  • Inn Details

    Conveniently centered in the heart of Fish Creek village, just one block above Main Street. A dense forest and limestone bluff provide a natural backdrop for the property which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Inn was the inspiration for LaVyrle Spencer's bestseller "Bittersweet". The 5 Inn guest rooms are authentically detailed with antiques and documentary wall coverings. Cottages are decorated in country antiques - most with wood burning fireplaces and whirlpools. Upon arrival, guests may not want to get back into their car for days. The waterfront and beach are just a block away and Peninsula State Park...just another 2 blocks. The many attractions within Fish creek include: fine dining, boutiques, galleries, live theatres, Eagle Bluff Lighthouse and the Historic Noble House (both open for touring in summer). The Inn and its Cottages are open all year and host the first stop on the "Fish Creek Historic Inns Progressive Dinners" held on the first three weekends of December and also on the first weekend of January. Please see our website for more information.

    In addition to the main building B&B, Thorp House has several small cabins on the property. We stayed at the Quail cabin. It was a quaint site in a quaint town (Fish Creek), nicely decorated in country style, with two bedrooms (larger than expected), a living area with fireplace, breakfast nook, small but fully equipped kitchen, and bath with a jacuzzi tub. All in all well worth the really rather modest price. I will stay there again.

    This was our first time staying at a B&B. The Thorp House was very romantic and enchanting! The decor of the house was absolutely beautiful in every detail. All bedding arrangements were comfortable. Our room and community quarters were exceptionally clean. The owner and Innkeeper were friendly, hospitable, and gracious. They made our first time memorable and enjoyable. We visited over the Christmas holiday season and were able to enjoy various activities at the state park and local towns. The community of Fish Creek, WI made us feel welcomed. I highly recommend visiting at the Thorp House Inn & cottages. We plan on staying again in the future.
