About this house rental
3 bedroom cozy cottage with well equipped kitchen & great social spaces in living & dining rooms. Sleeps 6 with comfortable new mattresses & fluffy down-comforters. Includes washer/dryer, WIFI, & air conditioning. 1 acre property has a bonfire ring and furnished indoor/outdoor patios. We are located in Bayfield County WI just blocks from downtown Washburn's & Lake Superior's Chequamegon Bay. Ideally located to enjoy all four seasons of northwoods & lake life during your vacation. Truly your home away from home in quiet Washburn Wisconsin. Come stay and relax…you’re on lake/trail time!
Only 12 miles from Bayfield, Wisconsin, Madeline Island Ferry & the Apostle Islands.
Driftwood Cottage is tucked in the small quiet town of Washburn Wisconsin, nested between the Chequamegon National Forest and Lake Superior’s Chequamegon Bay. Just recently renovated using red oak hardwood flooring and whitewashed reclaimed cedar ceilings, this 1,400 square foot, 3 bedroom, 1 ½ bath cozy cottage is full of charm and quirky vintage decor. In the fully stocked kitchen you will find white carrera marble countertops, northwood birch kitchen cabinets, and a beautiful hand built farm table.
Other special highlights include a unique living room pallet wall made from reclaimed hardwoods where you can relax and put your feet up after a long day exploring the great outdoors. Access to Netflix on the flat screen TV is provided for those cozy nights you want to spend inside! Enjoy gathering around the dining room table for supper where afterwards you will find a cupboard stocked with dozens of board games and puzzles.
Our nearly one acre property has a bon-fire ring with adirondack chairs as well as an outdoor patio complete with a comfortable wrought iron dining table and seating for 6. If ATVing is your passion you can access ATV routes and trails directly from our property. Even if it rains, our indoor patio is the perfect space to curl up with a good book and watch the whitetail deer come to feed from our crabapple tree at dusk.
Just a short walk into town, you can enjoy several local eateries offering wood fired pizza, irish scotch eggs, locally caught fish fry, homemade seasonal soups, and fresh baked breads. We even have a local brewery with a tasting room. While in town, enjoy the Washburn walking trail which stretches along 1.34 miles of Lake Superior’s Chequamegon Bay shorelines. Here you will discover 3 sandy beaches where you can look for beach glass and driftwood, or just simply watch the sunrise. This is also a perfect place to fill up your water bottle from the artesian well, put your sea kayak in the water and take in the views of sandstone cliffs. Make sure to stop by our town’s quaint shops including sweets, local art, antiques, books, local pottery, and handmade jewelry just to name a few.
Winter in our area is something you will never forget with plenty of snow packed trails for cross country skiing, snowshoeing, winter hiking, biking, and snowmobiling. Directly from our property you can access the snowmobile trailhead, just blocks away. Here you can explore over 600 miles of groomed snowmobile trails and forest roads which take you through the Chequamegon National Forest trails as well as the famous Tristate corridor trail system. Don’t forget to try out snowshoeing in our local nature center located just outside of town. When the bay here on Lake Superior freezes over it’s time for ice fishing, hiking the trails, and fat tire cycling to see the ice caves.

We had a great time staying at this property. The owners gave easy to understand instructions for checkin and the checkout process ahead of time and had this info posted in the house. They had everything stocked that we needed (including a spice cabinet and lots of games!). They also had current travel guides in the house which helped a lot. I would highly recommend!

The home was incredibly clean and very well appointed. Nice updates to the home and kitchen stocked with everything you need. Nice back yard and firepit to enjoy during stay. Deeply appreciated the check instructions on the refrigerator and emergency numbers. It was a great home and perfect for a family with kids. Bedrooms are tight so if looking for space In sleeping area this isn’t for you, but don’t let that discourage you from staying at this lovely home.

The house was delightful! Not only was it clean and ready for us to settle in, but the owners have loaded it up with quality games, towels, body wash, and almost anything you can think of for our ease. We greatly enjoyed our time at Bayfield and part of this was undoubtedly this VRBO!

The property was clean, very well organized, stocked with everything needed and comfortable. It had a very homey feel. Ir was close to town with great places to eat and grocery store. We extended our stay by another night because of ice and snow storm. Working with owner was quick and easy. The sinage around the home was very useful from the WIFI PW to dishwasher settings to cords on the drapes. Would definitely stay here again.

The house was so nice and clean, easy to find, the door to the porch was hard to get open so we thought it was locked but we pushed hard enough on it and it opened. Was looking for the lock box. Had a great time!!

First trip to Bayfield
We enjoyed our stay at the Driftwood Cottage very much. The house was very clean and cozy. It was well decorated and comfortable. A short twelve minute drive to Bayfield. While in Washburn we enjoyed visiting the local South Shore brewery.

We stayed in this home while visiting the Apostle Islands. The host has great communication , not only through emails but with notes around the house. The home was decorated and supplied with the guest’s comfort in mind. We cooked every night in the kitchen and had everything we needed, even a colander. Peaceful, quiet property with deer visiting with my morning coffee. I have already recommended this home to friends .

Wonderful spot!
Everything was so smooth and the communication was always wonderful from the very start. The home is very well equipped for families with kids as well. We had a lovely stay .
the doors between the bedrooms are not your traditional doors, more like thick dividers. We had issues with one of the dividers being quite squeaky and waking up our child a couple times, but would probably go unnoticed if we didn't have a kiddo 😉
The yard is wonderful and the neighborhood is quiet. So easily accessible to many outdoor activities. We really enjoyed our stay.

Nice family house
House has plenty of room to spread out. Owners were very easy to communicate with in open to questions. Backyard was very nice and well groomed fire pit would for convenience all nice add-ons for a rental. With Covid 19 been a big concern for us it was really nice knowing that cleaning wipes were left out for us to use and was properly cleaned before and after our visit!!

Our group of 6 had an amazing stay at Driftwood cottage. Well furnished, great location, clean, excellent communication.

Perfect stay for Bayfiled Applefest
Property was nicely remodeled, perfect for our trip to the big lake with our little ones. Amenities were as described, very comfortable accommodations.
Therese went out of her way to clear up some poor communication regarding some [after the fact] as a result of a VRBO miscommunication to her. Kudos.
