Lakeshore Lily Pad - cozy cabin on the shores of Lake Hayward
About this cabin rental
Surrounded by trees, settled right on Lake Hayward sits this charming & cozy cabin in a little cabin community less than half a mile from downtown Hayward. Launch your canoe just steps from the cabin's entrance, bike into town for lunch, or go hiking or skiing on the nearby trails, this cabin is nestled in the perfect location! This is a studio size cabin with one queen bed, sofa (with pull-out queen mattress), bathroom, kitchenette with a fridge, microwave, Keurig coffeemaker & outdoor grill. Easy access using a key code & key. We love & have lots of dogs and know how important it is to bring your pooch along on your adventure. We are pet-friendly but please let us know if you plan to bring yours, as we do charge a cleaning fee ($30 for the total stay). We ask that you clean up after your dog (inside the cabin & outside), and do not leave your dog unattended in the cabin unless kenneled. We provide the essentials - bath towels, shampoo/conditioner, soap, dish soap, coffee mugs, plates, utensils. We have a Keurig coffee maker with assorted coffees, sugar and creamer for you. We also have a regular coffee maker and provide filters. We have a small fridge, microwave and sink. There is an outdoor grill however you will need to bring charcoal & lighter fluid. This is a small cabin community with 8 cabins in total and some common/shared spaces - there are 2 community firepits that are for you to use, picnic tables, and multiple docks. You can bring and launch your canoe or kayak right here on the water. FAQS: Q: Can we check-in early or check-out late? A: It depends. Check in is at 3pm. Ask me and we will do our best to let you know as soon as your cabin is available. We and our cleaning staff have strict protocols to follow and can't always have the cabin ready earlier than 3pm. Feel free to use the common grounds such as the firepits, docks, and shoreline beforehand but please allow our cleaning crew the space they need to properly prepare your space. Q: Is there WiFi and is it any good? A: Yes and yes! We upgraded our router in 2020. We've had many guests stay and "work from home" and students that complete their coursework from the cabin without a single complaint. Q: Do we have cable TV? A: No, not anymore. We have smart TVs so you can log in to your favorite streaming services. Just remember to log out before you leave. Q: Do we provide firewood for campfires? A: No, however you can purchase firewood at several local convenience stores and grocery stores for $5-6 per bundle. You may also see signs on the drive up to purchase firewood at various residences. There are strict regulations against transporting firewood from other areas so please don't do that. Often times previous guests will leave unused firewood behind so you might just get lucky and not need to purchase any at all. We also don't provide matches/lighters. Q: Is the water safe to drink? A: Yes! We are on the city water line so it is safe to drink and cook with. There is both hot and cold water. Q: Do I have to clean up before I check-out? A: Uh, no. That's our job! Just enjoy your stay. Leave ALL used dishes/silverware out so they can be sanitized. Don't worry about making the bed because we're replacing the linens anyway. Please just lock the door and restore the key in the key box. Q: Why is the cleaning fee so expensive? A: Although the cabin is small, it takes a while to change the linen, restock, sanitize dishes, mop, etc. We try to pay our cleaning crew a livable wage and add in the expense of laundry and common items we supply and it adds up very quickly. We don't make or attempt to make any profit off of the cleaning expense. Q: Are the other cabins grouped close together? A: Yes, the cabins are grouped closely. You can get a sense by looking through all the photos we have posted. Not all cabins on the premises are rented/rentable however. Q: Is it a contactless check-in? A: Yes, it is self check-in and check-out. You will receive a code to access the cabin key in a lockbox. Please return the key when you leave. It's that simple! Q: Can I swim in the lake? Is there a beach? A: We have a shoreline with 3 docks but the water gets deep pretty quickly off the shoreline. There are a few spots where it's a little shallower. For a true sandy beach, head to Hayward City Beach which is less than one mile from the cabin. Q: Does the cabin have good heat? A: Yes it does! We recently upgraded to mini-split heater/AC units. The heating and cooling is simply remote controlled and responds much faster than our previous heating system. Q: Where's the flat sheet on the bed? A: Keeping with the European-style theme, the bed has a duvet. We change and clean ALL linens after every stay and take great pride in our cleanliness. We also have an extra blanket stored if you need it. Q: Is there enough room to park a boat/trailer? A: Yes! The parking area is large enough for several vehicles. If you have a trailer, you can back in park in three different areas. We just ask that you not block anyone else in. Q: Do we have a boat landing? A: No, not at our location however there is a public boat launch about a half mile away. You can launch your boat there and tie it down on one of our docks! It's much less than a half mile by boat from the launch to the docks. Q: What kind of fish are in Lake Hayward? A: Musky, panfish, Bass, Northern Pike, Trout, and Walleye. Q: Do we have boat or canoe/kayak rentals? A: No, we don't however Hayward Outfitters/Hayward Water Sports does and they are less than a half mile away, right next to the boat launch. Q: Are there hiking trails nearby? A: There is a paved trail near the parking area for a brief, leisurely stroll. Otherwise check out the Hayward Chamber of Commerce site for hiking and other outdoor activities. Q: Are there ATV/Snowmobile trails close by? A: Yes. Trail access is just across the street from the parking area. You can find trail maps on the Hayward Lakes site or Sawyer County Alliance site. Q: Are there any good places to eat? A: Of course! We can't give recommendations but suggest you check out the Hayward Chamber of Commerce site for local dining options. If you have any other questions, I'd be glad to answer them!

Our stay was wonderful. The host made it very easy and smooth. Finding the key box was a mystery especially when we arrived after sun down. It was hidden *hint. Overall, 10/10 we will definitely be back. Thank you for a comfortable first time experience!

This lovely and well appointed space had everything we needed to come back to after a day of exploring Hayward. The twinkle lights were great for late night chats on the deck and the town of Hayward is very small town and big comforts at the same time. We will be back again to the Lily Pad! It was totally amazing! Matt is a great host and incredibly responsive!

The cabin was very clean and comfortable. The property is absolutely adorable and even though you are right outside of town you still feel like you are "away". We were happy with everything and will definitely go back! Only wish we knew how to rent out the entire property but there are multiple owners.

Came for 2 days for relaxation. The cabin had everything I needed except a plunger. Down to the grocery store bought one very inexpensive and donated it to the cabin. Otherwise every thing was there. No stove but a electric fry pan. Grill that was clean and all the utensils. I will be back for more relaxation.. Backroads coffee was excellent. The have a very good bakery. Nice stop in the morning.

We had a great winter stay in this warm, very clean, well-laid out cabin. The kids raved about how much they liked it. The kitchen set up was good considering the size. Thank you!

Worked out great for us. Needed a place that accepts dogs so she could hold down the fort while we were at the trails. Very nice accommodations. Heating system was confusing but we figured it out. Would definitely stay again.
