About this property
Don’t miss the fall colors and waterfalls along the Black River Scenic Byway
Get ready to explore! Whether you enjoy sledding, skiing, hiking or biking, the Iron Belle trail is just a 1/4 mile up the road. The Porcupine mountains are a 45 min drive for picturesque views. Climb up Copper Peak or check out the numerous waterfalls that are along the 25 min drive up Black River scenic byway to Lake Superior.
After your adventures, enjoy a spacious lower level with a queen bedroom along with 2 bedrooms upstairs. With 4 twin beds & a trundle bed for the kids-there’s room for everyone!
Whether you are a winter warrior or a summer adventurer, Nelson Nest is a great jumping-off point for you!

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Kristy Widmann
I am a full time Mom of 4 and a part time registered nurse. We bought this house for a weekend get away and can't get enough of the Bessemer area! Our family of 6 fits easily into the open concept lower level but we don't spend much time at the house because there is so much to see and do. Our favorite places to visit are Black River Harbor-Lake Superior with stops to see the many falls on the way, Presque Isle River and waterfalls, Copper Peak, and Sunday Lake. We also love tube sledding at Mt. Zion and snowshoeing through the incredible amount of snow that falls here.
Why they chose this property
We bought this home from it's original owner that built it for his family in the 1950's. We have updated it throughout and continue to make improvements as we go.
What makes this property unique
LOCATION is everything! Close to miles of biking, hiking & snowmobile trails. Waterfalls to see and great lakes and waterways for your kayaking/canoeing adventures.
