The Inn is beautiful and historically decorated, staff were friendly and efficient, breakfast (included) was delicious. The room and bed were comfortable. Loved the seating on the wrap-around porch and the view from porch swing was lovely. The flower and herb gardens added to the delightful ambiance. Location was close to shops and the ferry to Madeline Island. We had a lovely 2 day stay.

Excellent food , service and stay

Great staff and service. Lovely hotel. Only downside room was a bit hot and as we were in a room near the stairs there were a lot of chattering people saying good night to each other as they parted ways

We were pampered as always, the Rittenhouse is a bed and breakfast second to NONE. Every detail is perfect. Fine dining with a multiple course, chef-made breakfast, amazing location, beautiful rooms. Best of the best.
