Cozy cottage in the woods

We loved our stay! Our hosts were very communicative and the place is just as it looks in the pictures. Very close to town but it feels like you're miles away from the rest of the world. It has everything you need for a great stay. You won't be disappointed in the least!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!!

As a solo woman traveler this was my paradise. It was isolated enough to give me the space and connection to nature I desired, but also felt really safe. The motion sensor flood light, external camera, and new locks and windows helped me to feel really secure. This property was so sweet and tidy and tucked away in the woods of Wisconsin. It had everything I needed while I was visiting! It’s also super close to downtown - the ferry, restaurants and beach. It’s only a short drive from many hiking routes, wineries and cideries. I can’t wait to go back again!
