We're More Than a Place to Stay
Since 1982, the White Lace Inn has been more than a Door County bed and breakfast; it’s been a labor of love. When Dennis and Bonnie first walked through a dilapidated 1903 Queen Anne Victorian in Sturgeon Bay, they saw a dream waiting to be restored. Over four decades, they lovingly grew that vision into four historic homes wrapped in lush gardens, antique furnishings, and the kind of warm, genuine hospitality that brings guests back year after year.
Today, every detail, from the down comforters to the morning breakfast to the gardens you’ll wander at dusk, reflects that same devotion. When you stay with us, you become part of a story written by thousands of guests who’ve found something rare here: a true sense of home in the heart of Door County, Wisconsin.
