Thak you to everyone at the Old Rittenhouse Inn!
My husband and I have stayed at the Old Rittenhouse Inn twice. We always really enjoy our stay. The food is some of the BEST we have ever had and the staff is very friendly and accommodating. There are great views of Lake Superior from the Inn. We always stay in room XI, it is the best room in the house! It has a private balcony, fireplace, steam shower, and jetted tub. The Inn is truly beautiful and we can't wait to go back and visit again!
Our one night stay in the converted ballroom of room X was exquisite. It was wonderful to be part of B & B history, staying in the first of its kind in Wisconsin. And what a gem! We were warmly welcomed by a family member, like we were family. The location of this home on the hill affords epic views of the bay from your room, the restaurant, and the porch. Our room was palatially huge, with a hot tub truly large enough for two, a separate full bath, a two-sided fireplace, a small cafe table with chairs, and a window seat overlooking the bay. Oh, and a king-sized bed, too. The room is accessible only by stairs. However, Aunt Julie was kind enough to show me a first floor room that could be accessible by nearly everyone. The wrap-around porch is a delightful place to enjoy the sunrise, or sunset. The included breakfast was spectacular. Mine included freshly gathered wild mushrooms. The staff had no trouble accommodating my gluten-free needs. We also had dinner there, which was lovely. I found the atmosphere to be cosy, and certainly not too formal. The quality of the food was outstanding. The decor was late Victorian/Edwardian. With no phone and no television in the room, this is a great place to unplug. We travelled for two weeks in the UP, and very few places are calling my back to return. The Old Rittenhouse is one of them, and if I am ever in the area again, I will be staying here.
Stayed at the sister property LaChateau Boutin both times and is so private. You are definitely on your own as you would want to be at such a lovely mansion. If you needed anything there was someone always right there to help. Even leaving the person doing the gardening helped us with our luggage. Thank you to him! Wonderful breakfast and fine dining dinner. Mike was also a wonderful waiter. Can't say enough about these properties. Partake and enjoy!!
