The property was basically what we expected. The beds were comfortable. The living room was spacious. The kitchen was functional. One bedroom had a bit of an odor. And we did have some issues with ants. Still, we really enjoyed our stay. The view is phenomenal!
Fantastic view. Close to Port Wing. Newer appliances. Spacious home. The ants were a real bummer but if they can solve that problem (and a couple of sticky doors) we would stay again. Very attentive host as well.
We had an amazing stay by Lake Superior, it was very relaxing and the property was perfect! The property was very dog friendly with lots of area to walk and explore.
Incredible view and a pleasantly uncluttered place to enjoy some downtime. The home is dated, but that is part of the charm. Within driving distance to Bayfield and other locations to get something to eat or explore. The owner can facilitate locally sourced foods to be in the fridge when you arrive, removing some of the need to forage since it's right there already. Basic kitchen tools are present and a propane grill. A nice clean place to stay with an incredible view -the waters and sky constantly change. The only issue we had were the not-so-comfy beds, but we might be picky? Not sure, but besides that this place is fantastic.
Everything was great and probably better than the listing. We cooked several melas and the kitchen had everything we needed, well stocked!The sunsets, wildlife and hiking were the highlights.Thanks for everything Purple Shores!
Purple Waves is a comfortable and well appointed house to get away from it all. A huge window overlooks the lake, It's a mesmerizing show moment to moment as the light and weather shift throughout the day. We stayed the second week of April and the area was quiet and empty -- quite peaceful.Everything is as described in the property listing. A big plus is the house guide notebook which is very detailed and contains local attractions and amenities. The section on local hikes is particularly well done. Communication with our host was excellent. We were very happy with our choice of Purple Waves.
Purple Waves was everything the listing detailed and more! It was clean, comfortable, had a beautiful lakefront view, and was pet friendly! The kitchen was stocked with pots, pans, utensils etc needed to cook or BBQ. They provided plenty of towels for both humans and pets as well as extra bedding and plenty of blankets. Highly recommend!
We had a beautiful weekend at the cabin. The cabin is in a great location for exploring Bayfield County or relaxing overlooking Lake Superior. The cabin is well updated, clean and has all needed amenities. We made a quick drive into Duluth for a date night and also explored east to Bayfield. We tried some locally sourced products provided by the owner and it was super nice to support local farmers. There is a super cute coffee shop in Port Wing that provides coffee for the house and is worth checking out for an afternoon cappuccino. We will definitely visit again.
The cabin is everything as described! Kitchen is well stocked. If you like to cook youâll want to bring your own spices and oils otherwise it has all the pans and utensils youâll need. Very comfortable beds. No unpleasant surprises at all!
Gorgeous location to explore the South Shore. Beds were comfortable and kitchen very usable for cooking for a family. We enjoyed the local goods that the host offered to source for us from local farmers. Outdoor grill was great and lots of chairs are available to enjoy the view. Plenty of blankets and linens too. Note there is no washer/dryer for longer stays. Its a wonderful place!
