Awesome property

We had 11-12 people staying for a week (3 adults and 8-9 kids (ages 7-13)). The property was perfect for us. Plenty of space and rooms/beds; the kitchen was well stocked with all the things you need to feed a family as large as ours; and the outdoor area/dock was great for swimming and fishing, and the fire pit was awesome (it had plenty of covered/dry wood to have a fire for hours and chairs for all guests). The location of the cabin on Nelson Lake was splendid with wonderful views of the lake. We are hoping to book this cabin again.

A delightful getaway in a lovely home

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was a delight to see the leaves changing. Some of us enjoyed evening time on the dock reveling in the tranquil water. Waking up each day to the view of the lake made our time extra special. The kitchen was well-equipped for the meals we cooked in.

Family vacation

This property is a great secluded location in northern Wisconsin. My family had a great time enjoying the lake with floaties tied to the dock. The firepit is awesome! It was nice to have upper level and lower level living so people could spread out and have privacy. The owners are very quick to respond to questions or concerns. Highly recommend!

Fun Family Vacation

We booked this for our family vacation. The home was perfect for 6 adults. It is located on Nelson Lake, which had some fun places to boat to and not far from town. Beth was responsive and provided lots of information about different restaurants in the area. The kitchen was well stocked and they had a gas grill as well as a flattop grill. The fire pit area Is great for evening bonfires. There was also a propane fire pit but the propane tank was empty. The place is clean and had an up north vibe. There are a few minor things that need to be addressed (i.e. cracked toilet seat, outlets not working and burnt out bulbs) but it definitely would not prevent me from renting again. The walk down to the lake has lots of stairs so we definitely got our daily flights in. Some may have issues since there is no railing to hang onto.

Family Reunion

The house was perfect for our needs. The outside area did not work so well with young kids (my granddaughter, 8 years old, did catch a nice bass off of the dock, however). The slope is very steep in the front with many steps, although there are paths that can be used. Location to Hayward is great. Overall it met our needs.

Annual family trip

This home was beautiful and absolutely perfect for our large group! The owner was very nice and easy to get ahold of about anything (questioned trash day). The only negative was the pictures of the outside are out dated. The porch we thought we were going to have is no longer there. The way to the lake is also very steep and some of our family is older and had trouble getting down (the children loved it 🙈😂)

Wonderful stay!

Loved the property and the lake. Everything was very clean, plenty of room for the 9 of us. We rented a pontoon, kayak and a paddle board near by for the week. We caught fish and swam, Hayward is close by with nice restaurants, shopping. Had a wonderful week.

beautiful property

Hosts were helpful in every way. Nice home in a pretty spot. Close to neighbors and lake. Great place for larger groups. Near trails and gas. Hosts plowed out a spot for our large snowmobile trailers across the street, but proved difficult to get our items to the house and park snowmobiles on property. lake access by snowmobile was near impossible from the property.

family time at The Lake

Excellent cabin on Lake Nelson! Nice dock, great firepit, 2 big fridges, sleeps 12. Great for a family get-together which is what we did. It has an entirely knotty-pine interior, which is great for an Up North place although I wouldn't want it in my primary home. The deck and outdoor stairs were a bit old, but the owner assures me that they're scheduled for replacement before anyone else rents the place, so this should not apply to you, the reader. :-)

Annual family get-away!

Our group consisted of six adults and five children ages 1-10. The sleeping accommodations were fine, though one adult found one of the lower level mattresses to be uncomfortable. The new dock is great. The water level inside the L of the dock is not very deep. We rented a 25 foot pontoon and were able to secure it to the outside of the L portion of the dock, with the owner's boat lift and boat in place. We enjoyed meals outside, the firepit and the supplied wood, and the call of the loons. We had a few meals of fish--sunfish and bass. We recommend Angler's bar and grill in Hayward; the Nelson Lake Landing; and Coops Pizza. We will not go back to TNT's sports bar and grill--waiter was great, prices were reasonable, but the food was of poor quality and taste. With everything we packed for our party, it was a bit of a workout getting everything from the garage to the house. There is some elevation/steps from the deck/house to the dock. The water is clear, with a sandy bottom. Kids swam at the dock and from the pontoon out on the lake. We will strongly consider returning next year.

It's good to have the family under one roof.

Location worked well. Isolated for our family fun stuff, yet close enough to town to be convenient. 1 more shower would have helped. Kitchen is small but works. Supplies were more than expected.

Beautiful Location!

Great location on the lake and a beautiful home and property. Neighbors were very nice. Beth was so easy to get a hold of when we had a question and had a very quick response. Well equipped kitchen and was a great size for our group. We brought 4 couples and a couple families had kids - it was perfect size to get away and have some privacy or quiet - but also large enough spaces for us to all hang out.
