We enjoyed a long weekend at the lil blue cottage. It was indeed little but all we needed for our little get away. It’s very close to the lake. Bring water shoes if getting into the lake. Lots of rocks. We loved kayaking in the nice quiet bay. Close to town too.
We loved our stay in Little Blue Cottage. We came to the lake to relax and the setting was perfect. The cabin is tidy and has everything you need for your stay. It’s ideal for 1-3 people. I think four would feel cramped. Be sure to bring your water shoes if you plan to get in the lake; it’s rocky and there are lots of plants. I would definitely try to rent it again if we come back to Hayward.

Nice little cottage
It was perfect for us. Can't imagine being any closer to the lake. It is literally right out the window. The property is private and nice.

Beautiful and Peaceful
A wonderful stay at the little blue cabin. The cabin had everything we needed for a long weekend in the north woods! Communication was great. Although the weather wasnt cooperative for kayaking we were able to do alittle fishing off the dock and exploring in Hayward. Thank you for sharing this little piece of heaven!
