Wonderful place to stay!

Location is perfect; so close to everything. Inside was spotless and so comfortably and beautifully decorated. 5 of us for a "girls night out"--the living area was a wonderful gathering place; it was a bit cool to use the deck. Beds quite comfortable; one of us slept on the couch and one brought an air mattress so that we'd have enough sleeping spots. Worked well. Would stay here again and would highly recommend.

Great, centrally located home

Our family rented both the Bodin units for one night and really loved the house and location. It was just a short walk to restaurants and shops, and the home was so comfortable. The pictures don’t do it justice! Booking and check-in were easy and the hosts were very accommodating and quick to respond. We’ll definitely book again if we get back to Bayfield.

Lovely first floor of a house and great location

The property was lovely. It is the first floor of a house and we did hear the upstairs people a little bit when they came in and out but otherwise not at all. The main bedroom was very spacious with a great bathroom including a sink that is outside the toilet/bath which was a bonus and the beds were comfortable. The porch was great too. We would've stayed there next year but they're already booked.

Very nice

4 days 3 night in Bodin Ski-House. House was clean. We stayed in the Second Bedroom which has no closet. The nearest one is on the other end of the house. We made it work but was not convenient. One towel for each guest was not enough for three days.

Bayfield downtown perfect house

We were a party of 5 and this house was absolutely perfect! We rented the downstairs portion of the house and never heard the family above us. Everything is so well marked on where to find extra blankets, kitchenware, etc... It's spotless and gorgeous. Great location to wander Bayfield and catch a boat ride. The owner responded to my messages immediately and was so accommodating. I would come back in a heartbeat! Thank you! Jenny

Excellent! If you're in the area stay here!

The Bodin-ski house was exactly as pictured and explained in the description. The host responded immediately to a question we had. The house was very cute, very clean and it simply felt like home. Parking was great and easy. And, so close to everything. I would definitely recommend this to anyone coming to the area and of course I'd stay here again in the future if I am in the area. It is perfect!

Bayfield Kayaking Trip

Beautiful home/property. Downtown shopping is within 2 minutes walking distance. The shore of Lake Superior is half a block away from the house. 3-4 minutes to the ferry/park. All the items we needed were stocked in the house. It was a wonderful experience.

Great location and very nice rental. Only one issue. If you ask us to take our shoes off inside then make sure the floor is clean. Our socks got pretty dirty. Small thing I know.
