About this property

Gorgeous Chalet on Lake Superior - Snowmobile/ATV Trails 100 yds from the Door!

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.

Beautiful home with a magnificent Great Room and view of the private beach/bay. All 4 bedrooms have plenty of room with their own attached bathrooms a must for our group of four couples. The coffee/beverage wet bar was ideal for all of our beverages including three coffee makers for those who prefer black over flavored coffee. We had no problems with the location of the property as it was an easy drive to Bayfield for a couple boat trips as well as heading over to Myers Beach and Cornucopia. Highly recommend the property that had plenty of room for the 8 of us to spend time in. And our Host (Karen) was very accommodating.

Ours is a three generation family who've traveled to summer vacation sites that can accommodate a large group for roughly 40 years. This impressive home has the best equipped kitchen we've experienced and it, along with the home in general offer several areas inside and outside to gather or relax. The coffee bar area and additional refrigerator are a plus.We enjoyed our stay and plan to share our pictures and stories. Thanks!

Wonderful space. Perfect spot for exploring the Bayfield Peninsula or just chilling in place. The Chalet was perfect for our family of ten, ages 4 to 76. Everyone loved it. We loved the coffee bar. The kitchen was great for prepping and serving meals. Plenty of chairs outside. Nice campfire on the beach. The littles especially loved all the games, from giant Sorry to travel size Connect Four. Karen was easy to communicate with and quick to respond.

The Bayside Chalet had everything we needed and more. So many utensils, cookware and supplies we didn't need to bring anything. Bedrooms were large and comfortable as well as the beds. Loved the pinecone lamps in MB. The decor had lots of unique items which added so much lake charm. Outdoor area and beach was perfect for our little grandchildren. We would love to visit here again someday. Thank you for making us feel so welcome in your home.

The house is spacious and beautiful. There were seven of us and it worked out great. We loved the coffee bar in the great room with an extra refrigerator. There is so much to do in the area and at the house. We rented kayaks and paddle boards for a couple of days and the kids love it along with the parents. There is a dairy close by with best tasting ice cream, milk and cheese. It was a wonderful vacation.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Keith & Karen

Host profile image
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!
