Enjoy a memorable escape on the beach AND in the woods at your private luxury cabin on Lake Michigan's beachfront. Feels like the North Woods, but is just 45 min north of Milwaukee.
Unique to the area is this special cabin surrounded by woods with a sandy beach for those who like days on the shore, making fireside memories, stargazing, walks, and fun surrounded by nature's best. Many activity options in the huge, grassy yard (basketball, old-fashioned play equipment, fire pits...)!
How nice is the cabin? Fully remodeled with newer high-quality furniture, beds, appliances, 2 washer/dryers. 3 BRs = 1 Queen, 1 Queen + pullout, 2 twins, plus a den with a pullout. 2 bath. This house is decorated and stocked, based on extensive travel experience, for those who like comfort, luxury, and cleanliness.
What is nearby? The cabin is located down a woodsy lane on a large Lake Michigan sandy beach. Steps from Kohler-Andrae State Park and minutes from Kohler's American Club & Spa, PGA-renowned Whistling Straights golfing, Sheboygan's Blue Harbor WaterPark, and other special small-town nooks, crannies, and watering holes. (Several less-expensive public golf-courses are close by as well.)
What can you do at Nelly's cabin? Spend a day on the beach, makes s’mores by the fire, play cards or yard games, read books, gaze at the stars and the wildlife, walk the shore, take a hike in the State Park. With fire pits and chairs on the beach and in the large yard, and a full size wood burning fireplace inside, you can play or rest with friends, or chill with a book and a glass of wine as you enjoy your time inside or outside on the property's several sitting areas. We provide plenty of outdoor chairs and blankets for your campfires, and some games/outdoor toys. (Public Pickleball and Tennis courts are a just a few minutes away in the town of Oostburg or Sheboygan.)
Nature lover? Nature is the norm as your senses are engaged by colorful leaves, starry skies, crashing waves, chirping birds, prancing deer, squirrels, frogs, turtles, and other wildlife in the woodsy scenery. For those who like to hike or go for a leisurely walk, there are several trails and walking dunes in Kohler Andre State Park a few hundred yards up the beach.
When should I rent? Whether you are planning your visit in the summer, fall, winter, or spring, there is nothing quite like being tucked the woods on a Great Lake with different views and experiences being offered each season. (Many of our visitors choose to re-rent, and summers and fall/winter holidays can fill up months in advance.)

This is a great house right by the beach and Kohler Andrae State Park, but also has a quiet location in the woods. Super clean and well-maintained, host communication was perfect. The basketball court and playground are really nice for kids even when it's not beach season. Hopefully we will be back!
Amazing stay, the cozy cabin located on the beach of Lake Michigan provided a lot of fun!

Perfect Lake Front Cottage
Nelly's Place hadeverything we needed for a nice get a way. The outdoor fire pit was perfect, with the waves of Lake Michigan crashing in the background. Nelly's is the epitomy of cozy. We would definitely visit again. The communication with the owners was top notch making for a seamless stay.
The gorgeous location and serene surroundings of this beautiful cabin transformed our stay into a wonderful time that was altogether mind, body and soul resetting. Thank you!!!

Thank you so much for the lovely review! We’re delighted you enjoyed your stay in our cabin!! :-)
This was one of the best VRBO's we have stayed at on Lake Michigan. Our family has been through a lot recently and this was just the break we needed. We LOVED the check out process, very little to do. Great communication with the owners and just a beautiful property!
My family and I had a wonderful time! We traveled with three small children (all four and under), and the house worked perfectly; plus, there was tons of space for the kids to play in the yard!
Property was as advertised. Great place to relax and unwind. We had a lovely stay and hope to return!

Magical Lake Michigan Cabin
This was our second stay at Nelly’s Cabin and we just adore it! The setting is unreal. You feel like you are at a quiet cabin in the woods and then you walk down a short path and you’re at a pristine Lake Michigan beach. It is such a unique property. The cabin itself is extremely clean and comfortable. We would definitely go back again!

Thank you so much for such a raving review. Love our repeat guests. :-)
Had an unforgettable stay. This place is a great little getaway nestled in the woods. The private beach was excellent and the location was great to hit all the little towns that surround Oostburg.
Nelly’s cabin is the ideal place to kick back, relax and enjoy all that the property has to offer.Communication with the host was always prompt and accommodating. Will definitely be back to enjoy the summer weather.

Thank you for the great review Rick! So glad you enjoyed your time here.
It’s a perfect place away from hustle and bustle yet just a short drive to shops and restaurants in nearby towns. Going to bed with a full moon over the lake, then watching the sunrise the next morning. We enjoyed everything this home had to offer.We’ve stayed at many VRBO’s across the country and have never had such great communication from the host, checking to see when we’d arrive, then again during our stay seeing if we needed anything, and finally on check out day. A big thank you!!Thank you, Greg M

Thank you for such a wonderful review Gregory! So happy hearing how much you all enjoyed the stay. Definitely come back and see us again! :-)
Great cozy cabin in the winter. Fireplace, Christmas tree and cozy interior all makes the place welcoming. Location is isolated yet close enough to everything for our tastes.
Nelly’s cabin was absolutely perfect for our annual summer getaway with our neighbors! We all loved the serene forest setting and quiet beach. The house was stocked with everything we needed and was completely spotless! Would love to visit again!
Nellys cabin is in the best location for Long Beach walks - just south of Kohler Andre State Park.
The cabin is rustic, comfy and charming. The property is large with many outdoor amenities to enjoy.
Very enjoyable for the family! It’s rustic and steps away from the beach. The perfect balance of beach and backwoods without the noise of tourist destination. We will be back.
Exceptionally clean linens and cabin! Beautiful wooded yard and amazing beach! Will be returning in the Fall!

About the host

Why they chose this property
The woods and the feeling of 'glam'-ping! We have two lake homes in Oostburg, and this one takes people's breath away as it is truly "special" and different than other properties in the area.
It provides a rare escape because you're tucked back a little from the water's edge and are surrounded 360-degrees by nature, with the home and property uniquely offering a feeling of the far north woods with the rustic charm of a cabin. Even better is that it is also remodeled and decorated with quality furnishings, so even finicky travelers feel clean and comfortable in luxury-type of comfort.
Renting homes can be stressful, as it's hard to be sure if your choice will be good enough for everyone in your group. This property does not disappoint, and is often re-booked by travelers wanting to come back to their awesome 'find'!
