Bayfield Visit

The location was a few miles from Bayfield making it very convenient but allowing for privacy and relaxation from the busy town life. It was also an easy drive to the other side of the peninsula. Although the property is shared by another cabin the drive is large enough that it still felt like its own place. The beds were comfortable and the house was stocked with more than I ever realized. It was very nice to have so much included and not need to pack as much for the trip!

Excellent spot to stay when visiting the Bayfield, WI area!

Awesome property tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Bayfield. Also, right around the corner from the Fruit Loop where all the orchard's are located. Living area was a comfortable place to relax after long days at the lake. Kitchen has everything you need minus an oven. A bit small if you have a 5-year-old like i do, but, thats only because the little ones need room to run. Otherwise, it was exactly what we needed. The bathroom was very nice with plenty of room. The cleanliness of the place was par to none. Perfectly located property only 5 minutes from Bayfield, 15 minutes from Meyers Beach, and between 5-10 minutes to the orchard's dependent on which one you decide on.

This was an amazing place to stay! So comfy, close enough to do whatever you wanted to in town, but far enough away to have some privacy. We loved every aspect of staying here. The owners really put a lot of thought and care into what experience they wanted for their customers. Would definitely stay here again.

Great Location

Chris was wonderful at communication and making sure we had everything for a wonderful vacation which made the trip perfect. The location is great as it's close to the ferry to Madeline and all the Apostle Islands has to offer. Definitely recommend. Also, the unit was spotless which I really appreciate and they even gifted a jar of local jam upon arrival. Thank you!

Cozy cabin in the woods

Loved the outdoor fire pit. Cabin was very clean cute and comfortable. Lots of nice amenities. Beds and pillows were comfortable. Property manager quickly responded to questions. Location was secluded but close to town. There were others staying at the other cabin, didn’t bother us. We were in and out of the place each day. Large fridge and nice toaster oven. Small stove top made it tricky to make a meal needing both burners.

Starry Nights

Perfect place that was secluded, but yet very close to the Bayfield downtown area. We were able to see the northern lights one night and the meteor shower from the front door! House was packed with amenities down to the firewood. The owner was very proactive in communicating. Overall very easy process. The hammock was a nice addition my kids liked. Although there is other property onsite, very easy to keep to yourself.

Glamorous girlfriend getaway

This place is a rare beauty a little bit off the beaten track, but very close to town. My high school friend and I wanted a nice place with two beds, which is hard to find. The home and property were beautiful, modern, and clean. Lots of little extra touches, showing how much care was put into making this comfortable stay. Would highly recommend and definitely come back!

Lovely property in a great location

This was a perfect location for our family. It is close to Bayfield and not too far from Cornucopia (where the company we selected for a kayak was located) or Meyers Beach (kayak launch and hiking). The host left great instructions and the property was clean and had everything we needed.

Cute Bayfield Cottage

We stayed here last July for my 40th as we wanted to be close to Madeline Island, but not camp. The main drawback was the list of restrictions. The red tape is I’m sure to avoid party goers, but it was a little bit of a turn off. Fortunately I asked the owners if it was ok to have my parents over for a fire abiding by the time limits posted and they ok’d it. Outside of that it was a great little place for my husband and I and our two kids (aged 1.5 and 10) to have dinner, sleep, have a camp fire with marshmallows, and go to/from a day trip to the island at the beach. It was well kept and had a nice little kitchen, living area, and nice bathroom. I would consider staying again. A plus might having a high chair or booster, pack n play, and or baby gate for the top of the stairs so we wouldn’t have to bring along.

Great cottage!

Check in was easy and house instructions were clear. The house was clean, the kitchen was well stocked, towels were provided, the beds were comfy, and there was enough linens for the futon. I did have to contact the owner and I got a response right away. The size of the cottage was perfect for our family of four. Loved our stay in Bayfield, we’re already planning our next trip.

A must stay!

This property was so beautiful! Well maintained, clean, and so many little details have been thought of and taken care of for you. And it’s literally only 4 minutes from town. We were originally a little concerned that there’s another rental cottage across the driveway, but this was a total non issue. Both properties had plenty of privacy. If you need a place to stay in bayfield choose this one!!
