Northern Door County’s charming White Gull Inn is on Main Street in Fish Creek, Wisconsin, but not on the main drag—a key distinction. Rather, it’s tucked away on a quiet road in an idyllic location bordered by parks that provide a restful space to view the inviting waters of Green Bay.
So when a guest and I shared a recent weekend at the hotel, which dates to the late 1800s, we were well away from the traffic that flows through town on Highway 42, which also doubles as Main Street. That meant we could sit on our veranda, sip coffee that was delivered to our door, and enjoy birdsong, butterflies, and children’s laughter instead of vehicle noise.
Much more attracts visitors to the White Gull Inn, which dates to 1896, such as its location beside the Episcopal Church of Atonement’s lovely grounds and nearby Sunset Park.
