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.

Comfortable place; excellent hosts

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.

Great Stay

We loved our stay in Sawyer County. The house was in a private setting - just outside of Hayward. Very clean and comfortable. We came up to go riding our ATVs. It worked out great to ride from the house every day.

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.

Nature Retreat

My family and I were impressed with the property of this house. It was close enough to Hayward, but far enough away to feel like we were in the middle of a forest. We all wanted to take the house with us when we went back home. It had the perfect layout, more than enough beds, and 2 bathrooms! And we so appreciated the S'mores welcome basket, yum! We will be staying here again in the future!!

Nice location, very comfortable accommodations

We stayed here with another couple for 3 nights to do some UTV trail riding. We really enjoyed the backyard firepit in the evening after riding. We found the beds to be very comfortable, and loved that there were two bathrooms, each with a shower. The kitchen had everything we need to cook our breakfasts each morning. The home was pleasantly decorated, had comfortable furniture to lounge indoors and was very clean. We appreciated that Jordan came by before we left on our last day to meet us and ask about our stay. We had a wonderful time!

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!

The Perfect Little House

We normally stay elsewhere when we visit Hayward, but after missing out on our usual spot we snagged this gem. Everything was PERFECT. Comfortable beds, plenty of space, and the most “homey” feel. One of our best VRBO experiences yet!
