We invite you to spend some time at this beautiful cabin we call Robbins Ridge on Nelson Lake just a few miles north of Hayward, WI. This is a new listing that has all the comforts of home and is ready for you and your family to relax, unwind and make memories. The home features 3 bedrooms on the main level and a full bathroom with an additional bedroom downstairs and bathroom as well. The lot has a nice gradual slope to the water so you don't have to haul your gear up or down any stairs to access the dock. The dock has room for your boat and the shoreline is sandy and the water is clear and great for swimming and water sports.
Robins Ridge has a beautiful deck with a gas grill and comfy furniture that offer excellent views of Nelson Lake. Watch eagles soar over the lake while your stakes sizzle on the grill.
Nelson lake covers over 2700 acres and is one of the more popular fishing lakes in the area with an abundances of large pike, bass and walleye as well as panfish for the kids. Much of the shoreline around Nelson lake is undeveloped and full of natural beauty. There are also several resorts and restaurants you can boat to right on the lake. Pontoon & boat rentals are also available right on the lake from several near by resorts.
Kayaks- This home includes the use of two kayaks to explore the lake.
In the winter you can hit nearly 500 miles of connected snowmobile trailers right from this home and nearby are miles of groomed cross country ski trails for you to explore then come back to the house and sit by the cozy wood burning stove for a nightcap and to recount the days activities.

Hi Kate,
Thank you for your review! We're glad to hear you had a beautiful and relaxing time at the cabin. Sorry for the initial confusion about the dock—we’ll make sure the information is clearer for future guests.
We hope to welcome you back for another great stay!
Best regards,

beautiful, relaxing, clean home with awesome lake and sunset views probably have gorgeous sunrise too, but never up that early!definitely wish the dock would have been in though.
The place was such that our entire family, grandparents included, could enjoy each other's company during meals, and leisure. Location was quiet enough to hear birds and squirrels all over the place. Kitchen was well stocked with big pots for spaghetti and the like. We didn't need to being any supplies other than food for our meals. Plenty of plates, mugs, glasses, etc for each day. Very cleanWe'll return in the future.
The cabin was beautiful and very clean. We had one small dog. The neighbors had dogs and they all were very friendly. The kitchen was well equipped and the rooms were all nicely decorated. The beds were comfortable. The lake and the swimming dock were great. We enjoyed using the kayaks. We’d love to return sometime.

We had a great time staying at Robbins Ridge. Was very nice having a washer/dryer and dishwasher! Couple downfalls, water smelled horrible and the dock situation was not ideal for our 2 boats. Neighbors were great and let us use their extra dock! I would highly recommend staying here for a week!

Thank you for your nice review. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed your stay. Unfortunately, the water in the Hayward area can have a lot of iron in it at certain times of the year. We do have it tested each year and it is 100% safe to drink and bathe in.
Beautiful clean cabin on beautiful Nelson Lake.
There was no salt in the water softener so the water had a bad odor. Loved the cabin, it offered everything needed for a up north stay.

10/23 Update - A new whole house filtration and softener system that cleared up the smell
The property was clean, comfortable, and well stocked. Would definitely stay again! My only negative feedback is that the water quality was not great, it has a strong, sulfur smell, and I would not drink it. Bring water for cooking and drinking.

Thanks for the nice review Josh. Good news for future guests, we just installed a new whole house filtration and softner system that cleared up the smell in Oct 23. Hope to host you again soon.
We had a great stay, awesome weather, calm water and very few people on the water and in the neighboring homes. The house was very clean, newly remodeled and functional. The home has a perfect view of the lake from the kitchen, living room and deck. If there were people/families in the homes on either side, the stay would not have been as private or relaxing. We would/will rent again in the future.
The place was as described in listing. Everything was clean and the location on the lake was great. Fishing wasn't that great, but that's the way that goes sometimes! Response from manager was very prompt and helpful. Would recommend. The only thing they said they would change, would be if the house supplied towels. Everyone had to bring their own, including kitchen towels.
Responsive property management company that even assisted us in finding a pontoon for the week! The view of the lake is top notch and the deck is great for relaxing on.
There isn't much yard space in either the front or back. The backyard + dock landing is a bit awkward. Sometimes hard to know if you are in the properties yard or neighbors yard.
You are very close to the neighbors. However one side of the neighbors are really friendly and great people! Overall, a really solid stay!

Hi Dane,
Thank you for your review! We're delighted to hear you had a solid stay and that you enjoyed the beautiful lake views and relaxing on the deck. It’s great to know our team could assist you with finding a pontoon for the week—that's one of the best ways to experience the lake!
We appreciate your feedback about the yard space and the proximity to neighbors. We'll look into how we can better define the property lines to avoid any confusion for future guests. It's nice to hear you had friendly neighbors on one side, though!
We hope to have the pleasure of hosting you again for another lakeside getaway!
Best regards,
Jon B. and the Manage Cabins Crew
The house & Accommodations we’re excellent!!!! Fishing for my granddaughter was great, although the fish where small. My daughters enjoyed an evening fire every night. If your looking to relax and enjoy the view, this is the spot for you.
Beautiful property with access to Nelson Lake. Appreciated the water pitcher with filter in the refrigerator, but there is an overall sulfur smell to the water. An improvement would be a water system for the house. Strong smell when showering, brushing your teeth etc.
