    My friends and I had the most wonderful girls weekend here! It was so neat and clean, there were labels and thoughtful instructions for everything, and even when we got locked out at 10 PM, we were able to call and get immediate assistance! Lots of windows and natural light, with views of the beautiful winter forest surrounding the property. Just a short drive to Bayfield, and we were able to pick up wine and ingredients for a yummy charcuterie board to go with the adorable complimentary jam we were welcomed with! Thank you so much for our magical stay!

    This was an amazing place to stay! So comfy, close enough to do whatever you wanted to in town, but far enough away to have some privacy. We loved every aspect of staying here. The owners really put a lot of thought and care into what experience they wanted for their customers. Would definitely stay here again.

    This was a perfect location for our family. It is close to Bayfield and not too far from Cornucopia (where the company we selected for a kayak was located) or Meyers Beach (kayak launch and hiking). The host left great instructions and the property was clean and had everything we needed.

The location is great as it's close to the ferry to Madeline and all the Apostle Islands has to offer. Definitely recommend. Also, the unit was spotless which I really appreciate and they even gifted a jar of local jam upon arrival. Thank you!

    Bayfield Visit

    The location was a few miles from Bayfield making it very convenient but allowing for privacy and relaxation from the busy town life. It was also an easy drive to the other side of the peninsula. Although the property is shared by another cabin the drive is large enough that it still felt like its own place. The beds were comfortable and the house was stocked with more than I ever realized. It was very nice to have so much included and not need to pack as much for the trip!

    Cozy cabin in the woods

    Loved the outdoor fire pit. Cabin was very clean cute and comfortable. Lots of nice amenities. Beds and pillows were comfortable. Property manager quickly responded to questions. Location was secluded but close to town. There were others staying at the other cabin, didn’t bother us. We were in and out of the place each day. Large fridge and nice toaster oven. Small stove top made it tricky to make a meal needing both burners.

    A must stay!

    This property was so beautiful! Well maintained, clean, and so many little details have been thought of and taken care of for you. And it’s literally only 4 minutes from town. We were originally a little concerned that there’s another rental cottage across the driveway, but this was a total non issue. Both properties had plenty of privacy. If you need a place to stay in bayfield choose this one!!
