The cabin was great and the lake was amazing. We stayed 4 nights and had a great time. Four adults and 3 kids with plenty of room to stay and easy access to the lake with the pontoon for fishing and stopping at various resorts along the way. The house had a lot of games and entertainment for all ages along with a beautiful deck and patio to enjoy the view.

Nelson Lake Cabin Rental

We enjoyed our time at the Nelson Lake cabin rental. The views from the property are great and it’s in a quiet neighborhood which made walks peaceful. Having options between games or having a fire or using the lake is a bonus

Perfect for two families of 4

The bunk room was perfect for the 4 kids with the two other bedrooms for parents. Also having the basement and upstairs living rooms was nice, and sun room and deck were awesome. Pontoon very nice and new, lily pad, and quiet bay location were perfect for kids!

Excellent house and location

House was just like the pictures, maybe even better. Great location, space was perfect for three sisters to get together, however there was no pontoon as advertised and no communication from from the host about the pontoon not being on site, very disappointing !!!

Response from VrboOwner on 1 October 2024
We are sorry you did not see the message at the top of the description of our cabin telling everyone that the pontoon would be removed starting September 14th due to Nelson Lake damn repairs. We also discounted our nightly prices during this time to reflect the cabin not including the use of the pontoon.

Amazing views of the lake

Pictures do not do justice on how beautiful this house is. Came up snowmobiling with friends and it was a perfect place on the lake with the trail running right past it. We had plenty of room to park 3 trucks and 3 trailers.

It was not clean. The shower was very slippery and had no shower mat, I fell in the shower because of this and got hurt. The mattress needs to be changed as it is sinking in spots. Also the pontoon boat had no depth finder which it should of had for that lake.

Nice Place

Nice home. Comfortable beds. We left the homer cleaner than when we arrived. Loved the location, quiet neighborhood and great fishing on the lake. We were hopeful for an outdoor water source because of the fishing, there must be some issues with the lighting because the bulbs didn’t work or flickered off and on but we made the most of it. The hot water was great for the showers. There are a ton of ants, the property appears to be infested, makes sense with the super Sandy soil so we tried to keep the cuties out. It was hilarious when the ants tried to carry off our food. The pics were fun, they really can carry a lot. We also got ourselves acquainted with the fun local frogs, and snakes. The wildlife was in abundance. Thank you for a quaint home that was fun for us for the week.

Cute House on the Lake

This house is cute and located right on the lake. The views are wonderful. We enjoyed the porch area with the wonderful lake views. I would suggest cleaning or replacing the cushions of the outdoor furniture. They were black in many areas with mold. This house has three bedrooms with one bedroom that has bunk beds. The lower bunk bed is only inches from the floor. I stayed in this room and I literally had to crawl on and off the lower bunk bed as it was so close to the floor. I would also suggest that better heating options are added for the lower level. It was very cold downstairs. There was a small space heater, but that didn't do the trick to warm up both bedrooms that were in use downstairs. It is a very cute house, but I would suggest this being more of a place to stay in the summer months. The driveway is very steep going down towards the house. It is also very narrow. If you have a bigger vehicle, parking up to the house isn't a good idea. We parked at the top of the driveway and just walked down to the house. I would imagine this being very difficult in the winter months. It is a cute house and it is clean. I would recommend this place in the summer months when you can use the pontoon and the lake. The owner promptly responded to all questions and was very helpful.

Great property! Beautiful views from the house and the deck. Having the pontoon was wonderful! Easy access to the lake. Living space was perfect for 2 couples. Kitchen was well stocked. Great host! Derek answered all of our questions in a timely fashion.
