THE SPACE

You’ll have access to the upper three levels of the house, yard, grounds and all decks. The ground level apartment and garage are private for the caretakers who are there to maintain the extensive grounds on the property. The apartment has its own private entrance which is completely separate from the main house. You may occasionally see the caretakers as they split their time between the apartment and another residence. They are always very respectful of the guest spaces and tend to keep to themselves so you may not see them at all. You should feel free to enjoy the Wright House and make it your home during your stay.

SERVICE ANIMALS - Please note, we only accept pets on a case by case basis. If you want to bring your pet, or if your pet is a service animal, please notify us prior to booking as pet stays require additional cleaning.

My wife and I hosted our elderly parents for a fall getaway this past weekend at the Wright House in Bayfield. From the initial inquiry, to the incredible responsiveness, recommendations, and service, and of course the absolutely breathtaking view and accommodations, we could not have been happier.

The house was immaculate with very nice touches of service throughout. It had everything we needed and more. We were greeted upon arrival with wine, chocolates, a nice card, and even fresh flowers.

Upon departure, we were surprised with some unseasonal snowfall (which was beautiful) and even more pleasantly surprised by the housekeeping staff having cleared our car of snow from the night before. Truly amazing and top notch!

Jenna, thank you for being a great host. The Wright House was more than an accommodation, it was truly “an experience” for my family and parents. We will definitely return to the Wright House in Bayfield!

Our group had such a great time at the Wright House. We were able to truly escape our respective cities, relax, and work remotely during the pandemic. We cooked a ton of great food and had everything we needed in the kitchen. The grill and fire pits got good use as well!

The close proximity to Bayfield was super convenient for a day trip to Madeline Island, and any quick grocery needs in town, but the house feels remote and completely private. It really was an absolutely ideal location. Setting up our stay was easy, and I hope to go back one day!

I stayed with a group of women at Jenna’s Bayfield, WI house over this past weekend and had such a wonderful time! We were awestruck upon entering every room of the house. There are views for ddaaaaayyyyssss and the stars were absolutely amazing. Jenna was very accomidating and responsive! She is awesome! Bonus- i spent many hours in the reclining patio chairs out by the fire pit. Perfect for star gazing! Once you sit down, its hard to get back up!
— Elizabeth F.
We stayed at The Wright House in Bayfield with our extended family. The property is very unique with one of the best views we have had. While the main floor works well for larger groups, there are several smaller areas around the home for guests to spread out.
— Charlie C.
Amazing stay! Beautiful scenery, very responsive host, amenities, close to restaurants, and endless views from every room and every window! Staying here makes you feel like you are on an island vacation. Highly recommend staying here!
— Maddolyn R.
Jenna, the house was beautiful with incredible views. All of the beds were very comfortable and you were very accommodating throughout our stay. I will definitely being staying there again.
— Cory B.
We rented The Wright House in Bayfield for our Covid elopement in early October, and OH MY GOD I’m so glad we did! It was the perfect spot! Beautiful views from every room, a kitchen with everything you’d need, and just an all around amazing place!

We decided on having the ceremony in the library, overlooking the backdrop of ferns that are at least 20 feet long. The spot was perfect for the 7 of us there in person, and their WiFi made it possible for us to have the rest of our family virtually present for our ceremony. Being able to see 7 of the 12 Apostle Islands made drinking our morning coffee in either the living room or the deck downright magical!

The caretakers do a great job at keeping the place sparkling and Jenna is always only a text away with any questions that you have! If you’re thinking of having your elopement or small wedding around Bayfield, The Wright House is your place!
— Emma S.
The Wright House and it’s beautiful views literally took our breath away!! There where 7 ladies and there was plenty of room for all! 7 women all taking showers in the morning and never ran out of hot water (amazing in itself!)

There where treats and wine ready for us when we arrived and every question I asked before arrival was answered personally and in full by Jenna! She gave us great recommendations on the things we where interested in doing while in Bayfield. Only regret is we wished we would have had more time!!

We hope to return to this amazing house in the future. Thank you Jenna!!!!
— Deborah S.
The Wright House was a superb house for our group. We had a wide age range in our group and I was very particular about how the house was set up to accommodate 80+ year old parents. Jenna was very instrumental in making sure the house fit our needs. The view is incredible!! We stayed in a few nights to cook and hang out and thoroughly enjoyed watching many birds, sail boats, and stars. The location is very private, which we loved, yet close enough to downtown Bayfield. Jenna is a delight. She recommended many great activity and restaurant options and was very responsive if we needed anything. I would highly recommend Open Air Places and the Wright House.
— Lynda S.
The best views on the planet! Super clean! Absolutely amazing to watch the storms roll in during the evening! My children loved it! We will be back shortly if available!!
— Kristin S.
The Wright House was absolutely incredible!!! I stayed there with a group of 10 girls for a bachelorette party and we could not be more happy with it. The views out the big windows were indescribable, pictures don’t even do it justice! There was plenty of space for everyone and the beds were very comfy. The kitchen was gorgeous and had all the cooking and serving supplies you could need. We spent hours on the outdoor deck and patio overlooking the lake taking in the view, and the stars at night were bright and plentiful. The host, Jenna, was extremely friendly and helpful - a joy to work with planning the trip! I couldn’t ask for anything better - 11 out of 10 stars!
— Katie P.
WOW! What an amazing place to find ourselves. Great hosts, caretakers & VIEWS! The various rooms offer solace to individuals away from the beautiful gathering spaces throughout. The outdoor areas provide a place to let the curious mind wander off into the galaxies at night. Did I mention there are cascading ferns inside this spacious and gorgeous home? Savor every moment of your stay at this conveniently located yet tastefully secluded gem in the woods.
— Jaime D.
We stayed at the Wright House August 2019. Found it online and sight unseen. The pictures don’t do this very special spot in Bayfield justice. From the moment you enter the wooded driveway after a short drive from town until you reach the house it’s magical. The views from the house of the the Apostle Islands and Lake Superior are absolutely amazing and calming. Having been coming to this here since I was a kid I have never seen such views. From most every room of the house your view is Lake Superior and the Apostle Islands. Night time around the fire is equally as spectacular with the stars in the sky.

The house itself provides for a great group or small gathering. Bedrooms are all comfortable and most with a lake view. The kitchen is fully stocked with all you would need to make a great meal. There is dinning at the kitchen island, dinning room and outdoor table and chairs.

We had a full weekend of plans on the lake. Had we known how spectacular this spot was before coming we would have planned to be at the house more. You really hated to leave once you got there.

The caretakers were amazing providing fresh flowers throughout the house.

Jenna, from Open Air Places was also amazing to work with. She was prompt in all her correspondence. She provided a great list of things to do in the area and checked in with us to make sure we had everything we needed for a great stay.

Would I stay here again? Absolutely! Would I work with Jenna/Open Air Places again? Absolutely!

Thanks for a beautiful experience at the Wright House.

Jenna was so helpful with every detail of our stay at the Wright House in Bayfield; from leaving us goody bags and fresh blueberries to patiently suggesting best places to go fruit picking and favorite Apostle Island cruises. Jenna is a treasure! And the house is absolutely stunning. The views from the huge glass windows in living, dining, kitchen and most bedrooms are outstanding. The redone kitchen is beautiful and well equipped. The master shower is luxurious. The grounds are expansive and gave our two families with 8 teens enough room to move. We all wish we could’ve just stayed and never have to leave to go back to reality. Wright House is a magical setting and gorgeous house—we would all highly recommend!
— Valerie S.
The view alone is worth the cost of the stay, it was wonderful waking up to this view every day. I doubt you can find a better view of the Apostle Islands in the region. The owners were very friendly, responsive, and industrious. Many rooms have been newly renovated. The second floor modern bathroom was a particular treat. Lots of room for our larger group to spread out. The property itself is quite secluded and there is a nice outdoor patio.
— Chris S.
The Wright House in Bayfield WI is the most amazing house I have ever been to…the view, the accommodations, the rooms and the area make for a great stay and a very unique experience.
— Tatiana L.
We loved the view and being outside of town!
We hiked the trail that starts at the Meyers beach lot. Great trail. Round trip it is 11 miles but can be shortened. We sailed with Dream Catchers on the Egret boat and they were awesome!
Fat Radish was our favorite restaurant.
— Liz B.
One the best places to stay with family, we completely enjoyed the view from the house.
