A countertop bar with 4 barstools and small dining table which seats 4 in the kitchen with views of the lake. Everyone will enjoy helping! And there's another dining area that seats 6.

BBQ up some steaks on the BBQ under a covered deck (which you'll appreciate if it's raining). Personally I savor quiet time on the sunset deck. In the evening, enjoy the fire pit with s'mores under the stars. Life can't get better than that! And no need to leave your dog behind we know pets are family NOTE: Lake Access is a rolling hill entrance. Lots of beach this year - 2025 The water can be sandy or stoney depending on what the lake gives you that day. But it sure is fun to try to find the ever changing sandbars. Even if it's stoney…it's fun to go stone collecting – Lake Huron is a geologists paradise! Just bring some water shoes. The nice thing is, it's not weedy or slimy at all.

Pioneer Park is another local favorite—kids will love cooling down at the splash pad. There's always something happening here, whether it's morning yoga or artists painting the sunset.

With wooded trails, scenic country vistas and stunning Lake Huron, Bayfield is a beautiful place to explore no matter the season.

Your peace of mind is my priority, and I’m here to help make sure you have the best vacation possible.

We enjoyed our 2 week stay at Woodland Private Retreat. Woodland is a spacious house, with a well equipped kitchen and many games to entertain guests. We appreciated the art in the house especially the art deco style of the furnishings. The view of Lake Huron from the front garden, both decks and the living room was spectacular. The switchback path to the beach was rough in spots but, in our opinion, easier to navigate than the stairs at most cottages on Lake Huron.

Jennifer is a great host. A lot of information throughout. Very accommodating. Beach access is quite is very close but quite steep. Plenty of room for larger groups. Kitchen is quite large and well equipped. I would reserve again.

We had a wonderful week at Jennifer’s property. It is a large, private, and beautiful property with tremendous vistas of Lake Huron. After dark we would occasionally shoot some pool in the lower level. Great trip!
