Amazing little place in the heart of town

Loved this place. Literally right in the heart of Bayfield, it’s only a block or two walk to just about everything you would want to see and do. Cozy and simple little home that makes a great stay for a smaller group.

Wonderful place to stay!

Location is perfect; so close to everything. Inside was spotless and so comfortably and beautifully decorated. 5 of us for a "girls night out"--the living area was a wonderful gathering place; it was a bit cool to use the deck. Beds quite comfortable; one of us slept on the couch and one brought an air mattress so that we'd have enough sleeping spots. Worked well. Would stay here again and would highly recommend.

Great, centrally located home

Our family rented both the Bodin units for one night and really loved the house and location. It was just a short walk to restaurants and shops, and the home was so comfortable. The pictures don’t do it justice! Booking and check-in were easy and the hosts were very accommodating and quick to respond. We’ll definitely book again if we get back to Bayfield.
