Our stay was amazing. We slept in the bed facing the water so we could wake up and see the beautiful view. The kitchen was very nice to have. The touch of having games to play since there is no wifi, was very nice. The host was easy to communicate with. One thing I wish it had was an easy way to get in the water. The host did say that they are currently renovating the dock, though.

We highly recommend this place! Clean and well-maintained; beautiful location! Very peaceful and serene. Our only issue was the lack of communication - when we arrived, the cleaning lady was there and was not expecting anyone to check in that day. Fortunately, she was able to get in touch with the property manager and we were able to clear up the misunderstanding. Had she not been there, we would have had no way to enter the property, since the host had not replied to our emails requesting check-in information.

The views from inside and relaxing on the porch seats are gorgeous, our daily 'visitors' of about 20 Canadian geese were a trip as was watching all the other wildlife, town was just the right distance away at under 15 minutes with an IGA for groceries and really good restaurants, our only neighbor was a sailboat marina a few acres away that has 6 boats and was very quiet the entire time we were there, and you absolutely cannot beat the quietness and seclusion of the house & property. The only activity on the water near us was seeing the charter boats a few times a day at a great distance going along and between the islands.Now why 4 vs. 5 stars? Because when we got to the house late the first night and went in, the construction of the house & porch, multiple rotten dock pieces needing replacement, and some windows not opening made us wonder what we got ourselves into. It took us until the morning to warm up to everything but were then good for the rest of the week.All in all, it was a wonderful and relaxing stay.

Breathtaking views

The property has the most amazing views and the house sits right at Lake Superiors waters edge. It was everything that they said it was and then some. Very cozy. All amenities that were listed were included. The lawn was well manicured and we did not see any rodents. We really enjoyed the place and appreciated the last minute approval. Had a wonderful time. Thank you

anniversary trip

The location is amazing - and would have been better if the grass had been recently cut - if there was an actual fire pit that was near the water without 6 foot weeds between the place to have a fire and the water - and again- if the grass was cut, you would feel better about walking around. - Mouse ate my cookies that were on the counter - I would place all food in the fridge.

Milky Way

We had a wonderful time at this little cottage on the lake. It's off the beaten path, simple and ultra-close to the water. We had breakfast on the old pier every morning and watched the stars at night. There's no TV and no WiFi but who needs it? Play some of the games and just decompress. I hope we'll come back sometime.

Wonderful stay!

Great beds! New kitchen. Amazing location! This property has a pier!! Which is very unusual on Lake Superior. The shore is rocky, but the lake floor is hard pan sand. So getting in and out of kayaks and or paddleboards is very easy. Some minor things we would like to see added - ladder out of the water. A smart tv. Ice trays!

Small but great location

The bathroom was very small, and the door did not close. Not enough seating in the living room. Four people in one bed room was tight. But the location made it worth it! We enjoyed our stay!

Quaint Waterfront Property

My wife and I stayed here with our three kids. The area was very clean. There were insects, which is to be expected in a property like this. The only complaint would be lack of seating as there were five of us and there is only one loveseat +4 dining Stools. It was a bit stuffy on arrival, but this was mostly due to the weather. The second day, as humidity dropped and the wind picked up off of the lake, the rental cool down nicely. We did bring our own mini cot so that our five year old could sleep in the bedroom with the rest of us. My three children enjoyed jumping off the dock and swimming in the cold superior water. If we had kayaks or canoes, it would’ve been great to tool around the area as there is a shipwreck within a few hundred yards of the dock. Communication with Amanda was easy and efficient. Check in and check out were no problem. A short trip to Red Cliff and Bayfield. We did stop at Petersons Grocery on the south side of Red Cliff to get breakfast supplies.

Mice 😞

They were very accommodating with a full refund but we couldn’t stay due to mice. The balcony leading to the lake is also unstable and thus unsafe for children or older adults.

Beautiful view; lots of stars!

If you are looking for quiet and secluded, this is a great place to stay. It is a little ways out of Bayfield, but the stars at night where stunning. We had a little difficulty unlocking the front door, but the property manager promptly answered her phone and got us in. This cabin is a little on the rustic side and the dock and railing are in need of repair. I would not recommend this place for a family with small children. But is you are looking for something quiet and peaceful, this will fit the bill.

We really enjoyed the cabin by the Lake Superior. No problems occurred, everything was fine. It was quiet, the view was very pleasant and the cabin was clean with everything we needed. We could swim in the lake, from the dock, the water was quite cold but clear. We recommend !

Very Nice view, but needs some work

The view is great. But the dock is under repair with loose boards and tilting into the lake- and not able to really use. There is a big sign on the deck instructing “Do Not Lean on railing”- the railing looks like it will fall over if you lean against it. The windows facing the lake do not open, which was unfortunate if one wanted to listen to the sounds or feel the breeze of this lovely isolated site. Nor were there any drapes to block the am sun into the living room so we were uncomfortably hot in the am. We were disappointed not to be able to use the dock as it was. This might be changing? Seating indoors and out is extremely limited (2 older wooden chairs outside, and a very small sofa inside) Not a place to just hang out with a group of 4 people. The kitchen was new, well stocked and clean. There were no bath towels. The beds were fine, the linens fresh. The owner kindly provided an air mattress. And in a great spot. Almost a great experience

On the water

It’s wonderful to wake up on the water, you can get any closer than this. It’s beautifully updated and the beds are comfortable but as stated in the info it is a small space, there were 2 of us so it was perfect. We loved our time spent there.

Our family is from the St. Cloud area in Minnesota. We enjoy going sailing, eating good food, playing games, traveling, and watching college hockey as a family. We have a small hobby farm where we raise alpacas and rocky mountain elk. Our family is pretty loud and we love meeting new people!

Why they chose this property

Our family chose to purchase this property after visiting the beautiful town of Bayfield for sailing. We absolutely love lake superior.

What makes this property unique

Our cabin sits right on the water which you don't see much anymore. You can't get much closer to living on the lake other than a boat!
