Pepin Retreat @ Brickyard Creek, Bayfield

Pepin Retreat is a two-building accommodation located in the boreal forests of Brickyard Creek. The main lodge has a beautiful open-floor plan and sleeps up to five guests. The main floor features a king suite with a connecting bathroom, full kitchen, great room, and oversized screened-in porch. Walk up that stairs to a second bath and double queen bedroom that overlooks the lower level of the home. Pep’s Place is the second, smaller cabin connected to the main house by a large deck; this unit can comfortably accommodate two with a queen bed, private bathroom, and kitchenette. Pepin Retreat has a modern Northwoods-chic style and is wonderful for larger families or groups.

WELCOME GUESTS!

The Brickyard Creek Cottages (BYC) is an environmental ​community of private residences​ with a small percentage of privately owned rental cottages. Individual owners and families come to enjoy the natural setting and quiet privacy of their cabin in the woods. ​BYC’s community rental policies below:​

COTTAGE PRIVACY:​ ​Join us in enjoying the natural setting: forest trails, creek, and over 70 acres of Bayfield Boreal Forest. Honor the privacy of residents and other guests—o​nly use designated nature trails or roads to explore the area. The areas along the lake are privately owned and are not part of the BYC community land. Please respect our neighbors!

QUIET ESCAPE IN THE WOODS:​
S​ounds carry through the woods. Keep Brickyard Creek a 'tranquil nature escape' for everyone by refraining from loud music and excessive porch noise. Community​ quiet hours ​are enforced daily between 1​0pm and 8am.​

HEALTH DEPARTMENT LIMITS:​
E​ach cottage is approved by the Bayfield County Health Department to accommodate a maximum number of guests deemed appropriate to the cottage style.​ All guests must be registered. Adding guests after registration is strictly prohibited. The local health code is regulated and monitored.

COMMUNITY BEACH:​
Enjoy the community's private beach and covered picnic area as you look out at the Apostle Islands. Be safe; absolutely no climbing on the rock wall. The jagged boulders are unstable and shifting daily. The marina land, docks, furniture, and clubhouse adjacent to the community beach are for paid m​arina members only​. There is ​no public bathroom​ available at the lakefront​. The parking spaces at Roy's Point Marina are for boaters renting the marina slips ​only​. Please walk, using either the trail or road system, when visiting the beach.

PARKING:​
Guests are allotted space for ​two cars or motorcycles​ at each rental cottage. N​o RV, boat, or trailer parking is allowed at cabins.​ Parking for excess cars and alternative vehicles is available for a small nightly fee adjacent to the marina. ​Contact Roy's Point Marina to reserve space in advance of your arrival​. The Brickyard Creek Association, residents and/or rental agents assume no responsibility for loss, theft, or damage to personal belongings in or on the Brickyard Creek property.

ATV's & UTV'S:
All-terrain vehicles and snowmobiles are ​not permitted​ on Brickyard Creek roads.

ALLERGY-FREE ZONE:​
​All cottages are allergy-free rentals, only a handful of cabins allow pets— n​o pets without prior approval​. NO smoking or burning incense or candles allowed​. Per the State of Wisconsin smoking ban, this includes smoking on decks and/or screen porches.

CAMPFIRES:​
Enjoy the community fire pit located near the beach by the gazebo. There is usually firewood available​. DO NOT pick up wood on the common grounds, private lots, or along the trails. Be alert to wind and weather conditions. Fast-moving embers easily burn holes in sails of boats at the marina or start forest fires. Please be careful not to build roaring fires. Do not leave fires unattended and ensure they are fully extinguished​ when leaving the area. ​Fires are not permitted anywhere else on BYC properties.

GRILLS:​
P​ropane or electric grills are available at most properties for guest use. Guests shall be required to clean grills after use. Failure to do so will result in a $​25 fee. Propane should be T​URNED OFF​ after use and c​over placed on grill A​FTER ​grill is cool.​ Please notify Windseeker Rentals when propane runs out.

HOLDING TANKS:​ ​
The majority of the Brickyard Creek Cottages have holding tanks, not a sewer or septic system. Please ​don't run water unnecessarily or flush any feminine products.​ We ask that only registered guests to the cottage unit use the bath/shower facilities.

GARBAGE & RECYCLING:​
O​ur community recycles c​ans, cardboard, plastic, and glass​— we hope you will too! G​arbage and recycling dumpsters are located just past the intersection of Roy's Point Boulevard and Brickyard Creek Road​. Please "free your recyclables" by placing them directly in the dedicated dumpster or use a paper bag. We are charged an added fee for every plastic bag found in our recycling dumpster. Thank you for your efforts. ​Every little bit counts!

CHILDREN & FAMILIES:​ ​
The love of the environment starts in childhood. Kids are always welcome!​ Please ​provide adult supervision to ensure their safety​ and the solitude of the other guests and residents.

TWENTY IS PLENTY:​ ​
The roads in Brickyard Creek are considered part of the trail system. For the safety of all pedestrians, ​drive 20 mph or less​. Particularly watch for children whose enthusiasm may cause them to outpace their adult supervisors.

NATIVE TREES & FLORA:​
Brickyard cottages are "of the land, not on the land." During construction, very few trees and natural plants were disturbed. We ask you to be cautious of marked "nature rehabilitation" areas​, and please don't pick wildflowers.

COTTAGE FIREPLACES:​
​Wood burning fireplaces in chalets are N​OT for guest use​ unless otherwise specified.

MEET THE NEIGHBORS:​
​Brickyard Creek is a residential community of private Lake Superior cabins with a small percentage of rental cottages. Individual owners, families, and guests come to enjoy the natural setting and the tranquility of the Bayfield Boreal Forest. In this quiet environmental community, the “cabins are of the land not on the land.” The community consists of a group of active people ​committed to maintaining this unique boreal forest environment, promoting education, and creating a legacy of responsible stewardship​.

Perfect Accommodations
Beautiful home in the woods. So peaceful. Our host has everything we needed and the beds were super comfy. The location was perfect. Just a quick two mile drive into Bayfield. We especially loved the pristine trails and short walk down to the marina. I highly recommend the Pepin Retreat.

Pepin Lodge is a beautiful place to stay. Just right for out small retreat group. With nice open floor plan and gathering space both inside and out. We loved the screened in porch which served as a space to sit, reflect and meditate as well as protection from the mosquito population. The little cottage was perfect fit for the special need person in our group. Our retreat group really appreciated the care that was taken in respecting the trees and nature and the small foot print of the cabin. We felt held by the trees and nature. The trail to the marina is a delightful meandering with birds and animals saying "hi" along the way. Thank you for the care that was taken in the building of the lodge with respect to nature. And for the great care that is taken with caring for the lodge itself. The integrity and care is palpable. Well done.
