10/10 Excellent
"We were here for a night and it was a wonderful time. Front desk staff is friendly and accommodating! Our room was exactly as described and pictured. Conveniently close to Kwik Trip and other stores. There’s a little grass area for your pet’s potty business. Will definitely consider booking again in the future!"

"The room was clean and very well maintained. The furniture was very nice and cozy with lots of seating. The view of Lake Superior was amazing on the balcony and from the side window. Since we had a cool, windy evening the fireplace was very cozy. The complimentary coffee at The Sandbar Cafe was a nice added touch. We will definitely try to come back again."

Seagull Bay Motel

10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful location within easy 5-10 minute walking distance to downtown Bayfield shops, restaurants, and the ferry to Madeline Island. We were there for peak fall leaves color. The view of the lake, the island, the small marina, the trees, and the sunrise from the cozy furniture on the deck outside our door was amazing. It is a motel, so there is the potential for noise from the vehicles that park outside the rooms, but it was a non-issue. Our stay was peaceful, pleasant, and perfect."

Private Beach and Endless Water

Private Beach and Endless Water

8/10 Good
"The place was fine. It did the trick and we had a great time. However, I feel we overpaid to be honest. The endless beach was not endless. In fact, it was quite small. Maybe 50-80ft. The beach access was also across the street and down the road. Based on the description and pictures, I was lead to believe this was a waterfront property. It is not. The cleanliness of the trailer itself left something to be desired. It was by no means bad, but dusty, a bit buggy, lots of cobwebs, and there was a load of wet laundry in the washing machine when we got there. Also, the vacuum was left in the middle of the main room which we thought was odd. Again, we very much enjoyed our stay and the place did what it needed to do. But it was expensive compared to other options on the island, and it’s not waterfront like we had hoped which was quite disappointing."
