About the host
Hosted by Peggy Strand
We purchased a cabin on Nelson Lake in October of 2014, initially intended for investment property only. Immediately we grew to love the people and area so much that we took it off the rental market to enjoy for ourselves. Recently however we have decided to spent more time at our Florida home therefore renting out our home on Nelson Lake again. Please enjoy the cabin as if it were your own and make some lifelong memories with your family and friends!
