About
Our lovingly restored Bayfield historic home once housed Herbert C. Hale, general manager Bayfield Transfer Railway. Mr Hale’s employer - William F. Dalrymple - had a grand vision for Bayfield. He imagined crosscountry railroads and ports up and down the Superior shore, things that would make Bayfield rival Chicago.
The bustling railway and economic expansion Mr. Hale envisioned was not to be. The home went on to have many more interesting caretakers in the decades since.
We hope you feel the spirit and excitement of Bayfield's rich history when you stay at Hale House and take a moment to imagine the people who came before to make this the interesting and beautiful place it is today.
Setting
Hale House is located in the vibrant small town of Bayfield, Wisconsin - the Gateway to the Apostle Islands. We are a short walk to downtown where you can experience unique shops, restaurants and charming small town life. The Madeline Island Ferry departs just a few blocks away.
Feel like kayaking, hiking, berry picking, sailing or discovering one of the area's many lovely beaches? All this and more is why we have fallen in love with Bayfield and look forward to sharing it with you.
