Loon Landing on Nelson Lake in Hayward, Wisconsin.

Welcome to this rustic, cozy cabin on beautiful Nelson Lake where the sunrise greets you in the morning and the sunset peacefully ends your day. It is located on the south shore of the lake with a 100-foot flat frontage making access to the lake incredibly easy.

Nelson Lake offers a variety of activities including fishing, waterskiing, or just cruising around the lake in your boat, pontoon, kayak, or paddleboard. The lake has about 3000 acres with 31 miles of shoreline, depths up to 33 feet and several bays that offer great fishing. You’ll likely see bald eagles flying around the lake, catching fish and nesting nearby. Loons are bountiful and you will hear their beautiful calls as you sit on the dock or patio enjoying your morning cup of coffee or in the evening while you sip on your favorite beverage. The lake also has 6 resorts that offer great spots to stop and have a bite to eat or your favorite beverage, some offering gas. There are also 2 public boat launches on the lake.

The cabin offers a great place to come and relax lake front, whether it’s viewing the lake from the 4-season’s porch / dining room, outside patio, firepit, or just sitting on the dock. There is a spot to dock your own boat or perhaps take one of our kayaks out for a spin on the lake. We have 3 bedrooms that accommodate 6 people with 2 new queen beds and 2 twins. In the winter, we have one full bath although there are two showers in it. Towels are available for use. In the summer another full bath is available in the garage. A full-service kitchen is available and an additional, small refrigerator for drinks is located the entry way. There is a laundry room for any necessary wash, however the clothes washer is only available in the summer due to the frozen septic field in the winter. The dryer, however, is available year-round. We have a large 50-inch TV with cable and WIFI available in the house. There is a grill located on the patio for use in the summer. Our two kayaks are normally kept in the garage.

We are a short, 7-mile drive from downtown Hayward. It is a terrific small town with a variety of restaurants and shops, especially the ice cream and candy stores. The area is a favorite vacation destination for mid-westerners. You can enjoy taking the kids to Wilderness Walk, a unique outside park-like walk to see a variety of animals or take them for a float down the Namekagon River. We have terrific public golf course in Hayward that would challenge any private course. There is the annual Lumberjack World Championships and the Birkebeiner, cross-country ski race that brings people to the area from all over. The winter affords great snowmobiling and cross-country skiing as well as ice fishing on the lake.

Excellent stay
We had a great time here. The view sitting on the dock is wonderful. We even got lucky and caught a walleye off the dock for dinner. The property has everything that you need and the hosts are great to work with. I would definitely stay here again.

Wisconsin lake cottage
This property felt like deja vu for my parents' Wisconsin lake cottage not far from here. The views across the lake are great and the furnishings were comfortable, although full-size beds are a bit limiting. Expect typical well-water systems. Being a winter stay, we had no problems with the heat. Outstanding communication with the property owner.

Relaxing our life away
3rd year at Loon Landing. Great location and approach to the lake. Big views! Cozy home, well appointed including internet, streaming and washer/ dryer. Kayak fun! Lake had turned during our visit due to colder temps. Great establishments around the lake for food, beverages and games.

Great place! Great Location!
Beautiful view of the Lake. Loved the boat dock for viewing Nelson Lake and all its wildlife. Spent most of our time there. We didn't have a boat, so we fished right off the dock and caught many Bass & Crappies. The provided kayaks were very nice. The house is a clean, cozy, older cabin with everything you need. Loved the furnishings, Northwood's design and in great shape. The kitchen was filled with all items you need and then some. The bathroom is older but well-kept and clean. I brought my own suction grab bar and bathmat as I get dizzy in the tub/shower. Plenty of paper towels, TP and anything you would need to clean up after yourselves. The mattress we slept on was medium firmness. Washer/Dryer very nice/clean energy efficient. The gas grill on the patio worked great. We didn't have a fire but there was plenty of split firewood available. Loved the flagpole which helped determine which way the wind was coming from. It does get windy! The property manager was the best! So quick to respond with any questions we had. We stayed 2 weeks and would have done another easily. Hope to come back in 2024.

GREAT PLACE!
Property is beautiful, especially the outside space. 2nd bathroom was in the garage, which was not clear to me from the listing. Loved the house - very comfortable. Was surprised we were asked to bring our own towels and pillows (although we were able to use the pillows there) - again not clear on listing, We WOULD stay here again as the location and house were well-worth it!

Great place. Perfect spot with kids! Fish off the dock, kayaks and the water being shallow enough kids could play in it but deep enough bigger kids and adults could still have fun. ONLY problem was the beds were very hard. We had to use the cushions for law furniture to make it tolerable! Highly suggest bringing a foam pad !

Summer getaway on Nelson Lake
I would say our expectations were exceeded. We have two adult children and one teenager and we found PLENTY of room for everyone to have space! The boat dock was very nice, allowing room for two boats to be tied up. We used the campfire ring nightly. The front "porch" is fantastic to use for a morning cup of coffee when it is a bit cool outside. The view of the lake is gorgeous. The living room was large enough for everyone to watch tv when the weather was less than ideal. We really enjoyed our stay!
