This is a studio size cabin with one queen bed, sofa (with pull-out queen mattress), bathroom, kitchenette with a fridge, microwave,Keurig coffeemaker & outdoor grill.



The Space:

This is a cozy, perfect little cabin right in the heart of Hayward with easy access to everything you will want to do during your stay here! We take pride in doing our best to make your stay a wonderful experience whether you're planning to use the cabin as your base camp while you explore Hayward and the surrounding areas or decide to stay in, relax, and unwind. We are constantly making improvements and upgrades to make your stay that much more enjoyable.



Easy access using a key code & key.



We love & have lots of dogs and know how important it is to bring your pooch along on your adventure. We are pet-friendly but please let us know if you plan to bring yours, as we do charge a cleaning fee ($30 for the total stay). We may have to send you a separate request for this payment. We ask that you clean up after your dog (inside the cabin & outside), and do not leave your dog unattended in the cabin unless kenneled.



We provide the essentials - bath towels, shampoo/conditioner, soap, dish soap, coffee mugs, plates, utensils. We have a Keurig coffee maker with assorted coffees, sugar and creamer for you. We also have a regular coffee maker and provide filters. We have a small fridge, microwave and sink. There is an outdoor grill however you will need to bring charcoal & lighter fluid.



This is a small cabin community with 8 cabins in total and some common/shared spaces - there are 2 community firepits that are for you to use, picnic tables, and multiple docks. You can bring and launch your canoe or kayak right here on the water.



FAQS:



Q: Can we check-in early or check-out late

A: It depends. Check in is at 3pm. Ask me and we will do our best to let you know as soon as your cabin is available. We and our cleaning staff have strict protocols to follow and can't always have the cabin ready earlier than 3pm. Feel free to use the common grounds such as the firepits, docks, and shoreline beforehand but please allow our cleaning crew the space they need to properly prepare your space.



Q: Is there WiFi and is it any good

A: Yes and yes! We upgraded our router in 2020. We've had many guests stay and work from home and students that complete their coursework from the cabin without a single complaint.



Q: Do we have cable TV

A: No, not anymore. We have smart TVs so you can log in to your favorite streaming services. Just remember to log out before you leave.



Q: Do we provide firewood for campfires

A: No, however you can purchase firewood at several local convenience stores and grocery stores for $5-6 per bundle. You may also see signs on the drive up to purchase firewood at various residences. There are strict regulations against transporting firewood from other areas so please don't do that. Often times previous guests will leave unused firewood behind so you might just get lucky and not need to purchase any at all. We also don't provide matches/lighters.



Q: Is the water safe to drink

A: Yes! We are on the city water line so it is safe to drink and cook with. There is both hot and cold water.



Q: Do I have to clean up before I check-out

A: Uh, no. That's our job! Just enjoy your stay. Leave ALL used dishes/silverware out so they can be sanitized. Don't worry about making the bed because we're replacing the linens anyway. Please just lock the door and restore the key in the key box.



Q: Why is the cleaning fee so expensive

A: Although the cabin is small, it takes a while to change the linen, restock, sanitize dishes, mop, etc. We try to pay our cleaning crew a livable wage and add in the expense of laundry and common items we supply and it adds up very quickly. We don't make or attempt to make any profit off of the cleaning expense.



Q: Are the other cabins grouped close together

A: Yes, the cabins are grouped closely. You can get a sense by looking through all the photos we have posted. Not all cabins on the premises are rented/rentable however.



Q: Is it a contactless check-in

A: Yes, it is self check-in and check-out. You will receive a code to access the cabin key in a lockbox. Please return the key when you leave. It's that simple!



Q: Can I swim in the lake Is there a beach

A: We have a shoreline with 3 docks but the water gets deep pretty quickly off the shoreline. There are a few spots where it's a little shallower. For a true sandy beach, head to Hayward City Beach which is less than one mile from the cabin.



Q: Does the cabin have good heat

A: Yes it does! We recently upgraded to mini-split heater/AC units. The heating and cooling is simply remote controlled and responds much faster than our previous heating system.



Q: Where's the flat sheet on the bed

A: Keeping with the European-style theme, the bed has a duvet. We change and clean ALL linens after every stay and take great pride in our cleanliness. We also have an extra blanket stored if you need it.



Q: Is there enough room to park a boat/trailer

A: Yes! The parking area is large enough for several vehicles. If you have a trailer, you can back in park in three different areas. We just ask that you not block anyone else in.



Q: Do we have a boat landing

A: No, not at our location however there is a public boat launch about a half mile away. You can launch your boat there and tie it down on one of our docks! It's much less than a half mile by boat from the launch to the docks.



Q: What kind of fish are in Lake Hayward

A: Musky, panfish, Bass, Northern Pike, Trout, and Walleye.



Q: Do we have boat or canoe/kayak rentals

A: No, we don't however Hayward Outfitters/Hayward Water Sports does and they are less than a half mile away, right next to the boat launch.



Q: Are there hiking trails nearby

A: There is a paved trail near the parking area for a brief, leisurely stroll. Otherwise check out the Hayward Chamber of Commerce site for hiking and other outdoor activities.



Q: Are there ATV/Snowmobile trails close by

A: Yes. Trail access is just across the street from the parking area. You can find trail maps on the Hayward Lakes site or Sawyer County Alliance site.



Q: Are there any good places to eat

A: Of course! We can't give recommendations but suggest you check out the Hayward Chamber of Commerce site for local dining options.



If you have any other questions, I'd be glad to answer them!

    The cabin was very clean and comfortable. The property is absolutely adorable and even though you are right outside of town you still feel like you are away. We were happy with everything and will definitely go back! Only wish we knew how to rent out the entire property but there are multiple owners.

    This was something different for us. A quiet little cabin nestled beautifully among the trees beside the water. Very cozy and comfortable. I had a little trouble when I arrived getting the door unlocked (turned out to be my own fault for not knowing how to operate the key box properly). I messaged Matthew and he was very prompt with help and got my situation resolved immediately and we were in. All in all a great experience and when we are in the area again we will stay here again.

    Great little cozy cabin with water front and dock right outside the door. The cabin is small, but has everything you need inside for a comfortable stay. (Microwave, toaster, dishes, coffee maker) Outside is a nice private deck and grill. There are a couple community fire pits too. Host was great with good communication close to check-in. Walking distance to downtown main street and grocery store a plus. Would definately stay again!

    Super cute, clean cabin and exactly as described. Good spot if you’re traveling with a dog—lots of nearby areas to walk and run (even in winter, with snowmobile trails close by). Cabins are close to one another which wasn’t a concern for us but something to note if you are looking for privacy. Also only about a 2-minute drive from downtown, so everything is super accessible. Communication with the host, Matt, was also great. Would absolutely stay again!

    Cabin was clean and the grounds were surprisingly nice for a spot right off the main road through Hayward. The AC was ice cold when it was 90 and humid out. The front door lock was a little finicky, not sure if it was the humidity or what. The bathroom is also very small. Wifi worked great.

    Very unhappy about cabin, we stayed in only two bath towels for the whole week or wash rags no dish towels was not cleaned very well not enough toilet paper inside shower curtain was filthy. Had to call manager about your utensils on the grill and mold on the pullout bed on the couch, which I ended up getting allergies from which I am still suffering from which I found out from the doctor. The allergies I have came from the mold in the cabin from the mattress will not stay in the cabin ever again.
