A Door County original, the historic White Gull Inn has provided accommodations with character and unforgettable dining to generations of visitors to the Door Peninsula. The antique-decorated rooms, suites and cottages are meticulously maintained and many feature working fireplaces and double whirlpools. Famous for hearty breakfasts which are included with each stay, the inn serves three meals a day to guests and the general public. In the heart of the village of Fish Creek, the inn is off the main highway, yet close to beaches, the harbor, art galleries and shops, music festivals and Summer Theater.

It could be a story from the nineteen seventies or eighties: a middle aged professional gives up his lucrative practice and moves to a remote village to become an innkeeper. Except that it happened in 1896. In the 1890's, Fish Creek, on Wisconsin’s Door Peninsula, was a bustling little town that was changing from a fishing community to a summer tourist village. It lacked electricity, telephone and automobiles, and overland access was limited to a rough and tumble stage ride from Sturgeon Bay. However, visitors so appreciated the cool air and peaceful beauty that they were willing to make the trip each summer on the Goodrich Steam Line from cities around Lake Michigan. One resort, already established, was operated by Asa Thorp, founder of the hamlet.
