About this property

Waterfront guesthouse at cliff's edge of Lake Superior's South Shore, Sky Fire.

Relax with expansive views of Lake Superior as you bask in the glow of the wood fireplace's radiance. Waves echoing off the brownstone cliff upon which this special home is perched, absorb the splendor of bald and golden eagles soaring only feet away.

Minutes from your nest is Meyer's Beach, the common entry point to begin your kayak or hiking excursion to the sea and ice caves of this, the greatest of all lakes. Bike, hiking, motorsports, class one trout fishing, waterfalls and XC ski trails abound.

The entire, two bedroom home that is Sky Fire is your private oasis away from home.

Seasonally, bathe in warm sunlight while relaxing in the south facing, enclosed front porch. Enjoy sitting around the fire pit in the front yard as you soak up the beauty of Lake Superior a stone's throw away. Your wonderful day having turned to night, the dark, amazingly starry sky over Lake Superior may grace the night owl with a show of the magically colorful northern lights. Well behaved, non-destructive, potty-trained dogs are welcome.

Snowmobile and ATV trails/routes are nearby. The area also has world class, well maintained fat tire bike trails that are groomed for winter riding. Wanna mush your own sled team of dogs? That's available nearby as well.

Indoors fun and gaming more your speed? Just short of Bayfield, nearby "Legendary Water's and Casino," awaits your arrival.

A peaceful, 1.3 mile walk from the home will have you stepping foot onto a glorious sandy swimming beach. With Lake Superior literally lapping at your feet, this beach stretches over a mile to the quaint town of Cornucopia where you'll find the marina, coffee shop, restaurant/bar, art and the, "It has everything" general store that is *Ehler's.

A 23 mile drive into Bayfield, WI will take you to a charming community serving tourist and locals alike, all of whom have an affinity for the allure of the nearby Apostle Islands that await your visit. Just a short ferry ride away, quaint Madeline Island is yours to explore and enjoy.

*Ehler's closes for the winter season

Wonderful home. Beautiful view. Super quiet. Loved that we could bring our dog. Would definitely recommend. It is a guest house connected to another home but no one but us was there. If privacy is important just check the other side of home will be vacant during your stay.

Great hosts, great house, and What a View
If you are a fan or groupie of Lake Superior, cinsider Sky Fire, It is clean and has a very well provided house with everything you need to enjoy the Lake including a spectacular view from the cliff in the yard, It was perfect for us. We were two people and a dog. I particularly like thar the location is away from Bayfield. So it is quiet and peaceful.

This from my sister, Gail Trowbridge. I was ill and unable to come. Property was completely open including windows. Garage was open. Lots of trash scattered about yard (animals?). Mice in kitchen. Kind of creepy goat artwork, but that’s personal taste.

Great location for hikes and relaxing
Seamless check-in, great e-communication with host including some great tips for area. Place is very clean and as shown in photos. Before booking, I was a little hesitant because it is a guest house (attached to main house). But other residents were not seen or heard, very respectful of privacy. Would stay again .

charming home with wonderful view
Had some serious hiccups with gaining information for check-in, but after we did, all was well. Owner was helpful throughout the stay and even allowed another couple to visit for a few nights of our two week stay. This is such a nice home in a lovely area. We enjoyed both an indoor fire and an outdoor fire. Twice we visited Siskiwit River Falls; we enjoyed the hike so much. If staying in the area, I recommend this beautiful home!

Great getaway
This is a lovely place to get away and unplug. The house is well-kept and nicely appointed. We didn't find ourselves lacking anything we expected. The view of the lake is fantastic, with glorious sunsets. The only downside is that there were a lot of mosquitos (early July). Be prepared with several types of insect repellant.

Very comfortable house! Lots of tools and supplies in the kitchen. Nice set up! Lots of windows for great view of Lake Superior! Screens on every window and fans for super cross ventilation. Not far from touristy stuff but nice space away in the Northwoods.

Winter Wonderland
This was a much needed getaway that turned into a late winter wonderland. We received ~12 inches of snow during our stay, which kept up mainly inside. The guesthouse provided us with spectacular views and was warm and comfortable. The games and puzzles provided helped to keep us entertained. The few times we were out walking the dogs the entire area was peaceful and serene. Communication about the impending weather and snow removal was excellent. We would love to go back there again.

Comfortable and quiet
My husband, son and I spent a long weekend relaxing, hiking, and enjoying the view. The cabin was clean and well stocked. Erin communicated well and even made sure we had an instapot for our chili. Despite the rain and lack of winter snow, we still found plenty of beaches and trails to explore nearby.

AWESOME!
You walk into the cabin and there "she", Lake Superior, is in all her glory. We had spectacular views of Lake Superior and could see all the way to Minnesota. The only bad thing about the cabin was the furniture was dirty and full of dog hair. The furniture was also very uncomfortable. Other than that, we had a good time.
