Nordlys Lodging Co. - LongHouse

DianaRating, 5 stars2 months ago
We had the most magical time at this beautiful Airbnb! The home itself is stunning—every corner feels cozy, welcoming, and perfectly designed for both relaxation and fun. The views? Absolutely breathtaking. Whether you’re sipping coffee in the morning or stargazing at night, nature wraps around you in the best way. There were so many outdoor activities to keep us entertained—we were never bored for a second. The activity hut was such a unique touch, and the sauna? Pure bliss after a day outside. We also loved the incredible kitchen—fully stocked with everything you could dream of for cooking up amazing meals. And don’t even get me started on the bathrooms—like a mini spa experience every time. This place has a special kind of energy. Peaceful, fun, and full of magic.

Vintage Modern Lake Cabin | Unique Design w/Kayaks

TonyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Sarah’s wonderful home is a genuine experience. I’ve been using Airbnb since the very beginning of the app, and I believe it’s a fair statement that the home is top 3 for me. Sarah is so kind and communicative, the home is comfortable, interesting, and a lovely place to spend time in. Full of games, books, a great record collection, and magazines—there’s plenty to stay busy. Incredible access to the lake with all the equipment needed to fish, kayak or canoe. Nothing but positive things to say.

The Gordon Flowage Cabin

RachelRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We had a wonderful stay at Brandi's cabin. The place was even better than the photos and description. We caught an abundance of fish right off the dock all day, every day. The beds were comfy, and the place was clean and well stocked. We hope to come back soon!

We have been coming up north for 20 years, and this year at LCO was one of our favorite trips. The cabin was perfect and peaceful. I would not hesitate a second to recommend Zach and this perfect cottage to anyone coming to LCO. Whenever I had a question or comment, prompt response was given. Super flexible with us. I have nothing but good things to say about this experience! Great fishing, great family bonding, exceptional memories made all because of the opportunity to stay at this cabin. Will most definitely be back if available again!!

Enjoyed the sauna, kids love the bunk bed. The mattress wasn’t the most comfortable for me. The place is not fancy but was private, nice porch, fire pit and adequate kitchen. Worked for what we needed.

On River’s Bend Cabin | Summer Getaway | Bonfire

TrishaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
This was our second stay (first was in October) and again we thoroughly enjoyed it. Rather than fall colors though we were treated to thousands of trillium in the woods and hundreds of ferns. We also found some daffodils and wild violets. The owls, eagles and deer also cooperated with numerous visits, along with an osprey calling overhead, a male pileated woodpecker, mergansers down on the river and two male rose-breasted grosbeaks in the crabapples (which were in full bloom). And again, the house was impeccable and fully furnished. FULLY FURNISHED -- you don't need to bring a thing, but food. The beds were extremely comfortable and, this may sound weird, but the pillows were so nice when we got home last October we ordered some of the same for our house! And we're already talking about coming back in September. Bringing the kayak on that trip though because the Apple River Flowage, and possibly Pike Lake, are calling me!! :-) Thank you again Ashley and Charlie.

Quaint lakefront cabin

RebeccaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
It was the perfect space for a long weekend getaway -- quiet, tranquil, and quaint. Loved the deck overlooking the water and the fire ring with Adirondack chairs available to enjoy the nice evening. The inside space was sufficient for our needs, and good for a night in to watch a movie. Very responsive host that was helpful in resolving any needed elements right away. Easy check in and check out process. Would definitely stay there again :)

Memorial weekend with the family! Had a great time. The house was perfect with lots of charm. Enjoyed days of fishing, kayaking, kids swimming, and just enjoying the view! Made our annual trip up to Hayward which was great as always and only 15 minutes a way! Nights were spent around the fire cooking s’mores, playing Pictionary, and blank slate! Great house and great hosts!

Cozy Cabin in the Woods

Taia JoRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Will most definitely be coming back here!! The space is absolutely gorgeous and so so peaceful. Such a perfect place for a restful weekend with your favorite people. My friends and I celebrated our best friend’s bachelorette and we could not have asked for a better location to do so. Beds are very comfortable and the entire feel of the cabin is just cozy and intimate, which is exactly what we were looking for. The hosts were quick to respond with any needs and clear in their instructions for checking in and out. Can’t wait to go back!

Thank you again for another beautiful stay Bethany. The weather was warm enough this time where we got to enjoy smores on the campfire and sat on the dock to watch the beautiful northern lights play across the sky. We hope to come visit again in the not too distant future. Be well and thank you for everything, Karen

Guest House at the Lake

PatriciaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Debbie's cottage is everything the site shows it to be. Staying in this pristine pine cottage nestled on a beautiful Northwoods lake on a quiet road surrounded by birch and pines met every hope and dream for this trip. Especially for my grandson who came with no agenda but to fish. He caught a 12# Northern off their dock! Debbie and Keith were beyond accommodating, so attentive to what we might need. I am so grateful to them and for having had this experience. Strongly recommend this for a Northwoods, lake-life getaway.

The Golf Cottage

ShannonRating, 5 stars1 month ago
The Golf Cottage was perfect for us, a retired couple, but also has amenities which cater to familes with children. Fantastic location next to the golf course; so peaceful, even deer walking down the road between the cottage and the course. Amber was attentive throughout our visit, but not too much to bother, just the right amount of contact. The property was very clean, organized, and homey. We felt very much at home there and lacked for nothing. We would not hesitate to book this property again.

Your guide to Hayward

Welcome to Hayward

If you prefer your recreation outdoors, Hayward is an all-terrain, all-season playground, a hub for (honest-to-goodness) lumberjacks, fishers, mountain bikers, and snow-sports enthusiasts alike. Maps of this corner of Northeastern Wisconsin look like a green doily spread over a blue pond — the land is so riddled with lakes that it’s a wonder highways can traverse the region — and the town’s most notable landmark is a giant, toothy statue of a muskie outside the National Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame. Visitors who aren’t paddling or water-skiing may be teeing up on one of the area’s eight golf courses or hiking deep in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest. The city of Hayward itself is equal parts rustic and welcoming, with plentiful restaurants (don’t miss Friday night fish fry!) and shops. Wintertime visitors spend their days whizzing through the woods on snowmobiles and skis, returning to town only to warm up.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Hayward

There is never a bad time to visit Hayward, a four-season destination for outdoor activities. That said, the weather in northeastern Wisconsin is never demure: After a too-short spring in May, the temperatures can hit the 80s from June through early September, and all those lakes contribute to the mugginess of the air. Summer is peak season for hikers, fly fishers, and golfers. In July, the Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwe Tribe, whose lands are just outside town, hold their Honor the Earth Pow Wow, drawing people from all over the Upper Midwest. The lakes grow slightly quieter in the fall, though off-road bikers descend on Hayward in September for the Chequamegon MTB Festival. From October through April, temperatures drop below — sometimes far below — the freezing point, and the thick layer of snow turns Hayward into a playground for snowmobile riders and cross-country skiers.


Top things to do in Hayward

Fishing

The 56,000 acres of water in the Hayward Lakes Area are legendary among Wisconsin’s anglers, who hop from lake to lake in search of walleye, bluegill, and some of the largest muskies the Midwest produces. Chippewa Flowage is the area’s largest lake, and Lac Courte Oreilles and Round Lakes two of the clearest. Outfitters in town will supply whatever you need for a day of fishing, and you can find guide services and boat rentals if you don’t tow your own. Taking a break on land? Stop by the National Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame for education programs, displays of lures and record-sized catches, and perhaps a Bigfoot sighting.

Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest

Drive east on Highway 77 from Hayward for about 40 miles and you enter the 858,400-acre Chequamegon National Forest. Hundreds of miles of trails for hikers and mountain bikers bring you through leafy stands of maple and oak, wide swaths of white pine, and deep ravines, and there are dozens of campgrounds to stake a tent in. If you connect with the North Country Scenic Trail, you may encounter weathered backpackers making their way along this eight-state route. In winter, dedicated bikers swap out their summer rides for fat-tire bikes, sharing the groomed trails with snowshoers.

Lumberjack Sports

Hayward is home to the Lumberjack World Championships every July, when burly woodspeople compete in speed-climbing, chopping, sawing, and the ever-popular log-rolling competitions. From May through September, the arena hosts a popular lumberjack show five days a week, with a family-friendly mix of comedy skits and feats of skill. Even if you can’t swing an ax yourself, you can putt-putt on a lumberjack mini golf course and load up on woodsy souvenirs.
