Port Washington Inn


  • In 2010 Port Washington Inn received a brand new look with new siding, trim, and paint! What a glorious day it was when, painting accomplished and flowers in bloom, the inn no longer looked like a (re)construction site! Now the beauty of the exterior matches the beauty of the interior. Those of you who are into restoration know the rewards!

    Port Washington's location along the shores of Lake Michigan and half an hour or less from Milwaukee, Kohler, Sheboygan, and West Bend makes it a popular destination. History, picturesque charm, a lighthouse museum,an art deco lighthouse, the Interurban bike trail, the marina with parks at both ends, and a well hidden beach are treasures much appreciated in the very walkable historic district of downtown Port Washington. Harrington Beach State Park, Riveredge Nature Center, and Historic Cedarburg are all within 10 miles. Let us help make your visit to our area a pleasant one. Here's what recent guests wrote about their stay: "We sincerely and completely enjoyed every aspect of our stay here and we have the two of you to thank for that. Not only have you been excellent innkeepers (this place is stunning!), but you have also been tour guides, culinary experts, historians, storytellers, conversationalists, baristas, and so much more. This has been a weekend to remember, and we hope to make our visits on a regular basis. Thank you again for making our getaway weekend so special."

    The Port Washington Inn is ideally situated close to Lake Michigan, with a view of the lake from the front yard! It is an easy walk to sand beaches and the local marina, as well as the 30+ mile paved Ozaukee Interurban Trail. The owners live on-site, and provide friendly, knowledgeable advice regarding restaurants and places to visit near-by. The breakfasts feature home-baked breads and fresh fruit. The beds were wonderful, and the rooms furnished in beautiful antiques and matching reproductions. We felt coddled in this inn!

    We came from Chicago for a long weekend/mini-honeymoon, and the Port Washington Inn was perfect. Rita and Dave were so friendly and wonderful, and the food was delicious. And Port Washington is a great place to spend a few days. It was a relaxing, wonderful weekend.

    This is a fabulous B & B. The breakfasts' are superb and the inn is in a wonderful location. It's only a short walk to the lakefront. If you are ever in this area, this is the place to stay.

    We so enjoyed our stay. Our night of luxury included walking downtown to dinner and out on the pier. Our bedroom was delightfully decorated with antiques (even including a pocket watch and beautiful mirror and brush set) and our bathroom was delightfully modern and clean. Breakfast was delicious...with quiche served but with a buffet for the rest of the goodies so you could pick and choose from fruits and pastries. I would recommend this to everyone that loves B&B's.


    A lovely getaway!

    We stayed in Claire's Suite over the Memorial Day Weekend. The entire house was decorated impeccably, Victorian without being oppressive. Our suite was comfortable and included a sitting room and balcony with a lake view. The separate sitting room was perfect for reading/TV watching without disturbing your partner. The breakfasts were delicious and nutritious--lots of homegrown, homemade goodies. We had quiet, peaceful nights and privacy.
