We came to the area to ride sxs and this house was perfect. It was clean, had all the necessities, and great location. We would for sure book this same place again if we come back to the area.
We had a great time staying at this property. The owners thought of everything you need for an enjoyable stay both for the humans and our 4 legged family member. We will definitely be back!
This was the perfect place for our weekend in Hayward. Private, yet close enough to town for the wedding we had. Jordan was very responsive and helpful during our check in process. Definitely recommend.
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.
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.
This was the perfect location and size of property for our visit to the Hayward area. It was so quiet and peaceful and centrally located to everything we needed to get to. Highly recommend this location.
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.
The property was very private. Beautiful wooded area. Close to town, yet secluded. Home was nice and clean and inviting. Made several bonfires. We enjoyed our time there
Great place to stay! Very Clean, very cozy, great coffee bar area. Great area for dogs to run and relax along with us humans. Close to downtown Hayward. The owners are the best easy to reach if you need assistance or to answer questions. Hope to go back in 2024!
This place was awesome! Very private, but also close to town. Had excellent communication with the owner. He went way beyond. making our stay relaxing and enjoyably. Loved the coffee bar and the welcoming basket. Definitely recommend and would definitely go back
We stayed 5 nights while moving across country. The house was comfortable, dog-friendly, in a secluded wooded area but still easy access to town and highway. Hosts resolved a hornet nest problem quickly, and were friendly & responsive throughout our stay. A nice stay in an area that has few vrbo's with enough beds for our family.
My family and I were impressed with the property of this house. It was close enough to Hayward, but far enough away to feel like we were in the middle of a forest. We all wanted to take the house with us when we went back home. It had the perfect layout, more than enough beds, and 2 bathrooms! And we so appreciated the S'mores welcome basket, yum! We will be staying here again in the future!!

Beautiful house great kitchen great bedroom and bathroom setup. Wish the trails were a little bit clearer for walking - didn't want to get on someone else's property but I'm sure of property lines. I will definitely stay here again. Owners communicated by email and directions for the locks were clear
We stayed here with another couple for 3 nights to do some UTV trail riding. We really enjoyed the backyard firepit in the evening after riding. We found the beds to be very comfortable, and loved that there were two bathrooms, each with a shower. The kitchen had everything we need to cook our breakfasts each morning. The home was pleasantly decorated, had comfortable furniture to lounge indoors and was very clean. We appreciated that Jordan came by before we left on our last day to meet us and ask about our stay. We had a wonderful time!
This was a perfect location for the Birkie weekend, located just a few minutes outside of downtown Hayward. It is in a wooded area with beautiful nature right outside the big windows. I love the themed décor on the inside of "pet lovers" hence the "Animal Cottage". We were supposed to have more family and kids staying with us but unfortunately there were a few illness and they were not able to make it. We hope to rent this cottage in the future.

About the host
Hosted by Jordan
We are locals of the Hayward area and have always enjoyed the quiet and freedom that the area provides with its many trails for ATVs, snowmobiles, horses, skiing, or hiking. The wildlife is truly amazing, and we see a multitude of it every day, including bear, deer, turkeys, birds, hummingbirds, etc.
As dog owners, we love the ability of having plenty of space to allow them to run and play in our yard or take them on hiking trails with us. We want to provide that same opportunity to our guests which is why we are pet-friendly hosts.
Why they chose this property
The house is not located in what we would call a neighborhood. It is on a corner lot with a single "neighbor" about 750 feet away. It is a peaceful and relaxing location that provides guests the opportunity to really enjoy all that the Northwoods has to offer.
What makes this property unique
Situated on 3.5 acres with a large backyard, firepit, and grill the house provides guests with the ability to stretch their legs and minds while their children and dogs play in the yard or wooded areas.
