We take pride in making your visit to the region pleasant.  Your room is spotlessly clean and charming. Our lake shore is rocky but refreshing!

We look forward to welcoming you this summer.

  • Eight guest rooms of 1950s Knotty Pine. Simply furnished and cleaned till they’re shiny and bright.
  • Our swimming "pool" is the biggest fresh water lake in the world - just out the door, across the lawn. 
  • Rooms have coffee, hair dryers, TV .  Plus, A/C if the lake breeze isn’t enough.  Some rooms have refrigerator and microwave.  One room has kitchenette.
  • Wireless internet.  (no phones, though)
  • Our rooms look out on wise old trees native to our Boreal forest. Other plants near the lake will introduce you to native species.
  • Our rocky little beach on the Bay is a respite from heat and city living. We won't claim any designed or built beauty, but there is the music and motion of the waves and the breezes.  Bring marshmallows and build a fire in a pit next to the water - driftwood keeps drifting in to supply your fuel. On sunny days, a sunset over the lake is available for free.

Our region is a peaceable place; luxurious wild spaces and a fresh environment. We are home to many creative artists, harvest festivals and participatory sport events  such as marathons, swimming, biking, kayaking, skiing, sailing, boating, dog sledding as well as traditional fishing and hunting.   The Northern Great Lakes Visitor Center gives a terrific introduction to our past and our environment.
The 3 communities on Chequamegon Bay: ASHLAND, WASHBURN, BAYFIELD,  round out life with good colleges, historic districts, music festivals, theatres and a hospital.  Ideas live here, too - sustainability and environmental stewardship and trending movements like local agriculture and food and wineries and beer.
