We had a fantastic stay at Towering Pines! The home was clean, comfortable, and perfect for our group of six, including four adults and young kiddos. Highlights include an easy lake access, the dock, kayaks, and spending our evenings around the fire pit. It was a dream rental to relax and make family memories. We hope to happily stay here again!

Wives Weekend in Hayward was a blast! This cabin had plenty of room for 5 ladies. We enjoyed swimming in the lake, kayaking, time by the fire and did some puzzling. We enjoyed the night life at the Moccasins Bar! It’s definitely a sight to see.

I am not easy to please. This property exceeded my expectations.House was much larger than the photos showed. There are no two story bunk beds but three separate twin beds. One queen and one king.Rooms are very large and “everything” is supplied-bath towels, cooking utensils, bath tissue.Two large picture windows- sliding doors to lake view, and easy to use dock.Very nice and comfortableSteven

Location is phenomenal.

We enjoyed being right in Hayward yet feeling like we were way out in the woods on the lake. Drinking my coffee from the recliner in the house and watching the sun rise over the lake was such an awesome experience.

Perfect Location

Our group consisted of me, my husband and 2 of our adult kids. Location was perfect. We walked everywhere; to get a coffee in the morning, to the grocery store, to the Lumberjack show, to get ice cream and to the fishing museum. We sat around a fire on the back patio every night over looking the lake and talking. The kitchen is nice and big with lots of counterspace which made making meals easy. We would definitely stay here again!

Everything was well stocked. The view was wonderful and we enjoyed the fire pit. Can't control the weather but we found fun things to do inside on the rainy day as well. We put together a puzzle, played games and even did a word find.
