About the host
Hosted by John Murphy
John is retired from the Houston Police Department where he served for 28 years. He joined the force in 1982 and after 4 years of working Patrol, he joined the SWAT Team and remained with that division until his retirement in 2010. John has worked with Secret Service and other dignitary protection groups serving four presidents and numerous high profile individuals. He has a thorough understanding of one’s privacy and security and strives to ensure it.
Why they chose this property
John Murphy is no stranger to the north. John was actually born in Racine, Wisconsin and grew up on the shores of Lake Michigan in Muskegon, Michigan. After 30 years in the big city, it was time to retire. While John was vacationing in Northern Wisconsin, one of the locals suggested visiting Bayfield; so headed north to the city of Bayfield. Within the first few minutes of arriving, John knew he was back “Up North”; quaint shops; islands; friendly residents; and, of course, the big water - Lake Superior. It was like coming home. With sights set high, John headed back to Houston, sold his home and moved to Bayfield in August of 2010. Their new home and Carriage House Rental is situated on 10 beautifully wooded acres just one mile north of town.
What makes this property unique
Located on 10 wooded acres with a 1/2 mile hike/jog trail that runs along the property with it's own creek. John has assorted wildlife on the property including Black Bear, Bobcat, Deer, Coyote, Wolf, Raccoon, and Fox. The Carriage house is equipped with all the comforts of home and if you need any special requests, we can have it for you in minutes. You will have a 600 sq ft heated garage where you can store your equipment instead of being one of the many unfortunate visitors that have to keep all their toys on or attached to the vehicles. Located next to the Apostle Islands which is controlled by the National Park Service. You will find Seacaves along the islands and mainland. Kayaking, canoeing and boating is a lifetime experience along the Islands. You can paddle to one of the 21 islands and hike or even camp in areas pristine with nature and solitude.
After experiencing the thousands of acres of nature; walk, ride or drive one mile into town and shop at all the shops or eat at one of many restaurants while looking over Lake Superior and the islands. Want more culture?? Take in a show at the Big Top Chautauqua or at Stage North. You will see famous performers as well as our local artists. Don't forget the Bayfield Apple Festival or the Dog Sled Races or the Bayfield in Bloom or the Fall Harvest Celebration or the Blessing of the Fleet or 'whew!' Just too many things to see and do here in Bayfield. Check out our website for more info and pictures at superiorhorizons.
