The place was awesome! The hosts were friendly and helpful working through a wi-fi/electrical outage issue and are clearly very passionate about the area! Nothing beats a fire and watching shooting stars. Comfy, clean, had everything we needed and more.

Comfy, cozy and clean. Sky Fire was a beautiful home base that gave us easy access to the Corny, Herbster and Bayfield areas. We explored local shops, enjoyed great meals and some of the best blueberry picking. We explored beaches and hunted for yooperlite, experienced the brightest rainbow of our lives and still had plenty of down time to read, talk and recharge.

Relaxing getaway!

Very comfortable home and setting. Outside space was great for the dogs, and we loved having the washer and dryer! Easy access to Cornucopia. Beautiful views - just sorry it wasn’t at lake level.

The pictures don't do this place justice! A beautiful home with an amazing view. We had such a wonderful time exploring the Apostle Islands and the Bayfield/Cornucopia area, and this was a great place to make our home base. The host was kind and enjoyable to visit with.

Fantastic Apostle Islands vacation!

We had a wonderful time at this rental. With 2 adults and 3 kids and a dog, we had everything we needed plus more! Amazing view of Lake Superior, hammock, fire pit, kid friendly ace throwing, dog friendly, close to everything but tucked away, private, wooded, absolutely gorgeous location. And the owners were really nice and helpful. We will be back!

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!

70th birthday getaway

Weather was great. Location breath taking. Got the most spectacular sunset pictures. Went to North Shore of as well for sightseeing. Highly recommend. The property was easy to get to but so isolated and peaceful. If you want to just get out of the hectic world this is the place!

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 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 .
