Very nice lodging option in the heart of Bayfield's downtown. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and had great communication from hosts, making the stay very smooth. Plenty of space for 2 kids and 2 adults. We will definitely book again if our travels bring us to Bayfield. Be sure to eat at St. James Social. I am still dreaming of my meal!

Bayfield and Madeline Island are wonderful. This apartment was extremely well finished and well equipped for a parsimonious 1 bedroom. The Murphy bed was a little bumpy, but everything else was great. Because of the all Vrbo extra charges, the cost is higher than seems reasonable, but you know that cost going in.

About the host

Hosted by Pao Vang

Host profile image
We are Pao and Khou. We are long-term, year-round residents of Bayfield, WI. We have three young children who adore this pristine part of the Northwoods, from the soft, sandy beaches of summer to the powdered slopes of our neighboring ski hill in winter. We love to host families, couples, groups and individuals alike to experience a sliver of our world. Having the ability to do so via platforms like Vrbo is absolutely amazing.

Why they chose this property

You get to enjoy the energy and charm of Bayfield's main street, Rittenhouse Avenue, during the day and return to the privacy and seclusion of The Blue Grotto at night. You can easily access everything in downtown Bayfield by foot: the ferry line, the shops, all restaurants, many hiking trails, beaches and parks.

What makes this property unique

This property is entirely owner-operated. We believe guests have the best experience when rentals are ran by owners, not property managers. We are directly involved in every step of the rental process, from answering guest questions and accepting reservations to cleaning and laundry services.
