The Inn
For over 100 years, Thorp House Inn has welcomed visitors to the charming village of Fish Creek. The five unique guest rooms offer the authentic ambiance of a bygone era amidst the spectacular natural beauty of the Door County peninsula. Whirlpools and fireplaces are available, and the Inn is open year-round.
Amenities
Guest rooms have been carefully furnished in fine antiques and accessories, documentary wall coverings, authentic lighting and European lace to re-create romantic periods of the past. Inn guests are welcome to enjoy the fireplace parlor, two libraries, summer "sitting porch" and a pantry stocked with complimentary soft drinks, coffee, tea and cookies.
Some of the guest rooms offer gas fireplaces, whirlpools or a glimpse of the bay. All guest rooms are non-smoking. Each has individually controlled heat, central air conditioning and hi-speed wireless Internet. To preserve the tranquil atmosphere of each guest room, we have resisted the installation of televisions and telephones. However, the “Everil” room has a television with VCR. And a guest telephone is located in the reception area.
Breakfast
Included in your "Inn Room" stay is a delicious home-baked breakfast served in our turn-of-the-century kitchen. The house specialty is English scones accompanied by muffins, Door County preserves, fresh seasonal fruit, homemade granola, a selection of yogurts, hard-boiled eggs, juice, and coffee or tea. Breakfast is served from 8:00 – 10:00 A.M. There is early morning coffee available in the pantry.
"Because of its physical integrity, early construction date and historic presence, The Thorp House remains the most outstanding representation of private home adaptation to the development of tourism in Fish Creek today."
