The space
The cabin was inspired by the mono-sloped summer homes of Scandinavian archipelagos, with a heavy emphasis on bringing the feel of the outdoors inside.
Large, expansive windows highlight the views of Upper Twin Lake and surrounding wetlands. An open floor plan creates an expansive, yet cozy feel. The interior is adorned with custom local wood work that is rustic, yet refined. The furnishings (mostly Room & Board) have a modern, yet timeless look. A high-efficiency wood stove keeps the cabin cozy in the colder months. Firewood is provided. The kitchen was designed and appointed for serious cooking with a high output gas range, quality cookware/glassware, and knives that are sharpened quarterly.
Special emphasis has been given to outdoor spaces. An 800 square foot deck - half of which is covered - wraps around the front and side of the cabin. There is a fire pit, dock, outdoor dining, outdoor chill, hammock, and grilling area.
This is a very private and natural space. The lot has 300 feet of lake frontage and there is only one neighbor about 60 yards away with thick woods in between. The cabin is located in a back bay, thus providing a large buffer from main lake boat traffic. Bird watching is exceptional here. Expect to see geese, swans, sandhill cranes, eagles, loons, and a variety of ducks when the lake is not covered in ice. Deer routinely travel through the front yard, and if you're lucky, you'll see the otter family swim by.
The cabin comes with a We-noh-nah canoe, two Paddle North stand up paddleboards, and maps of where to go on the lake for swimming, fishing, and bird-watching. The cabin also comes with snowshoes for hiking on the frozen lake or area trails. The book shelf is loaded up with books and games, and there are some yard games too.
The town of Hayward is known as a world class silent sports destination. The American Birkebiener "OO" trailhead is only a 5 minute drive away. It has groomed ski, snowshoeing, and fat-biking trails in the winter, and mountain biking, trail-running and single track trails in the summer. "OO" has an EV charger too! A variety of maps and details are provided for guests to go on their own outdoor hiking, fishing, biking, and skiing adventures. Snowmobile and ATV trails are very close if thats your jam.
The cabin is an ideal place to work from home. The internet is fast and reliable. There are several suitable spaces to crack open your laptop...and then slam it shut once done and get back to what you really came here for ;)
We have have a NEMA 15-40R 220V plug-in for level 2 EV charging
Guest access
There is parking for multiple vehicles. You will need a car to get around. There is a normal outlet near the parking area. There is a proper EV charger at the "OO" trailhead 5 minutes away. Charge while you bike, hike, or ski.
Other things to note
While this house has lake access, it is not deep enough for propped boats. Only canoes, kayaks, and paddleboards can navigate from the dock through the bay to the main lake.
The driveway has some steepness to it in parts. In winter it is recommended that you have AWD or 4WD.
We have a NEMA 15-40R 220V plug near parking area for level 2 EV charging. You are responsible for chord and adapter.
The windows in the main room do not have blinds. It is prohibitive due to the amount of glass, and the house is very private. One neighbor is over 60 yards away with a strong vegetative barrier and boat traffic on the lake is too far away to peak into the house. There are blinds in the bedrooms and bathroom.
The default is no pets, no exceptions...however I will allow certain sizes and breeds of dogs, albeit with strict rules and a daily fee per pet in certain circumstances. Do not bring pets unless you have express permission from me. Security cameras at the door will catch your pet and any guests not part of your paid reservation and you will be have deductions from your security deposit ($30 per person per night over 2, 4 people max, $100 per person per night over 4, $500 fine plus any additional damages and, or, cleaning for unauthorized pet).
