About this property

Cozy Cabin #5 formally Birch Point Resort. Individually owned cabins.

Adorable cozy little condo cabin at Birch Point Condo Association on Nelson Lake, Hayward, Wisconsin! The cabin offers a newly remodeled screened in porch as well as updated flooring in the kitchen, living room, and bedroom areas with a functional open floor plan to host your lake get away! New bathroom remodel in 2024. The cabin is 600 square feet but has everything you need for your stay. The new porch can now be utilized year-round and is surrounded by windows to view the lake and wildlife as you sip your morning coffee! The cabin sits just off of Sunset Bay on Nelson Lake and is only 8 minutes from Hayward, Wisconsin.

In addition to the typical kitchen amenities, we provide a beverage fridge, charcoal & gas grill, and a coffee station (with many brewing methods to choose from so bring your coffee). Within walking distance are two bars with breakfast, lunch, and dinner options as well as many other great restaurant options in and around Hayward, Seely, and Cable all within a 10-15 minute drive. Take a ride on your boat as Nelson Lake also has many local bar options for food and drink.

Our 2 bedroom cabin sleeps up to 6 people with one queen and one double with a twin bunk, and a futon in the living room area. Bedding, towels (1 per guest), starter supply of kitchen/bathroom paper products, and basic storage is available in both rooms. WiFi is also available to connect a computer or phones as well as a Fire TV Stick streaming device to link your Netflix or other accounts to watch movies just in case it’s a raining day! Birch Point Resort provides guests with a laundry facility within walking distance of the cabin as well as a volleyball net and a playground equipment.

Winter activities to enjoy on and around Nelson Lake include snowmobiling (just off the trail), snowshoeing and skiing (just minutes from the Birkie Trail), ice fishing, and sledding.

Birkie Trail information: 73+ km trails groomed for skate, 100+ km trails groomed for classic, 5.0 km lighted for night skiing. The trails are suitable for intermediates. Multiple trailheads so you may ski shorter segments, along with several loop routes. Snowshoe Trails: with separate trail system. The trailhead in Cable is 17 miles from Birch Point, however many trailheads are available south of Cable off of Highway 63 towards Hayward. Retail sporting goods & equipment rentals available on the North side of Hayward.

North End Trail Information: Just South of Cable is a wonderful trail system through a gorgeous Northwoods setting. The trails wander over small hills and glacial ridges through a scenic forest of mixed hardwoods: birch, oak, and maple trees; and numerous stands of conifers: red and white pines, spruce, and balsam fir. There are two trails for cross-country skiing. The North End Trail is 13.1 km long with two shorter cutoff loops and is groomed for classic and skate. The North End Classic Trail is 13.5 km long and groomed for classic only with numerous cutoff options. Both trails intersect repeatedly with each other and the Birkie Trail and Telemark Trails to create a massive trail system. Due to the hilly terrain, both North End trails are suitable for those of at least intermediate skills. There are 12.7 km of snowshoe trails, including the Ojibwe Trail. The North End Trailhead is 16 miles from Birch Point.

Summer recreation is limitless with boating (utilize our personal dock), kayaking, canoeing, jet skiing, swimming at the Birch Point private beach, and of course fishing! Boats can be rented at Revelle’s Resort just down the road on Birch Point road. Both Hayward and Cable host many summertime activities and attractions just minutes away!

Other Hayward area attractions from Birch Point include the following:
- Hayward Lumberjack show (7 miles)
- LCO Casino (11 miles)
- ATV trails (100’s of miles of off-road trails with local rentals available)
- Golf courses in and around the Hayward area
- Fall Festival (last Saturday in September)
- Stone Lake Cranberry Festival (first Saturday in October)

Nelson Lake is 2,503 acres of water, 31 miles of shoreline, 16 islands and a few floating bogs. Its water source comes from two named streams, the Totagatic River and Tagalder Creek, and at least four other specific drainage streams. It is home to at least three pair of nesting eagles, two osprey nests, four pair of nesting loons, and a nesting pair of Trumpeter Swans, many Canadian geese, assorted ducks, blue herons and numerous song birds. Fishing includes walleye, northern pike, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass and panfish (crappie, bluegill, yellow perch, and sunfish). General gamefish season runs from the first Saturday in May through the first Sunday in March.

Winter getaway

Great location on the lake for our family's winter getaway. Cabin was "cozy" as described. Perfect little basecamp for us. If you intend to stay indoors 24/7 with more than 4 people this probably isn't the place for you.

Great little cabin

We are fisherman and loved staying on Nelson Lake. The cabin was great to stay in was cozy comfortable. At first the beds were a little firm but we adjusted and was overall ok. The only downside is dock isn't friendly for most larger fishing boats. The L parts of the dock makes it un unusual for larger boats and is exposed to the wind and has no power to charge your trolling motor batteries. There is a solution if you bring 300ft of extension cords there is a power outlet by another cabin dock. We beached the boat and made it work. I hope the condo association puts power in at the docks for us fisherman. When this was part of the resort power was on every dock. I talked to the cabin owners and I know they want to get power at the docks again. Hope that happens. Would love to stay again.

Awesome

Good property. Great location. A couple of the dishes weren’t clean and needed to be rewashed before use. It would have been helpful in the property listing and subsequent communications to explicitly list the cabin #, but otherwise we were very happy with the property and definitely would stay there again.

Property very nice. Beautiful view looking out window at the bay. Close to Hayward was nice, 10 minute drive. Convenient bar and restaurant on site. Excellent Wifi was very convenient because cell service was limited. Plenty of amenities inside. Kind of tight for 4 adults and 2 kids, but very nice.

Nice getaway

Property was nice. The water near the beach on the property wasn’t swimmable with all the greenish water and weeds, no fault of the owner. We found a place for my son to swim further down the lake.

A Cozy week in Cozy #5, Birch Point

Fun week for my family. Pontoon rides, walks, pub run (Nelson Lake, Summer Tour 2023), camp fire, grilling, and fishing. Big thanks to Lisa at Bullhead Bob's for all her hospitality and telling about sites to see on the lake. Great time, great memories.

Winter Wonderland getaway

We came up to the north woods to cross country ski. The cabin at Birch Point was very nice and cozy. A big picture window in the living room overlooked a beautiful winter scene. The cozy cabin was thoughtfully decorated and very comfortable. We wouldn't hesitate to stay there again!

Awesome experience

Things can happen when going to some place that you haven't been to before that can ruin a vacation. Some of these happened to us but how Shana handled every one of them was spectacular. She responded to every one of them immediately and made our stay perfect. The cabin is everything advertised. It is very cozy, well decorated, fully stocked, and very clean, we felt at home. Shana has been making many upgrades to it and making it even better. We can't say enough good things about our experience and are looking forward to returning. Our vacation was perfect thanks to Shana.
