Property was wonderful. I feel it wasn’t cleaned before we got there . Bathrooms dirty and kitchen and refrigerator needed cleaning . Refrigerator in basement needed defrosting to work properly. Pier was nice and house was spacious . Overall a very nice stay

This property is a great secluded location in northern Wisconsin. My family had a great time enjoying the lake with floaties tied to the dock. The firepit is awesome! It was nice to have upper level and lower level living so people could spread out and have privacy. The owners are very quick to respond to questions or concerns. Highly recommend!

We booked this for our family vacation. The home was perfect for 6 adults. It is located on Nelson Lake, which had some fun places to boat to and not far from town. Beth was responsive and provided lots of information about different restaurants in the area. The kitchen was well stocked and they had a gas grill as well as a flattop grill. The fire pit area Is great for evening bonfires. There was also a propane fire pit but the propane tank was empty. The place is clean and had an up north vibe. There are a few minor things that need to be addressed (i.e. cracked toilet seat, outlets not working and burnt out bulbs) but it definitely would not prevent me from renting again. The walk down to the lake has lots of stairs so we definitely got our daily flights in. Some may have issues since there is no railing to hang onto.

The house was perfect for our needs. The outside area did not work so well with young kids (my granddaughter, 8 years old, did catch a nice bass off of the dock, however). The slope is very steep in the front with many steps, although there are paths that can be used. Location to Hayward is great. Overall it met our needs.

This home was beautiful and absolutely perfect for our large group! The owner was very nice and easy to get ahold of about anything (questioned trash day). The only negative was the pictures of the outside are out dated. The porch we thought we were going to have is no longer there. The way to the lake is also very steep and some of our family is older and had trouble getting down (the children loved it 🙈😂)

Loved the property and the lake. Everything was very clean, plenty of room for the 9 of us. We rented a pontoon, kayak and a paddle board near by for the week. We caught fish and swam, Hayward is close by with nice restaurants, shopping. Had a wonderful week.

Hosts were helpful in every way. Nice home in a pretty spot. Close to neighbors and lake. Great place for larger groups. Near trails and gas. Hosts plowed out a spot for our large snowmobile trailers across the street, but proved difficult to get our items to the house and park snowmobiles on property. lake access by snowmobile was near impossible from the property.

Excellent cabin on Lake Nelson! Nice dock, great firepit, 2 big fridges, sleeps 12. Great for a family get-together which is what we did. It has an entirely knotty-pine interior, which is great for an Up North place although I wouldn't want it in my primary home. The deck and outdoor stairs were a bit old, but the owner assures me that they're scheduled for replacement before anyone else rents the place, so this should not apply to you, the reader. :-)

Had a blast staying here! Lake views were spectacular! Very quiet and cozy. The lake was perfect for tubing and water skiiing. Not very crowded. Would stay here again!

Our group consisted of six adults and five children ages 1-10. The sleeping accommodations were fine, though one adult found one of the lower level mattresses to be uncomfortable. The new dock is great. The water level inside the L of the dock is not very deep. We rented a 25 foot pontoon and were able to secure it to the outside of the L portion of the dock, with the owner's boat lift and boat in place. We enjoyed meals outside, the firepit and the supplied wood, and the call of the loons. We had a few meals of fish--sunfish and bass. We recommend Angler's bar and grill in Hayward; the Nelson Lake Landing; and Coops Pizza. We will not go back to TNT's sports bar and grill--waiter was great, prices were reasonable, but the food was of poor quality and taste. With everything we packed for our party, it was a bit of a workout getting everything from the garage to the house. There is some elevation/steps from the deck/house to the dock. The water is clear, with a sandy bottom. Kids swam at the dock and from the pontoon out on the lake. We will strongly consider returning next year.

Location worked well. Isolated for our family fun stuff, yet close enough to town to be convenient. 1 more shower would have helped. Kitchen is small but works. Supplies were more than expected.

Great location on the lake and a beautiful home and property. Neighbors were very nice. Beth was so easy to get a hold of when we had a question and had a very quick response. Well equipped kitchen and was a great size for our group. We brought 4 couples and a couple families had kids - it was perfect size to get away and have some privacy or quiet - but also large enough spaces for us to all hang out.

Great Week

Beth was a pleasure to communicate with. She was very timely with all of her responses. She went out of her way to accommodate our needs including supplying extra extension chords to provide power to charge my fishing boat batteries daily. The docking area for boats includes a new aluminum pier set up with bumper guards and tie down cleats. The cottage was as described. My wife, our two adult children and their spouses all had plenty of space to enjoy our group time together and private time when we wished. The interior of the cabin is knotty pine and was attractively decorated. The seating areas were large enough to comfortably seat six adults. We had plenty of room to dine together as well. The on demand water heater proved efficient and handled our needs well. It was in the mid 80's all week and the central air kept us all comfortable day and night. We enjoyed dining on the outdoor deck which was strung with lights and a cute Tikki Bar. The new outdoor firepit midway between the cottage and the lake was a hit for evening smore's. Plenty of free firewood was available. If you are a fisherman crappie, panfish, and perch are easily caught near the woody shoreline areas. We did catch a few walleye as well. Thanks Beth for providing your place for our families vacation week. Beautiful lake, very nice cottage.

The property was lovely and our stay was grand. Not alot of fish but we sure tried to catch a big one. My son proposed to his girlfriend mid week on the pontoon at sunset. Thank you for sharing your home with us Beth.

Wonderful Stay at Nelson Lake, Hayward, WI

Wonderful Stay at Nelson Lake, Hayward, WI

The house and cabin were fantastic for summer family time! Having 2 1/2 bathrooms was really handy. We wish the gas grill was working and that the deck was in better repair for safety of toddlers. Everything was clean and we had all of the supplies we needed. In mid-August, the shore was not suitable for swimming due to weeds, etc. We were happy to find a nice little beach area on an island. The dock was great for our rented pontoon and viewing sunsets. Everyone had a great time!

Great family getaway on Nelson Lake

Great family getaway on Nelson Lake

The cabin was very nice & the layout was perfect for 9 of us to spread out. Nice yard area to toss football, sit by firepit & fish off dock. The daily climb up incline kept us in shape! The flat top grill off kitchen was perfect for big meals. Husband says regular grill is not useable. Nice deck area to enjoy but I would definitely do some repairs, repainting & landscape clean up. The dock was perfect to pull in rented pontoon. The lake is very large so we always had room to swim, fish & tube. Watching nearby eagles & listening to the loons was wonderful. Close enough drive to town for a day at shops, ice & groceries at Walmart. We would definitely go back!😊

Beautiful cabin, and the view was amazing! Enjoyed the layout and the refrigerator on both floors. Great fire pit and wood provided! There were 2 places to tie up a boat with a public launch close by and a space for a trailer. It was nice having Hayward so close by. The owners are great to work with; we appreciated the binder that suggested places to try in the area!
