Pictures don’t do this home justice! It’s beautiful inside and out! We unfortunately didn’t have time for a fire, but did get to take advantage of the nice weather and sit out on the deck. Homeowner was easy to talk to and replied promptly. Only thing that could be considered kind of negative is that there isn’t any air conditioning downstairs but all bedrooms have a unit of some kind. Hoping to come back next summer!

Very comfortable, very homey! We would have liked to have facial tissues and more toilet paper in the bathrooms. The kitchen was lacking napkins, salt and a wire whisk. There was no hot water when we arrived. We appreciated that the owners responded immediately when we contacted them about it. We would most likely try to stay there again, the next time we are in the area.

Charm and character

The first thing we commented on was the very spacious living room with all of the beautiful windows. The space throughout the house was really nice and a little ups and down stairs added a quaint touch. We did have plenty of room to spread out which was great the nice big Back Fence yard was good for our dog and grandson

Family Vacation- 2nd Stay

The “Barron” is perfect for our family for the week of the 4th of July- we enjoyed Friendly Valley Beach, Cornucopia Beach, Little Girls Point at Saxon Harbor, Copper Falls State Park, Golfing, and The Oredock. Family breakfast and dinners and of course- Frankie’s Pizza! We topped it all off with the festivities of the 4th- the parade and a family reunion at the beach- The band shell for music and the fireworks! It was a Memory Maker for sure and this home is a perfect place for us to make it all happen!

Beautiful, historic home

We loved staying at “The Baron”. This historic home was a wonderful place for our family, which included six adults and two toddlers, to stay for our vacation to Lake Superior and the Apostle Islands. It is spacious and we had plenty of room to cook, dine and play games together. The bedrooms are quaint, and we having the fenced yard to hang out in was great. Mary was an amazing host! She was easy to communicate with and always immediately responded when we had any questions. We had a great time, and would love to return in the future.

Loved this house!

Highly recommend staying here. Large fenced in yard to play in, too. Had everything we needed in kitchen. House itself is beautiful with panoramic windows. Beds were comfortable, quiet neighborhood, within walking distance to Lake Superior and downtown. The only thing I would change is the locking system on the doors. The kitchen door locked on us 3 times without us turning anything. Thankfully we put the spare key outside to get back in. Overall this was a fantastic place to stay!

Welcome Home

We had a wonderful stay at the Stately Home. It was very comfortable with a lot of space for my family (6 adults). It provided everything we wanted, spacious kitchen, dining room, huge living room & comfortable bedrooms. Visiting in the winter we didn’t have the opportunity to enjoy the deck & backyard, but are looking forward to staying at the Stately for our 2025 holiday getaway.

Perfect Summer Family Vacation Spot

The house is a beautiful old home that has a combination of old charm and modern conveniences. The interior was very comfortable and the backyard was great for a family cookout and volleyball game. The location is in a wonderful small town close to many activities. We picked blueberries, went to the County Fair, hiked Houghton Falls, saw a show at the Big Top, disc golfed in Ashland, took a ferry to Madeline Island, spent afternoons on the beach with the unbelievably clear water of Lake Superior and enjoyed the shops and restaurants in Bayfield. Mary was responsive and helpful when we had questions.

Fabulous HUGE house!

We absolutely loved staying here! The house is even more beautiful than the pictures, with hardwood floors, high ceilings, and a wonderful great room with a working, cozy fireplace stocked with wood. There was plenty of room for 3 couples and two singletons. Kitchen is well-stocked, and Mary was a dream to work with. Although we came to ski, Houghton Falls hiking trail, South Shore Brewery, and The Snug with live music were all minutes away. Oh yeah, and that one lake. Yard is fenced in for our dogs! What a bonus! Couldn't ask for a better place to stay.

Nice Experience!

The house worked well for our "Core Four" family: Mom, Dad, and two adult daughters. Each of us had our own space, and the dining room was a lovely place to have a couple of family meals. We especially loved the outdoor fireplace area where we roasted hot dogs, made s'mores, and had a singalong around the fire. Our border collie loved the big yard!
