About this house rental

Escape to northern Wisconsin where summer nights are cool, crowds and traffic do not exist, and life is simpler. Once the great north woods, today this is a rural paradise filled with small treasures that are reminiscent of times past.
Situated 10 miles west of Bayfield at the end of the road lies Raspberry Bay Lake Front House with 265' of lake front and an unobstructed view to the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore. Raspberry bay is shallow with ever changing sand bars which is frequently empty except for the wildlife. Ideal for kids as the water is shallow and warm for Lake Superior. Sit on the shore in an adirondack chair and read a book or just enjoy the tranquility. Looking out to the lake you can see the Raspberry Island lighthouse along with Bear Island, Oak Island, Rocky Island and Otter Island. Take one of our canoes out for a peaceful paddle along the shore or up raspberry slough for some wildlife viewing. Sea kayak right from the house and enjoy good proximity to the 21 islands that make up the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore. Apostle Islands National Lakeshore has been named the top National Park destination for its untouched natural beauty and large collection of lighthouses. It is possible to launch your boat 4 miles east at Little Sand Bay and anchor it out in front of the house and wade ashore. Bike, run, walk or drive over to Eagle point 3 miles away. Watch and hear the waves crash or lap (depending on the weather) onto the shore from your bedroom. Enjoy breathtaking sunsets and look for the northern lights while you take in the night sky. Celebrate with smores on a crackling campfire and enjoy the outdoors. Expect a very relaxing and memorable vacation experience year round.

5 bedrooms, 3.5+ bathrooms. Fully equipped kitchen. Large screened in porch overlooking the woods and the lake. Upstairs screened in porch is terrific place to sleep outdoors almost like a tent with all the comforts of home. Built in 2010 the home boasts upgraded details including slate floors, tile showers, wide plank wood floors, tongue and groove ceiling, granite counter tops, maple cabinets, stainless appliances, in-floor heat, Fireplace, Woodstove, Outside Firepit, Clawfoot tub in the master, Outside Shower, and Covered Porch to enjoy rainy days.

Black bears are occasionally seen on the beach and wolves are resident to the area. Bald Eagles are common along with loons, mergansers, kingfishers, frogs and white tailed deer. Various waterfowl, woodpeckers and chipmunks add to a woodland setting that soothes the soul. This property is bordered on one side by land carrying a permanent conservation easement which is bordered by a large tract of native american land which also is protected by a permanent conservation easement. From our beach you can gaze down along the headland at natural forest.

This remarkable property has three porches and a deck, plus a nearby fire ring, and we loved every opportunity to be immersed in the lake view and sounds. There is a long, clean sand spit/beach area for access to the clear shallow water of Raspberry Bay. We paddled the canoe up the mouth of the Raspberry River which was fun to explore. The house itself is large, comfortable and in great repair. We cooked and baked often during our week stay, and the kitchen is nicely designed and very well equipped. Bedrooms and beds were great, and the MBR suite has a private porch and a big soaking tub in addition to a shower. The housekeeper quickly answered a few questions we had, and the whole house was very clean. Bayfield is about a 15 minute drive, so convenient for shopping and restaurants. We stayed over Memorial Day with five adults and one dog, and couldn't have been happier with the house and location.

We were all wowed by the beauty of your home; lots of room for us to spread out in. We especially loved the many decks and screened porch areas. We had a week with quite a bit of rain, but the screened and covered porch areas were still comfortable. My wife and I even chose to sleep on the upstairs sleeping porch ... which was a delight even during heavy downpours. Our only disappointment was the lack of internet we experienced, which wed call a mixed blessing. Part of our group missed the convenience of checking emails and looking things up online during our friendly debates; part of our group appreciated being offline when we were all together. Regardless, wed definitely recommend this wonderful Raspberry Bay home to anyone looking for a quiet getaway in a beautiful home on the shore!
