About this property

Northern Comfort at Lovejoy Lake, Hayward, WI

Our lake home is located on a serene, clear, quiet lake ten miles east of Hayward, WI. The place is perfect for a "get away" to enjoy the many winter recreational activities, enjoy the beauty of the fall season, and/or summer fun at the lake.

Lovejoy Lake is a small lake with no public access, thus it is very quiet and peaceful. During the summer the lake is great for swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing, floating from your private dock or simply enjoy the view of the lake from the screened in porch. . Paddle boards, a paddle boat, a kayak, and a fishing boat are available for your use.,

You may also want to enjoy the solitude and beauty of Northern Comfort in the fall -- fishing continues to be great, the ambiance is awesome and plenty of local trails are available for walking and/or biking while enjoying the beauty of the autumn colors. Winter is a special time too -- a time to try some ice fishing and/or hit the trails for snow shoeing or skiing, and/or just snuggle up with a book and enjoy the serenity of Northern Comfort.

We are less then 10 miles from Hayward which is an awesome town for family fun. The area is great for all types of spring, summer, fall and winter recreational activities. Our road recently opened for ATV and UTV travel. There are numerous trails that can now be utilized without a need to trailer your recreational vehicle

We purchased this lake home for family visits and short term rental purposes. Our current home is next door. We fell in love with the lake and all that the Hayward area has to offer so when this place was available to purchase we wanted to share the joy and relaxation we enjoy at Lovejoy with others.

The upper level of this home consists of two bedrooms, a master bath and a main bathroom. A nice size open space includes a family room, dining area, and a kitchen supplied with all the necessary cookware and utensils needed to make a great meal. A plus is that we have chickens and if our chickens are laying we love to share eggs! Also on the upper level is a spacious screened porch that looks out onto Lovejoy Lake.

The lower level consists of a bedroom, another room that was at one time used as a workroom but now has a single size bed in it, laundry facilities, a bathroom and another family room. When we purchased this home there were many shelves in the lower level family room so being an avid reader, rather then donating the books I had purchased and read, they are now becoming a small library for your reading pleasure. Also being shelved are many DVD's for rainy day entertainment!

Hayward is a great city for family activities. There are also many great golf courses and dining options. We are only a few miles from the Birkie Trails and the Chequamegon National Forest.

We are strictly enforcing no pets and a no smoking policy.

Lake view

We stayed at this lovely home for a few days of friendship and leaf peeking. The place was very comfortable. We enjoyed the screened in porch. The owners were welcoming, leaving fresh baked cookies and a bowl of eggs from their hens for us.

Perfect Weekend Getaway

Mike and Mary greeted us as soon as we arrived. House was just as it was listed. Lots of options to keep everyone busy. We spent the weekend fishing, paddle boarding, kayaking, and just enjoying the gorgeous lake. The day it rained we enjoyed the games, puzzles and books in the basement. Was a wonderful weekend!

Fun weekend with friends

We enjoyed our stay here, the owners were very welcoming and accommodating. The cabin was clean and comfortable for all 5 of us. There were beautiful sunsets on the quiet lake with calls from the loons. We were close to Hayward to go to Musky Fest with many restaurants to chose from. We also enjoyed the campfire at night where we never ran out of wood. Great stay!! Thank you for your hospitality!

We had a great stay! Thanks!

We came in winter and it had lots of snow. The view from the open windows is absolutely gorgeous and I can only imagine how beautiful it must be in the summer with the open water of the lake. We particularly enjoyed the interaction my son (9y) had with the hosts chicken on the other side of their property. They also had plenty of books to read for guests and the conversations I had with the hosts were very enjoyable and inspiring due to their intellectual background and open hearted welcoming. One feature I also have to highlight is the vast amount of people the property would be able to accommodate. Thanks for everything!

Home on the Lake

Despite the weather, we had a great time! Beautiful home right on the lake. Owners live next door and we're wonderful. Mary made the best cookies! Wish it would have been warmer and we could have spent more time by the lake. We did have a great time on the ATV trails. Loved it!

About the host

Hosted by Mary Roles and Mike Fleischhacker

Host profile image
My husband Mike and I are retired educators. We both taught and were administrators in the twin cities area. Ten years ago, shortly after our first granddaughter was born, we searched and found our perfect lake home. Every weekend and days off work that we could get away, we would spend here! After we both retired, we held on to our home in the White Bear Lake, Mn area for a short time then in 2015 we sold that house and became full time residents of Hayward, Wi. In November of 2016 we were able to purchase the lake home next to ours -- thus the creation of Northern Comfort and our ability to share with others the serenity, beauty and ambiance of Lovejoy Lake and the surrounding area!

Why they chose this property

We chose to purchase on Lovejoy Lake because it is small, has not public access, the water is clear, and the fishing is great. We especially enjoy the quietness of this area because of no public access; therefore it is only lake residents and renters that are on the lake. A gentlemen's agreement among owners includes a "no wake" policy which makes all the lake activities more enjoyable. During the winter, if possible, some of us create a ski trail around the lake.

What makes this property unique

A special benefit of Northern Comfort is the screened in porch that overlooks Lovejoy Lake! Our guests have enjoyed many hours reading, playing cards, eating, listening to the loons, enjoying the antics of our free range chickens and/or simply enjoying the beauty and serenity of the setting.
