What a great way to enjoy Bayfield and Madeline Island! Sharon, you're a genius for sharing your boat on VRBO and I am so happy I found your listing because this is the ONLY way to stay in town overnight now. I am hooked and not to mention my twin boys. They thought it was so cool and loved every second on board.Thank YOU!! Perfect amount of space, BEAUTIFUL view of the lake, kind host and neighbors. Ten Stars for Sharon!

I get that staying on a boat is different than in a condo or hotel room, but the boat really could use a deep cleaning. There were cobwebs everywhere. There are also some basic repairs and updates that are needed to make the boat more comfortable and the features easier to use (like filing down the metal barb on the railing to the upper deck, and making it easier to open the windows for air circulation). The “couches” are incredibly uncomfortable and there’s no table that can be used to play a game of cards or eat a meal. Although the listing states there is wi-fi, there isn’t any, and this information isn’t shared until it’s too close to the reservation to change your mind.

We had never stayed in such fun accommodations and were thrilled at the location as well. Our hostess was very communicative while the location might’ve been difficult it was so easy. Next time we will choose better weather ! We took 3 hour tour by boat around most of the ApostleIslands. Beautiful.

It was a lovely and unique stay on the boat. My daughter loved it. It would have been prudent to mention the bathroom situation though. We had to use the Marine facilities to shower and use the toilet. It was inconvenient and if I knew this ahead of time, I probably would have booked a different Vrbo.

I LOVED the unique experience of sleeping on this boat, floating with the waves and an easy breeze and llite rain! The neighbors were all very nice and welcoming! It’s exactly what you would expect from a boat! So glad I tried it!

I booked this stay as a surprise for my daughter and 2 daughter-in-laws. I was the one surprised. In the bathroom, there is mold in the corner ceiling of the shower. An electric cord runs on counter behind sink with a lamp on the side of the sink, with dirty ring around it. Another electric cord runs under the low cabinet over the sink and is held up with a clip. You have to use a coffee cup to fill water in toilet. One bedroom with twin beds has an older electric heater between the beds and next to the small dresser. Looked dangerous. Main part of boat is cluttered with used candles, extension cords. The one shelf is lined with used old candles, and the shelf itself is gritty with dirt. Odds and ends of dishes and glasses. Water from the filter on kitchen sink tastes bad. Coffee, peanut butter in cupboard, butter and packs of condiments in refrigerator. must have been left by past quests. Ceilings yellow with age. The positive side, Beds were comfortable and linens were nice and clean. We felt safe in this marina. Sharon was helpful and friendly. Beautiful view of the Lake. Most unique experience to stay on a boat. However, I would never stay on this boat again, too many nice places to stay on or near the lake. A note on the refrigerator asked for a 5 star. I give it a 1 star at best. The pictures are much nicer than what is real. I did take several photos of the problems.

First off I’ve never done a review and it took me a day to really think about what I wanted to say. I never want to hurt anyone’s business but I was so disappointed. There were so many many issues, The boat was not in the condition shown as on the pictures (I understand they are only pictures not reality) but they should be close. I say everything that was wrong I’ll just tell the most upsetting things. 1st and most important Sharon’s husband/ boyfriend walk up to our family and was talking to then said “I’m going home to “smoke” (this site won’t let me say exactly what he said but I’m sure you can read between the lines)and watch Carol Burnett” who says that to a family) then tells us that we’re not actually staying in a “marina” like the website states that we’re actually “staying in an old boat yard.” The first night was awful all I all you could smell was urin “like I was an old outhouse” my husband was able to make it better the second night by putting a cup over the sink drain and He put a fan in the bathroom window to vent it outside. The last two things were the freezer was so iced over it looks like it hasn’t been cleaned in a very long time and the owner offered us to use the grill but it was so full of cobwebs it wasn’t even an option. There are so many other things but like I said the major one is who comes up to her family and says that about “smoking” You may ask “why I didn’t leave after the first night” well believe me I tried but everything in Bay Field was booked we walked around town and looked and we had excursion booked. Very sad and disappointed

While the boat was a little dated and could use a little maintenance, THE VIEW!! You dont go to Bayfield to sit inside. Already planning a return visit for a longer stay.

We loved the central location to the town. The owner was great about making sure we had everything we needed. Nothing fancy here but all we needed. Not a fan of the bathroom but we made it work. The kids enjoyed fishing from the boat and playing around with the raft.

My wife and I have been to Bayfield many times and wanted to stay someplace different. This was an excellent choice. I've had a boat before and knew what to expect but this may not be for everybody. The boat was great and the bathrooms and showers were conveniently close. It was nice to be able to walk to downtown. I would recommend this to anyone who was to get away from the tourists and enjoy some local people and a beautiful view.

My 3 friends and I stayed for the weekend. The boat was very clean and well supplied with everything we needed. We were very comfortable in it. We enjoyed how close it is to downtown and the ferry. We enjoyed sitting on the deck morning and evening. We plan on staying again.
