Stately home in Washburn

most efficient use of space, beautifully decorated, spacious

Pictures don’t do this home justice! It’s beautiful inside and out! We unfortunately didn’t have time for a fire, but did get to take advantage of the nice weather and sit out on the deck. Homeowner was easy to talk to and replied promptly. Only thing that could be considered kind of negative is that there isn’t any air conditioning downstairs but all bedrooms have a unit of some kind. Hoping to come back next summer!

Very comfortable, very homey! We would have liked to have facial tissues and more toilet paper in the bathrooms. The kitchen was lacking napkins, salt and a wire whisk. There was no hot water when we arrived. We appreciated that the owners responded immediately when we contacted them about it. We would most likely try to stay there again, the next time we are in the area.

Loved the property. Easy walking distance to great food (Cocos) and good drinks, and ice cream!

We loved this place. Our extended family has been vacationing in Washburn for 20 years at various places. This was the best. Beautiful, spacious, historic, yet updated wonderfully. We took advantage of outstanding indoor and outdoor space. The host was great to work with…. I couldn’t recommend it more.

Excellent historical home in a great location to visit Lake Superior. Had a great time with family enjoying outdoor activities.

Great

The first thing we commented on was the very spacious living room with all of the beautiful windows. The space throughout the house was really nice and a little ups and down stairs added a quaint touch. We did have plenty of room to spread out which was great the nice big Back Fence yard was good for our dog and grandson

The “Barron” is perfect for our family for the week of the 4th of July- we enjoyed Friendly Valley Beach, Cornucopia Beach, Little Girls Point at Saxon Harbor, Copper Falls State Park, Golfing, and The Oredock. Family breakfast and dinners and of course- Frankie’s Pizza! We topped it all off with the festivities of the 4th- the parade and a family reunion at the beach- The band shell for music and the fireworks! It was a Memory Maker for sure and this home is a perfect place for us to make it all happen!

Close proximity to Apostle Islands and beautiful waterfalls

Our stay will be a fond memory amongst family and friends. The Baron is a great house and well meets the needs of a larger party of guests.

We loved staying at “The Baron”. This historic home was a wonderful place for our family, which included six adults and two toddlers, to stay for our vacation to Lake Superior and the Apostle Islands. It is spacious and we had plenty of room to cook, dine and play games together. The bedrooms are quaint, and we having the fenced yard to hang out in was great. Mary was an amazing host! She was easy to communicate with and always immediately responded when we had any questions. We had a great time, and would love to return in the future.

Highly recommend staying here. Large fenced in yard to play in, too. Had everything we needed in kitchen. House itself is beautiful with panoramic windows. Beds were comfortable, quiet neighborhood, within walking distance to Lake Superior and downtown. The only thing I would change is the locking system on the doors. The kitchen door locked on us 3 times without us turning anything. Thankfully we put the spare key outside to get back in. Overall this was a fantastic place to stay!

We had a wonderful stay at the Stately Home. It was very comfortable with a lot of space for my family (6 adults). It provided everything we wanted, spacious kitchen, dining room, huge living room & comfortable bedrooms. Visiting in the winter we didn’t have the opportunity to enjoy the deck & backyard, but are looking forward to staying at the Stately for our 2025 holiday getaway.

we had a very nice time! The house was bigger than expected and very clean.

The house is a beautiful old home that has a combination of old charm and modern conveniences. The interior was very comfortable and the backyard was great for a family cookout and volleyball game. The location is in a wonderful small town close to many activities. We picked blueberries, went to the County Fair, hiked Houghton Falls, saw a show at the Big Top, disc golfed in Ashland, took a ferry to Madeline Island, spent afternoons on the beach with the unbelievably clear water of Lake Superior and enjoyed the shops and restaurants in Bayfield. Mary was responsive and helpful when we had questions.

It was my son and I and 5 of his friends to celebrate my son's birthday. There was room for all of us. Check-in was easy. Place was clean and more than comfortable. Nice big backyard. Guys had fun playing spike ball. Would recommend this place to any heading up to visit Apostle Islands.

We loved our stay! The house was bigger than we thought and the fenced-in backyard was amazing! We would definitely stay there again :)

Perfect for our trip with adult children. Enough space to not feel cramped, but cozy. Home was well appointed and just as described. Fenced in yard and use of garage a huge bonus! Great communication from our host. The area is so lovely with many things to do and see. We look forward to staying again.
