About this property

Close to trails, COZY Cabin, close to the water, fireplace, Fall colors

Open Floor Plan - Sleeps Up To 9 - 2700 acre lake! Enjoy a lot of recreation, fall colors, snowmobiling, ATV, fishing, cross country skiing, mountain biking, ice fishing, and much more.

Come and relax and have some fun in our custom-built, beautiful log-accented cabin on the shores of Nelson Lake in Hayward, Wisconsin. Just 8 minutes from town, this retreat has everything you need to feed your senses! Gorgeous log and knotty pine interior, large and spacious rooms to sleep one - ten people, grand open concept with a magnificent vault! The kitchen is stocked with everything you need in dinnerware, glasses, coffee cups, utensils, bakeware, serving dishes, and so much more.

Come and sleep in one of our many log beds from twins to a King bed in the master bedroom! Brand new linens, pillows and comforters as well as all new bath towels are there for you to use! Why should you have to do anything when you're on vacation, but simply show up and begin having fun!

We have games, cards, puzzles, books, coloring books, and magazines here to help make your time here even more enjoyable. We have a DVD player and a library of movies to choose from. Free WIFI, Apple TV, smart tv with Netflix and many other channels and programs too. Want to have some time to bake?? This is a great getaway for that as the kitchen is huge and allows for many people to be in there at one time. The dining room table opens up to five feet by five feet and holds tons of food and/or treats! We've seen it happen so many times! It's a great gathering place for friends and family to come!

The snowmobiling and 4-wheeling trails are literally RIGHT OUT THE FRONT DOOR! You can head in numerous directions and play in the thousands of acres of forest and trail systems for days on end. All with great stopping points for food, drink, conversation and more! Do you like to fish?? Nelson Lake boasts 2716 acres, right here in Sawyer County. It's a wonderful fishing lake any time of the year. "Outstanding Bluegill and Bass action. Weeds, bogs, cribs and river channels offer countless angling opportunities including Crappie and Northern Pike," according to The DNR will tell you that Panfish and Largemouth Bass are common"

So glad you chose our lake home to "WORK" from! We think because of the wide-open main level that it makes for a great space to have gatherings of all kinds - work and play alike! Thanks again for being outstanding "vacationers" and treating our home so well! Spring has almost sprung!! Mike and Jackie

Wonderful cabin retreat

Overall very impressed with the cabin, it was very clean and the perfect space for a weekend getaway. The host was amazing and very accommodating. Only downside is the 4th bedroom is only separated by a curtain which is not pictured or in the description of the room.

Skiing in the New Year

We had an active yet relaxing time skiing in the north woods and returning to the cozy yet spacious cabin to cook, laugh and rest. Serene winter get away 20 minutes to OO Birkie chalet! Kids loved the loft, adults had their own space and we all could hang out in the kitchen and great room. Great place!

So glad you had a nice time! The snowfall was beautiful and I can imagine the skiing was amazing! We are happy to hear that the layout of our home worked out so well for you. That is EXACTLY how we have always envisioned the spaces to be utilized. You should come and check us out in the summer too! The beach, fishing, and JUST RELAXING is so awesome from the big deck out front. The grill and yard games will be waiting for you:-) Happy New Year!! Hope to see you all again soon! Mike and Jackie

Cozy cabin!!

We had another great weekend at the cabin. This is our second year staying and everything was as described. Owners were very quick to respond with any communications. We came in the heart of winter and everything was plowed and cleared so access was not an issue. Great place and highly recommend.

Love it

I absolutely love it here. I’ve stayed here with my family before and loved it so much we had to come back. Kevin is great at responding if I had any questions leading up to my trip. It’s perfect because you can walk to the lodge or the landing for appetizers and a soda or even park island for a great fish fry. I will absolutely be back again thanks again !

Perfect for our needs.

This was a perfect location for us and another family. We were in Hayward for the Chequamegon mountain bike race and the accommodations were ideal for the race location. The sleeping arrangements were also perfect for 2 families. It was very clean, homey and welcoming. Communication with the owner was timely and easy. We all enjoyed the games and puzzles they had on hand!

Girls Getaway

Great property for a weekend getaway with friends. Our intent was to just hang out, play games, etc. The kitchen was nicely stocked for our chili cook off. We enjoyed the view of the lake, fireplace, and watching our Packers beat the Cowboys on the massive TV. The host was very responsive to questions. Highly recommend.

Days of leisure and fishing

We arrived to find a beautiful cabin that was meticulously clean and had a great view of the lake. It was nice to find quality dishes and cookware, comfy beds and linens. We had no problems, but Kevin was always available to answer questions. My only suggestion is that the pontoon's upholstery be replaced. We highly recommend this property and hope to return next summer. Thank you for the use of your wonderful cabin, Kevin. Ellen

beautiful, spacious, clean, well stocked get away for a ladies trip!

The cabin was beautiful, so well decorated and well stocked. Large deck looking out on the water. Beds are comfortable. Great location to meet a large variety of interests in activities. The place is located in a resort so be prepared to have multiple neighbors. On a beautiful lake and found it to be a quiet, scenic location overall. I would come back again.
