Apostle Is.'s gateway/next scenic marinas/fireplace/jacuzzi/corner w 4 windows

I call it a 'Honeymoon' condo due to the feel to me with the fireplace and jet tub.
It is simple with everything you need if you are not planning to need a stove. We offer an efficiency kitchenette, see amenities.

Our 2nd floor ( stairs only ) condo includes lots of natural light being a corner unit with 4 windows on 3 of 4 walls. This provides an airy feeling and the option for lots of fresh air in our condo including cross breeze.

Our property is tucked in the woods just down the road ( a stones throw or a short block) from the marina which provides the pool and a gorgeous view of Chequamegon Bay of Lake Superior which is right at the entrance of the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore.

In the photos, I provide a photo of the lake. This is a lake view from Port Superior Marina. This is not a view from our condo. Our condo is tucked in a heavily wooded area 3 miles S of downtown Bayfield. We are near the Adventure Club Brewery, mt biking trails, Brownstone hiking trail, downhill ski lifts, Big Top music venue, golf course & 2 marinas.


We are located near Big Top music venue. If you are in Bayfield for this outdoor tent concert up on the hill, then this is an awesome location for you. We are close at about 1-2 miles since the venue is on the S. side of town as we are. There is a Big Top shuttle van to conveniently transport you to and from with service to the front door. We love to take advantage of this service. They have a pickup spot next door to the condo with a schedule on line.

This unit is perfect for a romantic getaway which we have decorated with a nautical feel. You will find a variety of options for outdoor enthusiasts.

There a variety of inside tourist options as well such as shopping, museums, & breweries. Enjoy all the beauty of Bayfield Wi, on Lake Superior. This is a charming town, which was rated #2 in the nation for coastal towns which provides many options for a variety of interest.

Our rental includes access to the outdoor pool next door at Port Superior Marina with a beautiful view of the Marina and Bay. There is a cute shortcut by crossing the little bridge just past the dumpsters on the left ( when the dumpsters are on your left ) This pool is a little further down the road at the marina and can be found behind the restaurant which is a delightful place to eat with charming atmosphere and beautiful balcony overlooking the pool and bay.

There is a trail which is 2.5 miles long which runs along Lake Superior from above Pikes Bay marina to downtown next to Blackhawk marina. This so very scenic and enjoyable. It ranges from easy to fairly easy in use. You are allowed to walk or bike ( no motorized vehicles ). It's truly a treat with a variety of terrains, a gorge, historic markers and ... The Pikes Bay marina is a stones throw from our condo at Brookside. You can walk 1/2 down the driveway, cross the bridge, take a left, walk to Port Superior marina, take another left to Pikes Bay, then up Pikes Bay driveway ( steep hill ), turn into the middle condo driveway to your right, follow along about a block to the trail head marked, 'Brownstone' trail. It'll be about 3 miles total from the condo doorstep to the Bayfield downtown. I love it so much that I'd like everyone to know it's available.

Winter:
This off season is much quieter. It is actually one of my favorite times of the year to spend in Bayfield. The community offers a wide variety of sports and activities. I will include these in the list of my recommended things to do in the winter.

13. Take in a scenic drive along Lake Superior to Cornocopia which is about 30 miles. This small town offers good food, a marina, shops, and hiking.
14. Stop by the Distillery just about a mile outside of Bayfield. They offer a fantastic outdoor atmosphere with heaters and a drink menu which is worth the time.

Spring/Summer/Fall :
You’ll be near mountain biking trails, hiking, biking, nature, Apostles Islands including Madeline Island which is available by ferry. After an adventurous day exploring,
Enjoy the ambiance of the fireplace & a jacuzzi tub. Next to 2 marinas.
You may also enjoy the outdoor grill, seating and fire pit on the Brookside Hideaway grounds. Another easy option at the end of the day after sightseeing is a walk to Portside restaurant . This restaurant is a stone's throw from the condo or a little further down the same driveway with a good reputation for food & drinks along with a beautiful view of Portside marina. They have a new menu which is amazing. They are open Thurs.-Saturday at 4 p.m.
our condo rental also includes access to an outdoor pool which is next to the Port Superior Marina restaurant which is on the Marina grounds. The restaurant and the pool have a wonderful atmosphere and view of lake Superior.
There is an artesian well across the county road from our condo which is the source of water at our condo. It is so very delicious. I advise bringing a couple of water bottles.
Thankyou for looking at our listing. We greatly appreciate your interest : )
( Note: stays of 5 days or more are eligible to be billed an extra cleaning fee of $25 for linens & additional cleaning cost incurred. )

We would love to hear your inquiries.

Small, but adequate
Not ideal for a couple in their late 70's, recovering from a recent heart attack - lots of outside steps to the second floor suite. Only one easy chair, the other one of us had to sit on a straight-backed chair, or in bed. Fortunately, we didn't spend much time in the suite. The kitchenette had everything we needed to prepare a light breakfast and supper. Pleasant atmosphere, and certainly adequate.

The location was great! It was close enough to all of the attractions, but still remote enough in the woods that it felt very private. Room was clean and welcoming and had everything we needed/expected for our stay. Would definitely recommend this room.

Bayfield/Madeline Island Get-Away
The condo unit was immaculate. It was on an upper level with outdoor stairs. I would mention that in the property description (if it is, I missed it...) as that's somewhat difficult for me. On the particular morning that I was there, the maintenance people started their outdoor work prior to checkout, which was not great. Very loud powerwasher on the decking.

Lovely, spacious rental near Bayfield
This is a terrific 2nd floor rental condo just outside of Bayfield. The room is very large and boasts windows on 3 sides for wonderful cross ventilation and light. There is a nicely stocked kitchenette with refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker with supplies, toaster and toaster oven. Dishes, glassware and utensils are conveniently stored at the high top dining table. A grill and an outdoor dining table make it simple to have a full meal onsite if desired. The room is thoughtfully decorated and comfortably appointed with good bed linens and plenty of nice towels. A comfy armchair recliner provides a great spot from which to enjoy the television with multiple streaming channels, after a big day of sightseeing. The host was excellent in providing contact information in case of need, and sharing helpful tips on amenities and services. For us, the close proximity to Big Top Chautauqua was a draw. We hope to return to Bayfield and Brookside Hideaway very soon.

Fantastic place and so willing to help with little things..
Everything was in great order and went fine. My only concern was the mattress and bed was not comfortable for Chrystal and I. It did not support our backs and the other problem is if you moved it made noises and woke each other up the first 2 nights. Like to see a more comfortable bed. Otherwise everything was great...and a superb time was had by us...

Cute little getaway.
This idyllic hideaway was the perfect place for a base of operations while experiencing Bayfield. I only wish I had payed closer attention to the property description, so I would have realized it was a 2nd story. But we managed just fine. Personally, I thought it was a good value, considering the close proximity to the attractions in the area. Were we to return, we would check the availability of this place again.
