Family of 7 and was fun for the whole family. Nice little trip up north. Colors were nice and made the walk down to the lake that much better. The space in the house is used very effectively. Updated kitchen is very nice. Rec room off the garage was definitely a nice place to have the kids hang out and play.

Our stay was wonderful! The detached garage with bunk beds was perfect for our 4 grandsons. They had a space of their own and we could still keep an eye on them! The kitchen was very well equipped and although we had a little trouble with it at the beginning, we figured out the flat top grill! The boys enjoyed the kayaks and canoe and we rented a pontoon from the Golden Rule Resort next door. Overall, we had a great vacation and really enjoyed our time!

We had a great time at Hilltop Hideaway, perfect base for exploring the Hayward area. Thanks for the use of all the kayaks and canoes-the lake is perfect for padddling! Everything in the cottage was functional and clean.

Family trip

Our family of four had a great trip to Hayward. The house was close to town while still being secluded. We enjoyed the kayaks and canoes on the quiet lake. Owners responded quickly to messages. Would stay here again!

Cabin was perfect. Had everything we needed for us and the kids. We’ve stayed in a number cabins in similar settings and this was by far the nicest. It’s a cabin that you actually enjoy spending time in, not just a place you put up with because of the location. Had an amazing vacation and caught tons of fish.

Great Winter Get-away

What a cozy spot to settle into for a ski weekend in northern Wisconsin. Stephanie was incredibly responsive to all inquiries and made sure we were comfortable for our stay. The additional space for kids to gather and create memories is wonderful! Thanks much!

Great Stay

We loved our stay at this cabin. The cabin was very clean and upscale, yet homey. It is great for a couple or a family. We enjoyed kayaking through the chain of lakes. We also took a day trip to see some waterfalls in the UP. The cabin had a secluded feel which we loved, but was close enough to Hayward to pop over for some shopping. The hosts were very communicative and went above and beyond.

Beautiful Cabin

My family really enjoyed our stay at Hilltop Hideaway. The cabin has been flawlessly remodeled and updated with the up north feel but has all the modern amenities. The kitchen had everything needed to feed a big family. The teenagers especially enjoyed the game room and made use of the kayaks and canoes. It was also fun to cook on the black stone griddle. I enjoyed watching all the wildlife in the area. Highly recommend a stay at Hilltop Hideaway.

Perfect for our family

We have 4 kids with my wife and I, and this property was perfect for our family. The kids all slept in the bunk room while my wife and I had the bedroom. Huge game area, fire pit, etc. We left and did everything around Hayward, but really could’ve spent a week there enjoying the property. Will look for the property again on our next visit.

Hilltop Hideaway

Very clean, very attractively and recently renovated and decorated, very well-stocked with anything I needed. My primary purpose in staying here was that I have family nearby, but beyond that, it is in a beautiful forested area with lovely lakes all around. The rec room is great for kids--older "kids", too! Hayward is a fun little town with all kinds of shopping opportunities and restaurants. All kinds of water sports are literally just a very short walk from the cabin. It's a great place!! I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Cozy clean cabin on quiet drive

The cabin was exactly what we were looking for to stay for the holiday weekend. Our boys loved the kayaks, lake for swimming, and especially the detached rec room for late nights. We used the black stone grill for meals, the campfire pit was perfect for cooler nights, and the modern amenities were ideal. Awesome little cabin with private lot on quiet wooded road. Very clean cabin! We visited the Apostle Islands, toured downtown Hayward, and shopped for gifts. I definitely recommend this booking and the hosts were wonderful in communicating with us. We will book again!
