About the host
Hosted by Jim & Pearl Swearingen
Jim & Pearl Swearingen recently retired from public education and health care, respectively. They have made Island View their own vacation destination over the years and now manage the vacation rental property themselves. What drew us to Bayfield from the beginning was the gorgeous setting, the small-town charm, and its location within the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore and Lake Superior Circle Tour.
Why they chose this property
Island View is a serene, picturesque location that looks out on the Apostle Islands (Madeline and Basswood). Throughout the season you will see dozens of sailboats, kayaks, fishing vessels, ducks, loons, geese, eagles, and the daily U.S. Park Service tour boats pass by. Enjoy the scenery from your private deck or from the lakefront firepit.
What makes this property unique
At Island View, you are far enough from town for peace and quiet and close enough to town (1 mile) to enjoy Bayfield's shops, restaurants, concerts, orchards, museum, and boating excursions. Here, you can launch your kayak from shore, enjoy a glass of wine from the spacious lakeside yard, or use your suite as a home-base as you explore the South Shore of Lake Superior.
