I cannot say enough about the comfort, hospitality and the food! Rittenhouse is by far the BEST bed and breakfast I have every stayed in. Normally old mansions turned into such places need repair, try to hard to be eccentric, or otherwise fall short of expectation. Not so at the Rittenhouse! Modern conveniences for comfort without spoiling the décor of the period in which the house was built is what you will find. Great bed, shower, spectacular view (from room X), whirlpool hot tub in room (much welcomed after walking around all day for hours on end, and there is so much within blocks of the Inn to see), fridge, and clean everything! There is no TV, but you don’t need it (and I would not have wanted it, I’d miss the views)! There is plenty to do and even in the Inn itself, you can play board games, socialize, or spend a quiet moment swinging on the front porch swing reading. The warmth and hospitality from the staff is overwhelming—so eager to help and make your stay memorable. The FOOD. Do not leave there without experiencing it. The included breakfast is 2 courses, and absolutely delectable. We are gluten-free, and if you let them know of diet restrictions ahead of time, they accommodate! We didn’t have to skip delectable breads and sides like we normally have to because they made special gluten-free alternatives to whatever they baked or put on the menu that day. You feel important, cared for and the stay was worth every penny. We will be back. It is my new favorite place for rest.
Did not stay at the hotel. We went for pizza and to gamble. The gluten-free pizza was amazing, and the gambling was fun, too. The staff are very helpful and friendly. The casino bar is very good. The only complaint I have is the curb appeal. All the landscaping is full of weeds. Not at all inviting. The inside is tidy and clean, but I'm sure a lot of people are turned off by the shabby looking front entrance/parking lot.
We loved this place! Great bartender, great food, and they took extra care to make sure my gluten-free needs were met - highly recommend!
P.S. I’m kind of a coleslaw snob and theirs was perfect.
This place is AMAZING! We are clean, gluten free (keto) eaters and St. James does not disappoint! Almost the entire menu is or can be gluten free, plus the owner doesn't cut corners on cheap ingredients. Sourdough pizza is high quality, Italian flour...it doesn't get better than this and we'll not hesitate to return for a vacation in Bayfield knowing it's so easy to not stress out over the quality of food available.
Didn’t stay here but went to the restaurant and oh my.. it’s a slam dunk. The staff are incredibly intentional and friendly. The food was fresh and flavorful. Specifically, the gluten free sourdough pizza crust was truly one of the best crusts I’ve ever had. The vibe offers a special, unique setting and the record player is a nice touch. And I can only imagine if the restaurant was this good, staying here would surely be a highlight as well. Highly recommend this spot during your visit to Bayfield!
Stopped in for dinner and had an amazing time! Our server was awesome. Great drink selection and a bunch of gluten free options for really reasonable prices. Wasn’t expecting to find such good gluten free pizza!! Will be back.
The food was so good and fresh! We loved that they accommodate dietary restrictions (vegetarians, vegans, and gluten free folks, this place is for you). Lots of space to walk around the yard here or pop inside the brewery to grab a beer. Kid and pet friendly as well!
Celiac friendly! The staff was so courteous, friendly and helpful. They offered me an allergen menu and were willing to change gloves, get a new washed scooper, and open a brand new container of the ice-cream I chose to ensure no cross contamination. What a treat! The ice cream in picture was Peanut Butter Cup, single scoop in a dish. You can see their scoops are generous and I assure you it was tasty too!!! I will be coming back here!
