We are not big vacationers because sometimes what you see in the pictures is not what you get. But this home swayed us to take a chance, and we got more than what the pictures show. First, the home is as beautiful as pictured, unique, spacious, organized, and clean (so very clean). We had 10 people staying in this amazing space. Having large rooms with huge beds, our own bathrooms, lots of privacy, and an amazing outdoor area to retreat to (with lights, grills, and fun hammock seating), our stay was so enjoyable and relaxing. And we were literally minutes away from downtown. We could walk to coffee or popcorn or ice cream or tacos every day (you will do a lot of eating, so bring your bigger pants)! And on nights we wanted to remain home, we had such a rest haven in this location. The owner is like no other. He enriched our experience! He went out of his way to make us feel at home. He was faithful to check in and offer to be available to help us or answer questions; he is so responsive, kind, generous, and hospitable. He treats his guests like long time friends! He wants his friends to have an awesome time, and we did! From helping us start the fire on s'more nights to letting us use his paddle boards and kayaks (no hidden rental fee), and then driving us to the beach and picking us up, to offering to let us accompany him on mountain bike rides, to recommending the best eateries and attractions, to making a call to help our little boy participate in the local Lumber Jack show, he helped give my family an unforgettable experience. None of us wanted to leave, and we are already talking about when we can return. Plus, if you have little ones, there's so much in this space for them to enjoy, too! Truly, if you are looking for the best vacation spot in Hayward WI, look no further. You are home here, and I can guarantee you that you will not find another host like this one. Book this space now. I promise you it'll be one of the absolute best vacations you ever gift yourself and your loved ones!
