We enjoyed our stay here. The apartment was beautiful and right in the middle of all activities we needed. We toured the Apostle Islands by a Boat Cruise which was walking distance from the place. It was a wonderful vacation place.

The Blue Grotto in Bayfield

The outside of the property is a bit rustic and in need of maintenance, but once inside the rental is quite nice. The Blue Grotto is well appointed and furnished. The space is larger than expected and very clean. The apartment is well located within walking distance of all that Bayfield has to offer.

Property was as described, very convenient to downtown Bayfield and the waterfront. Host very responsive. Comfortable and well appointed. Decorating/paint and ceiling was dark, perhaps an acquired taste but overall a good place.

Great Location!

Located on the main drag of Bay Field and within walking distance to everything. Extremely clean with a large kitchen and living space. Perfect for 3 of us, but would fit a family of 4 with the pullout bed and large couch. We spent many hours in the evening sitting on the back deck looking at the lake. We will be back!

Wonderful Property and Location!

My husband and I had a great stay. The location is great, and the decor, furnishings, etc. are impeccable. Owners were very responsive. The only thing inside that could be improved would be instructions in the binder on how to use the heat. After the first night, we communicated with the owners and they explained what to do. The only criticism of the property is that the outside could use some maintenance. The interior was gorgeous and we loved our stay very much! Thank you!

Great location

Loved being able to walk to everything in town. A little grocery store is right across the street, so very convenient. Everything was clean and tidy. Kitchen was well stocked with essential items. Two personal preferences... there is plenty of lighting choices in the unit, but most all the lights are very dim appearing. Even with blinds open we had to have pretty much every light in the unit on to be able to see comfortably. Even the bedside table lamp was so dim I had trouble reading at night! I think some higher wattage bulbs would help. Other issue is the trash/recycle cans in the kitchen are small/8 gallon size. As a family of 4 who made just about every meal in the unit, this was too small! I brought standard kitchen trash bags and they were too large to use in the cans. Both of these are small things that can be overlooked, however the reason we would not stay again was the noise from the downstairs unit. No reviews mentioned any issues with noise, so I don't know if it is regular tennents or another rental below, but we had issues with noise every night we were there. The first and third nights the noise died down around 930pm, so not terrible, but the second night it was nearly midnight! So loud we were being woke up and/or couldn't fall asleep...banging, voices, coughing etc. and we had early starts each day; so frustrating! However, I did not reach out the owners because I did not want to disturb so late on 2nd night and our stay was just 3 nights.
