Highly Recommended! We had a wonderful stay at The Little Inn in Bayfield. This hotel is a true gem, vintage beautiful, well maintained and in a great location. The staff were friendly, welcoming and professional. The room was beautiful, renovated, comfortable, very clean, the place is spotless. We also enjoyed the meals at both restaurants, delicious food and great service. We’ll definitely return to Little Inn for more stays. Thank you to the entire team for making our visit so enjoyable!

Beautiful inn, with comfortable and charming restaurant and bar. Stayed here many times over the last 25 years. Wondering if there is now a policy that includes dogs in rooms? Fair bit of barking going on in the next room. Otherwise, lovely stay.

Enjoyed every bit of our stay. It’s a charming old inn. Kept very clean and the dining spaces are decorated so nicely. We stayed in room 16, it was spacious, bathroom was a good size. We ate breakfast there which was very good. TV didn’t always work great, but didn’t spend much time watching it anyways. Housekeeping checked on us day two asking if we needed anything. The balcony was so nice, we sat out there and enjoyed the view of the Main Street. Overall it was the perfect location in Bayfield, it was well kept and the bed and pillows were comfortable.

Great location in Bayfield. Comfortable bed. House keeping staff were friendly and helpful. Front reception day staff not very friendly or approachable. Bathroom floor cracked- needs to be replaced. Room was 60 degrees when we arrived. Could not adjust temperature. Fireplace would not heat room. It was like staying in a refrigerator.

Just be aware it’s difficult for a person with a walker to move around the room and the halls. Room was nice except entrance is dark. Needs a ceiling light or wall light. Was worried I’d pull the small cabinet off the wall in the bathroom when attempting to open it to get at shampoo etc. Very tight. Couldn’t get regular tv working. But could access prime etc. Beds were comfy. Great towels. God water pressure. Enjoyed rr outdoor seating in the shade and breakfast was vg. Location is great for strolling Main Street. We really enjoyed it and the issues were just small stuff.
