It was very private and quiet. It was close enough to town to bike back and forth. The cabin was clean and well stocked. The porch was lovely but did have a couple of gaps for mosquitos to get in. I brought some 3m Thermocell and that helped with mosquitos. The stairs are not for the faint at heart or if you get up a lot at night. I alway hate the extra cleaning fees as I donât make a mess and to me, that is the cost of doing business. The local taxes are high too.
We really enjoyed how quiet this place was and how it sits back in the woods. First evening we saw a beautiful red fox stroll past. We really liked the walk to the marina at the end of the street as well.
The cabin was very nice. It was a central location for visiting several waterfalls. We never cooked or grilled at the cabin so I can't comment on those but everything looked fine. It was a really quiet get-away.
We had a lovely stay at this clean, cozy and well-equipped property. My favorite feature is the screen porch, which feels like you are in the middle of the forest. The loft stairs were manageable and everything worked well.
Awesome cabin. Everything u could need or want. Beautiful surroundings and minutes to bayfield. No air conditioning but it stayed cool enough being in the woods.
The cozy cabin was nestled in amongst the trees and woodland shrubs. It was ripe with the up north feeling that we were expecting, yet still close to everything that we wanted to do or explore. It was my first time ever booking something like this, and I was warmly received and updated.
Very peaceful, clean and well equipped kitchen. Sitting on the porch listening to rain falling is very relaxing. Our TMoblie phones had no signal in this area. Also, the listing should be amended to state the bathroom is on the first floor and bedroom is in the loft with a very narrow staircase in between - challenging for people of our vintage.
The cabin was perfect for our weekend getaway for our 15th wedding anniversary. The fireplace was cozy when it was cooler the first night and the screened porch as perfect for the warmer night. The only issue we had was the tv. It was hard to get it to work with the remotes. Would definitely come back again!
The Woodland Chalet was a perfect escape. It is a couple miles from the hustle and bustle of Bayfield set in the woods. It was exceptionally clean when we arrived. The kitchen had everything we wanted (and more). We spent most of our time on the screened porch for dining and relaxing. We would not hesitate to return to the chalet. One should be aware, however, that the stairs to the loft are narrow and the sloping roof in the loft could be a problem for a taller person.
Les points faibles : Communication et exactitude de lâannonce
Not what we reserved
The property we reserved was not the property where they placed us. There was no communication in advance regarding the change - it seemed as though they were hoping it would go unnoticed by us.
They also made a mistake with the number of persons I had made the reservation for and placed us in a property that did not offer sufficient sleeping options for our group (aside from it just not being the property we chose). They attempted multiple of times to suggest that I had made that mistake - they only had us down for 2 persons - even though my email confirmation of reservation clearly indicated 3 persons, as I pointed out to them.
At no point in our stay did the management company sufficiently address the gap in their performance.
We understand that things happen. Had they just reached out when they realized that they would not be able to fulfill our reservation as is, this whole experience could have gone differently.
Throughout it all, we were made to feel as if we were in the wrong, which was unacceptable. Additional example - the gas fireplace wouldn't shut off via the remote so I requested assistance/info from them. They assumed it was my error and reiterated how the remote should be used for that. I had to reach out again to let them know that I had in fact used the remote (I am actually quite savy with technology). They eventually stopped out (without communicating in any way to let us know they would be doing that) and found that a setting was wrong. Again, no apology for the inconvenience...
I would be reluctant to rent from the management company again. At a base level, one should expect that the property they reserved will be the property where they stay. If/when that base expectation cannot be met, transparent communication is necessary (along with good customer service) and that was not what we experienced.
We had a wonderful stay with windseeker rentals! We were really taking it back by how clean and modern the cabin was while still being Incredibly cozy and cabin-like. The screened in porch was the best, breakfast and coffee on the screened in porch while you feel like youâre actually in the middle of the woods. Then evenings with beers on the screened in porch. Not a single bug in the entire cabin, I donât know how you guys do it! We will definitely stay here again if we find ourselves in Bayfield in the future!
Great cabin in the woods. Had everything we needed for a really nice stay. We especially enjoyed the screened in porch. Will recommend this property to others looking for a trip to the Bayfield area.
We absolutely loved staying at the Woodland Chalet! We spent the majority of the time relaxing on the screened in porch listening to the forest. We had everything we needed and slept comfortably every night. The trails in the community are so nice and the location is close to all the trails, Lake Superior, and Bayfield. All excellent!
We spent a week at Woodland Chalet in Bayfield. The location was perfect for all that we wanted to do and also for the times when we wanted to do nothing.
In town for the annual Point to LaPointe swim. Spent a great weekend at the Woodland Chalet. Beautiful, clean and comfortable. Great location for all things Bayfield. Beautiful setting. Enjoyed walking to the marina/beach and on the trails through the woods. If you want privacy this is the place - several other homes in the neighborhood but separated by beautiful woods - you feel like you are far from everyone! Will definitely return!
Located a short few miles just outside of Bayfield - we loved our stay, arriving on July 5. Very comfortable bed upstairs - nothing beats waking up to the sounds of nature outside your window. Very clean. Porch was lovely but the week we were there it was also a bit chilly the first few days - there are propane heaters on the porch but useage wasn't permitted. Hope to go back in a few years - we will stay here again if our life permits a return trip.
Our experience was excellent! The cabin was cozy and clean and we felt right at home. The screened in porch right in the wilderness was something we will never forget! We would come back and recommend to others!
