A Midwestern Sanctuary
Only a mile from the downtown Bayfield, Wisconsin, and perfectly placed along the shoreline of Lake Superior, Wild Rice sits on the edge of slow-paced living, intentional innovation and natural beauty. Often called "The Gateway to The Apostle Islands," this Midwestern locale continually finds its spark and imagination by simply letting nature take the lead.
