About this property

Rare Find! Huge Beach & Luxe Woodsy Cabin

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.)

We’re happy to answer your questions and wish you happy travels!!

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!

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

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!

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'!
