Wild Rice Retreat

Wonderstate coffee and a French press were waiting in our room each morning, which was such a treat. We came as a small group for a reading retreat, and the cabins were cozy and carefully designed. There was a nice balance between having our own comfortable space to read alone and gathering in the main building. The food was fresh and healthy, too. Thanks to everyone who makes this place special. I can’t wait to come back.

The staff were especially kind when they helped me get my car unstuck in the snow. My Treehouse room was small but had everything I needed, though light sleepers might want earplugs. I’d also like to see composting added, and a 360° room view online would be useful. The property is easy to get around, but a few paths were bumpy or packed with snow. I visited in February, when the woods, Lake Superior, and Madeline Island made a peaceful backdrop, with sparkling snow by day and stars at night. I enjoyed the restaurant building’s history and how easy it was to get into downtown Bayfield. It was a lovely weekend and a great setting for a yoga retreat.

I spoke at the Women in Real Estate and Development retreat and really enjoyed my time here. The peaceful setting, hiking trails, sauna, and peace pod were highlights. The pods were more comfortable than I expected, and the food was healthy with some great vegetable options.

I came away feeling recharged, and the food was both healthy and unbelievably good. The property sits right on beautiful Lake Superior, with just the kind of peace I’d been craving. It would be a lovely place to visit with a friend, your partner, your mom, or anyone.
