Cozy Hayward Cottage w/ Dock & Lakefront View
Fall is in the air at this peaceful 3-bedroom, 2-bath vacation rental on Ikwe Bay. But no matter the season, surrounding activities are plentiful, including world-class fishing, hiking and leaf-peeping, ice fishing and snowmobiling, and more. After long days spent enjoying the great outdoors or exploring Hayward's Main Street, return home to relax and unwind. The wood-burning stove makes for cozy nights by the fire, and the furnished lake-view deck is perfect for an evening happy hour!

The cabin was clean and big then I expected. Maybe move the TV a different spot or a little left by the table though. It was quiet all the time we went. We catched a lot of fish. Large bass, pike, crappie, bluegill and two muskie!. I recommended the cabin.

Great rental
We loved this rental! Felt like home, great fishing, nice swimming area, plenty of room to park trucks and boat trailers. Something to note- pontoon lift is not for renters to use and the second dock was very rickety. This made docking our pontoon and fishing boat tricky while leaving room to swim. Could use a dehumidifier in the bunk room.The pros of this house definitely outweigh the 2 cons. Have already booked for next year.
