We had a wonderful stay at the Hale house! It’s close to downtown Bayfield and all of the surrounding areas best attractions! Perfect amount of room for our large group of 12, half of which were children. The house offered games, toys, outdoor games, fire pit for s’mores and more!

Fall getaway
Great space for two families with young-ish kids, and it was a bonus that we hit beautiful fall colors. We loved exploring the nearby woods on our way to town. Conveniently located near ferry to Madeline Island. House is stocked with everything you may need, including entertainment and toys for kids.
