Apostle Is.'s gateway/next scenic marinas/fireplace/jacuzzi/corner w 4 windows
I call it a 'Honeymoon' condo due to the feel to me with the fireplace and jet tub. It is simple with everything you need if you are not planning to need a stove. We offer an efficiency kitchenette, see amenities.
Our 2nd floor ( stairs only ) condo includes lots of natural light being a corner unit with 4 windows on 3 of 4 walls. This provides an airy feeling and the option for lots of fresh air in our condo including cross breeze.
Our property is tucked in the woods just down the road ( a stones throw or a short block) from the Port Superior marina which provides the pool and a gorgeous view of Chequamegon Bay of Lake Superior which is right at the entrance of the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore.
This unit is perfect for a romantic getaway which we have decorated with a nautical feel. You will find a variety of options for Outdoor enthusiasts will have many activities to choose from.
In the photos, I provide a photo of the lake. This is a lake view from Port Superior Marina which is next door. This is not a view from our condo. Our condo is tucked in a heavily wooded area 3 miles S of downtown Bayfield. We are near ( near defined as next door up to 2 miles ) the following : Adventure Club Brewery, mt biking trails, Brownstone hiking trail, downhill ski lifts, Big Top music venue, Big Top shuttle pickup @Port Superior marina, Portside marina, Portside restaurant, Pikes Bay marina, golf course with One of if not the best of you in the area, and The Famous/Unique fruit loop which is 13 orchards all up hill from the lake. They offer a variety of fruits to be picked or purchased, unique gift ideas, homemade canning goods, winery, brewery, and And unforgettable experience.
There a variety of inside tourist options as well such as shopping, museums, ferry to Madeline island, island tours, kayak tours, breweries & much more. Enjoy all the beauty of Bayfield Wi, on Lake Superior. This is a charming town, which was rated #2 in the nation for coastal towns which provides many options for a variety of interest.
We are located near Big Top music venue. If you are in Bayfield for this outdoor tent concert up on the hill, then this is an awesome location for you. We are close at about 1-2 miles since the venue is on the S. side of town as we are. There is a Big Top shuttle van to conveniently transport you to and from with service to the front door. We love to take advantage of this service. They have a pickup spot next door to the condo with a schedule on line.
Our rental includes access to the outdoor pool next door at Port Superior Marina with a beautiful view of the Marina and Bay. There is a cute shortcut by walking away from the condos toward the dumpsters, continuing until you see a path on your left, take the path, crossing the little bridge, then walking down the road to your left. This pool is a little further down the road at the marina and can be found behind the restaurant which is a delightful place to eat with charming atmosphere and beautiful balcony overlooking the pool and bay.
There is a trail which is 2.5 miles long which runs along Lake Superior from above Pikes Bay marina to downtown next to Blackhawk marina. This so very scenic and enjoyable. It ranges from easy to fairly easy in use. You are allowed to walk or bike ( no motorized vehicles ). It's truly a treat with a variety of terrains, a gorge, historic markers and ... 2 Marinas ( Pikes Bay & Port Superior ) are a stones throw from our condo at Brookside. You can walk 1/2 down the driveway, cross the bridge, take a left, walk to Port Superior marina, take another left to Pikes Bay, then up Pikes Bay driveway ( steep hill ), turn into the middle condo driveway to your right, follow along about a block to the trail head marked, 'Brownstone' trail. It'll be about 3 miles total from the condo doorstep to the Bayfield downtown. I love it so much that I'd like everyone to know it's available.
Winter: This off season is much quieter. It is actually one of my favorite times of the year to spend in Bayfield. The community offers a wide variety of sports and activities. I will include these in the list of my recommended things to do in the winter.

Very easy to make a reservation, room was as stated (clean, updated, and comfortable). Minutes away from downtown, restaurants and Bayfield Marina but still in a wooded area away from the traffic. Whirlpool was a pleasant addition and relaxing. Would love to stay there again, if in the area.

About the host
Hosted by Lisa Wilcox
I love sharing the beauty and experience of the Bayfield/Apostle Islands. It's incredibly rewarding to hear from our guests about their amazing memories.
Why they chose this property
I adore Lake Superior. The views take my breath away. The area is just magical to experience. Bayfield is the gateway to the Apostle Islands which are an experience which I wish everyone to enjoy. The wide variety of trail systems and outdoor sports is impressive. The nature opportunities leave a person feeling emotionally and physically fulfilled.
What makes this property unique
The natural light of being an end unit condo with 4 windows on 3 sides of the condo. This also provides an enjoyable cross breeze option in the appropriate season.
The ambiance of the fireplace is so inviting. I turn it on 1st thing when I enter. ( the fireplace also offers the option of a no heat )
In addition, the jetted jacuzzi tub is always a treat. This is an exceptional option after an active day or a leisurely way to start the day with a cup of coffee. We are a short walk across the bridge from the premier marina, Port Superior. This offers a scenic view of Chequamegon Bay Lake Superior from their restaurant with outdoor deck seating.
We love our proximity to the Big Top Chautauqua venue which hosts live music by international touring musicians in the summer season. This all-canvas tent venue is hillside, rustic, unique, and offers an intimate 900 seat outdoor venue. They offer a downhill ski recreational area in the winter season. It is quite convenient that a shuttle to Big Top is complimentary from Port Superior Marina which is next door to our marina.
The mountain biking scenic CAMBA trail system is a 3-5 min drive. This offers variety of level trails with absolutely stunning breath taking views. This includes groomed winter fat biking.
