Birkie Trail Cabin

The cabin was quaint. It was very clean. Nice location. Steve answered all my questions promptly. I feel the kitchen could use better quality cooking utensils. Also, have some board games, decks of cards for your quest to use. Luckily we brought our own. We all agreed the beds are very uncomfortable. I get placing a rubber mattress pad on the mattresses, but you hear it with every move. We all didn't sleep well mostly because of the mattresses.

Awesome Place!

We thoroughly enjoyed our two-night stay here. The large home was wonderful, and exactly as the pictures and description indicated. The place worked really well for the three of us, and it was spacious, comfortable, quiet, and clean. Everything we needed during our stay was provided, including a very extensive and useful welcome guide. Communication with Steven was excellent, and check-in/check-out was extremely easy with the key pad. We highly recommend staying here!

ATV Trip with Friends

Great location to go ATVing but with three couples and only one bedroom downstairs and no bathroom upstairs caused a big issue. No air in two of the bedrooms upstairs either.

Family Vaca

My parents and my family got together for an extended weekend in this cabin. Its location is excellent, secluded yet very close to everything. The bugs and weather did not cooperate so we were stuck inside much of the trip. Additional living room seating would have helped but we were hoping to be outside more of the time. Overall, a very nice place.

Up North Getaway

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. The remodel job on this property was impressive. The weather was cool and rainy, but we enjoyed just relaxing in this cozy cabin. The owners made sure we had everything we needed during our stay. I highly recommend this place to anyone that wants to visit Hayward.

Home away from home

Our stay was the best. The house is very clean and nicely organized. Beds are comfortable and lots of room. The paths to the Birkie are a plus and the paths to the piers by the water were two of our daughters favorite spots. We definitely will stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Steven Deckert

Hi, we're Steve and Anna. We love being active and enjoying the outdoors. Northern Wisconsin is our escape to bike, hike, paddle, and cross country ski.

Why they chose this property

We saw the potential in a neglected house and wanted it to be enjoyed again. Renovation was a lot of work but we have a tremendous sense of accomplishment now! Plus Steve wanted a place where he could ride his mountain bike to the camba trails...

What makes this property unique

Where else can you paddle, cross country ski, and mountain bike right on/from the property?!
