Wonderful location - close to all the shops and restaurants downtown!! The house was very clean and had everything we needed! The host was wonderful and very responsive! We went over the Fourth of July and enjoyed the fireworks on the balcony! House was well maintained and roomy. ##### Don L. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dianne S. 21 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A great place to entertain We stayed at Hale House while visiting our son, daughter-in-law and grandson. The high moment of the trip was when we were able to have a family dinner in that beautiful outdoor space. The kitchen is lovely and easy to cook in. The bedrooms and baths are a little different from a modern home as this is a historic home but still very comfortable. We spent a great deal of time reading in front of the bay window at the front of the home. Lovely stay. ##### Dianne S. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Danielle K. 2 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing Experience! Our extended family was traveling to Bayfield for a long weekend and the Hale House could not have been a more perfect place to stay! We had 15 people total 9 adults and 6 kids ranging from 4 months to 11 years old. The house accommodated our group perfectly and had something for everyone. Not a single detail is missing from games, cozy nooks for reading (a great selection of books if you have forgotten one), a well stocked kitchen with all the items you need to make meals at home. It was the perfect central location to all of the Bayfield adventures and the hosts were incredible- responsive and so helpful with local suggestions for our crew. We would highly highly recommend a stay at the Hale House. ##### Danielle K.
