Our family week at the log home was stellar. It was everything we wanted and more. The lodge is beautiful and fabulously equipped. We enjoyed the beach area and simply floating on the water, or using the pontoon we rented, which was easily docked on the property. Dave was extremely helpful, giving us a quick tour when we arrived, and letting us know he was only a phone call away.

Favorite cabin of the summer

We spent a handful of weekends staying at VRBO cabins this summer and this was hands down our favorite! The hosts thought of everything, so we didn’t need to bring much for preparing food or sleeping arrangements. Cabin was so beautiful, right on the water and a great dock for parking the boat and jet skis.

Great family time at the lake

Perfect place for a family week! Beautiful clean property with everything you need. Great beach for kids to swim on the property and another swimming beach nearby. Great fishing. Lovely fire pit area. Dave was a very gracious host and there was good communication so we knew exactly what to expect. Would definitely stay there again!

Wonderful Northwoods Getaway

The Nelson Lake house is a great getaway. The house is perfect for a multi generational family. There are 3 distinct areas for sleeping and just taking a break. Dave and Cathy are fantastic hosts, they have thought through what will make their house comfortable. You will have a great time!

Amazing Property

From the beginning the communication was excellent. The cabin was beautiful and had everything we could possibly need for our stay. We have stayed at many different homes through VRBO, and this by far was the cleanest, best stocked home we have ever stayed at. We will definitely stay again. The lake view and the property are beautiful!!!

The property and house never disappoint. This is our third year. We are a 3 generation family group. The house and property gives us plenty of room to spread out and enjoy each other at the same time. We are also a family that loves to cook and eat together. The kitchen area is fantastic for our many hands to cook together.

Incredible home away from home

We have been fortunate to travel to many locations and stay in some lovely properties, but only rarely have we had such a fabulous stay! This log home is exceptionally clean and well-cared for. The layout and design is perfect for large groups, though we loved our stay as a couple. The swimming--even in September--was wonderful. Dave is the consummate host. We will return for a longer stay!

Sibling Reunion

Absolutely beautiful log cabin. The layout offered plenty of space for us to be together as a group of 8 while cooking and eating as well as playing cards. It also has great space for spreading out if you need a little alone time. Hayward is a fun town and is an easy short drive from the cabin. Dave was a great host and took care of any issues we had. Definitely recommend this gem!!!

Hayward getaway

We had a great family vacation in Hayward. The property was beautiful. The cabin was clean and well stocked with everything we could need. Dave was very helpful with any questions that we had. The area around the dock was too weedy to swim or fish but Dave offered up his Maui mat for the kids to use a bit further out for swimming. Overall,we had a great time!

We can’t say enough about this log home. There was plenty of room for our family of 10 to spread out. The kitchen was very well equipped and the island was great for many buffet type dinners! Everyone had a seat at the table for sit down dinners as well. What was very nice is that each level of this home had a full bathroom so our 3 families had their own. The deck was large and nicely shaded for our little ones to run around with a gate that was locked for safety. The beach was a big hit with the grandkids! Our host was the best with quick answers to any questions before we arrived and during our stay! We would love to come back to this beautiful home! Thank you again to our host who made us feel very welcomed!!

Family Ties

This is an amazing vacation spot overseen by a super hospitable couple, Dave and Cathy. It is all inclusive. The only thing you have to bring is you and your food. The beautiful cottage is well stocked with many amenities. While there we were able to hike, bike, swim, boat, kayak, canoe, fish, enjoy a campfire and much more. We also enjoyed downtown Hayward along with the World Lumberjack Championships. We suggest to anyone to add this cottage to your vacation travels. It’s a great place for families to make memories and create family ties
