Sunshine House is lovely. It is close enough to walk to town if you want to do that. The kitchen is well equipped. There was plenty of room for three of us to spread out and make ourselves at home. We all really enjoyed our stayed there. Bayfield, Madeline Island, and Cornucopia were wonderful places to explore and Sunshine House was the perfect place to land at the end of the day.

Our family had a wonderful visit to Bayfield for my niece’s wedding. The Sunshine house was very close to downtown amenities and was everything we needed for a long weekend. Easy to get to and plenty of room for four adults. Thank you Erin!

Good location. I walked to town in the morning to grab a coffee and check out the downtown area. Note, it is steep on the way back. Having a fire pit with provided wood and newspaper was a plus. We used it each night. Loved the porch swing. We did not have an issue with it not having AC. Just opened the windows and used the provided fans. Communication was great. Would recommend! Went to Hoops for fish and chips! YUM! Bonus, live music! Visited Madeline Island. Did not take a car, but rented a bike to visit Big Bay State Park on the island. For the price of renting a bike it is cheaper to take your car on the ferry.

Thanks for the five-star rating! Glad Sunshine House was in a great location and that you enjoyed walking to town (steep walk back noted). Happy the fire pit with wood and newspaper, porch swing, and provided fans made your stay comfortable. Glad communication went well and that you enjoyed Hoops, the live music, and your trip to Madeline Island. Appreciate the recommendation—hope to welcome you back to Bark Point Ventures—take care until next time!

Could not have been a better overall experience from initial inquiry to booking, from arrival to departure - communication with host was prompt and appropriate. Property clean and nicely appointed. Home close to area attractions, and host recommendations helpful. Thoroughly enjoyed our time in Bayfield.

This is such a cute and cozy place to stay with plenty of space to move around in. The outdoor fire pit was a nice touch. Erin checked in on us making sure that we had everything we needed. And when we locked ourselves out of the house, she came to our rescue. Highly recommended.

We enjoyed the privacy of the property and the convenience to the location getting to downtown Bayfield. The backyard was pretty and we enjoyed hearing birds and woodpeckers while sitting at the bonfire. We appreciated the kind communication. There were also fun games inside- my boys liked the Tetris game ;)

Perfect for family weekend

Nice cozy home worked well for our family of four for our long weekend stay. Location was private with plenty of space for easy parking and campfires. It is walkable to downtown but would be all uphill on the way back so we chose to drive. We couldn't see the lake through the trees from the home during our summer stay, but other times of year when there isn't full foliage you could. Our kids loved the front porch swing and hammock in the woods! Overall we were very happy with the Sunshine House!
