About this house rental

Our 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom (1,800 sq. ft) cottage home is a wonderful place to call home while visiting the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore and the Bayfield, WI area. We are located in the historic district of Bayfield and a 5 - 6 minute walk (hills included) to the downtown area which hosts many quaint shops, restaurants, grocery store, city park with gazebo, city marina, and a 20 minute ferry service to the pearls of Madeline Island. The Big Top Chautauqua, a summer must for lively entertainment, is only 2 miles south of town. Blueberry, strawberry, apple and raspberry picking, a favorite family activity from local farms, is only minutes away (during appropriate seasons). We can host up to 8 people.

Our first level of the home features a bedroom with a double bed, full bath with shower/tub combo immediately across the hall, living room, kitchen, dining room, laundry room and a large exterior deck.

On the second level you will find a Master bedroom with a queen bed, 3rd bedroom with 2 twin beds, a 4th bedroom with a full size bed along with a shared bathroom with a walk-in shower.

Our large deck is the perfect place to enjoy our flower gardens and a cup of coffee before heading out to explore what the Bayfield area has to offer. Sit down for dinner on the deck where friends and family can build wonderful memories to take home.

Walk out our front door and across the street to the iconic, brownstone building which hosts the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore Headquarters. The center offers orientation and information, camping permits, museum exhibits, a park film and the America’s National Parks bookstore.

While staying at the Gichi Gami House, you are in the land of the Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, the hub of the Chippewa nation. The Red Cliff Reservation is conveniently located 2 miles north of Bayfield on Hwy 2. There, you’ll find Legendary Waters Resort & Casino and the Copper Crow Distillery, the only native run distillery in the country. Share stories with others over a shot of gin or vodka. On Madeline Island in the town of La Pointe, an easy 20 minute ferry ride from Bayfield, is the Madeline Island Museum which features artifacts of local native tribes, relics of French fur traders dating back to 1693, and early missionaries who with local natives established the fur post. People of the Chippewa nation refer to the lake as Gichi Gami, the “Great Sea”.

Some of the amenities you will find at our home include: Gas fireplace in living room, grill, Smart TV (bring your login credentials for Netflix, Prime, Hulu, etc), internet, WiFi, washer/dryer, dishwasher, microwave, heating, air conditioning, towels, linens and two parking spaces in front of the garage (more street parking available in front of the home).

Please note that there are 3 steps to enter the front entry and approximately 6 to enter onto the deck from the back. Note, access to the upstairs bedrooms is from a 16 step staircase.
All guests will be required to sign a Short Term Rental agreement once they have booked our home.

The house and outdoor spaces are yours to enjoy. Please note that the garage is off limits. Only registered guests are allowed in the home and on the property.

Security Cameras:
Similar to other vacation rental homes, we have Ring doorbell cameras located at the front door and back door of the home. As you would expect, the audio recording has been turned off.

Military Personnel Discount:
We offer a 10% discount on the nightly rate (not including fees and taxes) for active, retired, and reserve military personnel. Please contact us prior to reservation and present your current military ID or DD214 for the discount.

Per Bayfield City ordinance, we must rent for a minimum of 7 nights.

The house is in a perfect location. An easy walk to town and directly across from the visitor's center. The yard is beautifully landscaped and the deck provides a nice place to sit and enjoy the view. The house is very well furnished and decorated so you feel like you are staying in someone's personal space. The house is equipped with anything you could possibly need during your stay. Monica, the host, was helpful with advice of things to do during our stay and available for questions. This property gets a 5 star rating.

Four generations of family from teenagers to grandparents found rest and relaxation at the Gichi Gami House in Bayfield! It was the perfect set up for both privacy and community. The location was perfect for a walk into town and only a block from a picturesque bridge with nature trails. We enjoyed working a puzzle together in the evenings and the kitchen was well- equipped to eat in after a full day of kayaking. Lots of natural light during the day. Everything was very clean and comfortable. Each room was tastefully decorated, and the common areas had an abundance of natural light. Monica was easy to communicate with and answered all of our questions cheerfully and promptly. She was professional and accessible, and we are excited for a return trip!

My family and I stopped in Bayfield while traveling through Northern WI in the late fall. What a beautiful town! We were welcomed to the Gichi Gami house by a warm and cozy fireplace which made us feel nice after a long day of traveling. The house had plenty of space and kitchen well stocked. The local artwork throughout the home was a nice touch. The host was very responsive to our needs and questions. We will come back for a longer stay next time!
