WELCOME GUESTS!

The Brickyard Creek Cottages (BYC) is an environmental ​community of private residences​ with a small percentage of privately owned rental cottages. Individual owners and families come to enjoy the natural setting and quiet privacy of their cabin in the woods. ​BYC’s community rental policies below:​

COTTAGE PRIVACY:​ ​Join us in enjoying the natural setting: forest trails, creek, and over 70 acres of Bayfield Boreal Forest. Honor the privacy of residents and other guests—o​nly use designated nature trails or roads to explore the area. The areas along the lake are privately owned and are not part of the BYC community land. Please respect our neighbors!

QUIET ESCAPE IN THE WOODS:​
S​ounds carry through the woods. Keep Brickyard Creek a `tranquil nature escape` for everyone by refraining from loud music and excessive porch noise. Community​ quiet hours ​are enforced daily between 1​0pm and 8am.​

HEALTH DEPARTMENT LIMITS:​
E​ach cottage is approved by the Bayfield County Health Department to accommodate a maximum number of guests deemed appropriate to the cottage style.​ All guests must be registered. Adding guests after registration is strictly prohibited. The local health code is regulated and monitored.

COMMUNITY BEACH:​
Enjoy the community`s private beach and covered picnic area as you look out at the Apostle Islands. Be safe; absolutely no climbing on the rock wall. The jagged boulders are unstable and shifting daily. The marina land, docks, furniture, and clubhouse adjacent to the community beach are for paid m​arina members only​. There is ​no public bathroom​ available at the lakefront​. The parking spaces at Roy`s Point Marina are for boaters renting the marina slips ​only​. Please walk, using either the trail or road system, when visiting the beach.

PARKING:​
Guests are allotted space for ​two cars or motorcycles​ at each rental cottage. N​o RV, boat, or trailer parking is allowed at cabins.​ Parking for excess cars and alternative vehicles is available for a small nightly fee adjacent to the marina. ​Contact Roy`s Point Marina to reserve space in advance of your arrival​.

CAMPFIRES:​
Enjoy the community fire pit located near the beach by the gazebo. There is usually firewood available​. DO NOT pick up wood on the common grounds, private lots, or along the trails. Be alert to wind and weather conditions. Fast-moving embers easily burn holes in sails of boats at the marina or start forest fires. Please be careful not to build roaring fires. Do not leave fires unattended and ensure they are fully extinguished​ when leaving the area. ​Fires are not permitted anywhere else on BYC properties.

GRILLS:​
P​ropane or electric grills are available at most properties for guest use. Guests shall be required to clean grills after use. Failure to do so will result in a $​25 fee.

G​arbage and recycling dumpsters are located just past the intersection of Roy`s Point Boulevard and Brickyard Creek Road​. Please `free your recyclables` by placing them directly in the dedicated dumpster or use a paper bag. We are charged an added fee for every plastic bag found in our recycling dumpster. Thank you for your efforts. ​Every little bit counts!

CHILDREN & FAMILIES:​ ​
The love of the environment starts in childhood. Kids are always welcome!​ Please ​provide adult supervision to ensure their safety​ and the solitude of the other guests and residents.

TWENTY IS PLENTY:​ ​
The roads in Brickyard Creek are considered part of the trail system. For the safety of all pedestrians, ​drive 20 mph or less​. Particularly watch for children whose enthusiasm may cause them to outpace their adult supervisors.

NATIVE TREES & FLORA:​
Brickyard cottages are `of the land, not on the land.` During construction, very few trees and natural plants were disturbed. We ask you to be cautious of marked `nature rehabilitation` areas​, and please don`t pick wildflowers.
