Meadow Rue Retreat @ Brickyard Creek

Welcome to Meadow Rue. Tucked within the stillness of Wisconsin’s northern boreal forest, this beautiful cabin takes its name from the delicate wildflower that grows in the shaded understory- Thalictrum, or Meadow Rue. Here, time slows. The wind moves gently through the white pines, and dusk settles like a whispered memory. Whether you come to rest, reflect, or listen to the rhythm of the woods, Meadow Rue offers a quiet return to what is essential: peace, nature, and presence.

The cabin boasts three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a fully stocked kitchen, a living room with a wood-burning fireplace, and a spacious screened-in porch. All toiletries, linens, and bath towels are included. Please bring your own beach towels. Sleeps 6 adults comfortably.
Guests must abide by Brickyard Creek Rental Policies & NO Pet Policy.

WELCOME GUESTS!

The Brickyard Creek Cottages (BYC) is an environmental ​community of private residences​ with a small percentage of privately owned rental cottages. Individual owners and families come to enjoy the natural setting and quiet privacy of their cabin in the woods. ​BYC’s community rental policies below:​

COTTAGE PRIVACY:​ ​Join us in enjoying the natural setting: forest trails, creek, and over 70 acres of Bayfield Boreal Forest. Honor the privacy of residents and other guests—o​nly use designated nature trails or roads to explore the area. The areas along the lake are privately owned and are not part of the BYC community land. Please respect our neighbors!

QUIET ESCAPE IN THE WOODS:​
S​ounds carry through the woods. Keep Brickyard Creek a `tranquil nature escape` for everyone by refraining from loud music and excessive porch noise. Community​ quiet hours ​are enforced daily between 1​0pm and 8am.​

HEALTH DEPARTMENT LIMITS:​
E​ach cottage is approved by the Bayfield County Health Department to accommodate a maximum number of guests deemed appropriate to the cottage style.​ All guests must be registered. Adding guests after registration is strictly prohibited. The local health code is regulated and monitored.

COMMUNITY BEACH:​
Enjoy the community`s private beach and covered picnic area as you look out at the Apostle Islands. Be safe; absolutely no climbing on the rock wall. The jagged boulders are unstable and shifting daily. The marina land, docks, furniture, and clubhouse adjacent to the community beach are for paid m​arina members only​. There is ​no public bathroom​ available at the lakefront​. The parking spaces at Roy`s Point Marina are for boaters renting the marina slips ​only​. Please walk, using either the trail or road system, when visiting the beach.

CAMPFIRES:​
Enjoy the community fire pit located near the beach by the gazebo. There is usually firewood available​. DO NOT pick up wood on the common grounds, private lots, or along the trails. Be alert to wind and weather conditions. Fast-moving embers easily burn holes in sails of boats at the marina or start forest fires. Please be careful not to build roaring fires.

GARBAGE & RECYCLING:​
O​ur community recycles c​ans, cardboard, plastic, and glass​— we hope you will too! G​arbage and recycling dumpsters are located just past the intersection of Roy`s Point Boulevard and Brickyard Creek Road​. Please `free your recyclables` by placing them directly in the dedicated dumpster or use a paper bag. We are charged an added fee for every plastic bag found in our recycling dumpster. Thank you for your efforts. ​Every little bit counts!

CHILDREN & FAMILIES:​ ​
The love of the environment starts in childhood. Kids are always welcome!​ Please ​provide adult supervision to ensure their safety​ and the solitude of the other guests and residents.

TWENTY IS PLENTY:​ ​
The roads in Brickyard Creek are considered part of the trail system. For the safety of all pedestrians, ​drive 20 mph or less​. Particularly watch for children whose enthusiasm may cause them to outpace their adult supervisors.

NATIVE TREES & FLORA:​
Brickyard cottages are `of the land, not on the land.` During construction, very few trees and natural plants were disturbed. We ask you to be cautious of marked `nature rehabilitation` areas​, and please don`t pick wildflowers.
