WELCOME GUESTS!

The Brickyard Creek Cottages (BYC) is an environmental ​community of private residences​ with a small percentage of privately owned rental cottages. Individual owners and families come to enjoy the natural setting and quiet privacy of their cabin in the woods. ​BYC’s community rental policies below:​

COTTAGE PRIVACY:​ ​Join us in enjoying the natural setting: forest trails, creek, and over 70 acres of Bayfield Boreal Forest. Honor the privacy of residents and other guests—o​nly use designated nature trails or roads to explore the area. The areas along the lake are privately owned and are not part of the BYC community land. Please respect our neighbors!

QUIET ESCAPE IN THE WOODS:​
S​ounds carry through the woods. Keep Brickyard Creek a 'tranquil nature escape' for everyone by refraining from loud music and excessive porch noise. Community​ quiet hours ​are enforced daily between 1​0pm and 8am.​

HEALTH DEPARTMENT LIMITS:​
E​ach cottage is approved by the Bayfield County Health Department to accommodate a maximum number of guests deemed appropriate to the cottage style.​ All guests must be registered. Adding guests after registration is strictly prohibited. The local health code is regulated and monitored.

COMMUNITY BEACH:​
Enjoy the community's private beach and covered picnic area as you look out at the Apostle Islands. Be safe; absolutely no climbing on the rock wall. The jagged boulders are unstable and shifting daily. The marina land, docks, furniture, and clubhouse adjacent to the community beach are for paid m​arina members only​. There is ​no public bathroom​ available at the lakefront​. The parking spaces at Roy's Point Marina are for boaters renting the marina slips ​only​. Please walk, using either the trail or road system, when visiting the beach.

PARKING:​
Guests are allotted space for ​two cars or motorcycles​ at each rental cottage. N​o RV, boat, or trailer parking is allowed at cabins.​ Parking for excess cars and alternative vehicles is available for a small nightly fee adjacent to the marina. ​Contact Roy's Point Marina to reserve space in advance of your arrival​. The Brickyard Creek Association, residents and/or rental agents assume no responsibility for loss, theft, or damage to personal belongings in or on the Brickyard Creek property.

ATV's & UTV'S:
All-terrain vehicles and snowmobiles are ​not permitted​ on Brickyard Creek roads.

ALLERGY-FREE ZONE:​
​All cottages are allergy-free rentals, only a handful of cabins allow pets— n​o pets without prior approval​. NO smoking or burning incense or candles allowed​. Per the State of Wisconsin smoking ban, this includes smoking on decks and/or screen porches.

CAMPFIRES:​
Enjoy the community fire pit located near the beach by the gazebo. There is usually firewood available​. DO NOT pick up wood on the common grounds, private lots, or along the trails. Be alert to wind and weather conditions. Fast-moving embers easily burn holes in sails of boats at the marina or start forest fires. Please be careful not to build roaring fires. Do not leave fires unattended and ensure they are fully extinguished​ when leaving the area. ​Fires are not permitted anywhere else on BYC properties.

GRILLS:​
P​ropane or electric grills are available at most properties for guest use. Guests shall be required to clean grills after use. Failure to do so will result in a $​25 fee. Propane should be T​URNED OFF​ after use and c​over placed on grill A​FTER ​grill is cool.​ Please notify Windseeker Rentals when propane runs out.

HOLDING TANKS:​ ​
The majority of the Brickyard Creek Cottages have holding tanks, not a sewer or septic system. Please ​don't run water unnecessarily or flush any feminine products.​ We ask that only registered guests to the cottage unit use the bath/shower facilities.

GARBAGE & RECYCLING:​
O​ur community recycles c​ans, cardboard, plastic, and glass​— we hope you will too! G​arbage and recycling dumpsters are located just past the intersection of Roy's Point Boulevard and Brickyard Creek Road​. Please "free your recyclables" by placing them directly in the dedicated dumpster or use a paper bag. We are charged an added fee for every plastic bag found in our recycling dumpster. Thank you for your efforts. ​Every little bit counts!

CHILDREN & FAMILIES:​ ​
The love of the environment starts in childhood. Kids are always welcome!​ Please ​provide adult supervision to ensure their safety​ and the solitude of the other guests and residents.

TWENTY IS PLENTY:​ ​
The roads in Brickyard Creek are considered part of the trail system. For the safety of all pedestrians, ​drive 20 mph or less​. Particularly watch for children whose enthusiasm may cause them to outpace their adult supervisors.

NATIVE TREES & FLORA:​
Brickyard cottages are "of the land, not on the land." During construction, very few trees and natural plants were disturbed. We ask you to be cautious of marked "nature rehabilitation" areas​, and please don't pick wildflowers.

COTTAGE FIREPLACES:​
​Wood burning fireplaces in chalets are N​OT for guest use​ unless otherwise specified.

MEET THE NEIGHBORS:​
​Brickyard Creek is a residential community of private Lake Superior cabins with a small percentage of rental cottages. Individual owners, families, and guests come to enjoy the natural setting and the tranquility of the Bayfield Boreal Forest. In this quiet environmental community, the “cabins are of the land not on the land.” The community consists of a group of active people ​committed to maintaining this unique boreal forest environment, promoting education, and creating a legacy of responsible stewardship​.

Our trip to the Apostle Islands
What a nice surprise! From the outside, the Sumac Chalet looked like a quaint little cabin tucked in the woods. But once inside the mix of finishes and furnishings were fun and inviting. There was even a SleepNumber bed just like at home and set it to 65 for a good night's sleep. First thing we did was hike the trail behind the cabin. Easy stroll through the forest ending at the shore at Roy's Marina. Other adventures included a ferry ride to Madeline Island to browse the galleries, eat pizza, and hike to the sea caves. We also took the boat cruise through the Apostle Islands for breathtaking views. Lastly, we even won a few bucks at the casino up the street! Overall, our trip was both relaxing and adventurous and the location of the cabin enabled that to happen.

Beautiful area but uncomfortable furniture.
Beautiful porch and walking trails to Roy Bay Marina on Superior. Kitchen and bathroom equipped with what was needed. Quiet, beautiful and peaceful. I slept in the downstairs bedroom. This mattress was not supportive. Time to get a new mattress. All of the furniture in the Sumac Chalet was very uncomfortable. There literally was not one stick of comfortable furniture in this place. There could have at least been one or two pieces of comfortable furniture to sit on. For this reason I will not stay in this particular rental by Wind seeker and pay that kind of money again. They were accommodating when I asked to extend the check out time by two hours. Grateful for that.

Fun weekend stay
It was a very nice cabin and we enjoyed our stay. The bedroom was freezing and its because the thermostat was hidden behind the dresser and turned off. I think windseeker should know that if the temperature during our stay is going to be below freezing they should turn on all of the heat sources. The only table provided was out on the porch, we did not use the porch very much because there was no heat out there. There is a terrible chair in the living room. It is a super awkward reclining, hard, and uncomfortable chair. It was also super modern and did not fit the cabin at all. They should just put in a recliner and that would be much more beneficial and enjoyable.

Beautiful home in a central location for the area activities! Kitchen was wonderful for evening meals. Prepared some wonderful fish fillets on the grill from Koops/Bayfield. Kayaked with Lost Creek for a fun afternoon! Lots of scenic hikes in the area ( Lakeshore Trail , Lost Creek Falls, Houghton ) including the nice trail to the shore from the cabin. Loved the screened on porch and the bikes ( with helmets) to use.

Bayfield cabin
The fireplace didn’t work which was disappointing. The furniture was bad. Not enough seating for 4 people in living room. No dining table and chairs in unit only on porch. The bathroom’s upstairs and down were very nice with wonderful showers, and very nice towels. Any requests we had were answered immediately. Furniture needs updating for the price but we enjoyed our stay. Very nice management

A very nice experience
The Sumac Chalet is a delightful property. The location to Bayfield is convenient -- just a short drive away where you can find restaurants, shopping and also the details and tickets to the Apostle Islands cruise. Our total experience was awesome.

Loved the property. It’s comfortable, well maintained, fragrance free, and laid out well for visiting, preparing food, eating and relaxing. The attached porch is wonderful and helps bring the outside in and offers so much extra space.

Winter Wonderland
The Sumac Chalet was even better than we thought it would be. We came to Bayfield in mid-November and encountered a little more snow than is usual, but it was the perfect excuse to snuggle by the fireplace and watch movies and enjoy long conversations. The communication with Windseeker was excellent and they always responded within a short period of time. We would come back here again without hesitation!

This property was one of our all time favorites. The location was wonderful, the architecture fit the place, the screened in porch was incredible, and the adjacent walking trails were a wonderful reflection of the care taken to make the experience perfect. It was a rainy weekend so we spent a lot of time drinking wine and napping - not feeling like we missed a thing happening outside the cabin. The only negative was the condensation from the toilet cause the bathroom floor to get a little slippery. The only other comment; wear the robes!! Troy and Kathy
