About this property

Secluded/Pet-friendly home on 3+ acres, close to downtown Hayward/ATV Trails

Welcome to Animal Kottage! We are located in a secluded area in Hayward, WI on 3.5 pet-friendly acres and only 3 miles from enjoying the downtown atmosphere of this amazing city.
Enjoy your morning coffee on warm summer mornings and take in the evening sunsets while grilling on the back porch. Plenty of room in the manicured yard for outdoor games experience or just enjoying some drinks around the firepit while the kids and dogs play.
Located close to several lakes, shopping, lots of great restaurants as well as ATV and Snowmobile trails.
Watch as deer wander through the property on their way to the Namekagon river just a short walk away or as birds, bunnies, and other wildlife enjoy the quiet and remote location.

We loved our stay at Animal Kottage. The space was very clean and welcoming. We loved the coffee bar and sitting outside by the firepit. We appreciate that the owners are animal lovers!

Sparkling clean, great location

We loved the privacy and quietness of the property. The yard was great for letting the dogs play and having fires or sitting on deck. Yet it was only a short, easy drive from Hayward. The house itself was very clean, well stocked and we had plenty of room. We enjoyed the complimentary coffee bar.

We stayed here for a bit of an extended stay this winter. We found this home to be very clean and well-equipped and just as pictured & described. Just a few minutes out of town but feels secluded. Hosts were wonderful to work with. Will be staying here again in a few months.

Quiet get away near Hayward WI.

We stayed 5 nights while moving across country. The house was comfortable, dog-friendly, in a secluded wooded area but still easy access to town and highway. Hosts resolved a hornet nest problem quickly, and were friendly & responsive throughout our stay. A nice stay in an area that has few vrbo's with enough beds for our family.

Beautiful house great kitchen great bedroom and bathroom setup. Wish the trails were a little bit clearer for walking - didn't want to get on someone else's property but I'm sure of property lines. I will definitely stay here again. Owners communicated by email and directions for the locks were clear

Birkie 2023

This was a perfect location for the Birkie weekend, located just a few minutes outside of downtown Hayward. It is in a wooded area with beautiful nature right outside the big windows. I love the themed décor on the inside of "pet lovers" hence the "Animal Cottage". We were supposed to have more family and kids staying with us but unfortunately there were a few illness and they were not able to make it. We hope to rent this cottage in the future.

In the area for a wedding

Overall, our stay was great! the property was clean, secluded. It offered a comfortable space where we could include our dog to relax and enjoy our stay and visit with family. We drove 11 hours from IN to Hayward WI. When we arrived, we couldn't locate the property because the driveway looks like it was part of "East ST" and could not view house from the road. The folks at the Kennel were super helpful and friendly. On day two our dog got loose while we were at the wedding event and the folks at the Kennel caught him, secured him safely, and Jordan notified us. We were looking forward to using the firepit, however the weather kept us inside. Only thing I would request to be improved upon would be more towels offered, (only 2 in the master bathroom) maybe extra blankets or throws for extra comfort on cool damp days, please offer laundry detergent and cleaning supplies. When I usually stay at a property, I have all sheets/towels and property cleaned before I leave. Or add to listing that those things are not provided, and I could have prepared better.

Nice Property

We enjoyed a nice stay over Labor Day weekend with family. The prperty was very clean and well maintained. It was located in a secluded location and very peaceful. Even though it was secluded it was only a few minutes drive to downtown Hayward. The only disappointment was even thogh they had wi-fi, we had no internet service during our entire stay. 😒 Owning my own business, having to use my cell phone for everything was a challenge and ate up a lot of minutes! The hosts were quick to respond to our questions about the internet and apologetic. The check in process was a bit "techie." The host sent a link to an app that had to be downloaded. You then had to create an account in order to use the app to be able to lock and unlock the door. Had it been only my elderly mother and older sister staying not so sure they would have figured out how to use!😁 This is minor, and just a suggestion to the host, a roll of paper towels would have been useful, also a full length mirror. Women like to see how they look from head to toe!

About the host

Hosted by Jordan

Host profile image
We are locals of the Hayward area and have always enjoyed the quiet and freedom that the area provides with its many trails for ATVs, snowmobiles, horses, skiing, or hiking. The wildlife is truly amazing, and we see a multitude of it every day, including bear, deer, turkeys, birds, hummingbirds, etc. As dog owners, we love the ability of having plenty of space to allow them to run and play in our yard or take them on hiking trails with us. We want to provide that same opportunity to our guests which is why we are pet-friendly hosts.

Why they chose this property

The house is not located in what we would call a neighborhood. It is on a corner lot with a single "neighbor" about 750 feet away. It is a peaceful and relaxing location that provides guests the opportunity to really enjoy all that the Northwoods has to offer.

What makes this property unique

Situated on 3.5 acres with a large backyard, firepit, and grill the house provides guests with the ability to stretch their legs and minds while their children and dogs play in the yard or wooded areas.
