Modern Cabin in the Woods
The Superior Sanctuary was lovely - it had all the furnishings and space we were looking for. It is located close to downtown Bayfield and is 20 minutes from other areas and attractions. The hosts were communicative and we were generally prepared for our stay.

Better for a Couple or Families
The cabin is super cute with a great porch setting. Two issues we had as two couples staying here: 1) Upstairs loft “bedroom” is not private or soundproof. 2) A card table or another small table indoors would be helpful when the weather doesn’t allow porch access or to work on a puzzle (porch table is wrought iron with holes in it). The bathrooms and kitchen are updated and very nice. Also, the living room and fireplace are comfy and cozy. Overall, we enjoyed our stay here! Bayfield is close by and beautiful!

Cozy cottage in the woods!
I loved staying at this cottage! The location is perfect, surrounded by woods but close to Bayfield and the Apostles. The cottage is a perfect blend of functional and cozy. We stayed during a snowstorm and it was absolutely magical to see the snow on the trees outside and warm up by the fireplace. The host was very responsive to questions I had before the stay and made sure everything went smoothly. I'd definitely book again next time I'm heading up north.

Amazing cabin, perfect space for two couples. Well maintained, clean and updated. We loved the screen porch, you felt one with nature. We had rain several days so did not use the trails much on the property as they were too wet. Dont miss sunrise at the beach!

Lovely cabin in a wonderful community
We enjoyed our stay here very much. The cabin was charming, clean, and comfortable. The cherry on top of this rental was the surprisingly beautiful and serene Brickyard Creek trail right outside our door!

Visit to Bayfield
Our group had two couples. The cottage was very comfortable, private, and convenient to take advantage of the many things to do in the Bayfield area (you did need to drive to town but it was close). It is well kept and had a well stocked kitchen for cooking. There is a nice beach a short walk from the cottage and several trails throughout the property for easy walks. Two bathrooms is a plus for two couples. The highlight is the large screened porch (shown in the picture) to eat, relax, play games, and enjoy the quiet of the surrounding woods.

Hiking 50 Wisconsin State Parks Finale
Three generations came together to celebrate a young adult who completed hiking all 50 Wisconsin State Parks. We hiked Big Bay State Park together as a finale. The cottage served as a perfect base for both that hike and Lake Superior kayaking the next day. Enjoyed seeing foxes, deer and listening to hundreds of birds on the great screen porch.

Quiet and comfortable
We hade an incredible time staying in the Brickyard Creek cottage! We enjoyed reading in the screen porch in the evenings listening to the ambient sounds of birds and nature, while being protected from the mosquitos. Very close to town and the lake while being able to have peace and quiet in our own area was the perfect combination! (our only gripe was that the couch being small and uncomfortable, not bad!)

Wonderful place to stay!
The house was perfect for two couples! The kitchen is a great size and the fireplace was very welcoming. We sat in the screen porch for a short time when the sun hit it at the right angle. I imagine it is a fabulous place to eat or hang out in during warm weather. The place is updated and in great shape! Thank you for sharing it with us!

Cute cozy cabin in the woods
You will feel like you are in the Northwoods the second u drive up to the cabin. All natural landscape pathway right to the front door. The inside has a rustic modern vibe with lighted screen-porch that is absolutely adorable and very relaxing. It is a couple miles from town- but an easy drive to whatever u need.
