SUMMER FUN - Things to do during your stay at Dream Big Bay:
Fishing: Lake Chippewa, also known as Chippewa Flowage, is home to the world record muskellunge. Anglers enjoy walleye, large and smallmouth bass, northern pike, perch, crappie, bluegill and muskellunge. The average max depth of the Chippewa Flowage is around 30' but just outside Dream Big Bay is Moonshine Lake that is 90' deep. We recommend checking out Chippewa Flowage (dot com) under the Fishing Report section for up-to-date fishing report.
Boating/Tubing/Skiing: Come summer and late fall, on the water is where you'll want to be for all day water fun! The Chippewa Flowage, is 15,300-acres with about 200 undeveloped islands. One of our favorite things to do is boat out and find the "perfect" sandy beach island and set up camp for the day. While some enjoy beach fun, others are out tubing and skiing for hours!
Nearby Resorts, Restaurants: By boat OR by land, there are several resorts and restaurants nearby. R&R Bayview is our favorite breakfast spot. Treeland Resort is one of our kids favorites to boat over for pizza and ice cream. And before you head out for a late day or evening cruise, stop over The Landing for their bountiful bloody mary (or beverage of choice).
Explore Hayward: Hayward Wisconsin is a scenic 25-minute drive from Dream Big Bay. Hayward is home to the American Birkebeiner Trail, Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame (home of the world-record muskellunge - 69-pound, 11-ounce), Lumberjack Show, Wilderness Walk Zoo and Hayward is dubbed the Golf Capital of Wisconsin with nine courses.

The property is really nice and well maintained. The availability of firewood for purchase was great since we didn't have room to pack any. Sarah was very quick to respond with any questions I had. I will definitely keep this property in mind for future trips. We didn't catch any fish, but it may just have been a tough time of year.
The highlite of the trip for us was watching the grandkids on the rope swing and the lily pad.
This waterfront cabin is located on a beautiful little bay of the Chippewa Flowage. Words can’t describe the sense of peace and quiet we felt upon our arrival. The cabin space was clean, spacious and easily accommodated our family of five adults, three teens and two kids. The hosts were very responsive and helped with any questions we had about the cabin and the area. We enjoyed the campfire, kayaks, canoe and rowboat and had also secured a pontoon from a local marina for the week. We have been joining each other for “cabin week” for ten years, and this year was one of the best! At the end of the week, we all agreed that we’ll be back!
We had a great time. Cabin was clean and grounds great.Swimming was very nice. Plenty of room for 5 adults and 5 children.
Dream Big Bay was perfect for our family of ten including kids, parents and grandparents. The home is very comfortable and there was plenty of room to spread out. The beach was sandy and shallow enough for the baby to play and the bigger kids had fun jumping off the dock. The Lilly Pad and kayaks were also a big hit. Wonderful memories were made at Dream Big Bay!
This home is spotless, comfortable and has so many great amenities. Our host Sarah has not missed any details when planning for the comfort of guests. And the fishing was fantastic! We were close to restaurants and the market if we needed anything. All in all it was a great place to stay!
House was great, plenty of space. Nice place to get away!
Wonderful property. Great location and responsive host.
This property was well laid out to accommodate our family needs. Beautiful place!
We searched for a VRBO family get a way for the MEA long weekend. Beautiful, quiet location but was a 20 - 25 min. drive to Hayward. The lake home was perfect for our family of 6 adults & 3 children from the ages of 3-6. Very clean and very well equipped. We appreciated all that was included. We used the gas grill and the row boat & kayaks. The kids loved the beach area and checking out the little island.The weather was unbelievably warm for October, 60’s. The stars were amazing sitting by the campfire! We just may have to make this a yearly family fall get a way! Yvonne & Mike
This property was all around amazing. We stayed with the fall colors just coming in and the views were beautiful! Cabin was immaculate and accommodated all eight of us easily. Thank you for the memories and for the hospitality
Our kids and grandkids were all together in this BEAUTIFUL place with a breathtaking view. There were 12 people and plenty of room for all. Cloudy and sprinkling never stopped the kids from enjoying the kayaks, canoe, rowboat, or water. They tubed, swam, and fished. We had a wonderful time, and everyone said they wanted to do this again. This is a perfect for a family to enjoy.
Great gathering place for our multiple family reunion! The cabin had all amenities needed to be comfortable. Plenty of space indoors and out to visit and enjoy the beautiful water front. Perfect place if you are looking to be right on the water in a secluded, quiet setting. (bit of a hike to town) but worth it!)
We were pleasantly surprised at how amazingly remodeled the cabin was. It was beyond our expectations. We did run into some issues with the AC but it was being fixed while we were there. The hosts were very accommodating. We rented a pontoon from a resort across the lake. Highly recommend doing that. Gives you the opportunity to see more of the lake. Definitely enjoyed our family time and would go back!
This place was beyond perfect! The house was clean and completely remodeled. The beds were comfortable and there was enough space for an army. We enjoyed the sandy beach, fire pit, and quiet location. The layout was perfect and there wasn’t a lot of things young children could break which made it more relaxing for the adults. The view from the kitchen and main living space was breathtaking. It was easy to launch and dock our boat and the beach was perfect for littles. I would recommend this rental to anyone. The property owners were very responsive and easy to work with. We look forward to our next stay. Thank you.
Overall, this was a wonderful property for my friends and I for the weekend. The lake was lovely to spend time on, the cabin was new, clean and beautiful! It is a bit of a drive from Hayward proper, which allows for seclusion from the busier parts of the area.
Our stay at this water front cabin was beyond our expectations. The cabin is beautifully updated and clean with plenty of living space for a large family. The owners have gone above and beyond making this cabin user friendly and comfortable. One of our favorite things was gathering in the living room for morning coffee and enjoying the view! Dinners on the deck and fires at night were very relaxing. Many fish were caught off the docks as well. The cabin is close to The Landing which is where we rented a boat and enjoyed the water and all the restaurants/bars. There is so much to do in this area but also no need to leave the cabin because it has everything. If I could give this cabin more stars I would. Wonderful place to stay!
We greatly enjoyed this property. The communication was really good with the property manager. The place fit our needs perfectly. Our only complaint would be that the air conditioning couldn't keep up to keep the place cool. It ran almost constantly.
