About this property

Perfect Little Cabin!

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!

Cozy & Very Comfortable

All the check-in details will be emailed to you prior to your arrival. The kitchen is very well equipped with all the necessary appliances and utensils you could possibly need. The refrigerator and stove top worked perfectly. The frosted beer mugs just waiting to fill and toss down a cold one upon your arrival!

Fun up North

This the cutest cabin ever. The decor was charming and not overdone! The beds very comfortable. The view out of that living room window lets you forget everything. The cabin contained everything (and more) that we needed. We lit up a campfire every night. The provided wood was an absolute bonus!

The cabin was exactly as described. Very cute and made us feel at home. Especially loved the evenings sitting by the firepit. Larissa was easy to contact and responded to us quickly whenever we had questions. Definitely will stay there again if we go to the North Woods.

We very much enjoyed our stay. The cabin was perfect for our needs. We were able to dock our boat on the property and had plenty of parking for our trailer and vehicle. The cabin was cozy and had everything we needed.

Beary cute

Accurately described. Cozy cabin right on Nelson lake. Loved having access to washer and dryer. Bathroom was nice. The view from the front window was beautiful. There is no fish house, but have a freezer for fish carcass in main garage. The dock is down a slight hill but its a nice dock, also no power at dock. Overall, our family enjoyed our stay, and the host was easy to get a hold of. Our son enjoyed using the kayaks.

All Inclusive Cabin

Smooth sailing checking in! Great response from owners, Everything you could need was there! Oh, bring laundry detergent and fishing bait. Beautiful view from our picture window, and the chipmunks, Steve and Samantha were the most entertaining with their antics! Rented a pontoon from Revelles and the dock we were provided was perfect. Filled our limits several times on panfish! Beautiful lake! Campfire ring and chairs was a perfect spot to watch the sun set ending the day.

Cozy Little Cabin

We've stayed at a number of cabins on Nelson Lake and this one was the best. The cabin was clean and smelled nice when we arrived. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything needed for cooking and serving food and there were even food storage supplies. I was surprised to find coffee, creamer, sugar and also several cooking spices provided. I was very impressed that there was charcoal and lighter fluid for the outdoor grill and even firewood provided. The firepit area was perfect for daytime relaxing and enjoying the lake views and warming up by the fire during the evening. I loved the cabin decor and the bear and moose theme. The only thing that was a little unpleasant was the bed in one of the bedrooms that was up against the wall. Cabin owner was very responsive and easy to communicate with. My family and I really enjoyed our vacation here and we would definitely stay here 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.

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

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.

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!

Sweet and cozy cabin

This was a great location for a couples getaway weekend. Beautiful lake -- we kayaked twice using the cabin kayaks. Spotless and well-appointed. Queen bed was comfy. Flat iron and hairspray were a nice touch in the bath room. Close to Hayward and bike trails. The neighbors were friendly. Would happily return.

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.

Cottage in the Cove

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 !
