Rent this wonderful cabin!
I had a solo getaway here & this cabin was the perfect place to do so. For years I have rented cabins on VRBO & other sites.This place was easily one of the cleanest as every area was spotless. All the kitchen items you need are here (and then some). Steve was quick to respond to questions before & throughout my stay. I ended up getting snowed in on my last day. Steve went above & beyond to assist me & sent a friend over to dig me out. I couldn't get a towtruck & decided it truley wasn't safe to travel as the roads were treacherous. Steve was kindly arranged for me to stay another night. Onward...Hayward was only 10 minutes away & places to eat/shop/do were plentiful (along with a Walmart).There are many activities to do throughout every season. I prefer a lowkey solo vacation so I menadered around Mainstreet to shop & tried various places to eat, all of which were wonderful. Other than that, I spent my time reading, napping, drinking coffee by the fire, watching the sun rise & set, binging Netflix, and eating plenty of snacks & icecream. My time at this warm & cozy cabin left me feeling relaxed & refreshed...which is just what I came for. If you missed it, you DO need to bring your own bedding/towels. You DO need to sweep & vacuum as part of check out (and I say, be polite, tidy the cabin up in general). Don't let that sway you one bit! If for some reason it will, you'll be missing out on this affordable, clean, gem of a cabin!

Hunting the north woods.
The cabin was very comfortable. There is no range vent. So everything I cooked set off the smoke alarms. I also didn't understand why I had to sweep and vacuum when there is a cleaning fee that I was charged. Also have to bring your own towels and bedding. I have stayed at a lot of VRBO's and this was a first. I probably wouldn't have minded had I not been charged a cleaning fee.

NELSON LAKE CABIN
Very nice area on the lake surrounded by nice privately owned cabins. Lovely cabin and great owner who gets back to you immediately. The only 1 thing about the dock is wish there where plastic bumper guides along the docks so you could leave the boat out without worry of scratching it on the end of the dock.

Lovely!
My family very much enjoyed our 2 night stay. We swam at the beach, grilled on the deck, biked the CAMBA single track trails nearby, looked at the stars at night and woke to the sounds of loons on the lake. The cabin itself was clean and tidy and the bed was comfortable. It is a very small cabin, but we spent most of our time outside anyhow.

Nelson Lake Gem
Steve's cabin on Nelson lake was just a promised. It was clean, up to date and well stocked with everything we needed. The owner was quick to respond to questions we had. The lake is a great fishing lake and had several places to get gas, a drink and a bite to eat. Even though it is located at an old resort the grounds were not really busy and were well maintained.

About the host

Hosted by Steve Fregin

Host profile image
My wife and I grew up in Central Minnesota and have always loved being at the lake. We purchased the cabin on Nelson Lake in September of 2014. Spending time with family and friends creating lifelong memories is high on the priority list. Please make the cabin your own and enjoy Nelson Lake. Steve, Mary and Rachal

Why they chose this property

Nelson Lake is approximately 3300 acres in size. 'The Big Island' is a 600 acre island that you can actually travel around by boat. Very Beautiful!
With 31 miles of shoreline, 50% of which is undeveloped, Nelson boasts some of the best bass fishing in Northern Wisconsin. Walleye, pan fish, and pike are abundant. There are 7 bar and grills located on Nelson, 6 of which you can access by boat. A snowmobile trail is located directly in front of the cabin with thousands of miles to explore. Never a dull moment.

What makes this property unique

The bright morning sunrises are gorgeous on Nelson Lake. Enjoy a cup of coffee and take a walk around the lake. Nelson Lake is a beautiful lake spring, summer, fall, and winter.
Come and explore!
