Close to trails, Great views, COZY Cabin, close to the water, has neighbors

Open Floor Plan - Sleeps Up To 9 - 2700 acre lake! Enjoy a lot of recreation, fall colors, snowmobiling, ATV, fishing, cross country skiing, mountain biking, ice fishing, and much more.

Come and relax and have some fun in our custom-built, beautiful log-accented cabin on the shores of Nelson Lake in Hayward, Wisconsin. Just 8 minutes from town, this retreat has everything you need to feed your senses! Gorgeous log and knotty pine interior, large and spacious rooms to sleep one - ten people, grand open concept with a magnificent vault! The kitchen is stocked with everything you need in dinnerware, glasses, coffee cups, utensils, bakeware, serving dishes, and so much more.

Come and sleep in one of our many log beds from twins to a King bed in the master bedroom! Brand new linens, pillows and comforters as well as all new bath towels are there for you to use! Why should you have to do anything when you're on vacation, but simply show up and begin having fun!

We have games, cards, puzzles, books, coloring books, and magazines here to help make your time here even more enjoyable. We have a DVD player and a library of movies to choose from. Free WIFI, Apple TV, smart tv with Netflix and many other channels and programs too. Want to have some time to bake?? This is a great getaway for that as the kitchen is huge and allows for many people to be in there at one time. The dining room table opens up to five feet by five feet and holds tons of food and/or treats! We've seen it happen so many times! It's a great gathering place for friends and family to come!

The snowmobiling and 4-wheeling trails are literally RIGHT OUT THE FRONT DOOR! You can head in numerous directions and play in the thousands of acres of forest and trail systems for days on end. All with great stopping points for food, drink, conversation and more! Do you like to fish?? Nelson Lake boasts 2716 acres, right here in Sawyer County. It's a wonderful fishing lake any time of the year. "Outstanding Bluegill and Bass action. Weeds, bogs, cribs and river channels offer countless angling opportunities including Crappie and Northern Pike," according to The DNR will tell you that Panfish and Largemouth Bass are common"

Great property for a weekend getaway with friends. Our intent was to just hang out, play games, etc. The kitchen was nicely stocked for our chili cook off. We enjoyed the view of the lake, fireplace, and watching our Packers beat the Cowboys on the massive TV. The host was very responsive to questions. Highly recommend.

The cabin was beautiful, so well decorated and well stocked. Large deck looking out on the water. Beds are comfortable. Great location to meet a large variety of interests in activities. The place is located in a resort so be prepared to have multiple neighbors. On a beautiful lake and found it to be a quiet, scenic location overall. I would come back again.

Days of leisure and fishing
We arrived to find a beautiful cabin that was meticulously clean and had a great view of the lake. It was nice to find quality dishes and cookware, comfy beds and linens. We had no problems, but Kevin was always available to answer questions. My only suggestion is that the pontoon's upholstery be replaced. We highly recommend this property and hope to return next summer. Thank you for the use of your wonderful cabin, Kevin. Ellen

Beautiful spot for a family vacation
We truly enjoyed our stay at Lake Nelson. The house was beautiful and was stocked with anything and everything that you could possible need. We enjoyed our days at the sunken beach not far from our pier. The kids caught fish after fish. We also enjoyed our time at the three other resorts on the lake that had game rooms and food. The owners were great to work with. The kids and I kayaked daily. Highly recommend this place for your next family vacation.

Great winter getaway
We loved our recent stay at this cabin on Nelson Lake. The open set up with wide counter/bar made prepping meals easy. We loved the cozy feel with the fireplace, living room and kitchen all together. We enjoyed day trips to Porcupine Lake Wilderness, Cable recreational trails, Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest and local recreational trails. Great location for a winter getaway!

Beautiful getaway with all the fixings (even for our pup!)
The cabin itself is gorgeous, all wood and super cozy. Arrived and everything was clean, which was important to us due to COVID. The kitchen is incredibly well stocked with every cooking pot, pan, and accessory you could want! And I mean EVERYTHING. We made every meal here during our week stay and we’re never caught off guard hunting for a spatula or vegetable peeler or anything else. And they even had little poop bags and a headlamp by the door for emergency trips outside with our dog. Morning views of the lake were perfect, and the area is incredibly quiet. Would recommend highly to anyone looking to getaway with their dog for a quiet escape.

The lake home and Nelson Lake were beautiful. Our family made a week of great memories. Fishing, kayaking, pontooning and swimming in the lake. Able to relax by the fire at night, able to bring our dogs. Inside of home was big enough for all 7 of us, loved the central air and big kitchen. We were very pleased. Thank you Jacki and Mike.

Beautiful property. Beds very comfortable. Owners thought of everything you might need or use. All items excellent quality. Nice to have a large yard for playing games and our grand dog to explore.

Hayward vacation
Hello, We enjoyed our stay but have a few recommendations: We rented pontoon and had to call to find out where it was, the door wasn't working properly and said it would be full of gas and we just had to fill again when done. It was half full so only filled back to half full. Finding the pontoon was a hunt but found it. Cleaning of cabin. When we moved in there were empty and partially filled Mountain Dew bottles under the bed along with solo cups, a hat and slippers. Would have liked to have access to a vacuum or broom even to sweep up. No laundry was a slight problem but went to town to do laundry. Just helpful to have it onsite is all. Bathroom - Very rusty water and had a very heavy iron smell to it. Chairs - Told at last minute to bring our own chairs for the deck. No anchor for the pontoon - had to reach out to owner to find one. Overall, thank you. It was a beautiful location, weather was great. We had a good time. Above is something that can be addressed for future renters.
