Rooms With Views
You’ll be staying in a historic Bayfield home with a story all its own. R.D. Pike, a key figure in local lore, built Pinehurst Inn at Pikes Creek in 1885 as a private residence for his family. Today, the nearby waters of Lake Superior are crisp and clear, offering opportunity for adventure. Orchards, artists’ galleries and golf courses peacefully co-exist. It is an idyllic setting.
Get a feel for the eight rooms — five in the Main Historic House and three in the new eco-friendly Garden House — reserve the one that catches your eye.

Find additional space to relax in the common areas, front porch or secluded sitting areas around the property.
