About this property

Madeline Island LAKESIDE Cabin on the Shore of Lake Superior - "BAYSIDE"

Our 2 Bedroom (Lakeside), knotty pine paneled cabin, sits so close to the water that you can hear the waves hitting the beach. Read a book in front of a crackling fire. Sit on the porch, or on the dock and watch sailboats glide by. Watch the water birds fish and hear loons call across the bay. Walk the beach. Relax and do what you like, it is all here on the Island!

Enjoy a scenic, relaxing drive to the Bayfield Peninsula and the Apostle Islands National Park. Just 220 miles from the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, 1.5 hours drive from Duluth International Airport.

Madeline Island is located 9.3 miles by ferry boat, off Wisconsin's north most point; the Bayfield Peninsula.

Peaceful

The location to the lake can’t be beat. The waves crashing. My entire stay was an east wind constant waves. I saw the northern lights on my first night and an eclipse the next night. I’ll rent this one again and again.

Best place ever

I have been going to Madeline Island for 10 years now and this is by far the best place I’ve ever stayed very clean perfect location. We had a blast looking for glass on the beach! We felt like 8 year olds!

A quiet little (comfortable) gem, right on the shore of Lake Superior.

This small house was perfect for my son and I. Quiet and right on the water. Nice steps to sandy beach. There is no TV (a good thing). It's right off the road, BUT there was maybe a car passing every few hours. Madeline IS is like going back a few decades. Calmer, no one is in a rush, except some who are just getting off the ferry. The owner live across the street. He checked on us on our arrival and the morning we were leaving. That was nice.

Superior Paradise

First time on the island for me and my grandma to celebrate her 90th birthday. Bayside, and the island, both delivered! Cabin was cozy, but still had everything we needed for a memorable vacation. Although my grandma was physically unable to take the stairs down to the beach, she was still able to enjoy the beautiful location thanks to all the lakeside windows! She didn’t want to leave when our trip was over. Thank you Bayside for fantastic experience.

Wonderful!

This is an absolutely beautiful property. Truly a gem on Madeline Island. It was incredibly clean and provided everything we needed to prepare breakfasts, lunches and dinner. We enjoyed the private beach for an afternoon and very peaceful walks in the evening followed by wood fires in the fireplace. Do keep a eye open for black bears as we had one enter the road a hundred yards or ahead of us about a 1/4mi. west of the property. This was an amazing place to stay. My wife and I have decided that our trips to Madeline Island will be based on the availability of this property. A quick note about the owners; Jim and Renee are the best. Incredibly helpful, know how to navigate Vrbo and truly care about the experience of their guests. We feel blessed that they are willing to share something this amazing.

Weekend Getaway

Great location and comfortable space for two people. Very quiet. Beach is lovely and the views are spectacular. Some dishes were not cleaned properly by previous guests and there was one spiderweb in the kitchen but overall the house was clean. There are no additional pillows or blankets outside of those on the beds if anyone prefers extra pillows or blankets. Hand soap and dishwashing liquid were provided as were bath, hand, and facial towels. There is no tv and we were unable to get the radio working. However, we enjoyed the board games and deck of cards provided. We didn’t miss the lack of tv and we’re able to use our phones for music. The WiFi worked well. LaPointe is only a 10-15 minute drive away with some cute shops and a handful of restaurants. Given our visit was off-season, some stores were closed for the year. Overall a wonderful experience and would stay here again.

Cabin at Big Bay

Jim was very considerate and took care of the small issues we had as well as making good recommendations. The cabin is a perfect size for 2-4 vacationers with beautiful access to the Lake and a short bike ride/drive to Town Park or Big Bay State Park for unforgetable beach walks and, yes, even swimming. We kayaked, hikes, biked, and even made the short trip via ferry on foot to dine and shop in Bayfield.

Our place

Yes, we know someone else owns it, but coming back for a third time, we refer to this gem as our place. It feels like home to us now. Never a single problem and every day, the view is magnificent in all its moods. Peaceful, clean, well organized, comfortable beds where you can hear the water as you fall asleep. A little piece of heaven. So glad to look forward to returning again.

Spotless

The house was the cleanest lake house I have ever seen! And the view of the sunrise in the morning took my breath away. We had a fabulous time even though it was off season and a lot of stores and restaurants were closed. I never communicated with the owners before or during our stay, but there was no need to as the house had everything we needed and wanted. It's not fancy, but it's clean and comfortable. Can't wait to come back next year.

Lovely Beachside Cottage!

The cottage was well equipped with thoughtful details, great maintenance, and very clean. It was appropriately cozy and feels very spacious with the vaulted ceiling. We loved the wood-burning fireplace, the porch with 180 degree views, the amazing dock, and the cabin's proximity to the water. Absolutely perfect for us! Enjoyed our weekend at the lake celebrating our 25th anniversary!

Blissful Stay

The only difficult part of our stay was having to leave. This is a well designed and appointed cabin. The location, right on the lake, provided the intangible benefits of being so close to Superior, and also ease when we felt inclined to go for a paddle in our kayaks. This place has a great spirit. We loved it!

A slice of heaven

My husband & I had a wonderful time. The cottage is just what we needed. So quaint, peaceful, private, and well equipped. We enjoyed biking, kayaking, hanging on the dock soaking up the sun. We have not slept that well in years. The sound of the water, fresh air, peaceful surroundings. We hope to return again! Owners are very easy to communicate with. I can’t say enough to describe the complete breathtaking awesomeness of our time there. Thank you for sharing your place with us!!
