Beautiful, cozy, really well-designed space. Quiet, calm and modern. We loved our stay at The Acorn. It was the perfect getaway spot with everything we needed to settle in and cozy up after easy access to hiking the day away or shopping and enjoying the restaurants of Bayfield. Check in and out couldn’t have been easier and Kristin was so on top of all communications. Wonderful experience all-around!

Came here for a 3 night stay in September and it was perfect getaway for my husband and I. The only very minor negative is that it is a little dark in the bathroom to get ready, but that is it I still made it work. Would highly recommend staying here it's not far from Bayfield and extremely peaceful. The host also communicated very well as needed. We will definitely be back to The Acorn :)

I can’t say enough how great this cabin is. The location is perfectly secluded. The inside is beautiful and SO comfortable. (I’m ordering the mattress they have on the main floor…it was wonderful!) Communication was super easy. I would definitely go back.

This place was such a gem! A private, little luxury escape in the woods. This cabin has everything you need and is extremely clean and modern. The Wood stove made it very cozy. It's easy to get to, Kristin is a fabulous host with great communication, the place is well stocked and spacious. It was a romantic get away for us, but could be a fun girls trip or family place too! We absolutely love it and want to come back in the summer too.
A beautiful winter wonderland and close to hiking, Apostle Island and Bayfield. Great location!

My husband and I rented this house for the Fourth of July weekend and had a wonderful stay. We brought our pet, Martin, along with us, and the home was very welcoming.The house was spotless, beautifully maintained, and impressively smart. As Generation X renters, figuring out all the smart-home features was a bit of a learning experience, but it added to the uniqueness of the stay.If I had to mention one small downside, it would be the lack of tables for those who enjoy cooking and spending time outside while barbecuing or having a meal inside with another coupleOther than that, everything was top-notch. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this property.
