Great location and fun times!

We spent a week here in August- Swam off end of dock-tied 2 boats and a jet ski to the dock easily. There were stairs to water but that was listed ahead and our crew was able to manage without a problem. We used the bunkhouse and appreciated it! Kitchen was well stocked and it even had a crockpot! Hosts were responsive and even called before the week to give info and help prepare! Great value for a great stay!

Family Vacation

The property was as described. Being able to use our boat that we brought along was very easy and the lake was very nice. The only drawback for us was not having a table that seats 6 for meals together or playing games.

Amazing Family Vacation!!

Location was perfect and there was plenty of room for our entire family. My wife and I had the upstairs bedroom, my oldest daughter and her fiancé had the downstairs, and our twin 18 year olds shared the bunk house. We all had some private space, but also plenty of room to spend time together. Location is nicely secluded, but also a short drive to anything you want to explore in Hayward. The property is very well maintained by Jon and Andrea and they have everything and then some that you could want or need. We will definitely be returning as long as they’ll have us!! We couldn’t have asked for a better family getaway before we get busy planning a wedding and sending our twins off to college! Thank you so much Jon and Andrea for a great experience!! Also, if you don’t have a boat, the Nelson Resort is very close by and rents well maintained pontoon boats for a reasonable price.

We had a wonderful time. We always enjoy being on Nelson Lake and the fishing. The house was well stocked, clean and perfect. The owners were very helpful and so nice and came and helped us clean up after a bear got into the garbage outside. We had a great time, beautiful weather and will definitely be back.

Clean and comfortable home away from home

This Nelson Lake home was a very clean and comfortable place for our group of 6 to stay while enjoying the Hayward area. The hosts were thoughtful in all they included to make it as easy as possible to move right in and start relaxing. We had grandparents (70s), my husband and I (40s), two kids (preteen) and a Lab, and we really enjoyed how the multiple levels allowed us to spread out. The kids loved to adjourn to the "bunkhouse" with full bed and in-wall electric fireplace. Our dog was happy hanging out on the upstairs deck, exploring the backyard with the long cable leashes that were provided, or going for early morning walks on the safe and quiet Hard Rock/Cty T loop. The adults appreciated the comfortable beds and furniture, on-site laundry, and all the extras that are quite often not included, such as toilet paper, paper towels, hand soap and laundry soap. The host also got in touch the week before our rental to make sure we had his contact info and to answer any questions we had ahead of time. Yes, there are steps to the lake, but we didn't find them to be any more taxing than at other homes with that setup in the Hayward area--of which there are many. A couple extras that might be nice in the future would be additional hooks or shelves in the downstairs bedroom closet and bath, but overall we were extremely impressed by the hospitality shown by Jon and the spotless and well-stocked home we enjoyed for the past week.

Great host, lovely setting on beautiful lake

We loved our stay at this pet-friendly rental property with beautiful views of Nelson Lake. We rented a pontoon boat from a local vendor and had good luck fishing. Lots of local restaurants and events, too. The dozens of stairs to water's edge might be a challenge for elderly guests, but we're late middle-aged and had no trouble. Host was extremely responsive and helpful. We hope to return!

Loved this stay so much, and will definitely be back! Location is incredible! It's close enough to town while feeling tucked away and private. We were scheduled to check in in the midst of a huge storm, and the host was so gracious and generous with helping us navigate that. He was on top of shoveling, salting, etc. and was great about checking in!

We really enjoyed our stay on Nelson Lake. The cabin was much bigger than in the pictures and very clean. The back deck was wonderful for drinking coffee, grilling and hanging out. We enjoyed the privacy this property provided. We enjoyed both the fireplace and bonfire pit. Fishing was awesome and so was swimming, off the dock and at near by sandy shorelines. There are a lot of stairs down to the dock, but they are well maintained and safe. We would definitely go back!
