EXPERIENCE BAYFIELD: The pace of life slows down in Bayfield. When you vacation here, it's easy to experience each day to its fullest.
Clan Gregor Square is the heart of our quaint community where many local festivals/carshows and you won't want to miss the farmers market in season. Pioneer Park is another local favorite—kids will love cooling down at the splash pad. There's always something happening here, whether it's morning yoga or artists painting the sunset. Wander downtown and find your new favorite cafe, and be sure to save a day to explore Bayfield's wineries and breweries! Just a few minutes away, you can enjoy an amazing wine tasting experience at Hessenland Inn & Schatz Winery.
Visit during the off-season to catch favorite annual events like VetteFest or for a girl's getaway weekend—we're happy to suggest our favorite local spas, wineries and breweries, shops, and yoga classes.
With wooded trails, scenic country vistas, and stunning Lake Huron, Bayfield is a beautiful place to explore no matter the season. Bring your hiking boots and plan a trip during leaf-peeping season for a display of color, or come enjoy the quiet of winter and crunch through the snow in evergreen forests.

Great Family Stay
As a family of four with two young children, this was a fantastic getaway for us. Both Shauna & Jennifer were very responsive and the cottage was very clean and organized. It came with everything (and then some!) We would need for kitchen supplies. We brought our senior golden retriever who also had a great visit.
The location is very private, with amenities an easy 10 minute drive away. We would definitely stay again!

Amazing sunsets and well-equipped cottage
Our family of 5 adults had the pleasure of staying at Turkey Perch cottage for a week in August. When we arrived it was super HOT (note that there is no AC, but many fans provided) and the lake is right there for a dip. As the weather cooled off significantly, we enjoyed camp fires and the hot tub, along with great meals on the BBQ. Cottage has everything you need. Small but modern kitchen with dishwasher.
Jennifer is an amazing, attentive and thoughtful host -- the best! We would happily rent from Cottage Stays again. Highly recommended.
