A great place to spend our 30th anniversary

Jim and Pearl gave us wonderful advice on places to eat. We had great views off the deck when we sat down for morning coffee or evening wine. It was easy to get to the water for kayaking. We put the grill to use several times - thanks. (The kitchen doesn't have conventional oven.) We'd love to stay here again.

The perfect spot

The Fedora is a lovely lakefront property. Every detail and comfort is accounted for in this quaint suite. We felt right at home. The suite was super clean. We particularly enjoyed the deliciously smelling linen and towels. It was meaningful to get to meet Jim and Pearl, our hosts. They were exceptionally helpful and friendly and made sure we had everything we needed to feel at home. We would love to be back on a future visit to the area.

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.
