DOG FRIENDLY
We LOVE dogs and we want our guests to enjoy their vacation with the whole family, including the furry members :-) That being said, please be mindful of whether our home is appropriate for your dog. We do charge a 125$ non refundable pet fee per stay.
We may not be the vacation rental for you if your dog:

*Chew things other than bones;
*Like to visit the neighbors unsupervised (we do not have a fenced-in yard), and/or;
*Use the house as a bathroom.

Please bring all needed dog items with you, we allow up to one 65 lbs dog. We ask that your dog be supervised when at the cabin and crated when you are not. Also, it should not need to be said (but unfortunately needs to be, as we have had guests leave enough surprises for us), but PLEASE pick up after your dogs!! It is NOT the responsibility of our cleaners. Pet damages will be invoiced to the guest if damages is above our pet fee of 125$. Guest is fully responsible for their pet while staying with us.

Dock: The property has 1 dock which can allow for up to TWO boats. There is also two kayaks on the shore that can be used free of charge. Life Vests are required, and must be worn.

That the user shall at all times follow the all boater safety laws of the State of Wisconsin in regards to said use which shall include but not limited to having a life preserver on at all times.

Swim at your own risk, no life guard on duty and no diving off dock.

Hayward

The stay was amazing! The only issue we found was navigating the boat from the dock to big lake. A lot of lilly pads and bogs but once we find a clear path it was fine. Great home and outdoor bonfire area was beautiful. One suggestion would be just to add a nightstand to the master bedroom for water and phone. Other than that we had everything we needed.

Lovely and relaxing

Such a nice stay. We bummed around Hayward on a rain day, canoed on a sun day. And just relaxed and watched the water in between. Just what we needed. The cabin was comfy and cozy. Thank you!

Getaway

Overall the property was exactly as described. The master sink was awkward, you could barely get your hands under the faucet to get water. Communication with property management was great. Access to the property was easy and the heated floors were nice! The property was very roomy with lots of natural light!

Great long weekend stay

Stayed for 3 nights for our anniversary. Really enjoyed ourselves. Even though it rained the whole weekend we still had a great time staying at the house. The heated floors were very nice! Short drive to plenty of key areas for shopping, bars, restaurants, etc. UTV trail access from the driveway so you don’t have to load/ unload each time to ride. Kind of sucked that we came up 4 days before all the trails opened but that was our own fault. Only negative was the fact that there is no AC, so the house can get a little “stuffy” but opening the windows, and letting the cool breeze in off the lake quickly took care of that. Back patio was very nice to sit and relax also. Overall we really enjoyed our stay! Location is great!
