Visit the Rittenhouse; Bayfield Wisconsin

Any visit to the north woods of Bayfield Wisconsin must include a stay at the Rittenhouse. Bayfield takes great pride in this great old lady of the Victorian era. Bayfield was once home to captains who operated ships on the lake; these captains and their wives built gorgeous homes in Bayfield, and you can get the flavor of this town by seeing the homes and visiting the Maritime Museum. Come-stay in a B & B; Bayfield, Wisconsin has something for everyone. Bayfield today is a bustling town that features water sports activities of all kinds as well as quaint shops and fruit orchards that sit on the hills above town. And no trip to Bayfield is complete without a visit to Madeline Island. Historic Madeline Island can be reached via the Madeline Island Ferry Line. Boats leave every half hour in the summer, and the trip across the lake takes about a half hour. The Island was first inhabited by the Ojibwa Indians over 500 years ago, and Islanders will proudly share their history and culture with you. Mopeds and bikes are available for rent on the Island, so you can ride out to the state park and see the rock formations and hike the nature trail through the lagoon. You can also rent kayaks and boats of all kinds on the Island. So, come-visit the Bayfield Peninsula. Stay at the Rittenhouse-Bayfield awaits you!
