As a solo woman traveler this was my paradise. It was isolated enough to give me the space and connection to nature I desired, but also felt really safe. The motion sensor flood light, external camera, and new locks and windows helped me to feel really secure. This property was so sweet and tidy and tucked away in the woods of Wisconsin. It had everything I needed while I was visiting! It’s also super close to downtown - the ferry, restaurants and beach. It’s only a short drive from many hiking routes, wineries and cideries. I can’t wait to go back again!
Check in was easy and house instructions were clear. The house was clean, the kitchen was well stocked, towels were provided, the beds were comfy, and there was enough linens for the futon. I did have to contact the owner and I got a response right away. The size of the cottage was perfect for our family of four. Loved our stay in Bayfield, we’re already planning our next trip.
Bayfield and Madeline Island are worth the visit. This property has everything you need! They have truly thought of everything for comfort and convenience! Well stocked kitchen, close to town, but far enough away that you feel like you’re tucked away in a forest paradise. Highly recommended!
This property was so beautiful! Well maintained, clean, and so many little details have been thought of and taken care of for you. And it’s literally only 4 minutes from town. We were originally a little concerned that there’s another rental cottage across the driveway, but this was a total non issue. Both properties had plenty of privacy. If you need a place to stay in bayfield choose this one!!
Immaculate, comfortable and just like the pictures. Every detail was thought out. The weather prevented us from going out to see the islands, but we had a great time anyway because the cottage was just right.
Very clean and well maintained property. Close to town, quiet woods setting, not far from orchards. Beautiful area. Many things to do in the area. We had a great trip

The place was cozy & had everything we needed! We loved our stay here
Stayed at the Rock Garden Cottage after a couple days of camping and it was awesome. The communication with the host was exceptional and he was very quick to respond to any questions you had. The location was beautiful and the colors of the surrounding forest in October was unreal. Highly recommend to stay here if you plan a fall trip up to Lake Superior!
Chris' property was very clean and had all of the amenities that we needed. It was close to downtown Bayfield and all of the orchards that we came to visit. We had a wonderful quiet stay for our belated anniversary getaway on the weekend of Apple Festival. Would recommend!
Perfect cozy place for a quiet peaceful stay, but still close to all the things we wanted to do. We will definitely be back!
Fruitloop Retreat is the perfect cabin for any group of four that wants to get away to Bayfield, WI. It was AWESOME! My first booking through VRBO and I would highly recommend.
Really enjoyed the secluded feel of the property while still being just minutes away from Bayfield. Everything functioned as expected, including the towel warmer! Thank you for being thoughtful hosts. Rick and Sue
