About this property
Waterfront guesthouse at cliff's edge of Lake Superior's South Shore, Sky Fire.
Relax with expansive views of Lake Superior as you bask in the glow of the wood fireplace's radiance. Waves echoing off the brownstone cliff upon which this special home is perched, absorb the splendor of bald and golden eagles soaring only feet away.
Minutes from your nest is Meyer's Beach, the common entry point to begin your kayak or hiking excursion to the sea and ice caves of this, the greatest of all lakes. Bike, hiking, motorsports, class one trout fishing, waterfalls and XC ski trails abound.
*The entire, two bedroom home that is Sky Fire is your private oasis away from home.
Seasonally, bathe in warm sunlight while relaxing in the south facing, enclosed front porch. Enjoy sitting around the fire pit in the front yard as you soak up the beauty of Lake Superior a stone's throw away. Your wonderful day having turned to night, the dark, amazingly starry sky over Lake Superior may grace the night owl with a show of the magically colorful northern lights. Well behaved, non-destructive, potty-trained dogs are welcome.
Snowmobile and ATV trails/routes are nearby. The area also has world class, well maintained fat tire bike trails that are groomed for winter riding. Wanna mush your own sled team of dogs? That's available nearby as well.
Indoors fun and gaming more your speed? Just short of Bayfield, nearby "Legendary Water's and Casino," awaits your arrival.
A peaceful, 1.3 mile walk from the home will have you stepping foot onto a glorious sandy swimming beach. With Lake Superior literally lapping at your feet, this beach stretches over a mile to the quaint town of Cornucopia where you'll find the marina, coffee shop, restaurant/bar, art and the, "It has everything" general store that is *Ehler's.
A 23 mile drive into Bayfield, WI will take you to a charming community serving tourist and locals alike, all of whom have an affinity for the allure of the nearby Apostle Islands that await your visit. Just a short ferry ride away, quaint Madeline Island is yours to explore and enjoy.
*Ehler's closes for the winter season *Sky Fire is a fully self-contained home attached to the owner's home by way of a common three season porch.

The view, the walks, nearby hikes and beaches, fireplace, and comfortable home allowed for a delightful family get away with our pups. Beautiful home and location.
Our family (including teenager, pre-teen and fur baby) had a lovely time. The hosts were responsive and helpful. The house had a nice selection of games that had something for everyone. The setup was thoughtful for those of us traveling with a dog and we appreciated the home’s proximity to so many outdoor hikes! We especially enjoyed Hidden Falls. We were hoping for Aurora views, but the Solar forecast and local forecast were not in our favor this time. Thank you for a lovely stay!
Sky Fire is an awesome place to stay! The kitchen is so well stocked with high quality cookware and even a gas range. The decor is classy and comfortable. Very clean place! The best thing is our black Labrador was welcome there. Thank you for the wonderful stay!
The place was awesome! The hosts were friendly and helpful working through a wi-fi/electrical outage issue and are clearly very passionate about the area! Nothing beats a fire and watching shooting stars. Comfy, clean, had everything we needed and more.
We had our golden retriever with us and two grandchildren and both of our kids. We have a thing for Lake Superior! This was front and center! Easy to get to the big top and Bayfield and hiking trails! It is a gem!
Comfy, cozy and clean. Sky Fire was a beautiful home base that gave us easy access to the Corny, Herbster and Bayfield areas. We explored local shops, enjoyed great meals and some of the best blueberry picking. We explored beaches and hunted for yooperlite, experienced the brightest rainbow of our lives and still had plenty of down time to read, talk and recharge.
Very comfortable home and setting. Outside space was great for the dogs, and we loved having the washer and dryer! Easy access to Cornucopia. Beautiful views - just sorry it wasn’t at lake level.
The pictures don't do this place justice! A beautiful home with an amazing view. We had such a wonderful time exploring the Apostle Islands and the Bayfield/Cornucopia area, and this was a great place to make our home base. The host was kind and enjoyable to visit with.
We had a wonderful time at this rental. With 2 adults and 3 kids and a dog, we had everything we needed plus more! Amazing view of Lake Superior, hammock, fire pit, kid friendly ace throwing, dog friendly, close to everything but tucked away, private, wooded, absolutely gorgeous location. And the owners were really nice and helpful. We will be back!
Very pet friendly; loved the view of the lake; loved the proximity to the beach (which the dogs enjoyed as well); felt very safe & secure; great appliances & accessories which made meal prep easy; peaceful; close proximity to Bayfield. Will absolutely stay again!
Wonderful place! The kitchen had everything we needed. The space was beautiful and the check in and out was very easy. Only thing to note (and it was unusually when we were there) no air conditioning. This was fine for a couple of nights. The last night was really warm and hard to sleep. Other than that fantastic place!
