Wonderful Property

Everything about our stay exceeded expectations. House is lovely and close to the water with stunning views of the lake. The lake and surrounding area was so quiet all you could hear was the wind and the birds…including loons. Owners were helpful and easy to reach. Highly recommend!

This home and property were amazing! My mother in law and I couldn’t find dirt in the house if we tried. Nothing was an afterthought. Everything was provided with the direct intent to make us feel at home, and we did!

Annual Ladies Snowmobile Trip

This is the second year in a row staying at this property and it did not disappoint! Our host Andrea continues to impress us with responsiveness, attention to detail and ensuring we have a great stay. The property has everything you need to stay in, but it’s also located on the snowmobile trail so great for us to ride directly out of the property. We had 8 ladies and had plenty of space. Thanks for another great stay!

Awesome Place

Willies on Nelson Lake is the best. Clean, cozy, well stocked, comfortable beds, beautiful location, gorgeous sunrises. Close to town. We were there to side x side. Close to trails. Our host Andrea was the best. Will definitely stay again. Highly recommend. One of the guests had their truck breakdown. She provided local service information and let us stay an extra night.

Cozy Winter Getaway on the Lake

This cabin was perfect for our Winter get away! The wood fireplace kept us cozy, the kitchen is well appointed and great to cook in, bedrooms are spacious as well. The deck and full windows overlooking the lake is beautiful and let in lots of winter sunshine. Perfect setting on the lake and close to the trails for XC Skiing and snowshoeing. Fun to watch the snowmobiles go out on the lake. Great for couples, or a group of friends, lots of space to hang out together. Very well taken care of and super clean. Thanks so much!

Creating family memories

This property has thought about everything one needs for the lake place. From kids toys to canoe and kayaks, there is plenty of fun to be had. It even had a safety gate on the deck that could be pulled across the opening to the stairs for our toddler to safely hang out on the deck with the adults. The lakefront, dock and fire pit area are awesome as we had many fires and s’mores. Creating family memories are precious and priceless and this was the place for that. Will definitely return!!

Making Memories

From the moment we came across Andrea's home on VRBO, we knew this was the right place for our family vacation. Andrea's property is a dream come true for families looking to visit the north woods. There was literally not one thing that we wished we had while we were there; from baby monitors, cribs, board games, video games, ping-pong and foosball, this place has everything. What makes it even better, is that Andrea is wonderful to work with. Everything about this property is top notch. We highly recommend Willie's on Nelson for a great family vacation. You will be pleased!
