About this property

Cozy, rustic lake side cabin - Nelson Lake, Hayward, WI.

Welcome to this rustic, cozy cabin on beautiful Nelson Lake where the sunrise greets you in the morning and the sunset peacefully ends your day. It is located on the south shore of the lake with a 100-foot flat frontage making access to the lake incredibly easy.

Nelson Lake offers a variety of activities including fishing, ice fishing, snowmobiling, waterskiing, cross country skiing, snowshoeing or just cruising around the lake in your boat, pontoon, kayak, or paddleboard. The lake has about 3000 acres with 31 miles of shoreline, depths up to 33 feet and several bays that offer great fishing. You’ll likely see bald eagles flying around the lake, catching fish and nesting nearby. Loons are bountiful and you will hear their beautiful calls as you sit on the dock or patio enjoying your morning cup of coffee or in the evening while you sip on your favorite beverage. The lake also has 6 resorts that offer great spots to stop and have a bite to eat or your favorite beverage, some offering gas. There are also 2 public boat launches on the lake.

The cabin offers a great place to come and relax lake front, whether it’s viewing the lake from the 4-season’s porch / dining room, outside patio, firepit, or just sitting on the dock. There is a spot to dock your own boat or perhaps take one of our kayaks out for a spin on the lake. We have 3 bedrooms that accommodate 6 people with 2 new queen beds and 2 twins. In the winter, we have one full bath although there are two showers in it. Towels are available for use. In the summer another full bath is available in the garage. A full-service kitchen is available and an additional, small refrigerator for drinks is located the entry way. There is a laundry room for any necessary wash, however the clothes washer is only available in the summer due to the frozen septic field in the winter. The dryer, however, is available year-round. We have a large 50-inch TV with cable and WIFI available in the house. There is a grill located on the patio for use in the summer. Our two kayaks are normally kept in the garage. Pontoon rental is available nearby at the Nelson Resort.
We are a short, 7-mile drive from downtown Hayward. It is a terrific small town with a variety of restaurants and shops, especially the ice cream and candy stores. The area is a favorite vacation destination for mid-westerners. You can enjoy taking the kids to Wilderness Walk, a unique outside park-like walk to see a variety of animals or take them for a float down the Namekagon River. We have terrific public golf course in Hayward that would challenge any private course. There is the annual Lumberjack World Championships and the Birkebeiner, cross-country ski race that brings people to the area from all over. The winter affords great snowmobiling and cross-country skiing as well as ice fishing on the lake.

Excellent stay

We had a great time here. The view sitting on the dock is wonderful. We even got lucky and caught a walleye off the dock for dinner. The property has everything that you need and the hosts are great to work with. I would definitely stay here again.
