    The Pilot House is a great place to stay!

    We spent four nights here and found it very comfortable and enjoyable. Close to everything in downtown Bayfield - we could easily walk to all of the restaurants and shops, as well as the Apostle Islands Cruises and the ferry to Madeline Island. The hosts were very friendly and readily available if anything was needed. We would definitely stay here again!

    The property was a great place to enjoy Bayfield! The lake view out of the crow’s nest was special! Inside was well cared for and clean! It’s not a large room, but has a large bath that helps it feel larger.

    We had an amazing time at the Pilot House! Having some breakfast options in the morning and coffee and goodies was definitely a plus. We also enjoyed the Crow's Nest with the jacuzzi which was perfect after hiking to the Sea Caves at Meyer Beach. Thanks so much Jack for your hospitality and sending back the clothes I left behind!

    We had a very nice time in Bayfield. We went to the Chataqua concert and took the grand tour of the Apostle Islands. The Crows Nest where we stayed was very nice. It would have been nice if there had been a few less steps to get to it, but it was nice. It had what we needed. It was clean and quiet and had a nice view of the town below.

    The property is close to everything you need in Bayfield. As long as you do not have mobility issues, you are able to walk to the downtown area fairly easily. The house is beautiful and clean. We had access to a light breakfast of muffins, yogurt and juice with coffee access in our room.
