Kick off the weekend with dinner + live music from Javier Trejo.

Doors open at 5PM
Music begins at 5:30PM

FRIDAY + SATURDAY 10/1-10/2 | CODY’S CORNER LAUNCH | 11AM–4PM (OR SELL-OUT!)

POV: your hotel room has a secret snack + self-care drawer. 👀

Meet the St. James Social Guest Pantry — our take on the traditional minibar, now tucked into every guest room.

Sted chocolate. Good Flower Farm favorites. Silky eye masks. Protein bites. Travel essentials. Late-night treats. And a few surprises we’ll let you discover for yourself.

Everything is intentionally chosen.
Everything is something we’d actually want while traveling.

Because the best hotel stays are in the little details — especially the ones waiting for you in your room.

A new way to boutique hotel.

Come for Lake Superior. Stay for the snack drawer. 🤎

Current mood: out of office, under the umbrella. ☀️ 🏝️

Some of the best moments in Bayfield aren’t the ones you plan—they’re the ones where time stretches a little longer, the breeze off Lake Superior finds you, and the only thing on your agenda is deciding what comes next.

We’re here until then.

We have made the difficult decision to close the restaurant tonight Thursday 7/16 for the safety of our team and our guests. As of now we still are hopeful to be open Friday and Saturday and will update here if anything changes. Thank you for understanding and stay safe 🙏🙏

The season is changing, and so is the table.
June brings a collection of dishes inspired by the Northwoods at its most abundant—Lake Superior whitefish, wild mushrooms, local greens, early summer produce, and a few indulgences along the way.

Thoughtfully sourced. Chef-driven. Best enjoyed among good company.

Explore the new menu and join us for dinner Thursday-Saturday 5-9pm. Pizza Tuesdays start at 5pm. Online reservations available.

Clean lines. Soft light. Thoughtful details.

From the millwork to the bed frame to the way the morning sun hits the floors — every layer of our guest rooms was designed to feel intentional and suspended in time.

An award-winning collaboration with created around the idea that great hospitality isn’t just experienced, it’s felt.

The kind of space that makes you want to slow down, settle in, and stay a little longer. Your summer reset awaits 🌊
