This condo offers everything you could want in a temporary home during your visit to Bayfield.

We live nearby and are available whenever needed to assist our guests. Our passion is ensuring guests experience the magic of what we feel is one of the most amazing places in the world.
Located on the beach right in downtown Bayfield. You can walk to a wide range of locally-owned shops, restaurants, galleries, and museums. And yet the condo is set far enough away from the main drag to not feel like you're too in the middle of everything.
You'll get off-street parking for one car in the lot. There is plenty of street parking available (except during Applefest weekend in October).
There are 2 picnic tables and 2 weber grills available for use by guests and residents of all units.
Bike racks are also available by the parking lot.
This main floor 1 bedroom condo features an open plan kitchen-dining-living space that opens up to your own private balcony overlooking the lake (perfect for morning coffee or evening cocktails). The living and dining area has a comfy couch and table seating for 4 - both situated to enjoy views of the lake during the day and tv or a movie at night. The clean and colorful kitchen includes glass-top 2-burner stove, an apartment-sized fridge, microwave, toaster, toaster oven, and a coffee maker. The bathroom features a step-in shower for easy access. This unit feels cheery and bright thanks to the colorful paint pallet, bright Bayfield artwork, and thoughtfully laid out furnishings.
The condo is an easy walk to Bayfield's many charming shops and restaurants, as well as the ferry to Madeline Island. It's also a perfect jumping off point to all of the incredible things to see & do throughout the greater Chequamegon Bay area.
One of our favorite features is the wonderful community garden that is adjacent to the condo building. There's few better places in the warmer months to enjoy a book or just take in the gorgeous flowers & plants in this "secret garden" setting.
The unit also features a rarity in the area: air conditioning, as well as high-speed wifi and cable tv.
Bayfield is a very walkable city, so your best bet for getting around is on foot. We are just a couple blocks from all the shops and restaurants in downtown Bayfield. Public transportation on the peninsula is provided by the Bay Area Rural Transit (BART), which stops in downtown Bayfield, just a few blocks from Reiten Boatyard. We're also within walking distance of the ferry to Madeline Island, which runs regularly from late spring through the end of fall, and sometimes beyond. Big Top Chautauqua also runs a shuttle from Bayfield to most of their concerts and events.
Less than 15 minute drive to Mt. Ashwabay ski hill, Big Top Chautauqua, hiking trails, beaches, and more.
An EV charging station is located in the parking lot on the corner of Washington Ave. and E. 6th St. in Washburn.
Be aware that sound and vibration travel easily in this building. Please be considerate of your neighbors and keep voices and TV levels down and please walk softly on stairway as well as inside the condo.
There is a hide-a-bed sofa in the living room with a memory foam mattress that can accommodate 1 small adult or child.
