Stayed there over memorial day weekend. Perfect location, great view and great service. Even though there was a bar in the hotel it was nice and quiet. The view was looking out at a little park and lake superior. Right by the dock with sail boats and the ferry was just up the street, Would stay there again.

My business partner and I visited Bayfield twice this year, once in the heart of winter, and again in early spring. The staff is warm, helpful, and friendly, and they really go the extra mile. The food in their restaurant is delicious, they serve breakfast and lunch. And the rooms are newly renovated and tastefully appointed. And last but not... More

My Fiance and I got married on a sailboat near Basswood Island on May 17th, 2013. The night before listed a 50 percent chance of rain that day, but the day ended up beautiful and we even had a nest with eagles overlooking our ceremony. As soon as my Fiance and I decided to have our ceremony in Bayfield, I... More

Enjoyed our stay at the Bayfield inn. The room was comfortable and clean and I believe recently redecorated. Our room overlooked a pretty little park and Lake Superior. Thank you for morning coffee in room or lobby! We will be back to dine at your restaurant on our next visit.

We had to stay when Achilles destroyed our plans for camping. The staff is great and the rooms spotless. I had woken up with what I thought were them bugs, but I dismissed it as from hiking in the woods earlier. Second night no itch.

Over Presidents' Day weekend we had a family crisis. Could not be left alone at home, on top of one of Bayfield's hills without a car in winter weather. Called The Bayfield Inn, and eventhough they were very busy that weekend, they made room for me and totally took care of me They drove me where ever I needed to... More

I stayed here in Feb 2013 during a girls weekend. It was the perfect spot for four girls. We utilized the kitchen and the location was very convenient. In fact, we didn't drive at all during our stay. We walked to Brownstone Centre to rent cross country skis (about $20 for the whole day) and we cross country skied from... More

My husband and I stayed here one night last summer, and it was great! The location is right in the middle of Bayfield, and you can walk everywhere. The rooms are nice, and we loved the rooftop bar! Will definitely go back.

I got to spend a lovely winter weekend here with 4 good friends. The condo was the perfect size for the 5 of us, with 2 shared beds and the pull-out couch in the den. The furniture in the main living area was very comfy and the kitchen had everything we needed. The fireplace was a huge plus! The location... More

We stayed in the Boat Works Condos, room 205. It was extremely comfy for our family of four. We had the entire building to ourselves, I believe, so it was extremely quiet, as you may expect in the heart of a WI winter. This condo has a full kitchen, which we took full advantage of for the two days we... More
