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.

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.

Awesome Place!

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

Up North Getaway

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. The remodel job on this property was impressive. The weather was cool and rainy, but we enjoyed just relaxing in this cozy cabin. The owners made sure we had everything we needed during our stay. I highly recommend this place to anyone that wants to visit Hayward.

Family Vaca

My parents and my family got together for an extended weekend in this cabin. Its location is excellent, secluded yet very close to everything. The bugs and weather did not cooperate so we were stuck inside much of the trip. Additional living room seating would have helped but we were hoping to be outside more of the time. Overall, a very nice place.

Birkie Trail Cabin

The cabin was quaint. It was very clean. Nice location. Steve answered all my questions promptly. I feel the kitchen could use better quality cooking utensils. Also, have some board games, decks of cards for your quest to use. Luckily we brought our own. We all agreed the beds are very uncomfortable. I get placing a rubber mattress pad on the mattresses, but you hear it with every move. We all didn't sleep well mostly because of the mattresses.

Great location to go ATVing but with three couples and only one bedroom downstairs and no bathroom upstairs caused a big issue. No air in two of the bedrooms upstairs either.
