2 Bedroom House in Bayfield

Make your escape to Bayfield a happy one at the Sunshine House! This two-story historic house is the perfect home base for a larger group or extended family. It features a full kitchen and bathroom on each floor along with a huge added plus: the home sits on a large two acre parcel of land with ample space to fit multiple generations around the fire pit or to enjoy dinner outdoors. It's located a short half mile walk or drive from Bayfield's shops, restaurants, and ferry landing.

Neighborhood Overview
The Sunshine House is located in a quiet part of Bayfield, on the south side of town, about a short half mile walk or drive from Bayfield's main commercial district with a wide range of shops, restaurants, galleries, and the ferry landing. The home sits on a huge lot that backs up to woods and a small ravine, offering rare privacy in town.
Property Details
The Sunshine House was built in the early 1900s and maintains much of its original charm, including the cozy front porch! The first floor has a dining room, living room with TV (no cable access but able to be used with your streaming accounts), full kitchen, full bath (with a bathtub/shower combo), and a bedroom with a full bed. The second floor is more of a traditional suite-style layout, with the bed and living area in the front half of the space, and the kitchen and bathroom at the back. There are 2 additional beds in this space. Note: THERE IS NO AIR CONDITIONING at Sunshine House, but fans are provided for warmer days.
The front of the house features a lovely covered porch with a swing (you can take in views of the lake from here as well!). The back yard has a picnic table, gas grill, and seating around the in-ground fire pit. You'll especially enjoy the sense of privacy the yard offers, as the back yard backs up to woods and a small ravine, and there are no homes to either side. As an added "feature," there's a wonderful fish market just a block away!
Location & Transit Info
Bayfield is a very walkable city, so your best bet is on foot.
Off street parking is available in the parking area next to the house (will fit two cars side-by-side). Plenty of street parking is also available, except during Applefest weekend in October. Less than 10 minute drive to Mt. Ashwabay ski hill, Big Top Chautauqua, hiking trails, beaches, and more.

Summary: We enjoyed the privacy of the property and the convenience to the location getting to downtown Bayfield. The backyard was pretty and we enjoyed hearing birds and woodpeckers while sitting at the bonfire. We appreciated the kind communication. There were also fun games inside- my boys liked the Tetris game ;)
