What more do you need - a beautiful property with great views and a perfect location? It was great to visit with Jack (the owner) but he also knew to give us our space and privacy. Highly recommend this property.
Clean and comfortable. Very well appointed. The location is perfect for getting around in Bayfield. Jack is very welcoming and has a great sense of humor. I would definitely book this property again.

Great place to stay
Great place to stay, very accommodating hosts, thank you Apostle Islands rentals!
Great place with huge spaces. The bed was reallllly comfortable and the bathroom was large and super nice. Jack was an Amazing host and individual. We would have loved to stay an additional night but it was booked. Highly Recommend!
The main room and the bathroom were very large! Comfy bed and sofa, great common spaces. We could walk everywhere we wanted to go. Jack, our host, was super friendly, helpful and all around great. We’d definitely recommend staying here!!!
Spacious, clean room and bathroom. Private deck to overlook town of Bayfield and Lake Superior. Self-serve breakfast. Short walking distance to docks, museums, shops and restaurants.
Pilot House was walking distance from most everything we did while in Bayfield. The B & B was very clean and had everything we needed. Jack is quite the character, we loved his sense of humor. Very pleasant experience!!

Wonderful stay!
Very much enjoyed our stay at the Pilot House. The accommodations were extremely clean and Jack was a fantastic, fun host!!
We had a fantastic stay at the Pilot House. Wonderful views of Lake Superior, within walking distance of the lake and downtown and many restaurants. The hosts were wonderful, friendly, welcoming, and shared great tips about the area. The common area was superb. We had the fortunate happenstance of being the only ones renting during our stay b/c it was after the summer season and during the week. We shared the Admirals Quarters between three of us and there was plenty of room.Check-in was very easy and communication during the reservation process was prompt and clear. I would HIGHLY recommend this stay and we look forward to another stay at some time in the future.
My two Sons and I had a wonderful stay. It was quiet, clean, well appointed, and perfectly located just a few blocks from downtown - but still high on the hill with beautiful views.
Beautiful harbor view and Jack the host was very pleasant and helpful. I was in the Admirals Suite which was very spacious with a mini-fridge, AC, fan, and comfortable bed, along with additional amenities. Very short walk to downtown Bayfield and the ferry to Madelyn Island. Had a great stay! It wasn't an issue for me, but for those who are sensitive to morning light there is a skylight that does not have a shade.
We stayed in Bayfield, Wisconsin for a few days in the autumn. The B&B was very comfortable and Admiral Quarters room was an excellent place to stay for our visit. The bed was very comfortable. Jack and Marie were excellent hosts.
