Beautiful Victorian, well-preserved, beautifully decorated and immaculate. We stayed here for two…read morenights following Bayfield's big Applefest. Considering our hosts must have been tired after such a weekend invasion, they were wonderfully welcoming and accommodating. They were also non-intrusive and left us to come and go as we pleased. Our suite was delightful and comfortable. Breakfast was left on a tray outside our door by 7:30 each morning and it was delicious. Bayfield is an interesting, artsy town on the Lake Superior shore. The guest house is just a block or two away from the shops and harbor, albeit up a hill. Walking is completely doable if you are of average physical health. The only drawback is minor (to me), but was major to my husband, a Green Bay Packer fan. The guest house, and apparently much of Bayfield, subscribes to Minnesota-based cable TV. It didn't have much to offer, especially the Packer football game. Instead we and hundreds of others packed into the Creamery, a downtown tavern that apparently was the only venue carrying the game. All in all, a beautiful place to stay. Hope to come back again!

The bathroom door was spattered with something brown. The wallpaper, bathroom fixtures were very out of date (1980's?). The mattress has definitely seen better days, not replaced in recent history; it was very uncomfortable. Only 2 flat pillows in room. The sofa also was old and uncomfortable. TV didn't have many channels. There was no shampoo/conditioner in bathroom. The continental breakfast was adequate, but with no table in room to eat on, we didn't partake of much of it. The only time we saw or heard from the innkeepers was at check in and check out. Oh, there was a typed note asking how we intended to pay and if credit, schedule at time to meet the innkeeper in the living room downstairs. He never asked how our stay was. We have chosen to stay in B & B's many times, and have not seen the likes of this - ever. All in all, a very disappointing stay. We would recommend staying anywhere else.

UPDATE: After three requests to cancel our reservation through the motel's online contact webpage,…read morewe finally received a fragmented email on July 7, 2022 stating only "i have cancelled it and responded all 3 times". Which, pardon my French, is complete bullsh*t. And no apology for the inconvenience, of course. Sadly, this is why we avoid mom & pop shoestring operations like this whenever possible, and stay instead in chain hotels (Marriott, Hilton, etc.) with proper on-line reservation and cancellation websites. Don't get me wrong. We'd love to support indie businesses. But when they have your credit card info, and threaten to charge you for one (or more!) night's stay for not timely cancelling, it's just not worth the hassle. We travel for fun, not to deal with slacker-generated grief. *** Please answer your mail! I've sent two messages through your online contact page asking you to cancel reservation ID 9293SS95, and to send me a confirming email. That shouldn't be too tough, yeah?

We stayed at an amazing bed and breakfast in Bayfield: the Pinehurst Inn.

The room was fantastic, with a large tub, 3-sided fireplace and filled with good energy and aromas from the spa two floors below. I started reading, "The Devil in the White City" and "Lake Superior Magazine" by the fire. Because of the thinness of ice on Lake Superior in January, hiking to the ice caves along the lakeshore was impossible. Instead I picked up "A Voice Within" by photographer Craig Blacklock, and took the trip in my imagination.

I chose Wild Rice because of the rave reviews and it happens to be in Bayfield, which is the jumping off point for the Apostle Islands (and was on my bucket list to visit). I chose to stay 3 nights and by the time I had to check out, I wished I had booked for longer. What a peaceful, rejuvenating place - not for everyone but I found it very relaxing and a nice change of pace. To start with, the grounds are beautiful and the property backs up to Lake Superior and the Brownstone Trail. There are different types of cabins/accommodations to choose from but I selected the Ricepod (single room cabin). I thought it was comfortable and had nice finishes - think soft close drawers and french press provided with local coffee. I only wished the cabins were spaced a little further apart. For immersion classes, meals, etc. there was a main lodge. The food and beverage is focused around being locally-sourced, seasonal, and healthy, and I enjoyed it very much. It's a buffet format during certain hours so guests can come at their leisure and there's different seating options both inside (multiple rooms) and the outside deck. I also enjoyed the evening restorative yoga classes before retiring for the night. And lastly, one of the highlights for me was the massage - heavenly! I rarely visit the same place twice for vacation but I'm already thinking about coming back for a winter trip at some point!
