What guests say
9.9 / 10 · Exceptional on Booking.com, from 104 guest reviews
The Scofield House earns near-universal praise across 30 reviews, with guests consistently highlighting the warmth and attentiveness of hosts Karl and Janet, and the standout homemade breakfasts as defining features of the stay. The beautifully preserved historic property, quiet location within walking distance of downtown Sturgeon Bay, and thoughtful extras — from fresh-baked cookies to to-go breakfast bags — cement its reputation as an exceptional B&B. The only minor gripes raised were the presence of stairs and one room being on the smaller side, making this otherwise an overwhelmingly positive experience for virtually all guests.
