About this venue

The Griffin Inn, as it was once before named, has a rich and interesting history beginning around 1872. First as a root cellar, then as a home and about 1910 as an Inn and restaurant. More than just her cherished old buildings, behold the lovely grounds she’s nestled on… The Griffin Inn is quintessential old Door County, a last of her kind, emblematic of things as they once were, a witness as to why many of us love Door County! The Griffin Inn, reborn… So what is The Griffin Inn today? We’re a “caretaker” of this grand old place, with a mission to restore the old charm of her buildings and grounds, so that you and your family and friends may continue to enjoy this special place for years to come. Please consider hosting your special private events with us at The Griffin Inn.

    The Griffin Inn was the perfect classic, historic, and charming venue for our wedding day. From the moment we first inquired, the team was a delight to work with - their attention to detail and ease of communication made the planning process seamless. On the day, the venue looked absolutely beautiful and exceeded our expectations. We found the pricing affordable but without compromising on quality. The Griffin Inn was truly a gift to our special day, and we are so grateful to have celebrated at this stunning, one-of-a-kind location.

    Five star, unique experience! There is no other venue in Door County that features a 125 year old lodge, on its original 5 acres, with authentic, "Dark Sky", old Door County charm!
