We were curious to try this motel since we usually stay at the Seagull Bay Motel in Bayfield for…read morethe same price, but we wanted to have a Washburn experience this trip and avoid the dinner crowds in Bayfield. Besides this has been a hot July and North Coast has A/C. At $75 in high season, I don't expect much in the way of fancy decor, but I always expect clean at any price, and I appreciated that this room was clean. I would suggest that they put black-out liners on their drapes since the outside lights are left on all night and it was very bright in the room. You can't beat North Coast for grabbing the free shuttle to Big Top Chautauqua. One of the stops is right across the street at the Big Top office. If you're looking to stay in Washburn, I would recommend North Coast.

While this is not a 5 star hotel, it has plenty to offer. The motel has been in Bayfield for a…read morewhile. It is updated and very clean. The host is friendly and helpful. The decor has a seaside theme. The room has adequate outlets for recharging technology though the Internet is slow (which is to be expected in the far north). Heck I should probably just not charge at all - I'm on vacation. We have been to this motel before and would come again. It is within walking distance to food, park, marina, Apostle Island Cruises. It is right across from the ferry to Madeline Island.

The best part about this Motel is it's location - very short walk to about everything in Bayfield…read more We walked to the restaurants, boat tours and local shops made for a pleasant three night stay. Mike was very friendly checking us in allowing to park our van early at 11 am so we could take the boat cruise at 1 pm. We got back to our room and the kids were impressed with the room. Clean and spacious perfect for a large family of seven. We highly recommend room suite 8A with a small kitchen and front porch overlooking the lake. Perfect! The beds were comfortable and rooms all clean.

The rooms are large with small fridge, Keurig, elevator and stair access, communal microwave, and ice. Step downstairs to the cute coffee shop for a seasonal latte, sandwich, or soup. You can also grab any forgotten items from the store or gift shop. Cozy outdoor fireplace and rentals available for an additional cost. Plenty of parking in the front on either side of side of the building.

Beautiful Victorian, well-preserved, beautifully decorated and immaculate. We stayed here for two…read morenights following Bayfield's big Applefest. Considering our hosts must have been tired after such a weekend invasion, they were wonderfully welcoming and accommodating. They were also non-intrusive and left us to come and go as we pleased. Our suite was delightful and comfortable. Breakfast was left on a tray outside our door by 7:30 each morning and it was delicious. Bayfield is an interesting, artsy town on the Lake Superior shore. The guest house is just a block or two away from the shops and harbor, albeit up a hill. Walking is completely doable if you are of average physical health. The only drawback is minor (to me), but was major to my husband, a Green Bay Packer fan. The guest house, and apparently much of Bayfield, subscribes to Minnesota-based cable TV. It didn't have much to offer, especially the Packer football game. Instead we and hundreds of others packed into the Creamery, a downtown tavern that apparently was the only venue carrying the game. All in all, a beautiful place to stay. Hope to come back again!

First visit to Bayfield. Stayed 2 nights at the Grey Oak. The first night we killed 8 flies in…read moreour room; the second day we got 7 more. There was a huge spider web in the bathroom. The bathroom door was spattered with something brown. The wallpaper, bathroom fixtures were very out of date (1980's?). The mattress has definitely seen better days, not replaced in recent history; it was very uncomfortable. Only 2 flat pillows in room. The sofa also was old and uncomfortable. TV didn't have many channels. There was no shampoo/conditioner in bathroom. The continental breakfast was adequate, but with no table in room to eat on, we didn't partake of much of it. The only time we saw or heard from the innkeepers was at check in and check out. Oh, there was a typed note asking how we intended to pay and if credit, schedule at time to meet the innkeeper in the living room downstairs. He never asked how our stay was. We have chosen to stay in B & B's many times, and have not seen the likes of this - ever. All in all, a very disappointing stay. We would recommend staying anywhere else.

Just writing a review about our stay last spring. We were actually on our way up Lake Supeior's…read moreshore, to explore Minnesota's North Shore. So we only stayed in Bayfield two nights (Not NEARLY long enough, of course!). We had reserved the "Coach House" in the Hendrickson House in Bayfield. When we arrived at Superior Rentals' office to check in, we were offered both the Coach House and the main house, because no one had reserved the main house! We were given keys to both, and told to use whichever one we liked best. So we basically received a free upgrade! We chose the main house, and how beautiful it was! The view from the bedroom (upstairs) was a stunning lake view! We had the use of a whirlpool tub, and a full kitchen. We also had a charcoal grill to use! The location is wonderful as well, allowing us to park our vehicle, and walk all around the town. Breakfast at Big Water or Egg Toss is highly recommended, and so is pizza from Sgt. Pepperoni's! We'll be back! What a wonderful place, and fantastic service!
