Beautiful property with plenty to do at the cabin, and only 3 miles from activities in Hayward. We were pleasantly surprised to have wifi, and a third twin size bed in the loft area. The cabin was perfect for our family (2 adults and 3 kids ages 12-16). Clean, well stocked, beautiful view of the lake.

The Lazy Loon checked all the boxes for our Up North getaway and the cabin amenities were top notch! The beds were comfortable, the cleanliness exceeded my high standards and our family of 4 enjoyed everything from s’mores over the campfire, canoeing and paddle boating (provided), fishing off the dock, tubing, kneeboarding, and paddle boarding which I highly recommend giving a try as this lake is perfect for beginners (like ourselves). I’m so grateful for the memories that our boys will have from this trip! We are already looking forward to booking for next year!

I am so glad that you enjoyed your stay. My husband actually built the cabin with a little help from me. We built it new about seven years ago. It has been a lifelong dream of ours to have a place in Hayward. So glad we were able to share it with you and that you enjoyed it as much as we do hope to see you in the future.

Beautiful location and perfect cabin! We loved the paddle boat and canoes as well! Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was the proximity to the neighbors and the higher noise level.

Perfect Get Away

Once again, we had a fabulous stay at the Lazy Loon. Although the weather was a bit cool and rainy, we still managed a remarkable vacation filled with fishing, campfires, and relaxing with a view of the lake. The cabin is beautiful and our family enjoyed every minute of our time there. The perfect northwoods experience.

Fabulous Vacation

Another fabulous week of vacation spent at the Lazy Loon cabin. The cabin is pristine and the perfect setting for a quiet and relaxing getaway. The lake is not overly busy and provides excellent fishing. We had marvelous weather and spent a lot of time on the lake. Hayward is so close and has many interesting shops to experience. We're already looking forward to our next stay.

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Wanless

Host profile image
My husband and I have always dreamed of owning a cabin in northern Wisconsin. We started the journey to our dream in 2012. After viewing several properties over several months, we picked the property on Smith Lake and fell in love! We located a log home builder close to our home and began the building process. We love our cabin on Smith Lake. We have fallen in love with the Loons on the property thus the name Lazy Loon Cabin.

Why they chose this property

Smith Lake offered everything we wanted in a lake. It's quiet but large enough to boat and participate in all kinds of water sports. It has a family feel and great neighbors.
