About this property

Lake Hayward Log Cabin-Close to Everything

Welcome to the Lumberjack Village log cabins!! We have 2 cabins side by side which is perfect for family and friend getaway to our northwoods. Please check out VRBO 828159 about how to book both this cabin as well as the other one for larger groups who want to be next to each other. This is a family type atmosphere so we have to insist on NO PARTYING or loud music. This 1200 square foot timber frame cabin has all wood-knotty pine interiors with wood floors throughout. Bedrooms have custom made log beds with new mattresses. Kitchen appliances are brand new Kenmore brand. You will have your own private dock, fire pit and firewood and canoe!

Located on Lake Hayward, this charming four season log cabin is one of two rental cabins that are part of the Lumberjack Village. Lumberjack Village is a perfect retreat for the Hayward area visitor who wants to be on a lake but not too far from the fun and action of Hayward itself. An easy walk to restaurants, shops and the Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame, cabin rental includes 4 tickets to Scheer’s Lumberjack Shows and 4 passes to the Lumberjack Village Mini-Golf both located on the site. The cabin’s private docks on Lake Hayward provide a perfect spot to fish, read or just relax and enjoy the evening solitude. Picnic area, complete with gas grill and fire pit with free firewood is reserved for cabin guests. Cabin guests have exclusive use of the canoe for exploring Lake Hayward.

Linens and towels are provided for your use, along with a fully equipped kitchen. The upstairs level of the cabin has two bedrooms, one with a queen size bed, one with two twins, and a full bath with tub/shower combination. Main floor has a half bath. The open living space on the main floor includes a full kitchen with dishwasher, microwave, refrigerator and range. A freestanding gas fireplace creates a cozy atmosphere on chilly fall evenings. Large deck off the main floor faces the lake; a perfect respite for morning coffee or evening “Happy hour.'

Hayward, with its World Class events, wireless internet cafes, shopping, groceries, golfing, boat and bike rentals, bakery, wine cellars, art galleries, live theaters and hiking trails has been a favorite of Wisconsin vacationers for generations.

Lake Hayward is a beautiful 250 acre lake and has a lot to offer. Canoeing, fishing and water skiing are all popular pastimes. No boat...No Problem. Enjoy a daytime or evening adventure in the canoe we provide or rent a boat or pontoon or ski jet from M & M rental which is located 1 block from the Lumberjack Village.

A quick fishing excursion or a leisurely float are always a minute away. Grab an ice cream cone at The Namekagon Cone...just a 1 minute walk away. Evening camp fires are enjoyed in your private fire pit area with unlimited fire wood. Not in the mood to cook - The River Deck Restaurant is also located in the Lumberjack Villager where you can dine lakeside or in the cozy cabin interior. The food is spectacular! Or relax lakeside at the outdoor bar and enjoy beer, wine or a cocktail.

Your kids will not be bored at Lumberjack Village!! While you are on the dock reading the kids can walk to the ice cream shop...the mini golf course. Downtown Hayward is a easy 15 minute walk...the Hayward Cinema 4 is a 10 minute walk!

Also on site is Mainstream Boutique which is a spectacular women's clothing and accessory boutique!

Please NOTE that although we are pet friendly and do allow dogs - they must be pre-approved. We need to know the type and weight.. We allow only 1 dog - it is a rare exception that we would allow 2 so please inquire before you assume. Thank you.

A nice surprise

My husband and his buddy went to Hayward area for few day “marathon”musky fishing and I booked a cabin for them to stay in. They loved this cabin and were really surprised by its size and sad they didn’t have a chance to use the pier and fish the lake it was right on it. They would ho back in a heart beat.

Nice accommodations

The cabin is spacious with nice amenities. The downstairs was cool, and the upstairs was warm. The only downside to me is being right in lumberjack village, people visiting the lumberjack show had to walk across our front porch to enter and exit the show

Mini Getaway

We were very happy with our stay and both of our girls (11 & 13) are already talking about going back next year. There is an ice cream shop and mini golf within walking distance. We would recommend it to friends and family & would also stay again if we decide to go to Hayward in the future.

Perfect family getaway!

It was perfect for our first family vacation! Had great privacy but still close to everything. The kids had a blast at mini golf and the Lumberjack show! Husband loved the fishing and bait shops, I loved the stores and restaurants.

The good and the bad

The cabin is as described. It is the perfect amount of space for 3-4 people. To update comments from past reviews-- kitchen supplies are fine. We had all meals at the cabin as eating out is hard with dietary restrictions. More than enough pots/pans, utensils, etc and all in decent condition. The lake isn't favorable for swimming at the cabin which we knew, and the dock is crooked, but I never felt unsafe as it is very stable. Parking was a problem when a lumberjack show was going on. I messaged Rhonda and got a prompt reply that the parking spot at the cabin would be left open for us. At first glance the cabin is clean, but we found nicotine lozenges under a bed and boxers in a drawer. I let Rhonda know and again received a quick response, but it worries me that my dog could have found the lozenges, or what if I had a young child that found them? I am sure they will ensure this won't be a problem for future guests, as it seems like problems of past renters have been remedied.

It was a great cabin!

We did have a great time. Enjoyed the cabin & the back very much. We were just caught off guard by the closeness of the property to the city streets & public walking and lack of privacy during the shows. But all in all we did enjoy ourselves. The owner/manager was great!

Relaxing and quiet

There is not a lot to do in this town but the cabins were cute and quiet. It was a nice stay but bring your own pots and pans. The ones there were rusted and peeling. The doors being wood were difficult to close at times. We went into the Mainstream Boutique and the lady that we encountered there was absolutely lovely. Everyone we came into contact with on the property was friendly and pleasant. Communication with the owners was prompt and questions were answered quickly. The cabins could use a little TLC but just because it’s older. All in all a good stay!

Didn't have enough time to full enjoy this great cabin. Plenty of space for all your stuff. Parking right out front for easy load in and out. Nice dock right out your back door. Walking distance to town if needed. Would stay here again.

Great location and activities!

We enjoyed our stay very much! Was a perfect location for us all.... fishing, mini golf, lumber jack show, close to shopping. The cabin was the right size for our family. The bed was a bit uncomfortable, but it was manageable. Surprised there was not even salt + pepper, just like description, only coffee filters. Communication was clear and got back to us within a reasonable time frame. We would definitely stay again! Thank you!!

Best vacation in a long time.

We totally enjoyed our cabin and lake setting. Beautiful roomy cabin yet it felt cozy with all the pine wood walls & floors. Quiet and restful. No noisy neighbors. I'm sure we'll return! Nice deck, but really needs railings for safety reasons.

Not remote

I booked this beautiful VRBO with hopes for a relaxing remote get away with my family. To be fair the listing does state that there is another cabin next to you but in reality it was surrounded by buildings with offices and another cabin. It is literally steps away from the lumber jack show and people will walk through your "private" yard to get to the show. The workers actually had several people park up to the rope that marks the property and people walk over the rope and through the yard. The front is a walkway in which people walk along and since there are buildings located in the buildings they are able to see into your cabin. I had a couple questions about the rental along the way and the owners sounded curt and irritated referring to previous emails . To be fair, I got several emails about my upcoming stay and although I had read the email another email titled "they keys" to your stay had a code and the door also was a key pad. My children actually snickered as I was reminded of "per my previous email" response since they were on speaker phone. The cabin itself was clean and beautiful. All the basics we needed were available. It was not a horrible experience but not the relaxing get away I had worked so hard for and although they elude to it having neighbors, you really do not have privacy.

Small, busy traffic area, cabins need work. Not as clean or up to date as I’d like.

Docks are dangerous, not a good swimming area, no good area to dock a boat.

Cute cabin, lots of dog rules

Cabin was located in lumberjack village, so a little noisy when the show was going on. Low on pots and pans, but adequate on bedding/towels. Listed as dog friendly, but accompanied by a list of things to do/not do with your dog, including where you can walk them. Probably best they go to just not allowing dogs at all.

Thanks for a great time at the village. Cabin had a lot of character. Was comfortable and accomodating. You do receive complementary mini golf and lumberjack show tickets which is a very nice touch. Would certainly stay again!
