Sturgeon Bay Bed and Breakfasts: Historic Beauty & Sturgeon Bay Shopping & Dining
Experience gracious elegance and sincere hospitality at Sturgeon Bay bed and breakfasts. You’ll be pampered with canopied beds and soft linens, crackling fireplaces and bubbling whirlpools, homemade muffins and scones, afternoon refreshments, parlour games, and a wide array of personal touches. Stay at a Sturgeon Bay bed and and savor a historic setting, luxurious amenities, romantic ambience, and gourmet food.
Bed and breakfast visitors and locals alike flock to Sturgeon Bay restaurants for traditional fish boils, steaks of mild whitefish from the waters of Lake Michigan boiled on a hot wood fire in a kettle of salted water. In a steel basket with potatoes and onions, the fish is brought to a rolling boil until the perfect moment when kerosene is sprinkled onto the fire causing the water to boil over and carry off the fish oil that rose to the top. When ready to be eaten, the dish is drizzled with melted butter and savored by everyone who’s ever tasted it. A traditional fish boil is always followed by a slice of Door County cherry pie, so save room for dessert!
From fish boils to supper clubs, bakeries to breakfast joints and fine dining to brew pubs, Sturgeon Bay restaurants will dazzle your palate and leave you dreaming of your next meal. Ask your bed and breakfast innkeepers for restaurant recommendations and settle in for a meal you’ll never forget!
While enjoying your bed and breakfast vacation in Sturgeon Bay, browse through downtown shops selling beautiful antiques, unique gifts, gorgeous art, and maritime treasures. Pop into a specialty food shop or visit a local farm stand before returning to your bed and breakfast, and take home a taste of Sturgeon Bay.
