Amazing little place in the heart of town

Loved this place. Literally right in the heart of Bayfield, it’s only a block or two walk to just about everything you would want to see and do. Cozy and simple little home that makes a great stay for a smaller group.

We had a wonderful time and the house is in an excellent location to walk to all areas of interest. We had excellent communication with the host and they were so quick to respond to any question I had. The house is very spacious and very clean and supplied with everything we needed. I would recommend this VRBO highly and we will return as well.

Wonderful place to stay!

Location is perfect; so close to everything. Inside was spotless and so comfortably and beautifully decorated. 5 of us for a "girls night out"--the living area was a wonderful gathering place; it was a bit cool to use the deck. Beds quite comfortable; one of us slept on the couch and one brought an air mattress so that we'd have enough sleeping spots. Worked well. Would stay here again and would highly recommend.
