This lovely Queen Anne Victorian mansion was built In 1908 and features some of the best views you'll find of Lake Superior and the Apostle Islands. Seven guest rooms and delightful first floor gathering rooms are lovingly restored to their original splendor. Each guest room has a private bath and wood-burning fireplace. Most feature splendid Lake Superior views, and two have whirlpool tubs.

The Chateau is a fun gathering place for many of our special events and tasting weekends. Furnished with Victorian antiques, original stained glass, fireplaces, a grand porch, and fantastic views of Lake Superior, Chateau Boutin is often reserved for small business meetings, retreats, and private mystery dinner.

The home's massive, flower-filled front porch, along with a lovely fountain garden and 5 acres of manicured grounds, provide the ultimate setting for any special occasion, including weddings in Bayfield, Wisconsin. The Chateau is also available for private house rentals. For information, contact our Events Coordinator.
