My boyfriend and I stayed in the Basswood cabin. It is Very beautifully refinished, windows facing the lake are big, and wonderful any time of day, to sit and watch sail boats go by. Kitchen was equipped with everything we needed to make some simple meals, and there was a coffee pot (very important for us) Lovely bathroom and shower.... More

My girlfriend and I just visited here for my birthday. It was located just a mile north of Bayfield which tends to be quiet year round although touristy in late summer and for Apple Fest in October. Anyway though it was a mile away it seemed completely tranquil in its location and almost remote you might say. Anyway if you're... More

We stayed at this inn in February for Book Across the Bay weekend. What a great find! It's literally right on the lake with such beautiful views and a fabulous deck for relaxing. Lots of woods surrounding the inn, so you feel a bit off the beaten path. Yet, it takes just 2 minutes to drive into Bayfield. We had... More

The view from our upstairs suite was Superior - both the Lake and the view. Madeline Island off in the distance. Clean and comfortable accommodations. Firm bed. Located a few miles outside of Bayfield in a quiet setting. First B&B I've seen with a note asking us to do our own dishes, but maybe that was because of the cook... More

We stayed in the Fedora Suite for 4 nights, and overall were very happy with our stay. The view of the lake and the islands was the best part...I can't even describe the full moon on the water. The room was clean and the hosts (Mike, Audrey, and 5-year-old Seren) were very accommodating. We had a handy kitchenette, and breakfast... More

My husband and I spent 3 nights in the Sevona suite and were pleasantly surprised. I am extremely picky about where I stay and I found the suite to be very clean and comfortable. The grounds of the B&B were beautiful and serene, and the view of Lake Superior was fabulous. We were especially delighted by the full hot breakfast... More

If you are looking for a Victorian B & B with a huge hot breakfast this is NOT the place. If you are looking for a clean and comfortable cabin rental, close to Bayfield but still tucked out of the way Island view will fit your needs nicely. Breakfast was delivered to our cabin in a basket every morning around... More

I'll second everything the previous reviewer wrote... my husband and I loved our three-day stay at Island View B&B. It was quiet, clean, and welcoming, with an unbeatable view! We spent most of our time in Bayfield (only a 1 1/2 mile walk or drive south... I walked one morning, and it was a pleasant experience), but Island View was... More

This was the perfect place to stay in the Apostle Islands. We stayed in the Savona suite, located in the house. The B&B also has small cottages to rent right next door. The property is situated right on the shores of Lake Superior, overlooking Madelaine and Basswood Islands, just north of the town of Bayfield. There is a large shaded... More
