Perfect Location

Our group consisted of me, my husband and 2 of our adult kids. Location was perfect. We walked everywhere; to get a coffee in the morning, to the grocery store, to the Lumberjack show, to get ice cream and to the fishing museum. We sat around a fire on the back patio every night over looking the lake and talking. The kitchen is nice and big with lots of counterspace which made making meals easy. We would definitely stay here again!

Nice place to stay

Overall it was a nice stay ,we were out exploring things so we were not at the house alot but when we were there it was comfortable. It had everything we needed for our stay there I wish the weather would’ve been warmer so we could experience the lake a little bit more, but it was still a nice stay

Location is phenomenal.

We enjoyed being right in Hayward yet feeling like we were way out in the woods on the lake. Drinking my coffee from the recliner in the house and watching the sun rise over the lake was such an awesome experience.

Kitchen was wonderful. 2 family rooms allowed everyone to be together when they wanted and gave a space for someone to do their own thing.Bathroom needs some attention.Overall unit very clean.I am an avid gardener so the overgrown back gardens were a disappointment. They blocked the path to the back so much the leaves were get caught in the door.Kids loved the assortment of games and the kayaks were a special treat for them. Also the little guys caught a fish with almost every cast from the dock.

Everything was well stocked. The view was wonderful and we enjoyed the fire pit. Can't control the weather but we found fun things to do inside on the rainy day as well. We put together a puzzle, played games and even did a word find.

Just Loved It

The house (and location) was fantastic from the huge kitchen, fire pit patio and the chairs to the dock - couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. Thank you for providing such a nice place. I agree with other reviews...I wish I hadn't just bought a new mattress at home because I would've looked to see what the mattresses were here - they were so comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.

Beautifully secluded yet close to town

Very clean, well appointed inside, gorgeous views from the patio and bench on boat dock outside as well as master bedroom, living and family room inside. Truly, everything you could need inside and out. We visit Hayward every summer, and this was one of our most enjoyable visits despite the fact that it rained much of the week. It was so nice to have 3 bedrooms, both a living room and family room, and a spacious kitchen with everything we needed for cooking. We brought cards and games, and our kayaks but wouldn’t have needed to- there are puzzles, games and books inside, and kayaks and a paddle boat outside. Though fishing wasn’t great from the dock, the guys took our boat out and did pretty well near the channel-enough for 2 meals. We hope to return next year.
