Harborside Condo | Bayfield Lake Superior

You cannot do better in Bayfield in terms of location, quality, comfort, and range of amenities than the Ada O'Day Condos! Your rental is a block from the ferry, two blocks from the lake, and an easy walk to everything in Bayfield. This 1 bed, 2 bath condo has it all: open-plan living & dining with a fully-outfitted kitchen. Add in lake views from the living room, gas fireplace, outdoor patio & you have the perfect place to come home to after a day exploring all the area has to offer.

Your host runs Bark Point Ventures, a vacation rental management & concierge company that specializes in properties all along Lake Superior's South Shore. We live nearby and are available whenever needed to assist our guests. Our passion is ensuring guests experience the magic of what we feel is one of the most amazing places in the world.

The Ada O'Day condos gets you right into the heart of things in Bayfield. You’re within walking distance of everything in town, so why not spend a day exploring all the shops and galleries Bayfield has to offer—plus a stop or two to sample great food and drink, naturally. And don’t forget everything there is to see from the balcony: your view out towards Madeline Island is good all year long.

Winter - If you’re into skiing, Mount Ashwabay (just ten minutes from the condo) is the top destination in the area for both downhill and Nordic. On snowshoes, check out the Ravine Trail (it’s right on the edge of town) or the Jerry Jolly trails, just a few minutes’ drive from the condo. Bayfield is also a great home base for a winter drive through the snowy fields and silent woods of the Bayfield Peninsula

Madeline Island is a great place to go in the winter: between the ferry, the wind sled, and the ice road, you can get out there all season long, and it’s just as beautiful with snow and ice as you imagine.

While this may be one of the smaller of our units at Ada O'Day, it offers tons of luxury and comfort. This one bedroom, two bath ground floor condo makes you feel like you're walking into a cozy hug the moment you walk through the front door.

The living-dining-kitchen area is open plan and features every amenity you could hope for. The living room has a plush sofa, two upholstered lounge chairs, all of which are oriented to enjoy the gas fireplace. Windows run along the one wall, letting in ample light and offering a partial view of Lake Superior. The kitchen is stocked to handle whatever meal you want to prepare, with full-size appliances, ample utensils and cookware, and even a dishwasher. The dining table seats four. And if you wish to dine alfresco, you can enjoy your own patio just outside the unit!

The bedroom has a very comfy queen bed and a fantastic en suite bathroom, complete with a tub (nothing is better than a hot bath after a long day walking around Bayfield!). You'll also find a second bathroom with a walk-in shower. A unique feature of this condo is the separate office area with a built-in desk and comfortable desk chair. If you gotta work a bit while on vacation, you'll love this space!
