Great place to stay!

Wonderful place! The kitchen had everything we needed. The space was beautiful and the check in and out was very easy. Only thing to note (and it was unusually when we were there) no air conditioning. This was fine for a couple of nights. The last night was really warm and hard to sleep. Other than that fantastic place!

Great location for hikes and relaxing

Seamless check-in, great e-communication with host including some great tips for area. Place is very clean and as shown in photos. Before booking, I was a little hesitant because it is a guest house (attached to main house). But other residents were not seen or heard, very respectful of privacy. Would stay again .

Wonderful Lake Superior getaway!

My husband and I loved our weekend stay. It was important to us to find a dog friendly environment so our doodles, Vivian and Fern, could join us. The guesthouse was very private and we felt right at home. Our host, Erin, thought of all amenities including extra dog toys, which I found to be a sweet added touch. All checking in and checkout expectations were clear and helpful. Our stay was clean, comfortable, adorable and we felt safe. The view of Lake Superior was wonderful and loved the fireplace. We definitely recommend staying here if you are ever in the area. Thank you Erin for the lovely weekend getaway.

Great hosts, great house, and What a View

If you are a fan or groupie of Lake Superior, cinsider Sky Fire, It is clean and has a very well provided house with everything you need to enjoy the Lake including a spectacular view from the cliff in the yard, It was perfect for us. We were two people and a dog. I particularly like thar the location is away from Bayfield. So it is quiet and peaceful.

charming home with wonderful view

Had some serious hiccups with gaining information for check-in, but after we did, all was well. Owner was helpful throughout the stay and even allowed another couple to visit for a few nights of our two week stay. This is such a nice home in a lovely area. We enjoyed both an indoor fire and an outdoor fire. Twice we visited Siskiwit River Falls; we enjoyed the hike so much. If staying in the area, I recommend this beautiful home!

Getaway

Wonderful home. Beautiful view. Super quiet. Loved that we could bring our dog. Would definitely recommend. It is a guest house connected to another home but no one but us was there. If privacy is important just check the other side of home will be vacant during your stay.

Comfortable and quiet

My husband, son and I spent a long weekend relaxing, hiking, and enjoying the view. The cabin was clean and well stocked. Erin communicated well and even made sure we had an instapot for our chili. Despite the rain and lack of winter snow, we still found plenty of beaches and trails to explore nearby.

Great getaway

This is a lovely place to get away and unplug. The house is well-kept and nicely appointed. We didn't find ourselves lacking anything we expected. The view of the lake is fantastic, with glorious sunsets. The only downside is that there were a lot of mosquitos (early July). Be prepared with several types of insect repellant.

Winter Wonderland

This was a much needed getaway that turned into a late winter wonderland. We received ~12 inches of snow during our stay, which kept up mainly inside. The guesthouse provided us with spectacular views and was warm and comfortable. The games and puzzles provided helped to keep us entertained. The few times we were out walking the dogs the entire area was peaceful and serene. Communication about the impending weather and snow removal was excellent. We would love to go back there again.
