There are well maintained and well marked walking trails throughout the community. A five minute walk to Lake Superior is a breeze. The cabin was a cozy home away from home. We greatly enjoyed our stay!

Cute and clean cabin. Fully loaded to cook and hangout. Very close to town too. Only negative is the master bedroom bed was very firm - almost like sleeping on the ground. Otherwise, a great cabin!

Lovely cabin in a wonderful community

We enjoyed our stay here very much. The cabin was charming, clean, and comfortable. The cherry on top of this rental was the surprisingly beautiful and serene Brickyard Creek trail right outside our door!

4th of July Retreat

The cabin provided a relaxing and secluded retreat close to the shores of Lake Superior with all the modern amenities. The location was excellent only a short walk to a beach and close by the town of Bayfield where we enjoyed the Apostle Island attractions. Hosts were great communicating all the details and made the rental process easy. A great place to stay for enjoying all that the Apostle Islands and surrounding outdoors has to offer!

Super cute cabin just outside of town

Our family of four stayed at this adorable cabin just north of Bayfield. The cabin was appointed well with everything we needed for the stay and the hosts were great communicators and thought of everything to make our stay comfortable. The porch was perfect for morning coffee and relaxing time, and the cabin is just a short drive into all the fun town of Bayfield has to offer. We would definitely recommend this property!!

Modern Cabin in the Woods

The Superior Sanctuary was lovely - it had all the furnishings and space we were looking for. It is located close to downtown Bayfield and is 20 minutes from other areas and attractions. The hosts were communicative and we were generally prepared for our stay.

Cozy cottage in the woods!

I loved staying at this cottage! The location is perfect, surrounded by woods but close to Bayfield and the Apostles. The cottage is a perfect blend of functional and cozy. We stayed during a snowstorm and it was absolutely magical to see the snow on the trees outside and warm up by the fireplace. The host was very responsive to questions I had before the stay and made sure everything went smoothly. I'd definitely book again next time I'm heading up north.

Wonderful place to stay!

The house was perfect for two couples! The kitchen is a great size and the fireplace was very welcoming. We sat in the screen porch for a short time when the sun hit it at the right angle. I imagine it is a fabulous place to eat or hang out in during warm weather. The place is updated and in great shape! Thank you for sharing it with us!

Cousins’ trip

The house/ property was great and perfect for a peaceful and relaxing weekend with 3 cousins. Place was very clean and had everything we needed. Hammock chairs on the screen porch were so comfortable and a perfect spot to read and have coffee. When we arrived we noticed a small leak in the first floor bathroom sink pipes and notified the owners and they responded very quickly and had a gentleman come out right away to fix it and it didn’t recur. Highly recommend this place.

Quiet and comfortable

We hade an incredible time staying in the Brickyard Creek cottage! We enjoyed reading in the screen porch in the evenings listening to the ambient sounds of birds and nature, while being protected from the mosquitos. Very close to town and the lake while being able to have peace and quiet in our own area was the perfect combination! (our only gripe was that the couch being small and uncomfortable, not bad!)
