​
Choose your basecamp and make your stay part of the adventure.
The North Channel Cabin
Perched on a scenic bluff overlooking Lake Superior, the North Channel Cabin on Madeline Island offers sweeping views of the Apostle Islands. Accessible by ferry or the True North Water Taxi, this remote and secluded island retreat is perfect for couples or small families seeking adventure, island charm, and a deep connection with nature.
Located just a mile from Big Bay State Park, it's an ideal base for hiking, paddling, and exploring the area from your own private escape.
Sailor Springs Glamping
Tucked into the woods just two miles from downtown Bayfield and the marina, Sailor Springs offers an adventurous hike-in glamping experience.
Enjoy the comforts of a furnished tent, a campfire under the stars, and the sounds of nature all around. It’s the perfect basecamp for sailing, hiking, and exploring the Bayfield area and Apostle Islands.
Stay Aboard Starling
Turn your sailing trip into a one-of-a-kind overnight stay aboard Starling, docked right in the heart of Bayfield at the city marina. Book a Bayfield Adventure Sail, then check into the boat the evening before your trip and spend the night on the water. Watch the sunset, enjoy dinner in town, and fall asleep to the gentle motion of the harbor.
This is a “glamping-style” experience—Starling has power, a small galley, and cozy sleeping space for up to four guests. Bring your own bedding or sleeping bags and enjoy a unique, floating stay on Lake Superior.
