About this cabin rental
Our spacious home is an easy 2 1/2 hour drive from the Twin Cities. Providing all of the luxuries you expect and all of the lake charm you seek, it features an all-knotty-pine interior, a ground floor primary suite, a cook's kitchen, and a wood-burning fireplace in a great room that overlooks the beautiful Lac Courte Oreilles Gold Coast. Its four bedrooms + spacious loft all face the lake (a 5th bedroom with a bunkbed is reached off of the primary bedroom), and the finished lower level will give the kids a place to hang out, watch TV and play pool. You can watch the sun rise over the lake in the morning and in the afternoon, watch the setting sun's rays dance off of the water.

We had a fabulous time at Lefty’s Lodge!
It is such a beautiful home! It far exceeded our expectations. We loved the great amenities and appreciated how well stocked your place was providing for all our needs. We enjoyed how the home was decorated leaving us with a cozy atmosphere. We truly enjoyed every area of your home and can’t thank you enough for sharing your place with us.

We love Lefty's! Our family has stayed here six times over the past six years. We started with just adults but have added a few grandchildren along the way. The house is immaculate, the lake incredible, the views spectacular and the host welcoming. The three levels of living space allow for plenty of space for families with kids and/or couples to have privacy and areas for the larger group to gather. The deck and screen porch are amazing spaces to socialize, play, view the lake, cook out and eat a quiet meal. We never had any problems with mosquitos either! On a very hot week like we just had, the air conditioning was a welcome luxury. Our family comes back year after year because this is the perfect place with wonderful hosts. Oh yeah, and the lake can't be beat for water sports, fishing, swimming or......whatever you like to do ini the water!

Lodge was full of everything we needed. Lots of space for everyone to spread out and have their own floor. Love that each room had its own full bath. Something for everyone to do whether you enjoy sitting on the deck, napping in the comfy chair or going out on the water. The stairs aren’t for everyone but they are sturdy and new. Dock may need an upgrade soon. Cant beat the beautiful view of the lake!! Overall a great place to stay!!

We have been traveling to the Stone Lake/ Hayward area for over 15 years. I can honestly say that staying at Lefty’s Lodge has been our finest experience. From the excellent communication (from our first inquiry throughout our entire stay), to the beautifully maintained cabin and property, we were exceptionally happy with the entire experience.
The lake and view are outstanding. The neighborhood is very peaceful, friendly and offers a terrific atmosphere for taking long walks. The kitchen is very well appointed with high end appliances and everything we needed to create delicious meals.
The pontoon boat (rented separately) is top notch and we appreciated the safety measures taken to ensure a stress free week on the lake.
The cabin feels very cozy and, at the same time, spacious which allowed us all to engage together and to have privacy. The proximity of the cabin to restaurants, shopping and the great outdoors was perfect.
We definitely plan on returning to Lefty’s Lodge in the future and can highly recommend this cabin to those seeking solace, nature, and a great time with friends and family!

Beautiful home, comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen. Peaceful and quiet setting. The counter set up made meal time buffet set up easy. Enough seating that all 11 of us could eat together inside or out. Enjoyed the fire pit at night. The screened in porch was a great place for folks to hang out when it was raining. Lots of pool was played. Many games to choose from. Beach had a nice sandy bottom. My mom’s knee isn’t good right now, so the only drawback for our group was the 40 stairs down to the dock. Overall, we had a wonderful time!

When you walk in the door to the home you’re welcomed by a beautiful view of the lake and feel the warmth of the home. From the decorations to the furniture; the love and care for this home is evident.
We had 3 different families celebrating the 4th of July, 50th anniversary and a birthday. The home accommodated everyone so well. The beds were comfortable, the house had everything needed for the stay, plenty of bathrooms, big beautiful kitchen, rec room, and many comfortable and relaxing places to sit and talk, read or take in the beauty of the surroundings. The lake itself was also great. Very clear water, good fishing and a big lake to explore.
The owner was amazing to work with and very accommodating to anything we needed. He was always available to answer questions or get us what we needed.
This is a highly recommended stay! We hope to be back!

Lefty's Lodge was perfect in almost every way. The location is great - secluded, but close to town. The kitchen has everything you could need, and has enough room for 4-5 people to be working in it at the same time. Nice big counter for laying out buffet meals. The living room has very comfortable furniture, and probably the best view we have had at any vacation home. All of the bedrooms had very comfortable beds and dressers/closets to unpack our belongings. The pool table was a nice feature on a rainy day. The dining area had a nice, big table for playing card games at night. We sat in the screened-in porch every morning and every evening. Very nice! Everything was exceptionally clean. The decor is very tasteful and interesting. We rented the pontoon for the week and were very pleased with it. We have rented boats for the last 15 years and this was the nicest one we ever had - very clean, no cracked/broken seats, ran well, etc. Misha was very easy to work with and always answered our questions in a very timely manner. Overall, this was a great experience at a very lovely house! The one thing that may be a downfall to the property for some people is the 40 steps down to the lake. For us (ages 10 to 71) it was not really a problem. There are several landings along the stairway if you need a rest! The stairs are well-built, with a sturdy handrail all the way down. Overall, definitely one of the best vacation homes we have had in the past 15 years!

This was our 2nd cabin week stay at Lefty's Lodge. Twelve of us: three generations ranging in age from 2-64. The house is very comfortable for everyone. Plenty of space indoors to play games, work on puzzles, and watch late night movies. We love the lake! The best swimming right off the dock and not too deep quite a ways out from shore. We also rented their pontoon, which was great for cruising the lake. We've already booked for next year!

Lefty's Lodge was absolutely perfect for our stay while visiting the area for the 50th Birkie. The house is huge, but it's the kitchen and living room that were just what we needed. Hope to be back someday. Our thanks to Misha for her hospitality.

Lefty’s Lodge is a beautiful, comfy lake home.
Kitchen has all the necessities, beds have good, supportive mattresses. The view of the lake from the house is lovely, gorgeous sunrises. We all said we would stay at this rental property again/anytime. Owners are friendly, helpful and very accommodating.

My family and I spent a lovely week at Lefty's Lodge! We have 2 teenagers and this vacation had zero complaints! We spent the week boating, swimming, fishing, mountain biking and playing games. The property was perfect! Lots of space and very clean and tidy. We cooked a few meals and happily discovered the kitchen to be perfectly equipped with everything we needed. We were just a quick drive from Hayward where we enjoyed some amazing meals too. (The Hayward Family diner was a big hit with my 16 year old!) This property would be perfect for big families, smaller families, big kids, little kids or just adults. If you are looking to spending a few days sipping coffee on the patio while enjoying a good book and staring out at a beautiful lake, then Lefty's is where you want to stay. Or if you are more of an adventurous spirit who loves swimming, boating, mountain biking and fishing, it's also perfect for you! Thanks Misha and Elka for a wonderful vacation.

We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation! The cabin was well stocked with everything we needed for a week away from home. The lake was very quiet and we enjoyed lots of boating time.

This was our fourth stay at Lefty's and we just love it. The house is immaculate, the lake is perfect and the location has something for all ages. Misha is a wonderful host before, during and after the stay.

Lefty’s Lodge was absolutely the most gorgeous lake home we have ever stayed in. The view of the lake when you enter the home is stunning, and it just gets better from there. Spacious, comfortable rooms and furnishings. Soo many games and activities. The fire pit - perfect for s’mores with the kids and conversation with the adults. Loved the screened porch for coffee in the morning—so cozy! Although we didn’t have a problem with mosquito, the porch would be great for that if needed. Communication with the host was timely and thorough—as were instructions for the use of the home.
One of the highlights for us was the use of the beautiful 22’ pontoon. It was so convenient to have it right there with a lift next to the dock. It is in perfect condition - great for swimming at the sand bar, fishing, and cruising to the restaurants on the lake (both Anglers Haven and Trails End have play equipment for kids and patio dining—so fun!). We highly recommend renting it - it really made the vacation extra special! Although there are many steps down to the lake, there are places to rest on the way down if needed! We even had a wonderful time on cooler and rainy days - fires in the indoor fireplace, family tournaments with several of the many games to choose from (pool, croquet, etc.) Great location - only 10-15 minute drive to Hayward - if you like beer, be sure to try the Angry Minnow!
It goes without saying that we highly recommend this home. Misha and Elka made us feel like family!

We loved staying at Lefty's. The house is stocked for all age ranges - the kitchen with plastic (for the kiddos) and glass (for the adults), lots of games, marshmallow roasters, dry wood for the fire, etc. The space is lovely and comfortable.
As a mom, I loved the screened in porch connected off the kitchen. It was my favorite room. It had a door to go outside that I could lock, and another door out to the large, gorgeous deck, where my daughter could safely run (because there are not stairs from the deck down to the yard). My kiddo played all week on that porch. It had a bit of whimsy in the decorations, and had comfy chairs for me to read the one book I've finished all year.
There are 40 steps down to the lake which is fine for most people. My parents are getting older, so they didn't go down to the lake as much as they would have if it was closer. This, of course, can't be changed, but is worth noting if you are going on a multi-generational trip.
I'd highly recommend working with Misha and staying at Lefty's.

We loved our stay at Lefty’s Lodge! Our group of 11, ages 4-70, had a wonderful 4th of July week. The lake is fabulous- clear, calm water with a sandy bottom. We enjoyed water sports, swimming and also spent time at the lake’s sand bar each day. We visited the restaurants on the lake for live music, great views and delicious food. The cabin has multiple spaces for all; we especially loved the screen in porch overlooking the lake. Downtown Hayward was adorable and just a short drive away. Also, we noticed almost no mosquitoes as a previous post had mentioned was an issue. Misha and Elka were so attentive and helpful. Lefty’s truly has it all!

Lefty’s Lodge… We enjoyed it so much last year. We booked it right away for this year and it was incredible. Lefty’s doesn’t leave anything out…they’ve thought of EVERYTHING a family would need for the most amazing time on the lake.

Overall, the experience was GREAT! The host was easy to communicate with throughout the whole process. This location was 14 minutes from Hayward! The weekend we went it was the land of 10,000 mosquitoes, but the family time was worth it. The home accommodated our larger group well. Highly recommend!

This house was perfect for our group of four couples but it would also be great with kids. The house had everything we needed and was very comfortable in every way. The location is also nice. Private but not too far from Hayward or local restaurants/bars. Don’t hesitate to book this home!

We enjoyed every second of our time. The owners were accommodating to an earlier checkin which was the cherry on top. This a family friendly property and great spot for kiddos too! We hope to return someday!

The lake was excellent and fishing went very well. We loved the option to rent the pontoon boat and enjoyed several rides with it. It was our first time visiting the Hayward area and it was nice to be so close.

Lovely La Coute Orielles
Our family has been enjoying summers in Hayward WI for years. We were over the "loon" (moon) to discover Lefty's Lodge. It was perfect for our family, fishing, boating, hanging out playing games. There is SO MUCH to see and do in this area ... it just continues to beckon us back year after year. This place was so perfect, we've already booked for 2023 and can't wait to be at the lake again. Thanks Elka and Misha.

Loved it!
It was perfect for our 3 generation family cabin week! There was plenty of room for all of us (12 + infant). The kitchen is large and well appointed. The swimming is fantastic! It's sandy and fairly shallow for quite a distance. We all enjoyed swimming and playing in the lake. The fishing was also a lot of fun. We caught enough for two fish dinners during our stay. Misha was super to work with and quick to respond to any inquiry. We highly recommend Lefty's Lodge and have already booked for next year!

Perfection
Everything about the location and property is absolutely perfect. Activities for all kinds of weather, ages, and abilities. Our family ranges in age from 1-53, and everyone had a great time. Owners are very easy to work with and made the process seamless. The bonfires and boat rides were my favorite parts.
