BILLOWS BARGE BAY; IF IT'S BEACH, PRIVACY AND VIEWS THIS IS ONE OF THE ISLANDS BEST SPOTS; OUR GUESTS HAVE BEEN RETURNING FOR GENERATIONS!!!!
This cozy fishermans cottage is on the South East coast, on a pristine miles long sandy beach once lined with the docks, fishing tugs, boat hoists and modest homes of the families that once lived here and the final off shore resting place of the wreck of the islands dredger barge the Finn McCool, hence the area name Barge Bay.
This cozy cottage is nestled under the shade of a ancient beach oak and is the idyllic spot to stroll the beach, build sand castles, skip rocks, collect driftwood, enjoy picnic’s and set around a glowing beach fire with your family and friends at days end.
The quaint fishermen’s style cottage tucked away in a very private setting is just 20 minutes from the village and a stroll to the soft sands and sea caves of Big Bay Park.
The cottage features a snug lake vista living room is a perfect retreat to snooze and enjoy the stack of summer beach books. Or gather on the deck for coffee and evening beverages while stirring up your favorite BBQ grill creation.
The village offers all the essential vacation amenities, casual to gourmet dining, gossipy watering holes, movies and books at the library, public tennis courts, challenging golf,
There are numerous arts and crafts and activities for children and young adults, shopping and lunch in nearby Bayfield or attend an unforgettable performance at the Great Chautauqua. Rent a moped, bike, hike or roller blade the quaint island roads. Or kayak the many Bays surrounding the Island or hop a cruise boat and visit the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore Park and historic lighthouses. Or just lie back in the hammock or lounge chairs on the beach and soak up the beauty and serenity of endless panoramic vistas of the sparkling blue waters of Lake Superior and if your lucky a shimmering moon rise. Many of our guests have been returning for several generations and we think once you experience Barge Bay you to will remember it forever.
