About this property

Lake Shore Home with private dock and large deck--1 mile from Bayfield

Welcome to Bay Top Lake House in Bayfield Wisconsin, a fun and relaxing 3,200 sq ft vacation home rental located approximately 1 mile North of beautiful Bayfield with over 300 ft of shoreline, large deck on the scenic shores of Lake Superior. Life is good when you stay at Bay Top Lake House!

When you walk into this vast vacation home you will first be taken away when you see a large octagon shaped main living room area with amazing views of Lake Superior, a large stone fireplace, piano area, and comfortable chairs to just sit and look at the lake. Just off the main living room area you will be welcomed to both the spacious kitchen and dining room area or you can walk out on the 1,200 sq ft deck to catch the sunrises and to relax.

This well cared for vacation home consists of a first floor master suite with king bed featuring views of Lake Superior and the Apostle Islands and en-suite bathroom. A large walk in closet completes the master bedroom. There is a 2nd bedroom with a queen bed with lake views located on the bottom floor walk out basement area of the home. A second bathroom with a tile shower is located just outside the 2nd bedroom. A third sleeping area with 2 twin beds also enjoys views of Lake Superior.

The 2nd level walk out basement area is an entertainers dream as it also has views of Lake Superior. Enjoy time sitting in front of a 2nd large brick fireplace or in the pool hall playing piano or a game of pool. The 2nd level also hosts an additional kitchen plus a separate TV room and a pull out couch.

Wander the 3+ acre parcel of land and enjoy the natural beauty of the lake, hardwood and evergreen trees and occasional sightings of Bayfield area wildlife. Enjoy a peaceful Lake Superior getaway only minutes from the attractions, shops and restaurants in downtown Bayfield, WI.

Winter stays will require a 4 wheel drive vehicle as our driveway has an incline and snow isn't removed daily.

Security Cameras In Use:
Similar to most vacation rentals, we have security cameras on the property. One is located at the corner of the home facing the driveway. In addition, we have a Ring Doorbell located at the front door and one at the back door on the basement level facing the lake.

Beautiful and Relaxing Property

Stunning views, clean house, relaxing atmosphere! Monica was wonderful to work with and the house had everything we needed (including super comfy beds). We absolutely loved our stay here! The kids fished, played pool, played piano and loved being able to have campfires while relaxing in the hammocks. A perfect getaway spot to relax and regroup away from the regular routines and chaos of schedules.

Long weekend in Bayfield

We had a fabulous, relaxing weekend and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house exceeded our expectations and was perfect for our group (2 couples). The kitchen was well supplied with everything we needed to make our meals and the fire pit was a perfect place to sit around after dinner to enjoy the evenings. Highly recommend this property.

About the host

Hosted by Monica Temperly

Host profile image
I love Bayfield, WI and Topanga, CA. That is why I named my rental home "Bay Top Lake House." I love the draw of Lake Superior and the Santa Monica Mountains and feel both areas provide a quiet and relaxing space to clear your mind. I don't travel to many areas as I always find myself wanting to head to Bayfield, WI to enjoy Lake Superior. I think you will find it to be a very SUPERIOR place to visit. :)

Why they chose this property

Bay Top Lake House is a very relaxing and welcome place to stay right on the shores of Lake Superior. I have been visiting Bayfield for 30 years and was drawn to the lake on day 1 of my time there.

What makes this property unique

Bay Top Lake House is a well-kept home with a large deck just 1 mile from Bayfield, WI. It's a peaceful and quiet setting, but so close to town. You will have access to the water and it's not on busy Highway 13.
