This is the first time I can honestly say that the room was better than depicted in photos!We stayed in the Admiral's Quarters - it was a spacious room and the bathroom was huge!The attached deck was fantastic to sit at in the morning with coffee or in the evening sipping your favorite beverage. Watching the boats come in to the harbor and listening to the kids down at the beach was very pleasant. It's a great view of the town from there as well. The location was fantastic- we walked to everything. The host was great about giving recommendations on where to eat. We used both the king bed and the pull out bed and both were comfy.One tip- make sure you visit the Bates Art Bar and order the Butter Board appetizer- IT'S FANTASTIC.we came from atving in the southern part of the county, so I was pulling a trailer. I was able to park it 2 blocks away (unattached from the truck) for 10 a day. Very convenient.
What more do you need - a beautiful property with great views and a perfect location? It was great to visit with Jack (the owner) but he also knew to give us our space and privacy. Highly recommend this property.
My two Sons and I had a wonderful stay. It was quiet, clean, well appointed, and perfectly located just a few blocks from downtown - but still high on the hill with beautiful views.
Clean and comfortable. Very well appointed. The location is perfect for getting around in Bayfield. Jack is very welcoming and has a great sense of humor. I would definitely book this property again.
The main room and the bathroom were very large! Comfy bed and sofa, great common spaces. We could walk everywhere we wanted to go. Jack, our host, was super friendly, helpful and all around great. We’d definitely recommend staying here!!!

this place was awesome the view was unbelieveable, thanks
Spacious, clean room and bathroom. Private deck to overlook town of Bayfield and Lake Superior. Self-serve breakfast. Short walking distance to docks, museums, shops and restaurants.
Pilot House was walking distance from most everything we did while in Bayfield. The B & B was very clean and had everything we needed. Jack is quite the character, we loved his sense of humor. Very pleasant experience!!
Great place with huge spaces. The bed was reallllly comfortable and the bathroom was large and super nice. Jack was an Amazing host and individual. We would have loved to stay an additional night but it was booked. Highly Recommend!
