Old Rittenhouse Inn

Old Rittenhouse Inn is a Queen Anne Victorian home completed in summer of 1890 as a summer residence. Mary and Jerry Phillips purchased the home in 1973 and began running Wisconsin’s first Bed and Breakfast.

The exterior of the house is a combination of native Lake Superior brownstone, creamery brick and shingles. Originally painted a dark green and shaded by massive pine trees, today it is more true to its “painted lady” architecture with a total of seven paint colors on the current version.
