Fresh flowers, personal greeting board upon entering, and snacks- such a great touch and focus on their renters! The cottage had everything you didn't even know you needed which is so appreciated since the options nearby are limited. We loved feeling secluded but so close to the beach, and a short drive to enjoy the Lakeshore and Bayfield. Even with everything that there is around to enjoy, the cottage provides so much that a few days could just be spent there relaxing.

This beautiful home had all that we were looking for and much much more. The check in process was easier and better than anywhere we have stayed before. We loved the screen porch and incredible functionality of the house and beautiful thoughtful touches everywhere. We would love to come back and stay longer soon. The fresh flowers welcoming us made the stay special.

This lovely cottage was well worth the money. It was an approximately 30 minute drive from Bayfield and wonderful to come back after a day of shopping and sightseeing. My grandchildren enjoyed the yard and games. Rob and Jenn think of everything. It was well stocked and there was nothing that I could think that we needed that we did not have. Very comfortable.

Very clean, spacious, quiet, beautifully decorated, secluded and private cottage. With everything you need and more. Communication was excellent. The owners leave snacks, extra beach towels, games for the family, foldable chairs, assortment of tea, fresh flowers, bug spray, firewood, information on area attractions and special events, etc… My family of four thinks this is the best rental we have had. They deserve recognition for the effort invested in this property.

This cottage was absolutely beautiful, it was clean and was decorated perfectly! The owners put a lot of thought into every detail. There were brochures for things to do, restaurant recommendations, fresh flowers on the counter, snacks in a basket, plenty of towels, sunscreen, bug spray, and so much more. We felt right at home. The owners were delightful and had great communication. We will definitely be back!
