Top Big Top Chautauqua Hotel Reviews

Great Water Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The Raspberry suite was amazing. The room was very nice and clean, comfy bed, a nice jacuzzi to relax in after a long day walking around Madeline Island and Bayfield. The Inn is in such a great location to everything that Bayfield has to offer."

Harbor's Edge Motel

8/10 Good

"The location was great, right downtown Bayfield looking at Lake Superior! The room was very clean. It was small, but you learn to deal with that. The staff member we dealt with was very nice and helpful. We had a 2nd floor room facing Lake Superior and the harbor but the smoke from Canadian and Minnesota forest fires completely destroyed our view and the air quality! We basically were confined to our small room for two days because walking anywhere other than the close by restaurants was taxing! Island tours and cruises were cancelled, as well."

Legendary Waters Resort & Casino

10/10 Excellent

"This is a beautiful hotel. Its set in a beautiful location on the lake and near all of the great things Bayfield has to offer. The pool and spa were great. My only complaint is the food options were limited and closed early but takeout was available. The casino is small and quaint as the view and activities are the attraction. My room was beautifully maintained."

Wild Rice Retreat

8/10 Good

"Room wasn't well laid out to be able to unpack, all closet storage was in the kitchenette so drawers were full of utensils. No bathroom sink, you needed to use the kitchen sink, no bedside table for water. The biggest challenge was that there weren't blackout curtains so there was always light streaming in to wake you up. Noted that other amenities like yoga and meals are included but at the price point I expected a much more elevated room experience. Yoga classes were nice and all the meals were great. I would have appreciated some social events at night to have the opportunity to interact with other guests."

St. James Social

10/10 Excellent

"Gorgeous spaces! Check in was different with no in-person contact, but communication was good and room was easy to access. Elevator was very slow, so we took stairs to the second floor room (all rooms are on the second floor). Beautiful room and bathroom with high-end fixtures. Personal welcome note on the table was a nice touch. Record player and records available was unreal but fun! Breakfast was different from most hotels, but very enjoyable. Bed was SUPER comfortable!"
