Rustic Hayward Cabin With Spider Lake Access!

Reviews

• Renters Beware

  1/5

  Inaccurate description of cabin and property. The pictures do not reflect the condition of the cabin. The screen door is ready to fall off and there is lack of light outside the door that is an accident waiting to happen at night. It is not located on the water nor is there access to the water. Cabin is uninsulated and cold air comes in through cracks in the wood, which are visible. There are dead bugs, cobwebs and droppings everywhere! The furnace is broken. No heat except one plug-in radiator for the entire cabin, which left the cabin freezing! You only have 90 seconds of hot water in a shower that is dirty with a disgusting rust stained and broken shower head that sprays more water outside the shower than it does in it. Extra fees are charged at the end for services that are clearly not being rendered. After speaking to neighbors I was informed I was not the first renter who raised these concerns about the cabin. Please look elsewhere before renting this cabin. The only good things about the cabin are that the area was nice and quiet with respectful renters and owners and the fridge was larger than expected given the size of the cabin.

  Hi Sam, we want guests to find the perfect vacation rental for their stay so we take the accuracy of our properties seriously! Since this is a three seasons cabin without a furnace installed, we don't market heat as an amenity in the listing - however, we do want to let you know that your stay was the last one until the temperatures warm back up. We've passed your feedback to the owners who would like to share the following:
  -We've been experiencing difficulties finding a contractor who will replace the screen door but will double down on our efforts based on your feedback
  -While the lighting has not been brought to our attention in the past, we will be looking into this going forward
  -The shower head has been replaced
  -Our home does have access to the lake, and we wish you would have reached out during your stay so we could confirm that
  -While this cabin is in the woods, bugs can be prevalent in the area and occasionally enter if the doors are left open.
  -We have a professional cleaning crew clean between each guest's stay and have shared your feedback with them
  Thanks for letting us know about your stay. We’d love the chance to provide you with a truly 5-star travel experience, so please let us know if there’s anything we can do to help the next time that you book a vacation rental!

  I stayed up here for my 22’ bear season. This cabin was perfect for my extended weekend. Well shaded, windows open, and life is good.

• Wee Too experience

  1/5

  Our stay at the Wee Too cabin, on Spider Lake, was extremely unpleasant! We were so looking forward to a relaxing visit at this small rustic cabin enabling us to visit friends & relatives in the area. Unfortunately, the cabin was unclean & smelled of a foul stench!!!

  Hi Beth, we take guest feedback seriously and passed your comments on to the homeowner who would like to share the following:
  -This is our first complaint regarding the cabin's cleanliness. We collaborated with our cleaning partner, and they report they cleaned the cabin as they always do.
  -The smell could be the well water, but our cleaning partner reports the smell wasn't any different than normal. We also had friends stay at the cabin after you and they didn't report any concerns.
  -We communicated with you after your stay about your concerns and appreciate your feedback.

  Hi Agnieszka, thank you for your review and we shared it with the homeowner. They'd like to say they know the property isn't large, but the listing accurately displays the property so guests know what to expect in regards to size, bedroom configuration, etc. Thank you for taking the time to write your review.

• Relaxing getaway at a modest but cozy cabin

  5/5

  This cabin was perfect for our weekend getaway. There were 3 of us, and the amount of space was just enough. It may be somewhat tight with 4 people but is definitely doable. It is definitely a modest cabin - there is no AC, wifi, service (we have AT&T) - but it is cozy, comfortable, and had everything we needed! We would definitely stay again. The location is perfect for hiking, biking, and relaxing in the Northwoods. We brought our canoe and spent some time on Spider Lake as well, which was great. There is swimming access from the resort the cabin is location on, although the water is mucky. We loved our time at this cabin and would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for a relaxing, cozy, and modest place to stay near Hayward.
