We enjoyed our stay here. The apartment was beautiful and right in the middle of all activities we needed. We toured the Apostle Islands by a Boat Cruise which was walking distance from the place. It was a wonderful vacation place.

Very Clean & Updated
Very clean and accommodating place to stay. Short walk to many restaurants and local bars. Also one of the few that doesn't require a two night minimum, which is a very nice consideration to have. Would highly recommend!

Convenient
Property was as described, very convenient to downtown Bayfield and the waterfront. Host very responsive. Comfortable and well appointed. Decorating/paint and ceiling was dark, perhaps an acquired taste but overall a good place.

Beautiful property
The apartment is on a second floor walk up and is beautifully decorated, is clean, comfortable and close to everything. I would definitely stay here again. Khou and Pao are excellent hosts, and communicate very well regarding expectations and are available for questions. You can see the lake from the back porch, and the area is very walkable.

Great Location!
Located on the main drag of Bay Field and within walking distance to everything. Extremely clean with a large kitchen and living space. Perfect for 3 of us, but would fit a family of 4 with the pullout bed and large couch. We spent many hours in the evening sitting on the back deck looking at the lake. We will be back!

Exploring Bayfield WI and the Apostle Islands
The Blue Grotto is the perfect setting for sightseeing on foot. Market right across the street, ferry less than 5 min. walk and Apostle Cruise about 2 min. walk. Shops, pub, deli or restaurants, museum, marina and a few fish markets with fresh or delicious smoked fish within 5 min. The accommodations are very comfortable and very tastefully decorated. The owners definitely have an eye for detail, design and quality materials. You are close to everything, but it was very quiet, secluded and felt safe. Our car was parked right below our bedroom window. Nice back deck with a partial, but good view of the big lake. I have already recommended this to friends and family that plan to tour the area.

Wonderful Property and Location!
My husband and I had a great stay. The location is great, and the decor, furnishings, etc. are impeccable. Owners were very responsive. The only thing inside that could be improved would be instructions in the binder on how to use the heat. After the first night, we communicated with the owners and they explained what to do. The only criticism of the property is that the outside could use some maintenance. The interior was gorgeous and we loved our stay very much! Thank you!
