Bonnie, we apologize for your granddaughter’s experience and work very hard to ensure our lot is free from such hazards. We do not allow pets for these types of reasons so it must have been left by a passer by. We’re happy to hear you enjoyed your stay overall and thank you for the review.

Great property with wonderful accommodations. The location is great. The space is comfortable and cozy. The kayaks were so much fun and the kids had an awesome time swimming and making sand castles on the beach. There were tons of mosquitoes so make sure to bring big spray.

Wonderful Stay

We had a great time during our stay. The cabin was beautiful on the inside, so clean, new and fresh.. It has everything you need including awesome views of the lake. Access to the snowmobile trail is right out the door. It was also nice that its a short drive into town. We will definitely come back again in both winter and summer. Thanks again for such a nice place.

We had a great time at Blue Haven! Loved watching the loons everyday. House was very clean and well stocked. Kids enjoyed the kayaks and swim area. Just a note for other boaters, there is no electricity on the dock for boat battery charges. We were able to plug in on the outlet on the deck, but it took 150’ of extension cord.

Lynn, we’re happy that your family had a great time visiting our vacation rental. Our apologies for the disappointment of having to run extension cords to charge your boat. We try to make sure our listing details are as specific as possible and include several photos so renters know exactly what to expect when they arrive. We will look at running power to our dock area in the future. Thank you for the suggestion.

About the host

Hosted by Mary & Brandon Bergeron

Host profile image
Our family fell in love with Nelson Lake years ago and were thrilled when we had the opportunity purchase Blue Haven Hideaway. With three school age boys we do not have the time to enjoy the property as much as we’d like so we decided to share it with our guests. We really enjoy sharing all the things we love about the lake and Hayward with those that stay with us. Blue Haven Hideaway is the perfect mix between the peace of the Northwoods, recreational boating, fishing, trail riding, skiing and enjoying the city of Hayward.

Why they chose this property

Blue Haven Hideaway offers a sandy beach, great swimming, fishing, boating, access to trails, and close proximity to town making it the total package for one family to share or two families to enjoy. We love sharing it with our friends, family and guests!

What makes this property unique

Our property is unique in that it is set up perfectly for two families. Formally a duplex, the cabin was remodeled as a family home with creating priceless family memories in mind. We’ve made very efficient use of the space available within the original footprint prior to the remodel. With a slight grade to the water, it’s perfect for guests of all ages to enjoy.
