Backyard Trails and Lake Hayward with Canoe!

New for 2021! Stay in one of the oldest homes in Sawyer County with private Lake Hayward frontage in your front yard and the Birkie trail, ATV and snowmobile trails in the backyard! You can hike, bike, ski, or ride the trails directly from the front (road) or back yard (trails). Plenty of parking. Cabin was completely renovated top to bottom in spring/summer of 2021. Enjoy serenity and northwoods feel but also close proximity to Hayward. (2 miles to main street) Canoe & life vests provided.

Cabin features original tongue and groove ceilings from 1898, but also has modern appliances in a full kitchen, wifi and a smart TV.

Three bedrooms are upstairs and the largest one boasts an outdoor porch. Downstairs you will find 2 bathrooms, the kitchen, another bedroom, the laundry room, and a living room with an electric fireplace and a large dining table for eating or games.

Very large yard and 3 acres you have all to yourself. Two docks and canoe for your use. Our lake frontage is not suitable for swimming but you can take the canoe out or just enjoy the lake views and songs of the red-winged blackbirds. Swimming is good at the Lake Hayward Beach, 1.5 miles away. Under 4 miles to Big Fish golf course and Hayward golf club.

We thoroughly enjoyed our two-night stay here. The cabin was exactly as the pictures/description indicated, and check-in/check-out was extremely easy with the key pad. The large home worked really well for the four of us; it was spacious, comfortable, quiet, and clean. Everything we needed during our stay was provided, including a very extensive welcome guide. We highly recommend staying here!

Home away from home

Our stay was the best. The house is very clean and nicely organized. Beds are comfortable and lots of room. The paths to the Birkie are a plus and the paths to the piers by the water were two of our daughters favorite spots. We definitely will stay again.

A group of us stayed for the Epic Bike Fest. The location as perfect as we were able to just ride to the start line. We loved this location in general, as it was out of town, but so close to downtown Hayward. Very cute and rustic feeling cabin. Well equipped with all the things as advertised. Amazing back yard and the bedrooms were spacious.

All phases of check in, daily maintenance, and checking out went perfectly. Property was as described and exceeded expectations: roominess, cleanliness, location, and much outside space for activities including a Mimi family reunion. Only small disappointment was no lake access so it was impossible to use the cabin’s canoe. This cabin is perfect for a large family or group of friends. It is an excellent value.
