The ability to use all three cabins, very close together but each with their own beds and bathrooms, was a perfect set up for our group of teens and coaches/chaperones. Owners were very helpful and the property was well set up and very clean.

Had 3 couples stay in the wonderful cabin for the 100 mile vintage challenge in Hayward. Although the lake wasn’t rideable due to ice conditions the main trail was very accessible by road! The cabin was well outfitted with everything you’d need. Would definitely stay again/recommend to others! Thanks Pat for sharing your cabin with us!

My family stayed in all 3 cabins. It was amazing! Everyone had their own space, but could all come to the big cabin for meals and family time. We went to snowmobile, but the trails were closed. So, we found other things to do. My grandkids all want to go back in the summer so they can use the kayaks, etc. Patrick could not have been more accommodating due to our unforeseen issues. I would definitely recommend this rental.

Four friends gathered at the Spruce Chalet for a weekend of cross-country skiing. The place is quite charming. The large windows in the living room offer a great view of Hayward Lake. We would love to see it in the summer. The interior is spacious and comfortable, including the beds and the pillows. The one of us who brought a pillow from home didn’t need to use it. We loved having the fireplace (it’s gas or electric) and had it on whenever we were in the cabin. In addition, the chalet is well-supplied--with kitchen implements, linens, games, and books. All of us agreed that we would definitely return.

We had a group of 3 - 16 year olds and 4 couples. We rented the large cabin and one of the smaller ones. It was perfect! Both cabins had plenty of amenities: Towels, bedding, pots and pans, condiments, up to date appliances and very comfy beds. The view was spectacular. Felt very private but was minutes from downtown Hayward. It was a little chilly when we went but that is what campfires are for! They had lots of kayaks and life jackets and canoes. It was a wonderful trip for our family and can’t wait to do it again next year!!

Everything was great! We really enjoyed our stay!

Really cool property in a great location in Hayward. Plenty of room for people to have their own space and for group games. It was a great experience!

We had 5 different families celebrating a variety of graduations, anniversaries, and birthdays. It was great being able to cook our own meals and have plenty of room to play games. Lots of fun equipment to use outside. Plenty of space so everyone had some privacy.

We all loved the location & facilities - secluded, quiet lakefront with beautiful view. There was plenty of room for each family to have their own space in comfortable "up north" surroundings. Host was extremely helpful & responsive. We'd stay there again in a heartbeat!

Very nice place. All amenities were as advertised. Gorgeous view. Very clean. We will book this again in the future!

The property was beautiful, great view of Lake Hayward. The cabins were perfect we enjoyed our stay

The cabin could’ve been attended to a bit more is what we all felt. The towels felt dirty and basics like soap and shampoo are not provided ( although mentioned in the listing). This is the first property we have been to that had a coffee machine but nothing available to make even 1 cup of coffee. No coffee, sugar or creamer at all. What does it take to keep the basic requirements. No one needs 3 jars of salt. There was no iron available either and communication with the owners was really delayed. We contacted them twice during the trip- both times delayed response. We requested for an hour late check out and by the time they got back, we had already checked out before the estimated time. Overall we had a good time because we were with friends but not the greatest place to feel cozy in.

Everything was as expected. A lovely cabin with great artwork

Beautiful property on the lake. Parking is somewhat challenging with multiple large trucks and trailers but definitely a nice place to stay for a weekend away. Friendly owner with quick responses to questions.

Very nice place and location in Hayward

We loved our stay the cabin was equipped with much more than we could imagined! The place was more spacious than we had anticipated! everything was amazing we had a wonderful thanksgiving! Good memories. The owner is courteous and responsive. thanks Patrick

Had a great time with the hunting group. Had plenty of room for the 5 of us. Everything was clean and plenty of anything you would need for a stay. Definitely would go back

Spectacular view from the cabin and close to the lake. Lots of hot water (the best of any cabin we have stayed in). Enjoyed fishing off the dock and feeding the bunny that lived by the duck boat. Would definitely book again.

Great place to stay.

Had such at a great time! The cabins we well furnished and plenty of toys for the older kids to play on the water. The only down side was not being able to swim right from the cabin, however we had boats and the beach is eight around the corner enjoyed that multiple times. Also the proximity to town was great too, just a quick trip to get supplies!

Our week at the Bushman's cabins was everything we could have hoped for! The cabins were stocked with all the comforts of home, including linens, paper products, soaps, utensils,, dishware and in the Chalet, condiments as well. Our family group rented all three cabins so we had 250 feet of frontage including 2 docks and lots of lawnspace, watercraft, a huge deck and screened in porch to ourselves. We couldn't swim right off the property, but the Hayward City beach was easy driving distance. There were firepits, gorgeous views, and abundant nature right out our front steps. The fishing was enjoyable, although we mostly caught panfish. There was cable TV, WiFi, and full kitchens in the Chalet and White Spruce Retreat. We would love to come back! Please note, it is a protected scenic waterway so finding boat rentals on Lake Hayward was challenging and very $$$. The view of the lake right outside the door was outstanding!!

It was a great place. View of the lake was great.

Really cute cabin. It felt really secluded but is only 4 minute drive to get groceries. It was stocked with everything we needed. The hosts were really easy to get into contact with.

Wonderful property. We loved how you felt secluded but were really close to town. The owner was really helpful with the whole process.

Nice cabin. Would be great for large groups with the other two cabins available. Beach/waterfront could use a little cleaning.

Great location!

We enjoy the cabin getaway

Working with Patrick was such a pleasure. He talked with us before our visit and he checked in to make sure all was well once we got there.

We ended up renting this cabin pretty last minute to get away to escape Covid, lol. Patrick was amazing at communicating with us and their cabin is beautiful. We did not want to leave. The king size bed upstairs is SO comfortable too.

Great experience! Cabin was lovely and fully stocked with everything you wiuld need! Owners were fabulous and made sure you felt welcomed!!

This cabin is perfect! Joyfully decorated with all the comforts of home! Timely and thorough communication with hosts. We will most definitely be back!!

Convenient location to ALL in Hayward which was nice. Front door lock hard to open and close as we're warned. Maid did cosmetic cleaning but in day light VERY dusty...so family had allergies. Very nice cabin inside. VERY weedy...so if your fishing, you must go WAY out beyond it all...once did caught big bass/ pike. Outdoor furniture getting worn. Owners seem good / nice/helpful when notified. Overall decent experience..
