Sunshine House is a bright and sunny 2BR historic farmhouse on two wooded acres, just a half-mile from downtown Bayfield. With a full kitchen and bathroom on each floor, it's perfect for a group or an extended family! From mornings on the front porch, to dinners on the picnic table and evenings around the fire pit, this is your home base for happy Lake Superior memories. Explore Bayfield and the Apostle Islands by day, then come home to peace and quiet at Sunshine House.
Host Info
Your host runs Bark Point Ventures, a vacation rental management & concierge company that specializes in properties all along Lake Superior's South Shore. We live nearby and are available whenever needed to assist our guests. Our passion is ensuring guests experience the magic of what we feel is one of the most amazing places in the world.
Neighborhood Overview
The Sunshine House is located in a quiet part of Bayfield, on the south side of town, about a short half mile walk or drive from Bayfield's main commercial district with a wide range of shops, restaurants, galleries, and the ferry landing. The home sits on a huge lot that backs up to woods and a small ravine, offering rare privacy in town.
Property Details
The Sunshine House was built in the early 1900s and maintains much of its original charm, including the cozy front porch! The first floor has a dining room, living room with TV (no cable access but able to be used with your streaming accounts), full kitchen, full bath (with a bathtub/shower combo), and a bedroom with a full bed. The second floor is more of a traditional suite-style layout, with the bed and living area in the front half of the space, and the kitchen and bathroom at the back. There are 2 additional beds in this space (one full size, and a twin trundle bed). Note: THERE IS NO AIR CONDITIONING at Sunshine House, but fans are provided for warmer days.
The front of the house features a lovely covered porch with a swing (you can take in views of the lake from here as well!). The back yard has a picnic table, gas grill, and seating around the in-ground fire pit. You'll especially enjoy the sense of privacy the yard offers, as the back yard backs up to woods and a small ravine, and there are no homes to either side. As an added "feature," there's a wonderful fish market just a block away!
Location & Transit Info
Bayfield is a very walkable city, so your best bet is on foot.
Off street parking is available in the parking area next to the house (will fit two cars side-by-side). Plenty of street parking is also available, except during Applefest weekend in October. Less than 10 minute drive to Mt. Ashwabay ski hill, Big Top Chautauqua, hiking trails, beaches, and more.
"As much as we love dogs, canine guests are NOT allowed at this property. We're happy to help you locate a dog-friendly rental should you require one."
Located in Bayfield, this vacation home is on a lake. Apostle Islands Cruises and Apostle Islands Marina are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those wishing to experience the area's natural beauty can explore Lake Superior and Apostle Islands National Lakeshore.
