The pictures don't do this place justice! A beautiful home with an amazing view. We had such a wonderful time exploring the Apostle Islands and the Bayfield/Cornucopia area, and this was a great place to make our home base. The host was kind and enjoyable to visit with.

Wonderful Lake Superior getaway!

My husband and I loved our weekend stay. It was important to us to find a dog friendly environment so our doodles, Vivian and Fern, could join us. The guesthouse was very private and we felt right at home. Our host, Erin, thought of all amenities including extra dog toys, which I found to be a sweet added touch. All checking in and checkout expectations were clear and helpful. Our stay was clean, comfortable, adorable and we felt safe. The view of Lake Superior was wonderful and loved the fireplace. We definitely recommend staying here if you are ever in the area. Thank you Erin for the lovely weekend getaway.

Stunning views & great host

We absolutely loved our stay at Sky Fire! The location can't be beat - the sunsets are incredible. The kitchen was very well equipped and we felt right at home. Eli was staying next door and was so welcoming and kind!! Also loved that our dog, Penny, was welcome to join! Will definitely be visiting again some day!!!

What a lovely wooded lakeside retreat!

We were a family gathering together for a few days at peak fall color. We all loved the home, the view, the fireplace and the quiet community. We took advantage of the two suggested hikes nearby, which were both wonderful. And Lake Superior is always beautiful.

We returned to Skye Fire for the second time.

We enjoyed our first week at Skype Fire in 2021 and looked forward to a return this summer with our two young grandkids. The home is comfortable. Well equipped kitchen, loads of fresh towels and a beautiful view of Lake Superior. Hope to return again soon.

Comfortable and quiet

My husband, son and I spent a long weekend relaxing, hiking, and enjoying the view. The cabin was clean and well stocked. Erin communicated well and even made sure we had an instapot for our chili. Despite the rain and lack of winter snow, we still found plenty of beaches and trails to explore nearby.

Great getaway

This is a lovely place to get away and unplug. The house is well-kept and nicely appointed. We didn't find ourselves lacking anything we expected. The view of the lake is fantastic, with glorious sunsets. The only downside is that there were a lot of mosquitos (early July). Be prepared with several types of insect repellant.

AWESOME!

You walk into the cabin and there "she", Lake Superior, is in all her glory. We had spectacular views of Lake Superior and could see all the way to Minnesota. The only bad thing about the cabin was the furniture was dirty and full of dog hair. The furniture was also very uncomfortable. Other than that, we had a good time.

Trash in yard

This from my sister, Gail Trowbridge. I was ill and unable to come. Property was completely open including windows. Garage was open. Lots of trash scattered about yard (animals?). Mice in kitchen. Kind of creepy goat artwork, but that’s personal taste.

Too many mosquitos in the house

The house itself was fine and had a great view. However, we had a big problem with mosquitoes inside and outside. We initially thought they got in the house when we were bringing in bags, but after killing dozens, they kept appearing. We could not go outside or keep the windows open. We only rented for two days and three nights and had to leave early. We reached out to our contact and did not hear back. In addition, the lawn was overgrown and a landscaper came to mow the lawn during our second of two days. The mosquitos made it a very unpleasant stay.

Disappointed

I really regret posting this review. I sent the owner an email with pictures on stains on the couch, garbage lid dirty, inside door of dishwasher dirty, rusting base board heaters and inside the sink base cabinet was filthy. This was all upon check-in. Not what you'd expect from the great location of this VRBO. I've stayed in a lot of them. I refrained from posting any of this and sent an email that the general public would not see. That was on July 4th, a couple of days after our trip. I received no response. I sent a 2nd email on July 14th and no response. I was just trying to be kind and share with the owner the things we saw. I figured they are paying for someone to clean the property and thought they would appreciate the feedback. I'm not sure why the owner could not respond to me. I explained I was not asking for anything, rather just sharing our experience with him or her. After not receiving any response from the owner, we would not stay at this property again.

Great place to stay!

Wonderful place! The kitchen had everything we needed. The space was beautiful and the check in and out was very easy. Only thing to note (and it was unusually when we were there) no air conditioning. This was fine for a couple of nights. The last night was really warm and hard to sleep. Other than that fantastic place!

Fantastic Apostle Islands vacation!

We had a wonderful time at this rental. With 2 adults and 3 kids and a dog, we had everything we needed plus more! Amazing view of Lake Superior, hammock, fire pit, kid friendly ace throwing, dog friendly, close to everything but tucked away, private, wooded, absolutely gorgeous location. And the owners were really nice and helpful. We will be back!

Beautiful View!

The view from this home is beautiful and the setting is quite serene. The home itself needs some attention, it looks like they are in the process of doing some touch up work on a lot of the walls, the ice maker is still broken, and the steps were broken. The house itself was pretty dirty which I was disappointed with. From reading the other reviews I am hoping it was just a one off. The house has great potential, it just needs some TLC. The host provided a very detailed binder of information on the area, which was much appreciated.

Wonderful home. Beautiful view. Super quiet. Loved that we could bring our dog. Would definitely recommend. It is a guest house connected to another home but no one but us was there. If privacy is important just check the other side of home will be vacant during your stay.
