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!
