Our lake home is located on a serene, clear, quiet lake ten miles east of Hayward, WI. The place is perfect for a "get away" to enjoy the many winter recreational activities, enjoy the beauty of the fall season, and/or summer fun at the lake.
Lovejoy Lake is a small lake with no public access, thus it is very quiet and peaceful. During the summer the lake is great for swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing, floating from your private dock or simply enjoy the view of the lake from the screened in porch. . Paddle boards, a paddle boat, a kayak, and a fishing boat are available for your use.,
You may also want to enjoy the solitude and beauty of Northern Comfort in the fall -- fishing continues to be great, the ambiance is awesome and plenty of local trails are available for walking and/or biking while enjoying the beauty of the autumn colors. Winter is a special time too -- a time to try some ice fishing and/or hit the trails for snow shoeing or skiing, and/or just snuggle up with a book and enjoy the serenity of Northern Comfort.
We are less then 10 miles from Hayward which is an awesome town for family fun. The area is great for all types of spring, summer, fall and winter recreational activities. Our road recently opened for ATV and UTV travel. There are numerous trails that can now be utilized without a need to trailer your recreational vehicle
We purchased this lake home for family visits and short term rental purposes. Our current home is next door. We fell in love with the lake and all that the Hayward area has to offer so when this place was available to purchase we wanted to share the joy and relaxation we enjoy at Lovejoy with others.
The upper level of this home consists of two bedrooms, a master bath and a main bathroom. A nice size open space includes a family room, dining area, and a kitchen supplied with all the necessary cookware and utensils needed to make a great meal. A plus is that we have chickens and if our chickens are laying we love to share eggs! Also on the upper level is a spacious screened porch that looks out onto Lovejoy Lake.
The lower level consists of a bedroom, another room that was at one time used as a workroom but now has a single size bed in it, laundry facilities, a bathroom and another family room. When we purchased this home there were many shelves in the lower level family room so being an avid reader, rather then donating the books I had purchased and read, they are now becoming a small library for your reading pleasure. Also being shelved are many DVD's for rainy day entertainment!
Hayward is a great city for family activities. There are also many great golf courses and dining options. We are only a few miles from the Birkie Trails and the Chequamegon National Forest.

What a great place. Love the extra touch such as the fresh cookies (loved them), the fresh eggs , etc.I also appreciated the shampoo, etc in each bathroom. The view of the lake was fantastic and if it was warmer we would have spend hours on the screened in porch. Mary and Mike were great hosts. I would highly recommend staying at their VRBO!
Four of us stayed here in September for an annual golf weekend. The rooms were great and we enjoyed our time at the cabin. Plenty of space, well stocked kitchen and just an overall great location. We appreciated the fresh cookies and eggs! Will stay here again for next year if it is available.
Very nice property, great screened in porch to sit and relax and eat, owners were exceptionally accommodating and super nice. It was nice to have a small boat and motor to fish in the lake there too!
Loved the cookies, fresh eggs and the huge screened in porch!! I loved hearing the chickens when I was making my cup of coffee in the morningThe lake was so calm and beautiful we probably would’ve spent more time down there in the summer months
A terrific week! We were enticed by the screen porch with beautiful lake view in the listing and it did not disappoint - fantastic! Appreciated the friendly welcome including home baked cookies and fresh eggs in the fridge. Lovely hosts, terrific property.
Mary & Mike were wonderful hosts! Great communication, fresh cookies & eggs, very thoughtful with the little ones in our group. Highly recommend! We appreciate the rental of their home which was perfect for our needs. Thank you!
The house has an excellent vantage overlooking Lovejoy lake. The lake is clear and has a moderately sandy bottom. The hosts who live next door, Mary and Mike are very welcoming and can help with things that you may need. We wish that we could have stayed longer.
We stayed at this lovely home for a few days of friendship and leaf peeking. The place was very comfortable. We enjoyed the screened in porch. The owners were welcoming, leaving fresh baked cookies and a bowl of eggs from their hens for us.
The cabin/house and property are beautiful. 😊
Wonderful personal touches like fresh eggs in the fridge and homemade cookies on the counter to greet us and begin our stay.
Looking forward to book again.
Was a great vacation. Checked off all our check boxes. Fishing was great. Weather was good. Cabin was very nice and spacious. Our hosts were very helpful. Looking forward to coming back. Would be great if a electric pontoon was added. See you soon.
We enjoyed our stay here, the owners were very welcoming and accommodating. The cabin was clean and comfortable for all 5 of us. There were beautiful sunsets on the quiet lake with calls from the loons. We were close to Hayward to go to Musky Fest with many restaurants to chose from. We also enjoyed the campfire at night where we never ran out of wood. Great stay!! Thank you for your hospitality!
Mike and Mary greeted us as soon as we arrived. House was just as it was listed. Lots of options to keep everyone busy. We spent the weekend fishing, paddle boarding, kayaking, and just enjoying the gorgeous lake. The day it rained we enjoyed the games, puzzles and books in the basement. Was a wonderful weekend!

About the host
Hosted by Mary Roles and Mike Fleischhacker
My husband Mike and I are retired educators. We both taught and were administrators in the twin cities area. Ten years ago, shortly after our first granddaughter was born, we searched and found our perfect lake home. Every weekend and days off work that we could get away, we would spend here! After we both retired, we held on to our home in the White Bear Lake, Mn area for a short time then in 2015 we sold that house and became full time residents of Hayward, Wi. In November of 2016 we were able to purchase the lake home next to ours -- thus the creation of Northern Comfort and our ability to share with others the serenity, beauty and ambiance of Lovejoy Lake and the surrounding area!
Why they chose this property
We chose to purchase on Lovejoy Lake because it is small, has not public access, the water is clear, and the fishing is great. We especially enjoy the quietness of this area because of no public access; therefore it is only lake residents and renters that are on the lake. A gentlemen's agreement among owners includes a "no wake" policy which makes all the lake activities more enjoyable. During the winter, if possible, some of us create a ski trail around the lake.
What makes this property unique
A special benefit of Northern Comfort is the screened in porch that overlooks Lovejoy Lake! Our guests have enjoyed many hours reading, playing cards, eating, listening to the loons, enjoying the antics of our free range chickens and/or simply enjoying the beauty and serenity of the setting.
