The photos don't do this cabin justice! Everything was better than expected. Beds were comfortable, however the kids would have preferred bunks (4 girls, 2 per room). Plenty of space for everyone to spread out. The kitchen was well stocked, including a crockpot, high end blender, roasting pan, etc. Nice gas grill as well. Per other reviews, the iron is very noticeable in the water, however they did provide drinking water and the smell was not as bad as you would expect. As for outside, we enjoyed the use of the kayaks, put a few of our own hammocks up in the trees and spent as much time as possible relaxing. The lake was too weedy for our kids near the shore/dock, but we brought our own boat and rented a pontoon from a nearby resort so we spent every day cruising the expansive lake and beaching on Big Island for swimming fun. We loved how close we were to town, trails for our ATV (plenty of parking for trailers) and how close we were to resorts for a quick stop via water or ATV. Amy was easy to work with, great at communication, and very welcoming. We loved our stay and would book again!

We were there 3 years ago it looked the same. Had a Kerig now that was nice . didn’t have any issues
My sisters rented a few doors down an aunt and sister in law rented a couple of miles away. It worked out well. Use to be a restaurant/bar at the end that was nice but was changed to a private resort ( we knew that ahead of time) missed that.
Added a dog at the last minute but was not a problem! Overall it was a good time

Property was set up very nicely. Beds were very comfortable. Lacked hand towels in bathrooms. No outside garbage cans. In a week you acquire a fair amount of trash. Saw neighbor and offered to pay him to allow us to add to his trash cans since we were uncomfortable leaving it on the porch as suggested. The bedroom carpets all had significant amount of pet stains on them. The oven and stove could use a good cleaning as well.
Be aware that the water is maybe safe to drink but I wouldn’t. It was quite brown. Be sure to bring drinking water with you.
The location was fabulous. The pier was nice as well

The location was beautiful but the house was not real clean.

This was as advertised. A peaceful and very nice lake home. We loved the location and enjoyed what both the lake and Hayward had to offer. So many positives with this vacation spot. What would even make it better is the addition of a washer/dryer and water softener with iron filter. Thank you for having us.

We had a great time! Close to many small towns for shopping, great fishing, boating, kayaking, nice places to eat at, lots of wildlife and beautiful views. Make sure to bring bottled water high iron in the water, bring extra bath towels, washcloths and hand towels (not enough),and hand soap for kitchen. Overall great place and we would stay again.

This is the 3rd time our family has stayed at this property, it’s a great place and we’ll surely rent again. The large television in the lower level family room is awesome for family movie night and the high speed internet ensured our 3 teenagers weren’t deprived of social media (insert sarcasm).
For newcomers to the property: the tap water is moderately rusty (from sediment, minerals) so we always bring a large quantity of bottled water with to drink, brush our teeth, to cook, etc.
The view/easy access to Nelson Lake, along with the spacious back yard and large fire pit, make this property second to none. Lastly, bring a fair amount of bug spray, as the mosquitoes are ferocious at dusk.

Great Vacation Home
This was ag great home for a vacation. Very clean and well laid out for multiple families to stay. Plenty of room upstairs and downstairs. Great views of the lake and not a bad decent to the lake and dock. Multiple things to do at the home, firepit, kayaks, games, grill and TV. Highly recommend this VRBO.

The location is excellent--the lake views and easy access are great. The cabin's lower level has a gas fireplace making for cozy evenings. It's an easy 10-minute drive into Hayward. Bring drinking water, the cabin's water has a lot of iron.

Beautiful cabin with everything you need to have a great time! Water tastes like iron so you may want to bring drinking water. It was amazing thank you

Nice family cabin
This cabin is on a large, flowage lake. We rented a pontoon, which our family really enjoys, so we could easily take in the entire lake! The kayaks were a plus! There’s only one really nice swimming hole on the lake, so if you have little kids who like to play on a beach, a pontoon is a must to get there! The cabin was clean and fairly well supplied with most necessities. We appreciated having two refrigerators for our extended family of eight! Amy was a very cordial host, responding to our communications quickly and helpfully. And Hayward is very close by, so running for extra groceries was easy!

Golf trip 4 adults
Property was very nice. Just as the pics showed. Bedrooms were comfortable and well appointed. Rest of the house was roomy and upscale.
This was mainly a golf trip but tried some fishing from the dock and was pleased to catch a batch of crappies.
My group would stay here again.

We had a minor hiccup at the beginning buy Amy took care of it immediately! The location is great! The kids, adults and dogs loved it! The house was clean and provided ample amount of dishes, silverware, cooking utensils, pans, etc. for our group. The way the house is laid out is great for two families to spread out! The beds were comfortable. The view was the best part! Big windows with lake views from all front windows. Internet was fast and since it rained a couple of days we used it alot! We will definitely stay again!

Excellent Birkie Location!
We had a great time at Amy’s cabin! It had everything we needed and was exactly as pictured. The location was perfect as it is only 5-ish miles from Hayward’s downtown area. It’s an excellent place for a family fun trip to the Northwoods.
