Property as described along with well stocked kitchen utensils/etc. Very convenient to lakefront as well as casual walk to town. Use of the bicycles and paddle board appreciated as well as the games downstairs. Great for a family get away.
Lazy Layover is a great space for the whole family. Lots to do in the area.

A fabulous retreat
A perfect spot for a weekend getaway. We loved the sauna, there was tons of space, the games room was incredible, and it was super close to the beach and the shops. Beds and linens were very comfortable and any questions were answered quickly.
Everyone loved staying here. A nice big kitchen, lots of sleeping areas, great games area inside and out, as well as walking distance to any areas downtown and the beach. Perfect set up for family or friends:)
The home was so well equipped and clean. The kitchen had everything you needed to make a wonderful meal. Including a beer can chicken holder! It was a really wonderful, comfortable stay. We all loved it. Thank you.

A great time was had by everyone!
Lakeside Layover was a perfect fit for our family. It was beautifully furnished and very clean. Everything that we needed was provided. Lots of space for together time as well as time apart. Everyone enjoyed playing pickle ball, basketball, pingpong. Location was excellent; walking distance to beach and main street of Bayfield. We enjoyed campfires every night. The dogs enjoyed fetching in the water, and playing in the yard.
Our sincere thanks to Jennifer, Lea, and Shauna! They were extremely helpful in providing all of the necessary details, as well as answering our questions.
The only reason we gave it 4 stars was because of the master tub/shower; the tub was narrow, and had no handles to safely shower as well as enter and exit tub.
