Waterfront vacation rentals in Bayfield

We had the best time at Tabitha’s! Everything was beautiful! We look forward to coming back on our next trip!

An incredible space at the end of a private drive, overlooking the lake. The space was warm and welcoming, literally and figuratively! Loved the front sitting room with floor to ceiling windows to sit and sip coffee and enjoy the views. The proximity to the neighboring Houghton Falls preserve was enjoyed using the trail on the property. Peaceful, relaxing, made use of the large fire pit outdoors with the lake in the background. Close enough to town if you forget something and need to run in real quick, otherwise peaceful privacy to enjoy nature and the beautiful surroundings.

This was a beautiful location for a relaxing vacation. The property manager was very responsive and friendly. I recommend that you reach out to him before your visit since you will be interacting with him rather than Evolve.

My family and I were very happy with: the location, the great water view from the balcony, the attached bookstore (a must visit), everything you need in Bayfield being within walking distance (including the ferries to the Apostle Islands & the Saturday morning farmer's market), the long list of amenities in the apartment, the cleanliness of the apartment, easily accessible parking spaces, and the quick and thorough responses from the hosts. Some patrons at the bar next door were laughing & having fun a little loudly outside on Friday night when we were going to bed, but the sound machines that were available in each of the bedrooms easily took care of it for us. (Saturday night, the patrons were quiet, but we still enjoyed using the sound machines.) We needed help with the airbed and the hosts took care of it promptly. We would definitely stay here again!

If you are fortunate enough, to spend some time on Minnesota’s North Shore, you won’t be disappointed staying here. Brenda and Tom‘s place is exactly as described. It is more than we expected. It is clean, beautifully decorated, and a lovely place to spend a vacation. The location is perfect and so scenic! We enjoyed sitting on the deck and even spotted an Eagle! We had a wonderful time hiking and exploring the surrounding area, including Gooseberry Falls, Grand Marais, and the quaint town of Two Harbors.

Pearl and Jim are great hosts, very easygoing and always helpful. The apartment is the lower unit, exactly as described. From the great window in the main room to the wonderful deck, large bathroom, comfortable bedroom with plenty of closet and drawer space, everything worked well. The garden and lawn that lead down to a small private beach are beautifully landscaped. The apartment was spotless and comfortable.

The accommodations exceeded my expectations. It was even better in person. The amenities (toiletries, towels, sheets, bathrobes) were worthy of a 5 star hotel. The view of Lake Superior was beautiful! It was fun to be able to look south and see Canal Park and downtown Duluth. Just a block away from biking/walking Lakewalk trail that goes all the way to Canal Park! Grocery store a block away. The only thing that detracted from it at all was being on the main road from Duluth to the North Shore. I didn't pay attention to that when I booked. There is a fair amount of road noise all day long and even sometimes at night. If you're a light sleeper it might be a problem. However it's worth it to bring ear plugs and crank up the fan that's available in the bedroom to drown out the noise!

Such a great location! We just visited Applefest and the Annex is only 11 minutes away. We absolutely loved walking down to the beach, it’s a little private walk down the hill to a secluded beach with beautiful rocks and sea glass. The Annex #1 was the perfect size for two people, and so clean. We will definitely be back next year!

We arrived at the house in sub zero temperatures and were very happy to be inside the house with the wonderful radiant heated floors. Warm and cozy! Comfortable beds and warm blankets made for restful nights. The view of the bay is beautiful. Moon rising over the horizon reflected on the ice . We heard Great Horned Owls hooting in the distance. Next visit we hope to come in the summer or fall to walk around more and see the lake. Thanks again!

Staying at Jeff and Susan’s was as easy as it gets— smooth check-in, beautiful location with wildlife out the back door (deer routinely passing through the yard), timely responses to questions, and minimal checkout process. Plenty of spices and cookware to feel like a home away from home. Home was very clean and watching the sunset over the lake from the living room never got old. Will certainly be staying here again!

WR THOROUGHLY ENJOYED OUR ONE WEEK STAY AND HAVE ALREADY BOOKED THE SAME WEEK NEXT YEAR.

Our family of four had a most enjoyable and relaxing stay here. I have no hesitation in recommending this location and the kind hosts. It made for a great relaxing and peaceful retreat near the Duluth area. It was an easy drive to Duluth and the North Shore. We would definitely choose to return if there was an opportunity to do so.

The retreat on the lake was a beautiful place to spend a few days. We were there in the winter, and it was a nice cozy atmosphere to be in. The lake is beautiful, and there are beautiful walking trails in the neighborhood. There is a nice little community beach which would be great in the summer. Ashley was a very helpful and responsive host. Thank you!

Jennifer's place is wonderful and peaceful and relaxing. The setting is amazing and the house is cozy and clean. The yard and trails are beautiful and it's an incredibly beautiful location. I would definitely go again.

Our entire family enjoyed Bay Top Lake house. Beautiful surroundings - coffee on the dock, lunch and dinners on the deck and star watching at night. Private yet close to Bayfield for easy access to Madeline Island and Apostle Island tours. Monica is a wonderful host - great communication and the house had many thoughtful touches. Would give Monica and the home a ten if possible!!!

Very nice experience. It was an unbelievablely beautiful house (photos don't do it justice). The hosts were friendly and helpful.

This was our second stay here. The hosts are helpful and responsive. We were so comfortable and the place is so central. We love it!

Clean and quiet with a nice view. End unit a plus.

We loved our stay here! We had 9 women staying for a girls trip and there was plenty of space for us all if you don’t mind sharing a room. Everyone got their own bed! The entire condo was super clean too. I appreciated that the fridge and freezer were totally empty when we arrived - I don’t love when Airbnbs keep condiments in the fridge from previous guests. I will miss having coffee in the morning from the balcony, the view is incredible and the sun hits the patio all morning. We loved that within 5 minutes we could walk to dinner, shopping, the Madeline island ferry, and our sailing outing. We didn’t have to use our cars once all weekend! Parking was easy. We cooked dinner in the kitchen one night and found it well stocked. Lots of towels were provided in bathrooms. We used the TV to stream music and movies easily as well. The fireplace was used on evening as well and was nice and cozy. My only feedback would be to provide a few more rolls of TP and get a larger coffee pot!

Beautiful location with a great view of the lake and cliffs! Loved the wood burning fireplace.

We really enjoyed our time in Two Harbors. The location of this property was nice and secluded. We enjoyed the geese, walking trails, sauna, community room, and overall atmosphere. Missy was very quick, responsive, and kind. Thank you, God Bless!

We had a wonderful time at Gary’s place! We spent the weekend riding atv and this condo has amazing location to get to the trails with lots of extra parking close by. Gary’s place had lots of space with a great view of the lake! Very nice condo!

This spot is a gem! We spent a beautiful weekend here with my family- and my kids are already asking when we can go back. Amazing views, lots of privacy in this beautiful and comfortable condo. We could have spent all weekend in the very fun pool and wandering the shores of Lake Superior. The location is also amazing jumping off point for exploring. Don’t miss Cedar Coffee in Two Harbors. We also went north to check out split rock and the black beach and south to the new scenic cafe, Duluth grill, and summer adventures and spirit mountain. The condo has three suites which offer nice space for each member of your party. Perfect for our family of five, and would also be great for a few families or a girls trip. The spot was easy to access and Karen was really responsive. I cannot wait to go back!

We really enjoyed our stay. We were there 6 days / 5 nights. Loved the cabin, the lake, conveniently included boat and kayaks. Close to the nearest town, Iron River, but not too close. The perfect vacation. Air BnB wants me to list both pros and cons; the ONLY cons i can think of is there wasn't stairs leading off the back porch, so its a big step. Not that big of a deal at all. And the other thing would be the bathroom layout. It would be more comfortable if the sink and toilet locations were swapped. As is, the toilet puts the user right up against the wall and door, but that's being real nit-picky. Honestly, we loved everything about our stay and will book again in the future. Thank you for everything!
