Lovely location and manager. Felt it was prices to high for what we got. Bed was not the quality we expected. Room was adequate in size however there were no sit down lounge chairs. Tv channels very limited. Bathroom is well appointed but dangerous with large step up to toilet and shower.

Bayfield in September
We had a wonderful time in Bayfield, we did many of the attractions at Madeline Island, the apostle Island Cruise. We had great food nice outdoor patio at the Bayfield Inn. Regarding the property we were not aware that it was on such a steep hill for walking up and down it was it was a bit of a challenge. We also were quite surprised by the narrow, steep stairway to go down to our place the toilet in the bathroom, you had to step up to get to the toilet and the toilet is not a raised toilet so I guess that should be clearly stated in, the description. The pictures and description made it look as though you could sit out on a spacious patio and overlook the lake and just kind of relax, that was not the case we were lower level there were grass clippings on the windows not a good view from our room and the common area upstairs was really small compared to the pictures Listed a continental breakfast I felt that the continental breakfast was very limited. I mean it was yogurt muffin & juice. There was no fruit of any kind, to call it a continental breakfast was a bit of a stretch.

Captain Jack's Piloty House A+!
We found this property to be very comfortable, as well as allowing a gret view of the Bay and harbor area. Pleasant breakfast area w/ nice amenities, an attentive owner to share Bayfield info, and books, art and an historic atmosphere to allow you to rest, relax, and yet have fun! We'll stay again.

Lovely place on the hill
The Pilot House is close to the water and the downtown businesses and restaurants. It was our first trip to Bayfield and the Pilot House was perfect for our 43rd anniversary weekend. We had a lot of fun chatting with Jack before we left. He's a hoot!

Charming Building in a Great Location
Walking distance to Apostle Islands cruise, Bayfield shops and restaurants. Had use of large common living area with a porch overlooking the city and the harbor. Bed was super comfortable, and the unit was spacious and very clean. We were in the Crew's Quarters which had a unique octagonal design with lots of windows. Navigating the hill on foot was a bit of a challenge for us as senior citizens, but it was good exercise. And if we didn't want to trek it, we could always take our car which was parked just outside the door.

We loved its close proximity to downtown Bayfield
We stayed at the Pilot House for just one night, but we loved its close proximity to downtown Bayfield. The room was great, and on the morning we left, a fox came up to our bedroom window, which was a delightful surprise. We appreciated the easy check-in process, especially since we arrived late at night, and the continental breakfast available in the morning was a nice touch.

A beautiful place!
It’s a wonderful location, beautiful panoramic views of Lake Superior. Jack is an excellent host. We really enjoyed talking to him. Our only complaint would be that there was a big step up in the bathroom. It was difficult to manage & not very safe. It would be very easy to trip on this in the middle of the night. And the bath towels could have been larger. We loved the Bayside area!

So close to walk to everything! Has some lake view, even in the basement suite (crew's quarters) Large room. Had bar stools at raised table, but no other chair to sit in. I also would recommend they change to unscented laundry soap for those with sensitivities. But still was a good place to stay.

Fabulous views
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!

The location was wonderful, the property was clean. Easy to access.
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!
