The Little Bodin

Cute two-bedroom upstairs rental unit with a small living area, centrally located within the heart of downtown Bayfield, close to all restaurants, shops, the beaches and the ferry line. NOTE: This property DOES NOT have a kitchen; it has a microwave, mini fridge and coffee maker. It is ideal for small groups who mostly want to be out exploring and who will eat out or be fine with bringing food back to microwave and eat. We DO NOT SUPPLY EATING UTENSILS OR PLATES.

Guests will have the full upstairs unit to themselves. It consists of a small living room, one full bath and two large bedrooms, each with its own full/queen bed and freestanding wardrobe. The bedrooms are spacious, but the living area is tiny and would fit 4 snugly. THERE IS NO KITCHEN. We want to stress that this rental unit is ideal for groups who mostly plan activities outdoors and come back to wind down before bedtime.

The downstairs is its own separate rental unit. As sound travels easily through the walls, we ask that all guests observe indoor voices and light feet. **Quiet Hours are 10PM to 8AM**

**We have a strict “no outdoor shoes inside” policy. The flooring is hard maple throughout with area rugs for comfort. Please consider bringing your own indoor slippers or nonskid socks for your stay.**

**Bedrooms: The two spacious bedrooms each have a freestanding wardrobe.

**Full bath: There is one full bath with shower over tub. Dove shampoo, conditioner and body wash are provided.

**Coffee: There is a Mr. Coffee 8-cup coffee maker with mugs. Folgers coffee is supplied.

**Roku TV: There is a 40" Roku TV in the living room.

**There is a mini fridge and microwave present. Please note there are NO PLATES OR UTENSILS available. Dawn dish soap and a small bottle cleaner are provided for washing coffee mugs.

Location was excellent, bedrooms were very large and nice sized bathroom. The only downside was that we could distinctly hear the voices of those below us. This did not occur late at night or early morning.

Lovely and perfectly located.

We stayed in this lovely house with cousins. Pao and Khou were prefect hosts, very responsive to our questions and needs. The location couldn't have been more perfect, within easy distance of everything in Bayfield that we wanted to see and do. We would recommend this house to anyone, and we'll certainly rent in the future when visiting again.

Great location. Each had our own bedroom

It was very cute,comfortable beds, and the location to everything in town was perfect. We never used the car the entire time we were there. The stairs could be a problem for older people, but us 55-70 year olds had no trouble 😊

Nice spot downtown Bayfield

Cute place right down town. The only amenities are a microwave, mini fridge and coffee maker. Be sure to bring plates and silverware if you plan to eat at the place as there isn't any aside from coffee mugs. There is a small sink to wash up dishes. Nice sized bedrooms and bathroom.

two suggestions for future guests - park on the street in front to unload and load. No kitchen and really not room to bring in carryout but the place was lovely and right in the middle of everything!

Comfortable and clean

Overall, very nice. Would definitely stay there again. They only down fall for us was the lack of a larger fridge/freezer. We were on route to a destination and had hoped to keep some food cold. We were able to easily get ice at local stores for our coolers. Everything else was perfect!!

Clean and cute but bare minimum provided.

I felt the Little Boden was an ok accommodation right in the middle of Bayfield. However, Its construction is older so you can hear everything that happens in the next unit. There was no drinking water supplied and no open stores open nearby at 10:00pm I kid you not, not even a gas station in a fifteen mile radius. There was no bedding for the sofa bed. No utensils, no Kleenex, nothing. I just expected some basics considering the extremely high price I paid to stay here.

After a full day of kayaking this was perfect for what we needed. Location was amazing and we even got to see live music by the water. It was nice to be steps away from the grocery store, coffee and many restaurant options. Place was decorated with a cosey feeling. We stayed only one night before heading to Madeline Island to to go camping, so having a comfy place to stay was sooo nice. It was like staying at a hotel but much more homey. The host was very helpful and responsive to our questions.

Very nicely renovated property. Very comfy beds. Everything was great.I was just puzzled why there were 3 queen beds and a sleeper sofa but only seating for 3 people in the living area. I owned rental property and worked construction my entire life. Seems like a poor utilization of the space.

1st… location could not be better.2nd…. Clean, extremely clean. 3rd…. Premium guaranteed parking at the unit. 4th…. The owners responded immediately to messages prior and were on site working in the yard. Beautiful people! Check-in was easy and totally secure. AC worked super great - it was a warm weekend and the unit was cool and comfortable. Could not hear folks in the lower unit AT ALL. Beds were comfortable. Unit was well equipped.Can’t express CLEAN enough!!!I fully and totally recommend.
Unit is right at the main intersection close to everything in Bayfield!
Directions to unit are well marked and instructions were precise.

No living room

Very clean was advertised 2 bdrm, but there was three one of which should be converted into living room. I was there with three adults and the only sitting area had just a love seat so we couldn't all sit and visit together the sitting area was combined with a very inefficient kitchen area had only microwave toadter mini fridge and coffee pot but no room or dishes to use in microwave. If they moved the living atea to one of the larger bedroom they could probably put in a counter. Drspite all the bedrooms only had seating for two

Clean, charming and perfectly positioned in town, within walking distance of everything we wanted to see and do. It was fine for my group of 3 but could easily accommodate 6. We weren't looking to cook, so the kitchenette was fine too. I would stay there again.

This place was perfect for a weekend getaway! The apartment was clean, the rooms were cozy, and everything was so close! We loved walking around and looking at shops and to the pier. The host had lots of suggestions for local hikes and activities which was really helpful. We can’t wait to come back!

Little Bodin stay

We stayed at Little Bodin to attend The Big Top. It couldn’t have been a more perfect location—1/2 block to the bus for the Big Top and to many eating and drinking places. Ferry to Madeline Island also close. It’s very compact but we had everything we needed (except cork screw). Beds and linens were great. It’s super maintained. Only criticism is the bath door needs to close properly.
