About this property

The Little Bodin

Cute two-bedroom upstairs rental unit with a small living area, centrally located within the heart of downtown Bayfield, close to all restaurants, shops, the beaches and the ferry line. NOTE: This property DOES NOT have a kitchen; it has a microwave, mini fridge and coffee maker. It is ideal for small groups who mostly want to be out exploring and who will eat out or be fine with bringing food back to microwave and eat. We DO NOT SUPPLY EATING UTENSILS OR PLATES.

Guests will have the full upstairs unit to themselves. It consists of a small living room, one full bath and two large bedrooms, each with its own full/queen bed and freestanding wardrobe. The bedrooms are spacious, but the living area is tiny and would fit 4 snugly. THERE IS NO KITCHEN. We want to stress that this rental unit is ideal for groups who mostly plan activities outdoors and come back to wind down before bedtime.

The downstairs is its own separate rental unit. As sound travels easily through the walls, we ask that all guests observe indoor voices and light feet. **Quiet Hours are 10PM to 8AM**

**We have a strict “no outdoor shoes inside” policy. The flooring is hard maple throughout with area rugs for comfort. Please consider bringing your own indoor slippers or nonskid socks for your stay.**

**Bedrooms: The two spacious bedrooms each have a freestanding wardrobe.

**Full bath: There is one full bath with shower over tub. Dove shampoo, conditioner and body wash are provided.

**Coffee: There is a Mr. Coffee 8-cup coffee maker with mugs. Folgers coffee is supplied.

**Roku TV: There is a 40" Roku TV in the living room.

**There is a mini fridge and microwave present. Please note there are NO PLATES OR UTENSILS available. Dawn dish soap and a small bottle cleaner are provided for washing coffee mugs.

Lovely and perfectly located.

We stayed in this lovely house with cousins. Pao and Khou were prefect hosts, very responsive to our questions and needs. The location couldn't have been more perfect, within easy distance of everything in Bayfield that we wanted to see and do. We would recommend this house to anyone, and we'll certainly rent in the future when visiting again.

Great location. Each had our own bedroom

It was very cute,comfortable beds, and the location to everything in town was perfect. We never used the car the entire time we were there. The stairs could be a problem for older people, but us 55-70 year olds had no trouble 😊

Perfect location

Loved the unit! It was perfect for what we needed with the 3 bedrooms. Wish we could have stayed longer! Already telling all my friends about it if they need a place to stay in bayfield! Only thing I would have liked to see added is a toaster, but I knew it only had a microwave and mini fridge. Great location, great signage! Made it very easy to find!

80th Birthday Celebration

Little Bodin is a great location to many things Bayfield offers. Steps away from downtown shops & restaurants, ferry to Madeline Island & Apostle Island Boat Cruises. We did not need our car all weekend. Host was readily available for any questions we had.

About the host

Hosted by Pao Choua 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 hosting families, couples, groups and individuals alike who want to experience a small bit of our world. Having the ability to do so via platforms like Vrbo is absolutely amazing.

Why they chose this property

We love the high energy of downtown Bayfield juxtaposing against the privacy and comfort of the Bodin-ski House. Evenings are bustling but nights are calm and quiet. The lake is at our doorstep, so evenings are balmy and bug-free.

What makes this property unique

Enjoy this modern and beautifully renovated historic Bayfield property.
