Wedding party

Great place to plan to have your wedding party stay together. Guys can get ready on one side of the house and ladies on the opposite end of the house. We held the rehearsal dinner there. Plenty of cooking, food storage, and refrigerator space. Beautiful view overlooking the lake. Cozy and comfortable.

Amazing!

So many aspects of Ackwood Lodge were amazing and wonderful, but for a group of 18 family members from 5 to 76 years old, the feature was the most surprising was the amazingly appointed kitchen….there wasn’t a tool or a device or an appliance that was missing! So rare!

Fun at Ackwood Lodge

Our family (23 of us) ranging in age from grandparents to toddlers enjoyed this property immensely. The big dining room was great for evening meals and the kitchen was big enough to hold all our food and cook a big meal. The little kids enjoyed catching sunfish from the dock. The dock accommodated our boats just fine. We found enough to do in Hayward for the kids and took day trips to Duluth and Apostle Islands. We enjoyed sitting out on the patio at night enjoying the view of the lake. Very relaxing and quiet. We will be back in the future.

Wow! What an incredible stay!

My wife and I rented Ackwood to host our immediate families for a weekend, capped off with a marriage ceremony. The lodge was beautiful, spacious, comfortable, and exactly what we expected and hoped it would be. The property surrounding the home was well manicured and perfect for outdoor activities - we played pickleball and basketball, and also went fishing (but didn't catch anything!), as well as just enjoyed sitting on the patio, listening to the lake and the birds. Adam was incredibly supportive with all of our requests and responded with lightning speed to our questions. My wife and I couldn't have had a more perfect, intimate wedding ceremony and so much of that is because of Ackwood. We highly, highly recommend it.

A perfect winter getaway

It was a perfect property for our big family of 27. It was really cold but didn't stop the outdoor activities and a quick drive to town and lots of indoor games. The owner was super nice and easy and quick to communicate with! We had a blast!

Szymanski's Summer Vacation

We booked this property based on pictures only. The pictures don't show how beautiful it really is. We have been coming up to Hayward for the last five years and this has been the best property. You will never run out of room and fishing right in front of the property was awesome.
