Welcome to our family home. We have enjoyed family reunions here since 1982 when it was first purchased by our parents. Our home is located on the south shore of Nelson Lake with a 100-foot flat frontage making access to the lake relatively easy. We are also located a short walk down the street from Four Seasons Resort, which offers a great restaurant and full-service bar.
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 of shoreline and several bays that offer great fishing. You’ll likely see bald eagles flying around the lake as well as seeing and hearing the haunting call of the loons. The lake also has 7 resorts that offer great spots to stop and have a bite to eat, launch your boat, or fill up on gas.
Our home 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 full beds and 2 twins. In the winter, we have one full bath although there are two showers in it. In the summer, we have 2 full baths available. 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 fireplace for use in the winter and a grill located in the garage is also available for your use. 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.
