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.

Great family getaway

Great stay! We appreciated that they had everything we needed from a muffin pan/crockpot to a scissors and pencil sharpener. Plenty of space! I was worried from the photos that the living area would feel small - it did not. There was plenty of space. We had a group of 6 (sometimes 7). Communication with the hosts was easy. Having 2 bathrooms was nice. The lake is more of a fishing/pontoon lake than a waterskiing lake, but has a lot of places to explore and is very clear! The dumpster for garbage is nice, but note that there is only one small recycling bin for the whole association so save room to haul your recycling home. We enjoyed our stay and would stay here again!

Blue Haven is awesome

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.

Home is in nice location. We enjoyed the lake, neighborhood was quiet and Hayward is a quick 10 min drive for your in-town needs. The stand alone queen beds are on metal cots and headboards are not attached. It's not often that I leave a vacation rental feeling worse physically than when I arrived due to the beds.It didn't appear that there was recycling. We might have missed this, but if not, this is unforgivable in the hospitality industry in these times. The kitchen had plenty of supplies for for cooking and baking. Be sure to bring all of your own food/essentials as there are a few items but they seem to be things that were left by other guests rather than intentionally supplied. The best thing about this place is the location and access to the lake. It's unfortunate that the view is obstructed by their own shed, kayaks (for guest use, which was very nice) and two large boats. With all of the signage inside the house, 9am check out and house rules, you can't help but wonder if the owners are expecting guests to take better care of the place than they do. With plenty of lakes and lake homes for rent in Wisconsin, we would not rent this place again.

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.

This property is very clean. We were amazed at all the "little things" we found...fans, hand soap, great linens, lots of games, lots of kitchen utensils....I could go on & on. The view is fabulous. We enjoyed sitting on the deck for our morning coffee. We highly recommend this property.

About the host

Hosted by Mary & Brandon Bergeron

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.
