On our recent road trip around Lake Superior, we wanted to experience the Apostle Islands and found…read morea vacancy at the Legendary Waters Resort. When we arrived, I had forgotten it was also a casino - which we honestly care about (and generally avoid due to the noise, etc.). It was a beautiful room, spacious, with plenty of power outlets and comfortable furniture. It was very clean, and the bathroom was also large and looked new. Our room was on the top floor and overlooked the marina - a nice view to wake up to! We walked through the casino just to get a feel, and it was not noisy or smoky - definitely busier in the evening. They also have an on-site restaurant where we enjoyed breakfast one morning. All staff we met were friendly and helpful - and parking is plentiful and free. The town of Bayfield is just a 10-minute drive away with lots of restaurants, shopping, and recreation (kayak tours, boat tours, etc.). Also - don't miss the lovely hiking trail a 10-15 minute drive the other direction in the Frog Bay Tribal National Park.

The nightly s'mores were a fun touch, and the pool and hot tub were relaxing, with a pretty walkway leading to them. Our room was comfortable, with cozy beds and extra bedding, which we appreciated. We loved that the main lodge had hot coffee and ice water available - as well as games and loves to check out! That said, the exterior is starting to show some age, with weeds throughout the grounds and overgrown bushes making the sidewalks feel crowded. A window on our room was broken and the indoor pool was out of commission. While the activities are a great perk, one was full before I could attend, and the yoga class I signed up for didn't have an instructor show up. Overall though, it was a relaxing and enjoyable stay and I'd happily come back again!

I found it to be a lovely day, but to be honest felt the tour was a bit boring and there wasn't really much to look at. I would have loved to have had more time to visit the shops in the area which seemed nice. NOTE: There is NO parking so you really need to arrive early to get a parking spot somewhere. Most places have a 2 hour limit so we had to park several blocks away. The office doesn't have a bathroom so you need to walk to a brick building down the street where there are only 2 stalls. The boat does have a bathroom on board which is helpful, and snacks like candy and bottled water, etc to purchase.

It also offers other marina related services including pump out, fuel and winter storage. I'm afraid that Paula has mistaken the marina for one of the Apostle Islands boat tour companies. She's correct about the restroom and showers at the marina, they are for boat owners who rent slips at the marina and their guests. She's also correct about general parking in Bayfield. The next time Paula visits Bayfield, she can stop by the Ship's Store, operated by the marina on the corner of Manypenny and 1st
