Home on the Lake AND Snowmobile / ATV Trails

Come enjoy Meraki Bay! A 2 bedroom, 1 1/2 bath home on popular Nelson Lake.
The home was completely updated in 2021.
Situated on a large 1 1/2 acre lot, the home boasts 165 feet of footage in a quiet bay on the Southeast side of the 2700-acre lake. The large yard has room for outdoor sports, grilling, or a campfire. The private dock allows you to fish without leaving home or dock your boat for your stay. Nelson Lake is known for bass, walleye, and pan fish. It also great for pontooning and water skiing. We have purchased 2 brand new Old Town Fishing Kayaks which are available to rent during your stay. There are multiple resorts located right on the lake to boat up or drive up for dining or drinks.
The living room and kitchen boast beautiful views of the lake. This is a great place to start your morning with coffee and end your evening with a gorgeous view of the stars.
The home is designed for 4 adults, but could sleep up to 6. (4 Adults & 2 Children/teenagers)
Bedroom 1 has a queen-sized bed.
Bedroom 2 has a queen-sized bed and twin bunk beds.
Bathroom 1 has a toilet, sink, and shower / tub combo.
Bathroom 2 has a toilet and sink and is located in Bedroom 2.
The home has a fridge, stove, microwave, coffee pot, and tv (with Netflix and a Chromecast). Additional kitchen appliances like a blender and crockpot are also included. It is climate-controlled with a furnace and central air conditioning. The living room and dining room both open up to a wrap-around porch.
The home is located directly on Snowmobile Trail 4 and Snowmobile / ATV Trail 19. It is less than 3 miles from thousands of acres of Sawyer County land.
While there is plenty to do right at the home, it is also close to several destinations including 6.2 miles from Hayward, 6.9 miles to Seely, 14 miles from Cable, and 30 miles from Spooner.
Close to lakes, trails, resorts, recreation, shopping, the casino, and festivals. Notable nearby attractions include the Birkebeiner trail and the Chippewa Flowage.

Great Place - Awesome Owner

My nine year old son is a fishing fanatic, so for Christmas his gift was a father/son ice fishing trip. This home has everything an entire family could ever want for an awesome up north getaway or long weekend. The owner was more than accomodating and was extremely helpful in helping us have an awesome trip. Next trip up north this will be the first place we look to stay. Thank you George! You helped make our trip a success!

Amazing family getaway! Exactly what we needed!

George was great to work with. Went out of his way to give us all the details about his beautiful cabin! We had a great week relaxing and fishing. Deer wandered through the yard multiple times throughout the day and we could hear loons calling from the lake. Very quiet neighborhood too. We will be back for sure!

Fishing trip

Overall experience was fine, The place has a nice atmosphere and was clean and newly renovated, lake Nelson presented some good top water fishing this time of year. The place has two docks, one you're able to dock at, The place is located in a very very shallow Bay. The dock was new and did not have any tie downs or buoys - we brought are own, and was difficult to tie in for the evening. Getting to the dock, I did hit a few things and messed my prop up getting into the place despite trimming up. The landlord was a bit demanding about using water and electricity, as well as complaining about previous tenants which really had nothing to do with us. We brought our own water as the tap water was very smelly, The landlord did warn us about these things The day before we checked in. The bedrooms are set up with one having a queen bed and the other having a full bed and two bunk beds, which is tight for three people in one small bedroom, and the bunk beds are weirdly set up away from the wall and the top bunk being very close to the ceiling which gave one of my friends problems the whole weekend, probably fine for kids. I'd say this place would be better for two to three people instead of four for sure. Nelson is a great lake for lg bass and Pike but don't come here for walleyes. There is a bait shop close by called minnow Jim's which is very convenient. They have kayaks available but you have to pay an extra rental fee which I believe should be included when staying here. This place was rented out at a decent price compared to others and I think you get what you pay for, for the most part.

Beautiful, private, and quiet

We loved staying at this house on the bay. While there was not a swimming shoreline, a quiet beach is about 10 minutes away for kids to swim. George was very communicative and it was a wonderful, relaxing week.

A beautiful site with a wonderful updated cabin. The deer will greet you every morning.

We joined multiple brothers and sisters for a week on the lake. The house was great for relaxation, rest and more. The hosts really do take care of you -- before you arrive; while there; and after you depart.

Great Place on Lake Nelson in Hayward, WI

Updated cottage in Hayward, WI You can see the owners have put a lot of time and attention into the remodeling and continue to keep it well maintained and very clean. Great location on Lake Nelson with a dock in the bay to tie your boat to or fish from. The fishing from the dock was very fun as there are a ton of fish in that lake. Great location, only a few minutes from downtown Hayward and moments from the water. Very clean well maintained great owners to work with. We would stay here again.

Peaceful time away

We had the best time at George & Heidi’s property! It was clean, well maintained and had all the amenities provided! They really took the time to figure out what people might need/want and ensure they had it! From puzzles to a fire pit to kayaks, George and Heidi thought of everything. George is so kind, quick to respond and super fun to chat with! I couldn’t have dreamed of a better experience! We will most definitely be coming back here!
