    On our recent road trip around Lake Superior, we wanted to experience the Apostle Islands and found…read morea vacancy at the Legendary Waters Resort. When we arrived, I had forgotten it was also a casino - which we honestly care about (and generally avoid due to the noise, etc.). It was a beautiful room, spacious, with plenty of power outlets and comfortable furniture. It was very clean, and the bathroom was also large and looked new. Our room was on the top floor and overlooked the marina - a nice view to wake up to! We walked through the casino just to get a feel, and it was not noisy or smoky - definitely busier in the evening. They also have an on-site restaurant where we enjoyed breakfast one morning. All staff we met were friendly and helpful - and parking is plentiful and free. The town of Bayfield is just a 10-minute drive away with lots of restaurants, shopping, and recreation (kayak tours, boat tours, etc.). Also - don't miss the lovely hiking trail a 10-15 minute drive the other direction in the Frog Bay Tribal National Park.

    I enjoyed my stay at the Legendary Waters Resort & Casino. Who doesn't like staying at a casino?…read more There were events and a restaurant on site. I ate at the restaurant multiples and recommended the chicken wrap and the chicken wild rice soup! There are also kayaking spots/tours that you can book right next to the resort and a distillery within walking distance. It is a little outside of Bayfield so be prepared to drive into town.

    I have to say, the pictures did a little more justice…read more Called to make reservation and was greeted by the sweetest, nicest most helpful lady. If I recall her name was Denise. Reservations were easy and this place was dog friendly so this was the reason we chose this hotel. $25 non refundable pet fee which seemed fair. When we arrived there was nobody at check in so waited 15 min. Not a biggie. Rooms: Two full size beds? They didn't feel like Queens. Microwave Flatscreen Small Fridge Cleanliness- well...... It didn't feel that clean at all. The desks etc all felt sticky. I brought my own Clorox wipes. Bathroom had bugs and something disgusting in the door frame. TP was almost out. Both rolls were just about empty with no spares. No Kleenex Towels- not all of them were taken and replaced even though they were dirty. Carpet was dirty and was coming up by the outside door. Nice outdoor access if you have a pet, but there was a lot of garbage laying around, cigarette butts, dog poo, etc. The pool area was unbearably hot and not the cleanest. The sign says "with a resort like feel" not the ones I have been to. It was okay for the stay, but for the price it was a little overpriced compared to where we have stayed for less. The views are great. Beach area is not well kept. My son could not get enough of the hammocks, even though they were quite dirty, but he loved it.

    The price after labor was a joke, 100.00 more then other hotels. Our door didn't latch when closed…read more There toilets are so low to the floor and there are no grab bars that elderly people and people with Mobil issues like myself have a hard time getting up, had to have my help. Never again will I stay at one of these hotels, run people run.

    We visited The Bayfield Inn while in town because we had heard it was one of the nicer dining spots…read morein Bayfield, and my mom and I were hoping for an elevated dinner experience by the water. The rooftop seating was the highlight -- beautiful views and a really nice atmosphere sitting outside overlooking the water. We ordered the steak frites to share. The steak itself was very good -- cooked perfectly and full of flavor. However, the presentation was very underwhelming. It was served as just a piece of steak on a plastic plate with no real plating or sides. Our fries were also removed as a side from our meal, thinking there was a miscommunication there with the kitchen. We also asked for an extra plate and silverware to share, and were given a paper plate and plastic utensils, which made it difficult to eat a steak comfortably and felt inconsistent with the expected level of dining. Just odd! Our server mentioned he was new, which we appreciated, and he did refill drinks and check in a few times. Overall, though, the service felt a bit flat and not especially engaging. At the end, the bill was around $75 for the steak frites plus a service charge, which we hadn't seen elsewhere in town. Between the pricing, service, and presentation, the experience didn't quite match expectations. Overall, the rooftop and steak were enjoyable, but the experience felt inconsistent.

    This restaurant had it all- beautiful views, good food & excellent service. They had tables under…read moreshade covers & umbrellas which really helped. They had just started serving dinner to the tables and our waitress Ruby was very attentive and helpful. You no longer have to go up to bar and place your order & then wait & pick it up. The cheese curds were some of the best we have had. Fish & chips was good/ one order was enough for 2. They had a good selection of beers & drinks. After a 3 hour boat ride it was just what we needed.

    Extraordinary!! We booked a bungalow online for our mini-moon post wedding as this rental allowed…read moredogs as opposed to the main area and would book again in a heartbeat. Check-in takes place at the main entry and check-ins post 4 pm will have a cute envelope pinned to the bulletin board with all the room information including door code, printed ferry schedule and other surrounding area pamphlets. Needless to say, it is very safe here. We came during offseason and appreciated the quaint and quiet spaces. We enjoyed how everything was walking distance and took our time getting acclimated with learning all the logistics of the island and our property. If you need to exit the island for any reason, you will have to take the ferry which is the same as how you enter. Our room was clean and spacious. We enjoyed the indoor fireplace, the claw tub which we sadly never got around to using, the giant walk in shower, the comfortable bed, Keurig coffee in the morning hours, the outdoor fire pit, laying patio loungers and being one with nature. Each bungalow has a stove, oven, microwave and mini fridge along with wine glasses, coffee mugs, silverware and plates which we really appreciated!! We were able to leverage the wine glasses and reheat some leftover meals in the microwave. Having the restaurant on property was a great way to start our vacation and knowing it was always open was nice. We saw plenty of deer across the field in the golf course area along with on property. During the evening hours when we had our bonfires, the stars in the sky were bright and the howls of coyotes made their rounds. The staff was able to accommodate our ask for more K-cups along with a later check-out. We will definitely be returning and hope to check out apple fest next year and make this part of our anniversary!! Thank you!!

HOWEVER, the bed and pillows need replacing, and the power light on the wall AC unit is bright enough to light the room at night! Weird. If having a comfy bed isn't all that important, a great place to stay. Wonderful food at the Pub.
