We had a wonderful week at this beautiful home! We have additional family on this lake, so it was awesome to find a home to rent on the same lake, that would accommodate us. It was a bit of a family reunion, and over the week we ranged in age from 3-78! The house accommodated us all! Nestled on a beautiful lot, the home is right on the water. The large kitchen and great deck allowed us to grill and enjoy meals together. We enjoyed the spacious lawn, playing outdoor games, watching the Olympics, playing many card games, and just being together in a very comfortable atmosphere. Our kids and grandkids love to waterski, wakeboard, tube, swim, etc., so a big portion of our week was spent on the water. Some also fished and enjoyed some success with that! :) We mostly ate at the house, but enjoyed the "real bakery" in town for some morning treats, and the trip down Main Street was a fun one. The coffee shop and grocery options are quite good. We had a couple of issues throughout our stay and the host was responsive in getting those sorted out. The outdoor gazebo was a wonderful spot to enjoy the outdoors and avoid the bugs! lol There are several beautiful arrangements and art pieces in the home, some of which we gently put in a closet for the week so that they were not a temptation to the little ones! We would definitely come back if the opportunity arises!

Very comfortable property. Plenty of room for 10 people of all ages. Bring your own "stuff" to play with, as this property requires it.

This is the second time we have stayed in this home.
What a great setting!
Easy access to the lake with a boat dock. Great place for fishing or kayaking.
The owner is very friendly and addressed any need we had in a timely manner.
Thanks again for a lovely place to spend with family!

One of the best locations on Nelson Lake. Beautiful house and enjoyed the screened gazebo. The lake was clean and nice shallow sandy area for the little one. Nice pier but the water too shallow for us to be able to dock our large boat. Fortunately, the boat launch is nearby. The location is also close to get to the atv trails. Parking good as we had both a boat and atv. The house was supplied with everything that we needed. It was a bit difficult getting in touch with the property manager as we had poor cell reception with our service and she was out of town which she did make us aware of. She was most helpful before our arrival. Upon our arrival there was a musty smell in the house. It aggravated those of us with allergies. After running dehumidifier and air conditioning it cleared up. Would be absolutely perfect if the carpeting would either be replaced or deep cleaned and the mattresses on the main floor in dire need of replacement. Still, we had a wonderful time.

We had a wonderful two week stay. We hosted doctoral students from 4 states the first weekend. Then we had brothers and in-laws for a few days followed by adult grandchildren. Everyone appreciated having a spacious and scenic location to gather.

The house, property, and location on the lake was great. The only downfall was that the house was not cleaned well at all. There were crumbs, hair, and dust throughout the house. We had to spend a few hours of our time to clean ourselves.

Nelson Lake House
We enjoyed staying here. The gazebo was our favorite spot to hang out any time of the day. Very peaceful.
My suggestion for the main level of house is to remove some of the chandeliers and replace with ceiling fans. It was a hot week up there and the AC was running non stop…hard to keep this level cool. Especially at night for sleeping. Ceiling fans would help tremendously to circulate the air. The master bedroom upstairs should have some type of window coverings by bed and sink area. Sun comes up at 5:00am and it’s shining right in the bedroom.
All in all we enjoyed ourselves sooooo much!!!! Wendy S.

Beautiful vacation home.
This vacation home is every bit as beautiful as the pictures. We chose this home for our annual fishing and relaxing trip for three senior couples. We found everything to be very clean and the furnishing to be vey comfortable. The bedrooms were spacious as were the bathrooms. We had lots of room on the decks for our coolers and fishing equiptment.The large gazebo was a great place to at, relax and enjoy the colorful sunsets and scenery. The neighbors and caretaker were all friendly and helpful. The large yard was great for parking our vehicles and trailers. The fishing on Nelson Lake and off of the dock was great. Thank You for a wonderful vacation.

Family get away
Perfect house for a large group that wants to be together but also needs some space. The outdoor dining was phenomenal as well as the layout of the house. Would love to come again and enjoy a fire in the fireplace on crisp fall days

The home provided lots of options for the family for gathering. We loved the gazebo for meals. The little restaurant across the road had good pizza, the owners were fun. We also rented a pontoon went to where the sand bar is and had a nice lunch near there on the water.

Slice of Heaven
We were looking for a quiet spot to have the whole family come stay if even for a couple days. All 3 of my boys and GF’s / one wife all got to enjoy this place during our weeks stay. Amazing location, large fire area, and the GAZEBO! Everyone agreed that this place was AWESOME!

Lake living at it’s finest!
The home and property was everything our family could have asked for. Three generations spent a week enjoying this beautiful home and location on Nelson Lake. Whether you are on the deck, the terrace, in the gazebo, the kitchen, dining room or living room the lake views are spectacular. The home is spacious and had everything we needed to settle in for a relaxing week. The grounds are beautiful and we enjoyed fishing and boating from the pier along with nightly bonfires in the fire pit.

Lake Nelson Hayward
Definitely beautiful spacious property for family gatherings with special decoration touches. The Gazebo is a bonus for an outside gathering area.
Couple of things to note, there is a resort across the street which caught us by surprise to hear out door music in the evening.
Also garbage cans are small and if filled up expectation is to take garbage to the local dump. Be mindful it does costs $6 per container (we had 2)
The dock area is well kept and nice sandy Beach area.

Beautiful house, beautiful property.
We absolutely loved staying at the house. We had little children with us that love splashing in the water by the dock. We could not have asked for more enjoyable stay.

Beautiful Home, Cozy Winter Stay
This is a lovely, spacious and very well-kept home. It's on a point and has half of the tip and nearly all of one side of that point. So the setting is just beautiful. My wife and I stayed of Christmas, so there was no swimming involved! But we had a cozy stay - just a great getaway. And even if you mostly stay inside as we did, you have beautiful views from every room in the house. Highly recommended.

Beautiful place with plenty of room for a bigger family
Great property on a beautiful peninsula. Awesome access to ice fishing and sledding right out the door! Kids loved it!

We stayed at this beautiful lake home for a long weekend in October. It was very quiet and peaceful on the lake. We enjoyed walks up the road and throwing rocks along the shore. We played catch in the huge yard and had a fire in the fire pit. It turned into a snowy weekend(!) so we only had one outdoor fire and enjoyed playing games indoors next to the indoor fireplace!This kitchen is well stocked with forks for roasting marshmallows, crockpot (which we used), tupperware, plenty of pans, dishes, and silverware for a crowd. There are also a couple puzzles and games. The kids were a little disappointed that the gazebo furniture was covered up for winter but it's totally understandable for the time of year--not like we could have enjoyed it on that frigid weekend! It would be a fantastic, screened-in space to hangout in nicer weather!There is tons of space inside and out and had everything we could need!

Escape to the North Woods
Beautiful, spacious, home with plenty of room to have family meals out in the gazebo and s’mores by the fire pit. All made better by a spectacular Fall on the secluded point. Highly recommend!

Amazing home amid gorgeous Fall colors
This home is so beautiful and spacious, just as pictured in the photos. The beds were comfortable and the fire pit by the lake was a wonderful place for us all to gather after hiking and mountain biking. The kitchen is very well equipped and we enjoyed a birthday tea party in the gazebo. We hope to return some day!

Bright and cheery
This lovely home was comfortable and roomy for our 3 generation family of 6. The kitchen skylight and vaulted windows made me feel like I was part of the outdoors even when I wasn’t. We didn’t have the greatest weather, but made the best of it - mountain biking, golfing, kayaking, pontooning, hanging out at the fire pit.

Vacation with Friends
Love this cabin, enough space for everyone. The screened-in Gazebo was fantastic for a place to hangout after putting kids to bed.
The lake level lot is also a huge plus, not having a bunch of stairs! The kids loved catching little sunnies off the dock.
The extra fridge is also very helpful for large groups.

Family time!
The space was very accommodating for our family of 7. We loved eating out in the gazebo each evening. We all felt the beds could be updated, and bring your own pillows..
If we would have known the yard was as large As it is, we would have brought yard games. Overall, we really enjoyed our family time together here.

Family vacation was a hit!!
First family vacation in 3 years and it was a great experience. Home was very spacious and accommodating. Plenty of family space combined with alone space. Home/kitchen was well equipped so it made family meals easy to accommodate. Love to fish so access to lake was perfect. We caught a variety of fish everyday. Next time we vacation up north this will be our first choice.

What a cool property!
My family and I really enjoyed this lake hone. Super spacious and functional. Lots of room to spread out which is important if you have a larger group. The yard is also very family friendly as it’s well maintained and mostly level which is great for the kids to play on. Nice strong dock to fish off of or tie a boat to. Really nice fire pit which we really wish we would have used but didn’t. We have rented several cabins over the years and this is one of the nicer ones we’ve stayed at.

Beautiful home on Nelson Lake
This home has it all!! Beautiful views of the water from almost every room. The gazebo is our favorite place to eat and it's screened in, so not too many bugs! Great swimming area, down by the dock. Not too deep, so great for the little ones. Wonderful kitchen for preparing meals, as well as an outdoor gas grill. Another dining area indoors, as well as a hearth area and living room for relaxing in. Great bedrooms; a master and another with its own bath. Close to town, so if you are looking for something to do or need something from the store, it's a very short drive!! Hope to continue renting this beautiful home from Sande for years to come:)

This property is beautiful!!! With everything you need for a great family gathering. The large yard is great. The gazebo was the gathering spot for meals, and many laughs. And the fire pit area is very large with a view of the sun set.

This beautifully decorated lake home is spacious and accommodating both inside and out!
Our three generation family spent a week at Birch Point relaxing and taking advantage of Nelson Lake and this beautiful lake home. It is even more beautiful than the pictures portray and incredibly spacious. All of the bedrooms have custom bedding and drapes which adds to the pampered feeling! There is plenty of yard space for kids to play and for outside games. There is an additional refrigerator on the lower level which was very convenient for extra water and soda. The gazebo is quite large and was our favorite spot to hang out for most of our meals and game playing. We easily arranged for a boat rental and it was delivered to the public boat launch close to this home. Sande - the owner - responded quickly to all of my texts and emails and was very easy to work with. We ate out for supper once at “The Ranch” which is a supper club restaurant in Hayward and had a great meal! The Hayward Family Restaurant is also the place to go for a great breakfast. Our vacation coincided with the local county fair which we took our grandson to for a special treat. Our family stayed busy with the usual skiing, tubing, wake-boarding, fishing, and some very competitive volleyball games! We also brought along a few ATV’s and utilized the numerous trails close to this home. We had a great family vacation and made lots of fun memories! We would definitely recommend this rental to anyone and hope to come back ourselves someday.😊�

Wonderful Family Vacation in a truly beautiful property.
We were a family of 7 from the BOS / ME area, CA, and SE WI. We found the home large, well maintained and perfect for our family. The lower level is almost like a seperate apartment.
It has a wonderful outside gazebo that we used for several meals. It is large & screened in. We used the excellent grill provided for a couple of cook-outs. The outside fire pit is wonderful for family get togethers that included "smores". It has a new, very stable pier that was used for fishing. We rented a canoe, kayak & paddle board, from Jack's that got a lot of use. My son & grandson tried to catch some larger fish for a "fish fry" but only caught smaller "trophies".
Overall we had a excellent stay in a 5 star property that has a lot of room and could have easily handled 10 guests.
We WOULD stay here again.

Spectacular Waterfront & Home Getaway!
Our family LOVED our week at Birch Point on Nelson Lake—THANK YOU for sharing your beautiful, cozy home!
So many special niches— we played games & enjoyed our meals in the chandelier gazebo, quiet breakfast reading on the Adirondack patio overlooking the lake, gourmet grilling & cooking in the lovely marble kitchen, pontoon (we rented from Reveilles nearby) staging on the new dock, fantastic snoozing in the elegant comfy bedrooms plus evening fires on the stone fire pit area to boot! Highly recommend Birch Point!

Wonderful place to stay.
Beautiful home on a nice-sized body of water. Gorgeous water views from living areas. Such a wonderful home. We had a great time with our children and grandchildren. Plenty of room for everyone. Large yard for outdoor games. Nice sandy area for swimming and it stays relatively shallow. A nice living area, if you like to watch tv, another sitting area for reading and relaxing. Lovely dining area which overlooks the backyard and water. Great, functional kitchen. There is a gazebo off the kitchen with a dining table. I think we ate out there just about EVERY night of our stay. It is screened in, so even if those pesky mosquitoes show up, you are pretty protected from them!! Four bathrooms, so there is always one available. Dock is tucked just inside of a bay, so not a lot of fast boat traffic (slow, no wake sign is right in front of the dock!!) yet you can still watch all the watersports going on on the lake during the day. Fishing was pretty good as well. Lots of spots to choose from and a nice boat dock for unloading your boat. This was our first year here and we hope to enjoy this home again next year.

Stunning home and setting!
We rented this home during the Birkebeiner cross country ski race. Although it was the dead of winter and snow piled everywhere, I can only imagine how beautiful this home is in the summer time as when the photos were taken! When renting this home, you'll find that it is eloquently decorated and immaculately kept. They are plenty of spots to hang out by yourself and read a book or gather with friends and family around one of the two fireplaces. If you're considering it for your next vacation, don't hesitate as it's worth it! As a side note, the owner is lovely to deal with!
