About this property

Waterfront guesthouse at cliff's edge of Lake Superior's South Shore, Sky Fire.

Relax with expansive views of Lake Superior as you bask in the glow of the wood fireplace's radiance. Waves echoing off the brownstone cliff upon which this special home is perched, absorb the splendor of bald and golden eagles soaring only feet away.

Minutes from your nest is Meyer's Beach, the common entry point to begin your kayak or hiking excursion to the sea and ice caves of this, the greatest of all lakes. Bike, hiking, motorsports, class one trout fishing, waterfalls and XC ski trails abound.

The entire, two bedroom home that is Sky Fire is your private oasis away from home.

Seasonally, bathe in warm sunlight while relaxing in the south facing, enclosed front porch. Enjoy sitting around the fire pit in the front yard as you soak up the beauty of Lake Superior a stone's throw away. Your wonderful day having turned to night, the dark, amazingly starry sky over Lake Superior may grace the night owl with a show of the magically colorful northern lights. Well behaved, non-destructive, potty-trained dogs are welcome.

Snowmobile and ATV trails/routes are literally at my driveway's entry point. The area also has world class, well maintained fat tire bike trails that are groomed for winter riding. Wanna mush your own sled team of dogs? That's available nearby as well.

Indoors fun and gaming more your speed? Just short of Bayfield, nearby "Legendary Water's and Casino," awaits your arrival.

A peaceful, 1.3 mile walk from the home will have you stepping foot onto a glorious sandy swimming beach. With Lake Superior literally lapping at your feet, this beach stretches over a mile to the quaint town of Cornucopia where you'll find the marina, coffee shop, restaurant/bar, art and the, "It has everything" general store that is *Ehler's.

A 23 mile drive into Bayfield, WI will take you to a charming community serving tourist and locals alike, all of whom have an affinity for the allure of the nearby Apostle Islands that await your visit. Just a short ferry ride away, quaint Madeline Island is yours to explore and enjoy.

*Ehler's closes for the winter season

Winter Wonderland
This was a much needed getaway that turned into a late winter wonderland. We received ~12 inches of snow during our stay, which kept up mainly inside. The guesthouse provided us with spectacular views and was warm and comfortable. The games and puzzles provided helped to keep us entertained. The few times we were out walking the dogs the entire area was peaceful and serene. Communication about the impending weather and snow removal was excellent. We would love to go back there again.

Comfortable and quiet
My husband, son and I spent a long weekend relaxing, hiking, and enjoying the view. The cabin was clean and well stocked. Erin communicated well and even made sure we had an instapot for our chili. Despite the rain and lack of winter snow, we still found plenty of beaches and trails to explore nearby.

AWESOME!
You walk into the cabin and there "she", Lake Superior, is in all her glory. We had spectacular views of Lake Superior and could see all the way to Minnesota. The only bad thing about the cabin was the furniture was dirty and full of dog hair. The furniture was also very uncomfortable. Other than that, we had a good time.

Great week at Sky Fyre
Love the cabin! Lovely, spacious great room with pretty views of Bark Bay beyond the trees. Neighbor/owners very nice and not intrusive. Quite clean. When the smoke detector battery died and it was too high to reach without a ladder, Erin the property mgr got a handyman in to fix it right away -- yay! We enjoyed the fire pit and sunsets in the back yard. The area is magical. We'd been staying on the MN North Shore but our favorite rental went away and this was our experiment to stay on the lake. North Shore can be sort of a zoo; Cornucopia is the opposite. Quiet, quaint, arty, and 30 minutes from Bayfield, Madeline Island and all they have to offer. Dinner at the Copper Trout in Bayfield was fabulous. Nearby we saw a wolf along the road; wolf tracks on a beach on another day; an owl flew low in front of the windshield one night, and an eagle was nesting next door, flying across our lake view daily. Thanks for having us; we'd love to come back!
