Lake Front Cabin on Poskin
Our stay was wonderful! It was a men’s weekend for fishing, grilling and time with God. Home was clean, filled with amenities we needed, close to the water and provided a peaceful place for the weekend! Definitely would recommend to others! Monea was always responsive and made sure we felt comfortable during our stay! 5 stars, hands down!

Round Lake Getaway!
We loved this peaceful cabin on the lake. It had a beautiful view and was very quiet. The kitchen had every utensil needed to cook which was awesome. The cabin was very clean and the sleeping accommodations were great! We would definitely recommend this place to others and stay here again!

Lake Side*May openings! Family friendly*Bunk beds
We loved staying here ! Beautiful area! Drove to the boat landing not far away to enjoy a day of ice fishing!

Lower Dreamers on Long Lake-Unit-2-Bedroom
Cherri is very responsive which was much appreciated. The place was a little hard to find at no fault of the owners, but once we did we were set for the week. We had a boat lift to use which was a value add for us. There are several stairs down to the lake but the view at the top is gorgeous. Great restaurants to boat and the sand bar is not far to boat the grandkids out to enjoy the lake. Our dog was right at home too. Thank you Cherri and Paul for your place for the week, we had a very nice time.

Piece of Paradise/Hot Tub/ATV trail/Kayaks
Awesome host! Was only there for a quick visit with coworkers but this would be a PERFECT retreat for an outdoorsy family. Will book again!

Cozy Northwoods Getaway
We had a wonderful stay! The house was very clean and the bed was comfy! Loved the coffee selection in the mornings. Over all our stay was a 10 out of 10!!

Backwoods Lodge🏕 2 cabins & pontoon included!
Our large three-generation family group had plenty of room to comfortably spread out between the somwhat dated but clean, homey cabins. What worked out great for us was that the three families with children ages 1-12 and earlier wake up times were able to use the larger space while the smaller cabin accomodated the couples without children and allowed a bit of liesurely vacation sleep-in time. We prepared and ate our communal meals in the larger kitchen and spread beyond the big table to plentiful seating on the large deck. The view from the deck was lovely and the walk to the lake and dock easy going for all ages. We swam every day either from the sandy, pebbly entry to the water or from jumping off the dock and swimming out to the swim pad. The water was clean and relatively free of weeds close in to the dock area. The lake was peaceful and we made plenty of use of the pontoon, canoe and sit-on kayak, caught fish, and never felt crowded. Katelyn was super to work with.

Dual Lakefront Cabins! Spa+Firepits+BBQs & Boats
Love coming here in winter to get away around the holidays. We always make one big family meal and the wide kitchen is perfect for many cooks in it! Great, dog-friendly bar nearby to play pool as well.

Cabin 2 - Northwoods themed 1 BR, lakefront cabin.
My wife and I stayed at Cabin #2 for our anniversary, and we couldn’t have been more pleased! The cabin was perfect in every way, the location was more beautiful than I expected, and Scott went above and beyond in his accommodations and communications. We would definitely go back, and we are very grateful!

Cozy Cabins, Lake Views & Miles of Hiking Trails!
I do not give five stars often. to me five stars means perfect, and this was perfect for my wife and I. We have country dogs that need space, we like it quiet, and this gave us that. The trails, the wildlife, and the lake all give the feel that you are at your own private resort. The cabin was Goldy Locks might say, "just right."

Lilypad Lake House - On Nelson Lake / Trail Acc
We had an amazing stay at this property! It was exactly as described. The location was beautiful and communication from the host was great. We are already planning our next trip here, hoping to return this summer! Thank you for your hospitality!

Huber Cottage - Lakefront Cabin w/Dock and Beach
This cottage is so cute and comfortable. The location on the lake was perfect and it had everything the two of us could have wanted. Dan was quick to reply to every question we had. He and Kristen anticipated any traveler's needs and exceeded them. Thank you so much for sharing your lovely cottage with us!

Black Dog Woodland Suite
This is a lovely spot for a weekend getaway. It's a great space for two people, very clean and comfortable. The location is seculded and peaceful but it's within a reasonable drive to things like shops and local amenities/attractions.

Birchwood Blue Cabin- Come to the Wild Blue
This is our 4th time at the Blue Cabin and it is as wonderful each time we visit. Place is beautiful and feels like you are home away from home. Very comfortable. David and Laurie are outstanding hosts. So accommodating and making you so welcomed. Will be back many times to come.

Nice Lake Escape Hot Tub Pontoon
Beautiful cabin! I have a big family and we all fit well with all the bed accommodations and there was a huge dining table for everyone to sit around and eat or play games. There was a lot to do! They provided so many activities and we were not bored for a second. Would definitely stay again.

Family Fun and Fairways on the Lake
The house was super clean, exactly as described. Peaceful, quiet area. The beach areas were very nice and we had them to ourselves basically. The golf course was great and the PAR3 course was great for the kids to try. Caught tons of fish straight from the shore, the club house is walkable, overall it was great, would highly recommend.

Luxe Lakeshore Cottage! *Great Views & Reviews*
Comfortable, clean cabin in a quiet wooded area and the view is stunning! We are repeat guests and will return. Tina is at hand if you need her and is an excellent hostess.

Cottage on 5 acres in the woods on the ATV trail.
This was our second time staying at Andy’s place, and our experience has been great both times. Andy keeps a very clean and beautiful place to stay that makes you feel right at home in the Northwoods.

Cozy 3Bd2Bth Cabin at the Lake: Pines That Whisper
Enjoyed the welcoming by hosts, coziness, peaceful and private location near Half Moon lake. Beautiful sunsets, night sky, and nearby hiking trails we explored. Provides necessary amenities for a very enjoyable stay! Look forward to booking again.

Cozy lil' Cottage
Beautiful property and cabin. I loved how the host posted helpful friendly notes and labels in various spots to make staying there and finding things easy. Kitchen, bathroom, bedroom all well stocked. I loved all the windows and beauty of the pines seen through them. Easy walk down to the river. Very clean and roomy.

Pine Harbor #3 on the lake
Thank you again for another beautiful stay Bethany. The weather was warm enough this time where we got to enjoy smores on the campfire and sat on the dock to watch the beautiful northern lights play across the sky. We hope to come visit again in the not too distant future. Be well and thank you for everything, Karen

Charming two-bedroom cottage on Cable Lake.
This was our 2nd stay, it was as good as the first. Clean house, comfortable, has everything you need. Suzanne and John are also very responsive to messages.

Guest House at the Lake
wonderful stay in a beautiful setting. we were so lucky to catch the fall colors at just the right time. Every window had a view of something special. Debbie's place was beautifully decorated and very well equipped. we loved having the fireplace for colder evenings. Our host was very friendly and quick to respond. This was a place to relax and enjoy the scenery. Close to Superior for anything you might need with several close beaches on Lake Superior.

Your guide to Hayward
Welcome to Hayward
If you prefer your recreation outdoors, Hayward is an all-terrain, all-season playground, a hub for (honest-to-goodness) lumberjacks, fishers, mountain bikers, and snow-sports enthusiasts alike. Maps of this corner of Northeastern Wisconsin look like a green doily spread over a blue pond — the land is so riddled with lakes that it’s a wonder highways can traverse the region — and the town’s most notable landmark is a giant, toothy statue of a muskie outside the National Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame. Visitors who aren’t paddling or water-skiing may be teeing up on one of the area’s eight golf courses or hiking deep in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest. The city of Hayward itself is equal parts rustic and welcoming, with plentiful restaurants (don’t miss Friday night fish fry!) and shops. Wintertime visitors spend their days whizzing through the woods on snowmobiles and skis, returning to town only to warm up.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Hayward
There is never a bad time to visit Hayward, a four-season destination for outdoor activities. That said, the weather in northeastern Wisconsin is never demure: After a too-short spring in May, the temperatures can hit the 80s from June through early September, and all those lakes contribute to the mugginess of the air. Summer is peak season for hikers, fly fishers, and golfers. In July, the Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwe Tribe, whose lands are just outside town, hold their Honor the Earth Pow Wow, drawing people from all over the Upper Midwest. The lakes grow slightly quieter in the fall, though off-road bikers descend on Hayward in September for the Chequamegon MTB Festival. From October through April, temperatures drop below — sometimes far below — the freezing point, and the thick layer of snow turns Hayward into a playground for snowmobile riders and cross-country skiers.
Top things to do in Hayward
Fishing
The 56,000 acres of water in the Hayward Lakes Area are legendary among Wisconsin’s anglers, who hop from lake to lake in search of walleye, bluegill, and some of the largest muskies the Midwest produces. Chippewa Flowage is the area’s largest lake, and Lac Courte Oreilles and Round Lakes two of the clearest. Outfitters in town will supply whatever you need for a day of fishing, and you can find guide services and boat rentals if you don’t tow your own. Taking a break on land? Stop by the National Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame for education programs, displays of lures and record-sized catches, and perhaps a Bigfoot sighting.
Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest
Drive east on Highway 77 from Hayward for about 40 miles and you enter the 858,400-acre Chequamegon National Forest. Hundreds of miles of trails for hikers and mountain bikers bring you through leafy stands of maple and oak, wide swaths of white pine, and deep ravines, and there are dozens of campgrounds to stake a tent in. If you connect with the North Country Scenic Trail, you may encounter weathered backpackers making their way along this eight-state route. In winter, dedicated bikers swap out their summer rides for fat-tire bikes, sharing the groomed trails with snowshoers.
Lumberjack Sports
Hayward is home to the Lumberjack World Championships every July, when burly woodspeople compete in speed-climbing, chopping, sawing, and the ever-popular log-rolling competitions. From May through September, the arena hosts a popular lumberjack show five days a week, with a family-friendly mix of comedy skits and feats of skill. Even if you can’t swing an ax yourself, you can putt-putt on a lumberjack mini golf course and load up on woodsy souvenirs.
