About this property
Gorgeous Chalet on Lake Superior with Private Sandy Beach!
Welcome to the spectacular Bay View Chalet, a stunningly spacious, beautiful, and modern home, with its own private beach on the Chequamegon Bay of Lake Superior! This amazing property sits right on the shoreline, just 18 minutes south of all that Bayfield has to offer, and 15 minutes north of more great shopping, restaurants, and provisions in Ashland. We are proud of our 5-star rating, and trust that you will enjoy this property as much as we do!
Perhaps the most striking feature of this home is the 3-story Great Room overlooking the lake. The massive wall of windows opens up gorgeous views from every part of the house. Part of the distinctive appeal of this room is the coffee and wet bar, which includes a wine fridge, microwave, and two coffee makers (both regular and Keurig). Adjacent to the Great Room is a theater room with Blu-ray player, full surround sound, and 65” TV. The ground floor also boasts a huge master suite (king bed) that includes two private sitting areas - one of which is a small outdoor screened porch – plus a bathroom with a ceramic tile shower and luxurious, 2-person jetted tub.
Our gourmet kitchen is appointed with everything you need to cook for and entertain your family and friends with class: 6-burner Jenn-Air gas range, granite countertops, cherry cabinets, a 4-seat granite breakfast island, double ovens, dishwasher, and refrigerator (with a second full-sized refrigerator just a few feet away). Appliances and utensils abound for all your entertaining needs.
Adjacent to the kitchen is a dining room with seating for up to 10, plus two additional oak tables in the Great Room to comfortably seat more. There's also outdoor seating on the deck. Enhance the atmosphere with our 3-sided stone gas fireplace, visible from the kitchen, dining room, and Great Room.
Head upstairs via the grand, glass-railed, split staircase to find 3 large bedrooms, each with its own breathtaking lake view, and each with its own full bathroom. The spacious south bedroom sleeps up to 6 – perfect for the kids or grandkids. It has a king bed, plus a bunk bed that has a double lower bed and single (twin) upper bed (this room also has a roll-away twin if needed). The equally sized north bedroom sleeps up to 3 (queen and twin), and the middle bedroom sleeps 2 (king). Each bathroom has a ceramic tile shower (one with tub).
From the second floor, guests over age 10 can ascend one of two solid oak staircases to the third floor loft. This is the pinnacle of the Chalet! Enjoy the quiet sitting area and look out for miles over Lake Superior, or get some work done in the small office area. (Note: For their safety, we ask that children under 10 stay off these narrow stairways unless accompanied by an adult; gates are provided).
Step outside, breathe in the fresh lake breeze, and listen to the water lap up on your private sandy beach. The lake water is clear, shallow and perfect for swimming! Bring kayaks, paddle boards, and other favorite water toys. Enjoy some friendly competition in the yard with family lawn games (provided), or move to the paved parking area for a fast-paced game of basketball. Grill some steaks and burgers on our Weber gas grill. Enjoy an evening campfire and roast marshmallows on the beach in our fire ring (firewood is available for purchase nearby).
Within 100 yards of our front door, you’ll find bike, 4-wheeler, and snowmobile trails that are part of the renowned County-wide trail system.
Venture away from the property and within 20 short minutes you’re in the center of Bayfield, a town honored by national publications for its restaurants, marina, shopping, entertainment, and overall charm. Go on a glass-bottom boat tour and visit nearby shipwrecks, visit the sea caves of the Apostle Islands by kayak or tour boat, take the ferry to Madeline Island, or experience one of Bayfield’s many events such as the famous Apple Festival in October. Pick fresh apples and berries at a local Bayfield farm, take in 18-holes of golf at one of three local courses, or enjoy an evening show at the Big Top Chautauqua. You’ll never run out of things to do!
Notes: (1) Base rate is for up to 8 people. Additional people (up to 13 max) are charged at $25/person per night. This helps keep our prices affordable for smaller groups, and acknowledges that larger groups cost more (energy, trash, wear and tear, waste water, etc.). This is common for most VRBO properties. You will see the extra person fees itemized before you book.
(2) Sorry, we are unable to accommodate pets.

Amazing lake views and so peaceful to be right on the lake. The place was incredibly peaceful and beautiful. Loved the bonfire space and the beach front. Kitchen is great for group cooking and large family meals. Love the open space!
Fantastic, spacious property steps from lake Superior. Located minutes from Washburn, Ashland and Bayfield. Our family had a wonderful stay even with the rain.
Came for an intimate wedding on Madeline Island and this property fit our needs completely. Good variety of available rooms for everyone with their own bathrooms! Beautiful views from each window and back deck with more than enough space to be together to make s'mores on the deck, play games (many provided), or spend quiet time in rooms. Close to towns as needed.
Fabulous place, functional, comfortable, well designed and highly attractive. Restaurants and seafood markets inexpensive. Many outdoor activities. We’ll be back.
Great House, Great Location! Everything was as described in listing. No complaints. Host was easy to communicate with and very helpful. If you want a very nice, well cared for place to stay, this is the place!
We had a great time at this Lake Superior property. The sandy beach was amazing, and the house was absolutely beautiful. The communication with Karen was also top-notch. Everything was spotless, and it looked just like the photos!
The house looked just like the pictures listed! It was clean and very well appointed! It was located in a nice quiet neighborhood not far from town. The owned was easy to reach and even checked on us to make sure we had everything we needed. Plenty of space for a nice getaway with friends. I would definitely recommend this house!
An outstanding place to have a family weekend. The home is beautiful. Extremely well appointed and supplied. One of the best VRBO properties we've ever stayed in. A true 5 star property.
This lovely chalet easily accommodated our group of 10. Each en-suite bedroom was well-appointed, roomy, and comfortable. Keith & Karen were exceptionally responsive and considerate. This place was definitely one of the best VRBOs we've enjoyed over the years.
The property was very nice! We had a couple of "bumps"; however, Richard and Karen, were very helpful and helped make our stay wonderful!

Thanks for the review, Laurie! Yes, we did experience some "bumps" during your stay.
We had two plumbing issues related to our cold water pipes, one of which we didn't find out about until after your stay. Both have now been repaired.
As we said, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience, and were happy to give you a partial refund. Such back-to-back problems are thankfully very rare.
We had a wonderful time a this beautiful house! The beach was a big hit with the group! Everyone enjoyed the coffee bar area and the entertainment room ! The house is very well set up with many lovely areas for people to gather.
This chalet was Amazing! We had 13 total and there was plenty of room for everyone! Of course Lake Superior was a beautiful back drop for the property!

About the host
Hosted by Keith & Karen
We live in the Twin Cities, and have always been drawn to Lake Superior. That eventually led us to Bayfield, where we purchased a property in 2015. During our visits here, we have become ever more attached to the area, leading us to purchase another property in 2018.
Why they chose this property
The house itself, inside and out, is simply spectacular! We hope to retire to the area some day.
What makes this property unique
This property is close to everything. From our home at the south end of Washburn, within 20 minutes, you're in either Bayfield or Ashland. And yet, whether inside the Great Room, or outside on the deck or the sandy beach, you are seemingly far away from the cares of this world!
