Secluded/Pet-friendly home on 3+ acres, close to downtown Hayward/ATV Trails

Welcome to Animal Kottage! We are located in a secluded area in Hayward, WI on 3.5 pet-friendly acres and only 3 miles from enjoying the downtown atmosphere of this amazing city.
Enjoy your morning coffee on warm summer mornings and take in the evening sunsets while grilling on the back porch. Plenty of room in the manicured yard for outdoor games experience or just enjoying some drinks around the firepit while the kids and dogs play.
Located close to several lakes, shopping, lots of great restaurants as well as ATV and Snowmobile trails.
Watch as deer wander through the property on their way to the Namekagon river just a short walk away or as birds, bunnies, and other wildlife enjoy the quiet and remote location.

The Perfect Little House

We normally stay elsewhere when we visit Hayward, but after missing out on our usual spot we snagged this gem. Everything was PERFECT. Comfortable beds, plenty of space, and the most “homey” feel. One of our best VRBO experiences yet!

Very clean and had everything we needed to feel at home. The location was perfect, quiet, yet close to everything. We enjoyed sitting out back with the beautiful wooded surroundings. Trego is a short ride away where we rented canoes and paddled down the Namekagon River. Highly recommend Amimal Kottage!

This property was perfect for a trail riding vacation. The cottage is super clean, very well stocked and Jordan could not have been more amazing to work with. There were 4 in our group. Great space for cooking, dining, card playing and building memories. We loved having the fire pit. The candy dish and the coffee bar were great and made us feel very welcomed. We had a blast. We will definitely use this property again.

Great Stay

We loved our stay in Sawyer County. The house was in a private setting - just outside of Hayward. Very clean and comfortable. We came up to go riding our ATVs. It worked out great to ride from the house every day.

Sparkling clean, great location

We loved the privacy and quietness of the property. The yard was great for letting the dogs play and having fires or sitting on deck. Yet it was only a short, easy drive from Hayward. The house itself was very clean, well stocked and we had plenty of room. We enjoyed the complimentary coffee bar.

Comfortable place; excellent hosts

We stayed here for a bit of an extended stay this winter. We found this home to be very clean and well-equipped and just as pictured & described. Just a few minutes out of town but feels secluded. Hosts were wonderful to work with. Will be staying here again in a few months.
