The space
INSIDE
Step into the bright white kitchen, complete with a butcher block countertop and modern appliances. The sink overlooks the lush backyard, making dish duty a bit more delightful. Pull up a stool at the peninsula to help prepare meals or just chat with the chef. The kitchen opens up to a cozy area with a couch and TV, perfect for movie nights or cheering on the Jays. Upstairs, you'll find three inviting bedrooms that comfortably sleep six.

The dining area, located right in front of a warm gas fireplace, sets the scene for memorable meals.

OUTSIDE
Sliding doors beside the dining area lead to a patio with dining for six under a covered umbrella, a propane BBQ ready for your grilling masterpieces, and a large partially fenced-in yard perfect for bringing along your furry friends. The outdoor gas fire pit, surrounded by Adirondack chairs, is ideal for roasting marshmallows and stargazing. For a bit of classic lawn fun, there's a set of croquet ready to go.
Out front, enjoy your morning coffee on the charming front porch, soaking in the peaceful vibes of Bayfield.

SLEEPING SPACES (All located upstairs)
Premier Bedroom with King Bed
Bedroom 2 - Queen Bed
Bedroom 3 - Single Bed with Single Trundel bed that rolls out.

BATHROOMS
Main Floor 3 Piece Bathroom
Upstairs 4 Piece Bathroom - Combination Tub/Shower

NOTE: Playpen/Highchair available upon request

NOTE: I expect we will have more beach this Summer 2024, depending on lake levels and what the lake pushes up. There are lake accesses all along Tuyll Street which is a great adventure to find your favorite! And you can walk 2 min to the Main Beach.
The lakebed can be sandy or stoney depending on what the lake gives you that day. But it sure is fun to try to find the ever changing sandbars. Generally you will find sand 3ft out. It's fun to go stone collecting - Lake Huron is a geologists paradise! Just bring some water shoes. The nice thing is, it's not weedy or slimy at all.

Our stay at Jennifer’s place was perfect. She proactively sent all the information needed for an easy check in and stress free weekend trip. The house is exactly as described - super cute. I spent lots of time sitting on the fabulous front porch drinking wine and enjoying the ambiance of Bayfield. The location is priceless - walking distance to everything; restaurants, shops, beach. We will definitely rent again on our next trip to Bayfield.

The house and Jen's support in finding us a place was amazing. It was completely last minute and her responsiveness and kindness was deeply appreciated. While we had a deep understanding of the area, for those that do not, it is almost downtown, super walkabout, great back yard, overall pretty clean and a great place for two families

We stayed at Afternoons on the Porch while visiting some local friends. After our 12 hour drive, it was wonderful to check in to such a clean and comfortable home. Check in was a breeze with the lockbox. We were traveling with our two corgis and they were delighted by the grassy yard and the homemade cookies left for them. Everything was as pictured in the listing and the king bed upstairs was very comfortable. The weather was warm while we were there and the AC did a great job keeping us cool. The guide provided was helpful when we were exploring Bayfield and the area. Don’t miss the epic sunsets at Pioneer Park. We plan to return yearly and would not hesitate to stay at this home or any of Jennifer’s other properties in the future! 10/10 experience!
