St. James Social - Boutique Hotel

Dont worry youre not on the lake, you dont miss it! Every detail of this place is 1970s perfection with a modern touch. Coffee is 5 stars, free breakfast bar was delish with meat, cheese, fruits, yogurt, hard eggs, and granola. Beds clean & comfy. Loved the record player in the room and played it, took us back in time. How nice to play a vinyl record, watch it turn, soak in the soft moments provided there. The sauna was good, clean, hot, & stylish. The rooftop had all the views we needed of the lake. Star gazed up there too. The bartender invented a new drink for me, as Im sugar-free, the Cheshire Capp, cappacino & sake with a cherrywood bitters and heavy cream chaser. Food was great, had the wagu big mac. Check in & out by text, elevator was nice. Played chess in the bar lounge to groovy music on the turntable. It was a packed restauraunt, but they made us feel wanted and appreciated every time. Easy walk to the ferry & shops. Highly recommended.

From beginning to end, our meal and service was very good. Prompt, efficient and friendly staff, good ingredients, happy to make accommodations. While I would have preferred a cocktail, they are waiting on their liquor license and had a wide variety of beer, wine and fun other options including sake and cocktails made with champagne or involved NA cocktails. The caesar was very good (dressing on the side) and the pizza we had was a very good sourdough crust that was perfect for folding, Neapolitan style. So good!

We had a lovely overnight stay at the St. James Social. Brand new rooms and space. The public use sauna was a wonderful perk of the stay, and we were also able to enjoy the rooftop outdoor lounge area before the thunderstorm rolled in. Rooms are small but cozy, and little touches like a turntable and vinyl records made the experience feel special. For those who aren't tech savvy, the check in process is completely remote and registration was necessary before arrival. Although it was nice to be able to have access early, I did miss not having an actual person to talk to when we arrived. I would certainly stay at the SJS again in the future.

We enjoyed our quaint room, super comfortable bed and especially the awesome shower and soap s, lotion and hair products provided! All located in the heart of Bayfield! The food was delicious and amazing! Highly recommend the St James Social for your stay in beautiful Bayfield

Exceptional accommodations! Loved the rooftop patio. The morning coffee bar/English style breakfast perfect way to start the day. The homemade pizza in the restaurant was incredible. We wished we could have experienced another meal there…next time :)

What a lovely place! We greatly enjoyed the wonderful hospitality, quaint feel and the charcuterie-like breakfast. The two that owns SJS even left a little treat for our celebration! We enjoyed the sauna both nights and the rooftop space - both wonderful. We also loved the food! Amazing flavors and the right amount of portions. We asked for a new sheets because it looked like dog hair was still on them. The owner seemed upset over the phone, but it was taken care of - so I went with 5 stars. Would 10/10 recommend!

Bayfield has held a piece of my heart since the first time I visited — it’s a place full of nature, art, and community treasures. Saint James Social is a perfect new addition to that spirit. Our retreat group had the joy of dining here, and the hospitality from the family who runs it was truly special. The pizza was incredible, the space was welcoming, and it was clear that so much care has gone into creating this experience. I’m already looking forward to coming back — next time to stay in their beautiful hotel. Grateful for this new gathering place in one of my favorite towns.

Nice restaurant centrally located in downtown Bayfield - great space with good size bar area. Small hotel located above. We went on a Tuesday (pizza night). Drink menu is beer, cider, wine and THC beverages. No hard liquors, but cocktails were pretty and inventive. Plenty of NA options. Menu was limited to salads and pizzas and unfortunately the kitchen couldn't keep up with the dining room. If the waitstaff had acknowledged the long wait time when we sat down and offered a complimentary appetizer or beverage it would have made a difference. The wait for 2 good (not great) pizzas was close to an hour. Service while friendly, was understaffed. Would try again on a "regular" menu night...

I took my girlfriend here for her birthday dinner while we were traveling, the atmosphere + service couldn't have been better, our server was a friendly person and refreshingly great at their job. We had one of the best pizzas we have ever had, specifically the fluffy sourdough crust and also filet mignon tacos, we will definitely be back whenever we are in the area.

Both pizzas we tried were very good (and were pizza snobs). The sourdough crust is . Inside is beautiful and our server was genuinely friendly. Would definitely go back!

St. James Social is one of the newest destinations on historic main street that offers incredible hospitality, ambiance and the most delicious food! Offering craft espresso bar by morning, in the evening try their house made sourdough pizzas cooked to order Neapolitan style. Weekends offer elevated dining options in addition to their pizzas with a curated selection of craft beers, ciders, wine and bubbles. They also make house made mock tails and have a vinyl record lounge. You're welcomed by their friendly staff and feel like you never want to leave. Pro tip: bring a board game or hand craft to enjoy while you mingle, eat and relax. They also have boutique hotel rooms available with a sauna and rooftop lounge for hotel guests. A new favorite in a lifelong favorite destination!
