We enjoyed our stay at the Wolf Den, and it met all of our expectations and needs. Very clean. Ann and Ron were gracious hosts, and were very easy to communicate with. We appreciated use of the garage for our vehicles and bikes. It was a perfect home base for riding in the Chequamegon 40 Mountain Bike Race.

Beautiful place

This property was perfect for our friends motorcycle get away. It was very clean and well stocked with the extras. The electricity went out during a storm and they were on top of notifying the electric company. Also a tree came down in the storm that blocked our driveway and they were quick to come and remove it for us! Would definitely recommend this place as we would come to stay here again!

Hayward’s “Wolf Den” Lodging

We booked our lodging in the Hayward area for a (4) night stay 5/19-5/23 2025. We wanted a place close to the ATV trails that had the amenities we were looking for. We picked the perfect place in booking with the “Wolf Den”. Just a short distance outside of Hayward Wisconsin, the Wolf Den is located in the country on a private road that is quiet & secluded with plenty of room for parking with trailers. The house had plenty of room for (2) couples & could accommodate even more. The first thing we noticed while checking in was it was well appointed and very clean. Out on the deck was a propane grill which we used after a full day of riding the trails. Everything we needed was available to us. During our stay we observed Deer, Turkey’s, and grouse. We had a question on our first day and our host responded immediately. We were extremely happy with our stay here and we are already discussing our next trip. You won’t be disappointed staying at the “Wolf Den”.

A great place to relax and have fun

We loved staying at the Wolf Den! The owners truly thought of everything a group could need for enjoying time together. They furnished the house with puzzles, games, etc., and even included thoughtful little things like water bottles on the nightstands beside each bed. The house is spacious yet cozy at the same time. A wonderful place to stay!!

Great Vacation Home

We had a fantastic stay at The Wolf Den. We appreciated the use of the garage as we have several potentially severe storms roll through during our stay. Ann was nice enough to keep us informed of the incoming weather just in case we weren't aware. The driveway was easy to maneuver and park the boat. The house is incredibly well equipped, unlike some others we have stayed at. The amount of spices and cookware was incredible. The game room in the basement was great and the puzzles and games provided were nice due to the rainy weather we had during our stay. The guys got to go fishing and the ladies had some great "down" time to decompress from several stressful months. Ann was very easy to work with and responded promptly to any questions we had. We plan on returning for our annual fishing trips and hope to bring the Girl's Trip to The Wolf Den in 2025.

The hosts have literally thought of everything!! So accommodating! I get the sense that if I forgot the simplest of things they would have delivered it to me in minutes. Super clean, extremely comfy beds, well stocked kitchen, and lots of space to spread out. The garage was perfect for storing our bikes.
