We loved this place. Spent time on the porch enjoying the view and were shocked the second day when a cruise ship was sitting in front of us. Didn’t use our car the entire time. If the weather would have been bad (it wasn’t) the common areas inside are perfect for relaxing and watching the lake and town below! We highly recommend!

I didn’t realize we had a basement apartment I thought we were up on the main or second floor so we would see the lake better. It’s kind of stinky and musty down in the basement we had to empty the dehumidifier twice a day. But wasn’t horrible. Thanks!

We had a great time at this property. Wonderful location in the heart of Bayfield. Great views from the common areas.

Highly recommend.

Once you make the climb up Jack’s ski hill of a driveway, you can park your vehicle and not have to move it for the rest of the trip. My wife and I exclusively walked/biked to all our destinations including bars, restaurants, shops, and even the ferry to Madeline Island. Jack was a very warm and inviting host and made sure we had everything we needed during our stay. Our suite was professionally cleaned and worked perfectly for our weekend stay. We enjoyed the views from the deck each night we were there as well. We are already planning our next trip up and will definitely staying here again.

We loved staying in the Pilot house.! It was perfect for us- we stayed three days, took the ferry to Madeline island for July 4th hometown parade and some pizza, also took the cruise of the apostle islands all convenient to get to because the location of this beautiful house. We had everything we needed and Jack was available for questions at all times for us. Would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful house, clean and comfortable. Great location! We were able to walk to dinner, ferry, shopping...

Loved it! Great location and views!

We had a great stay in the Crew's Quarters. The room was updated, very clean & quiet. We enjoyed sitting out on the deck for coffee & breakfast in the morning. Gorgeous view and easy to walk to everything. Thank you Jack for the clear communication. We had a great time in Bayfield!

We had a great weekend staying at the Pilot House B&B. We were out and about in Bayfield, Meyers Beach, Madeline Island throughout most of the weekend, and this was a great location central to everything. We took our vehicle to Madeline Island, but the ferry would have been a very short walk if we hadn't. We were able to walk to several restaurants and shops. The room was clean and comfortable. Jack greeted us when we showed up. We had everything we needed to have a good weekend away from home.

My wife and I enjoyed a few days in Bayfield! The Pilot House was just as advertised. Very nice! The owner, Jack was friendly and helpful. We would stay again.

The room was clean and just the right size for our needs. The check in process was very easy and we never had any issues while we stayed at the Pilot House. The property itself was lovely and easy to access everything in town. We would definitely stay again if we return to Bayfield!

The inn was so nice. All of the public spaces were very clean and inviting. Our room, "Crews Quarters," was in the basement, but we still had windows and didn't feel like we'd been sent "below deck!" The room was clean and comfortable. The bed and pillows were great. Bathroom was clean and spacious. We weren't expecting breakfast, but we appreciated the muffins, yogurt and juice that was made available. Jack was such a friendly host - he gave us a nice tour of the property upon our arrival. Be sure you take advantage of the nice porches with their stunning views of the lake. Bayfield is small, so even though our location was atop a hill a few blocks from many businesses, it was still very easy to walk wherever we wanted to go. Good restaurants, coffee shops, ice-cream shops, and shopping areas are all fairly close. I would stay there again if ever I am Bayfield again.

Stayed 1 night at the Pilot House after a day of kayaking the Apostle Islands. Checked in right at 4 and was greeted immediately by Jack (owner). He showed us to our room and gave us some tips of the town for our evening. We enjoyed a bottle of wine and some smoked trout on the balcony overlooking the town of Bayfield and the Lake. Beautiful views from the balcony. A short walk to the water and a stroll along the lake and we were off to bed. In the morning, we were on the hunt for coffee. Very easy to walk the town from the Pilot House. Jack runs a fantastic place and we’ll definitely be back!!

The Pilot House was a great place to stay! It was exactly as advertized. The room was very clean and comfortable. Jack and staff, Clover, were very quick to respond to any request. You really can't go wrong with choosing to stay there. Great views of the harbor and marina from all outdoor spaces too.

Our stay at The Pilot House was so close and only a couple of blocks to all the businesses in Bayfield. We spent a nice evening sitting on the deck and enjoying the nice views of the bay. The food was good. We especially enjoyed Manypenny Bistro. Also enjoyed a relaxing cruise around the Apostle Islands and viewed the spectacular sea caves.

We loved our time at The Pilot House. The accommodations were very pleasing, spacious and comfortable. The entire home and outside accommodations were lovely. It was very quite and private. Perfect for what we were looking for. Captain Jack was very congenial, fun and helpful. We plan to come back for a longer stay next summer.

Very nice house. Very clean. Only allowed to use microwave and fridge for ice. Only had paper plates and eating utensils. Disappointed with our breakfast options. Muffin, juice, yogurt. That's it. The television system is a nightmare. If you want to just watch local tv you can't. You either have to subscribe to a streaming service they offer or if you have one your ok. This was not explained to me or even given any information about this. It was figure it out on your own. There was several small signs posted telling you what not to do. Don't use our towels to wash your make up off. Don't flush certain things, we are obviously adults. Felt like I was being scolded without doing anything. We stayed in a basement room. My eye level view waz dirty window with dead grass. The description say's you have this great view of the lake. If your not in the basement. Never even met the owners. Not even a hello. Bayfield is beautiful. But I would not reccomend staying herd

Property was in a great location. Room was clean. Did not realize we were basement level and thought we would be able to have better view of the water.

Rude exchanges with the person on property. Room smelled liked mold. Will not book this place again. First time in 10 years that I am writing a negative review on VRBO.

We had a great relaxing trip in Bayfield, our room was perfect for what we needed and so close to downtown. We had a great time and can’t wait to come back! Thank you for your accommodations.

Beautiful, clean, quiet, private room with thoughtful touches. Seamless no-contact check-in and on-site parking. Ideal location near downtown Bayfield and Madeline Island ferry.

good location

Nice, convenient location
