We thoroughly enjoyed our two-night stay here. The cabin was exactly as the pictures/description indicated, and check-in/check-out was extremely easy with the key pad. The large home worked really well for the four of us; it was spacious, comfortable, quiet, and clean. Everything we needed during our stay was provided, including a very extensive welcome guide. We highly recommend staying here!

Home away from home

Our stay was the best. The house is very clean and nicely organized. Beds are comfortable and lots of room. The paths to the Birkie are a plus and the paths to the piers by the water were two of our daughters favorite spots. We definitely will stay again.

Up North Getaway

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. The remodel job on this property was impressive. The weather was cool and rainy, but we enjoyed just relaxing in this cozy cabin. The owners made sure we had everything we needed during our stay. I highly recommend this place to anyone that wants to visit Hayward.

A group of us stayed for the Epic Bike Fest. The location as perfect as we were able to just ride to the start line. We loved this location in general, as it was out of town, but so close to downtown Hayward. Very cute and rustic feeling cabin. Well equipped with all the things as advertised. Amazing back yard and the bedrooms were spacious.
