The Sugar Shack family retreat w arcade & hot tub. Walk to Main St. and Beach

Come visit the beautiful historic town of Bayfield and stay in our very chic family friendly cottage by the lake, affectionally known as the Sugar Shack. Just a one-minute walk to the beach and a short stroll and/or bike ride to the village square where you can enjoy local shops and restaurants. Stay in, cozy up and enjoy family time with some arcade games & vinyl, BBQ on the patio, relax in the hot tub, watch the kids play on the playset or light the campfire and enjoy the starry nights.

When you first arrive you will use your smart key code to enter which is active from 4pm on you check in date to 10am on the day of your check out. You will be greeted with an open concept, living room, kitchen and dining space complete with a large screen TV (w/ Netflix and Disney +), an arcade game, record player and gas fireplace. Down the hall there is a mudroom to hide all the stuff, a powder room, a second access to the back porch and full-size laundry hiding behind a cute barn door. Our main bathroom is clean and modern and has a dual rain / handheld shower head and is enclosed with a sliding glass door. Next, we have the 'Nautical room' with bunch beds, a nook for the kids to chill, and toys and books for them to enjoy. At the end of the hall there is a linen closet with extra towels and blankets if you need them, and some board games... note the Starwars / 80s theme. Then we have the 'Pineapple Room' (Master) with a king size bed and the softest sheets ever, and a desk so you can "work from home" Speaking of, the internet is 50 fiber and it works great. Finally, the 'Fern and Fawn Room' with double bed and Brooklinen sheets (mmm). Head out back, and chill on the deck, where you can grill on the BBQ and sit down to a dining table that seats 6, shaded with a large umbrella, or relax in the hot tub while taking in the colors of the beautiful Lake Huron sunset. The backyard is spacious and well-kept with privacy hedges surrounding it. Towards the back there is a small playground/swing set for the kids and a fire pit. As if that were not enough, we have a beautiful porch to enjoy your morning coffee and watch all the passersby, or peak down the end of the street and see the lake horizon. Take a 1 min walk towards it and get a gorgeous view of the water or take the slightly adventure hike down the 'kind of' steep hill and enjoy the beach firsthand.

Steps away from the Beach
Wow!!! Being our 1st Vrbo stay for our 29th Wedding Anniversary, Betty was the most Incredible host. Our communications were many, but effortless and extremely quick and helpful. I cannot begin to elaborate on how well maintained this property is, the Magickal properties of this home are incredible and are many (the singing microwave still makes me smile). The location to the beach is wonderful and so immediate, but offers a few options. So tranquil and relaxing, and a bird watchers dream! I cannot say enough good things regarding our host Betty, as she is SO incredible to deal with and it was truly a "home away from home' experience. Thanks again Betty, and your attention to detail was absolutely a key to our successful vacation. Looking forward to coming back again!!! Thank you again, so much!!!!!
