Family Trip

Perfect for our trip with adult children. Enough space to not feel cramped, but cozy. Home was well appointed and just as described. Fenced in yard and use of garage a huge bonus! Great communication from our host. The area is so lovely with many things to do and see. We look forward to staying again.

Historic House

Perfect place for our mini vacation. Lots of activities to close to this house. Kitchen had the basics and there were plenty of towels for the bathrooms. Host was very accommodating and easy to work with. We would return to this house if we vacation in the area again.

Nice Experience!

The house worked well for our "Core Four" family: Mom, Dad, and two adult daughters. Each of us had our own space, and the dining room was a lovely place to have a couple of family meals. We especially loved the outdoor fireplace area where we roasted hot dogs, made s'mores, and had a singalong around the fire. Our border collie loved the big yard!

Perfect Summer Family Vacation Spot

The house is a beautiful old home that has a combination of old charm and modern conveniences. The interior was very comfortable and the backyard was great for a family cookout and volleyball game. The location is in a wonderful small town close to many activities. We picked blueberries, went to the County Fair, hiked Houghton Falls, saw a show at the Big Top, disc golfed in Ashland, took a ferry to Madeline Island, spent afternoons on the beach with the unbelievably clear water of Lake Superior and enjoyed the shops and restaurants in Bayfield. Mary was responsive and helpful when we had questions.

Historic charm with modern amenities

Beautiful historic home in the equally historic city of Washburn WI on the shores of Lake Superior. From the timeless brick fireplaces in the main living room and the primary bedroom to the quiet reading space at the rear of the house to the modern appointments and amenities of the remodeled kitchen, this home was the perfect long weekend get away for us! There is also a wonderful outdoor gathering space with a fire pit, though the weather during our visit did not allow for it’s use. The location is close to dining establishments and the outdoor activities this area has to offer. Looking forward to staying here again.

Fabulous HUGE house!

We absolutely loved staying here! The house is even more beautiful than the pictures, with hardwood floors, high ceilings, and a wonderful great room with a working, cozy fireplace stocked with wood. There was plenty of room for 3 couples and two singletons. Kitchen is well-stocked, and Mary was a dream to work with. Although we came to ski, Houghton Falls hiking trail, South Shore Brewery, and The Snug with live music were all minutes away. Oh yeah, and that one lake. Yard is fenced in for our dogs! What a bonus! Couldn't ask for a better place to stay.

Book Across the Bay Stay

We were the first official overnight guests. We stayed 2 nights and did the Book Across the Bay from Ashland and the Bike Across the Bay from Washburn as well as watching the sled dog race in Iron River. The house was awesome and we enjoyed wood fires both evenings. Made breakfasts in the kitchen. Nice to have refrigerator, coffee maker, dishwasher, microwave and stove. Awesome house and experience and location. Only other comments would be that beds were hard and that there should be wastebaskets and in the bathrooms. Thanks!

Welcome Home

We had a wonderful stay at the Stately Home. It was very comfortable with a lot of space for my family (6 adults). It provided everything we wanted, spacious kitchen, dining room, huge living room & comfortable bedrooms. Visiting in the winter we didn’t have the opportunity to enjoy the deck & backyard, but are looking forward to staying at the Stately for our 2025 holiday getaway.
