Hayward Lakefront - Gorgeous Cabin, Four Seasons of Fun for up to 21 guests

Whether you are an adventure-seeker or simply in need of relaxation by the lake, we believe you will find your ideal getaway at Spruce Chalet. Winter, spring, summer, or fall: experience the natural beauty and recreation of Hayward, Wisconsin in a modern, bright, and comfortable space, with breathtaking sunset views. The three bedroom, two bathroom Spruce Chalet sleeps up to 8 guests.

We are also excited to be able to offer a vacation spot for groups of up to 21 total guests, if you book the Spruce Chalet along with our neighboring lakeside cabin, the White Birch Retreat, and its guest cabin (see VRBO listing #851715 for property details). A unique option for gatherings of family and friends for holidays, events, or any time! Our property allows for privacy, but with everyone in close proximity to create lasting memories with your loved ones. With this option, you would be booking three adjacent structures with a total of 7 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.

*PLEASE NOTE we recommend booking early to guarantee availability of both properties for your group! See Rates Section for more specific information on combined rates for groups up to 21 people. We know it can be confusing with so many options, so please contact us to obtain a final quote or to ask any questions you may have. The last two summers have been booked solid, and holiday weekends fill up especially quickly.*

Good little property in a beautiful place
This is a very nice property on Hayward Lake. We used all buildings on the property and they might best be described as quirky. Everything works as it should. The kitchen facilities are very good and the beds are very comfortable. The sliding doors could use some lubrication and the water sports equipment are a bit scattered about the property, but no one would complain about real problems. We would stay there again without a doubt.

Great property for a group
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.

January snowmobile trip
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!

Christmas Snowmobile Trip
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.

Charming Hayward Retreat
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.

Fantastic Stay!
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!!

Good getaway
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.
