“Such a great, old-fashioned ‘Mom & Pop’ vibe! Having the walking trail just down the stairs is such a nice way to walk to the shops and restaurants in town. We attended our first Big Top Chautauqua show, and the free shuttle stopping there was such a huge bonus.”

We’re the Carriers – Isaac and Mollie. We’re the ones behind the desk, answering the phone, changing the laundry, and pushing the cleaning cart – alongside our amazing staff.
In 2016, after our son Axel was born, Isaac got the idea to move back to his hometown of Bayfield, Wisconsin. The crazy part is he wanted to buy a motel.
In 2017, with an 11-month-old (and another on the way), we took the leap and purchased Seagull Bay Motel.
Since then, we’ve been raising our three boys and restoring our lakeside motel and adjoining properties to create a welcoming and peaceful atmosphere just for you.
There are many reasons to pack your bags and stay at Seagull Bay, but don’t take our word for it!
“I’ve been coming to Seagull Bay for over 30 years and always feared it would someday be replaced by a new, modern, but cookie-cutter, hotel. But you Carriers have done an OUTSTANDING job of keeping what so many of us longtime customers LOVED about the place Mike and Jeannie created. But enhancing it in the most wonderful ways (I LOVE the new bedding…) I used to come to Bayfield and Seagull Bay to escape the demands of a rigorous job and just BREATH for a while. Now that I’m retired, I still anticipate and enjoy what it has always been – a lovely, calm, and peaceful place to be. Well done, Carriers.”

“Quaint hotel with sweeping views of the bay. We had a second-floor room that included a shared balcony which was a lovely spot for morning coffee. The coffee maker in the room made a surprisingly good cup. Nothing fancy about this classic upgraded motel but very clean and charming place to spend a night.”

“A clean, charming motel with attention to detail. You could tell the owners care about their property and their customers. Wonderful lake views sitting on the deck or just looking out your window. Access to the walking trail makes for an easy walk into town.”
