Excellent place for a quiet weekend with friends.
Cabin is cozy and well equipped. Woodsy decor is perfect for the surroundings. Excellent views of the lake and very easy to get into town if you need a day of shopping.

Cozy cabin on a beautiful lake
We had a great week at this cabin. We especially had a good time fishing and enjoyed stopping at all the great places to eat on the lake. Thank you Peggy and Jeff for a wonderful week.
House and property well appointed and was as advertised. Owner very responsive to all questions and needs. Rent the pontoon boat if you can. That made the week for us! You do need to bring your own bath and beach towels. The bedroom with King bed is a bit challenging as the bed extends the entire room leaving just narrow pathway on one side to get to closet. Overall a great place on a nice lake. Fishing was decent!
Easy check in and quick response. Was great to have our own dock. Relaxing time.

great xc ski trail location
Great people, great location. Scenic overlook of Nelson Lake. Less than 30 minute drive to xc ski trailheads in Cable, Hayward, etc. Terrific stay. The bunk beds make the most of the room available, and it's v. warm with the fireplace heating the space. highly recommended for someone looking for a Wisconsin winter vacation. Thanks!
The cabin was clean and everything was as advertised. I realized as we were coming into the area that I had not seen any outside photos of the cabin. It might be helpful to add a few. The area is beautiful and full of outdoor activity options very close by. I would stay again.

Cold
Drove 5+ hours to stay in a cabin with inadequate heating. Spent one night, (reserved 4) got up in the morning, packed and drove 5+ hours home. The pictures give the impression of privacy, but properties are very close to each other. Road/drive runs between cabin and lake. Received no response from voicemail left with owner.

Quiet Cozy Cabin
Cozy cabin is decorated so cute! Updated bathroom. 2 of the 3 bedrooms have window air conditioners. We left doors open during the day and it cooled the cabin nicely. Cute screened in porch with a bar counter top made a great place to watch sunsets or have your morning coffee. Wifi was great as well as dish TV. Private dock and fireplace. The beach is a short walk (one cabin away) and shared by all resort guests. Fishing was slow due to large rain fall recently. Several bar/restaurants on lake. Owner Peggy was awesome to work with. Answered any questions in a timely manner. We will definitely be going back. Thanks for the great memories!!
The atmosphere was very welcoming and lake like which was very nice. Didn't like there was cameras at front and patio doors, completely invading our privacy and it was a little strange there was family pictures everywhere. One of the bedroom pictures showed online was one that was locked and couldn't use for some reason. The room not pictured that we used had an odor like dog smell to it or maybe it was because the carpet had gotten wet day b4. The pantry carpet was wet along one side of wall and some spots farther out towards door(seen in pics). There were visible mouse traps with fresh peanut butter on them in 2 bedrooms and laundry room. Spider webs throughtout the house. We had to kill spiders constantly. The one sofa didn't recline for some reason and when i went to open the back to check if it waa unplugged a bunch of food crumbs fell out and then when my husband sat in the other that reclined there was candy underneath his seat. U could see all the food crumbs under the couches if u layed at eye level with floor. There were holes in the ceilings where vents should've been. I mean I guess we expected it to be alot cleaner considering it was someones actual lake home and not just a rental property.
We used the cabin for snowmobiling, we setup for 8 guys but 2 backed out. Thankfully they did, no way we could have slept 8. 5 to 6 is max but for what we used the cabin for it was perfect!
We had a blast on our snowmobile trip! Right off of the trail, tucked in off the road. It was a very cold weekend so we had a bit of trouble figuring out the heaters to keep warm the first night, had it toasty by night 2, though! A little small if we were going to have more people and the couch was ....interesting....
Nice place owed by a Great Couple. A group of us came up for a snowmobile trip, the trail ran across the lake right in front of the cabin so very easy access to the trail system. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely come again!
