About this property

This perfect little cabin is just ten minutes from Hayward, Wisconsin, a very special place “up north”. Sitting right on the shore of Sunset Bay, this small but mighty cabin offers you all the amenities you could need on a vacation full of nature and lake sport fun! We have taken lots of pride to carefully and tastefully renovate virtually the entire cabin. You will find it charming, clean, and ready for you to relax & enjoy!

Nelson Lake is a full recreation lake that offers swimming, kayaking, boating, jet skiing, and some of the best fishing in the region! We have Kayaks available for use and you can rent a pontoon from the neighboring Revelle’s Resort just two minutes away. Play on the lake or go into town to catch a lumberjack show. It’s a quick scenic drive up to Copper Falls State Park where you will experience breathtaking views of the areas largest waterfalls and natural stone canyons. In the mornings, enjoy a cup of coffee on the screened in porch and listen to the loons. Then take a hike or mountain bike ride on one of the endless area trails looking for all types of wild life, berries, and exploring nature in its best form. You will see deer, Fox, birds, maybe a herd of elk, giant snapping turtles and even black bears!

In the winter, enjoy a variety of cold weather sports including ice skating, snowmobiling, ice fishing and cross country ski on the lake or take a 5 minute drive to one of the Birkie trail heads. Hayward is the home of the American Birkebeiner, the largest cross country ski race in North America! No matter what it is you desire, if it has to do with the outdoors, Hayward has it.

Our cabin is fully stocked and adorably decorated. All you need to bring is your own coffee and charcoal if you would like to use the grill. It has a queen sized bedroom, a second bedroom with a twin over full bunk bed and a pull out sleeper with an additional twin bed. We recommend 4 guests for maximum comfort but the cabin will accommodate up to 6 if necessary. We have now added WIFI! We also have a ton of movies available for you to watch so relax, and unplug! The living room TV is a Roku TV and also has Netflix and Hulu available. Most apps and websites will allow you to cast to the TV. In May of 2020 we put an addition onto the bathroom and gutted it for a brand new beautiful and spacious bathroom. We also added laundry, we just ask that you bring your own detergent if you'd like to use the washer/dryer.

We hope you enjoy our cabin!

Beautiful Little Cabin

This is our second stay and there are many reasons why we came back. This is my brother-in-law and my annual Hayward fishing trip. This cabin works great. It has everything you would need for a great trip. They also have a private dock on Nelson Lake and in a little bay so it was calm. It isn’t far to downtown Hayward if you need supplies or want to take in their beautiful downtown area. We will return again.

Great little cabin

Cabin is cozy and clean with most things needed. Larissa was a great host who answered all my questions. I grew up on the old resort the cabin used to be a part of. So many wonderful memories. Bathroom and having a washer and dryer was really nice. You'll enjoy yourself if you stay here. I'll book again

Summer vacation

We had an enjoyable stay. We fell in love with the lake and the fishing was pretty good. A few rainy days allowed us to explore the area and relax in the cabin. I would highly recommend staying here if you are looking for a quiet relaxing place.

Questionable

Had trouble locating cabin, never received checking email,had to contact owner for code and directions, was asked to check in late for cleaner to finish. Since it was very very warm, we spent entire time inside, went to use ceiling fan but one blade was missing so was un usable

Beautiful little cabin

My brother-in-law and I go fishing in Hayward every year. We have never stayed anywhere twice but we plan to stay here again. The cabin was clean and well stocked. We fished an other lake but the dock on Lake Nelson was very nice. The cabin is a little small but you could easily have two adults and two small kids there. The cabin is just like the pictures. We would definitely recommend this cabin.

Cozy updated Northwoods cabin

Super cute, clean, well stocked cabin on a lake. Very well cared for, a true getaway! Kids (and parents) were sad to leave. My only suggestion would be a little info at the cabin about areas of the property that are accessible to the renters, owners very responsive to questions. We are already planning our return visit.

Perfect little getaway!!

The property was perfect! We enjoyed the lake with the owner’s kayaks and we were able to dock our boat just steps away from the cabin. The cabin was very clean and the bathroom/laundry remodel was beautiful. The cabin had everything we needed! Larissa was very easy to communicate with. Thank you for sharing your wonderful property!

Very cozy cottage with very comfortable beds and bedding. Loved the open kitchen to the living area.

We arrived right before a snowstorm and since Larissa lives out of town, she personally contacted me to make sure the heat was working and had someone come out to check on it. She also has taken special care in all the furnishings making it feel like a deluxe northwoods cottage. We would rent this cottage again in the winter to cross country ski.

Beautiful area

Laurissa was excellent to work with. Very responsive with any needs. The cleaning lady didn’t show up and she made it right with us. The beach area isn’t very swim friendly, but the kayaks were wonderful and there was a beautiful swimming area at Eytcheson Park. We rented a pontoon from Revelles and tubed the River from Camp Namekogen. It was a wonderful vacation. Thanks for sharing your cute place with us.

Our cottage couldn't have been better. It was spotless and very comfortable. We enjoying having the Internet and the AC. We used the beautiful fire pit area, sat outside a lot, and just enjoyed our surroundings. Larissa was an absolute joy to communicate with. She was very accommodating and easy to reach. We will definitely be back.

Amazing cabin on the water

Beautiful cabin! This property was worth the 7 hour drive! Our family of four had an amazing week. The queen bed was unbelievably comfortable! The kids shared the second bedroom and enjoyed the bunk beds. The view of the water was so pretty and calming. We used the kayaks often. The fire pit and picnic table were a major bonus! All amenities were provided and the cabin was so clean. The location was also perfect with a short drive into town. We will definitely return to spend another perfect week at this cabin !

Peaceful Lake Nelson Paradise

I can’t say enough good things about our stay. With two small children it was heaven to have the beach and playground right there. If you are looking for peace and tranquility, this is the spot. The property is on a dead end road, so it feels like your own spot. The screen porch was perfect for all weather and we loved having the fire pit. The only thing to be aware of, would’ve if you are looking for a good spot to swim, Nelson Lake isn’t it unless you have a boat or are brave enough to face all the weeds. We loved this little cabin oasis. Our kids didn’t want to leave!

As advertised, very nice and clean

There were a couple of glitches as expected, the biggest one was that our cabin was still being cleaned when we arrived so we couldn't get in for an hour. The others were not a big deal. The queen bed stuck against 3 sides was terrible but comfortable, my wife had to crawl over me in the middle of the night! UGH! Overall nice clean cabin, owner was quick to reply when needed. Thanks for sharing your cabin!

Northern Retreat

Our only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer. Our return to Hayward was greatly complimented by this cozy little cabin. Communication before our trip was great, and we didn’t have any special needs while there. The kitchen is well stocked, and the bathroom is updated and very clean. My son enjoyed the mugs that were waiting for us in the freezer. We enjoyed the fire pit each evening, and we caught enough fish for our dinner the night before our departure. The bedrooms are small, but they accommodated us well. Beds were comfy. Ceiling fans and window units a bonus. The enclosed porch with lights were pretty at night, and everything was decorated with thought. (We were short extra toilet paper, but this was most likely an oversight.) We would definitely enjoy staying with you again! Thank you for sharing your home.

What a gem!

My husband and I stayed here in August 2022. Such a cute cabin on Nelson Lake. Loved the northwoods decor and everything was well appointed inside It is on the small side but the space inside is very well utilized. Makes it feel like it's not really that small. We don't fish but the view of the lake from the property outside and the picture window inside is a real bonus! Having a restaurant/bar on the property is nice too...even though we didn't get too visit it. Had to leave early for personal reasons, but we would definitely recommend the cabin to friends and family and in face we already have. We loved visiting supper clubs and downtown Hayward while there. The beds were comfy. The bathroom was nice, We prefer walk in showers so it was nice that this place had one. BONUS...there's a skylight in the shower!! The only down side for us was the cabins next door were too close to our liking, but as luck would have it no one was in either cabin. We were pretty much the only ones there. It's nice that it's close to Hayward but not too close. Lastly, the cost per night to stay here is so FAIR! We'd like to thank the Codr's for sharing their cabin with us!! Luanne from Madison, Wisconsin

Wasn’t great but would stay again…

I’ve really been waiting to post a review and thinking whether or not I even should…. I want to start off by saying we had fun, the location was good, and we probably would stay again. Now for the actual review… When we first arrived we were given a code for the house and well the battery in the lock died so that didn’t work so we had to call the owner and I was glad they had a physical key. Upon opening the door we noticed a very foul smell…not quite sure what that was we opened the windows because it was decent outside. Later that night we messaged the owner because we thought it was a gas leak (which it ended up being) she messaged back asking if the stove turned on which it did but I sent her a follow up text telling her it was a very potent smell coming from the area around the stove then she NEVER responded. The next day I was still trying to figure the smell out. Not having a gas range at home I got to thinking about it and came to the conclusion that it was the pilot light that was out which now I had to locate on an old range. A literal gas leak and the owner didn’t make any attempt to reach back out to me even suggesting that could be the issue. However after we got that figured out it was a good stay. Cabin is small and the queen bed is pushed right to the wall making it impossible to get up in the middle of the night without having to crawl over your spouse. The kayaks that were available were full of bugs sand and water…
