Where you'll be

The 5RK Ranch Lakeside is nestled in the heart of Wisconsin - Hayward WI - in Sawyer County. Less than 3 hours drive from Minneapolis - St. Paul MN, the Hayward area offers crystal-clear lakes perfect for water sports and fishing, along with the stunning Namekagon River, often referred to as Wisconsin’s Moving National Park. With miles of trails for snowmobiling, ATV rides, cross-country skiing, hiking, and both road and off-road biking, this destination is alive with outdoor activities all year long. Golfers will also find a range of unique courses, catering to players of every skill level, leaving lasting memories.

The Hayward area boasts the sprawling 858,400-acre Chequamegon National Forest and the historic fishing waters of the Hayward Lakes Area. Events like North America’s largest Honor the Earth Powwow, the annual Musky Festival, the Chequamegon Mountain Bike Festival, the world-renowned American Birkebeiner cross-country ski race, and the iconic Lumberjack World Championships® make it a year-round hub of excitement and culture.

For those seeking a shopping adventure, Hayward’s vibrant retail scene is sure to please. Explore one-of-a-kind boutiques and specialty stores like Art Beat of Hayward, Hidden Bay Graphics, Outdoor Ventures, Nordic Northwoods, Lynne Marie’s Candies, Lures of the North, New Moon Ski & Bike Shop, and many more. Larger stores like Northern Lakes Cooperative, Marketplace Foods, L&M Fleet Supply, Glik’s, and Walmart Supercenter provide even more variety.

Food lovers won’t want to miss the region’s famous “Friday Night Fish Fry” served at local restaurants each week. For the fishing enthusiast, a visit to the National Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame and Museum is a must, where the towering 143-foot musky stands as a monument to the area’s rich fishing history.

What Our Guests Are Saying

  • The lodge was perfect for a family of 12. The home is spacious, clean & has amazing water views and beach & dock access within steps. Brad is the perfect host. We will definitely be returning next summer.

  • The Lodge at 5k Ranch was a fantastic place for groups to stay. We really enjoyed it and the lake was quiet and clean.

  • Brad was a MOST gracious host, extremely responsive to questions all along the way. Space was GREAT for our group of 12 adults ... perfect sleeping space and great gathering space with wonderful view, right ON the lake. I highly recommend it!!!

  • What a find. Perfect layout for a larger group. Dock+lake are ideal. Quiet lake with lots of wildlife. Fire pit, grill, big windows. It was lovely and I would book again.

  • Great weekend.

  • Really great property with tons of space and awesome location. We loved the old school cabin feel and would rent here again.

  • It is a wonderful location, at the end of the road, with panoramic views of the Lake. We could even cut across the lake to a bar and grill. With all the bedrooms on the same level, it allows for easy access and the plenty of room in the great room for gatherings. The retro decor lends itself to nostalgia for up north lakeside vacations of our childhood.

  • We have enjoyed multiple stays at the amazing 5RK Ranch Lakeside in the past. This wonderful property offers it all. Once you arrive, you will never want to leave.​
