5 Reasons You Should Host Your Next Retreat in Bayfield, Wisconsin
Are you thinking of hosting a retreat? Maybe an off-site for your leadership team, a crafting retreat for your quilting circle, or a writing retreat to help creatives get focused?
Bayfield is a great location for retreats. Here’s why:
5 Reasons You Should Host Your Next Retreat in Bayfield, Wisconsin
1. Accessible from several metro areas
Bayfield is 3:45 hours from Minneapolis / St. Paul, 1:45 hours from Duluth, 4:30 from Green Bay, and three hours from Eau Claire.
Close enough that your retreat guests won’t feel overwhelmed by the distance, far enough that they’ll feel they’re truly “getting away” from their everyday lives.
2. Great group lodging options
Do we think Hale House is Bayfield’s best vacation rental for groups? Of course we do! Our 2,540-square-foot historic home can sleep up to 12 people.
But if Hale House is booked out, you can also check out The Blue Vista Farmhouse (which sleeps 10) or The Wild Rice Retreat Center.
3. Experienced vendors without the big city prices
If you’ve ever hosted an event in a major metro area, you know how costs can add up. Since Bayfield is a popular destination for weddings and elopements, we have great vendors who are experienced working with groups … without the price tags you’ll find in big cities.
A few of our favorites:
Lace & Brass Events if you need help with planning or decor
4. Outdoor activities for every fitness + interest level
Bayfield has trails that range from half-mile boardwalks to 4.5 mile hikes exploring sea caves. If your retreat guests enjoy nature best from a seat on a boat, you can add a chartered sailing trip to your itinerary.
And for your more adventurous guests? They can try a sea kayaking tour, mountain biking or downhill skiing!
5. Exactly the right amount to do
You want your retreat guests to relax and rejuvenate, not suffer from FOMO. Bayfield has plenty to do - lovely bookstores to poke through, views to admire, boutiques to explore.
But it’s not so busy and bustling and over-stuffed with events that your guests will feel pressured to do too much or overextend themselves.
