Nelson Lake - Adorable fully furnished 3-season cabin just steps from the water! Enjoy big-water views, excellent privacy, and a level lakeside setting with approximately 450 feet of meandering shoreline on one of the Hayward area's most popular full-recreation lakes. Set on 4 acres with not a cabin in sight, this quiet property offers easterly exposure and beautiful morning light across Nelson Lake, known for excellent fishing, boating, waterfront bars/restaurants, resorts, Big Island, and areas of DNR land. The turn-key 2-3BR/1BA nostalgic 1960s cabin is move-in ready and offers the perfect summer getaway, featuring a kitchen with good storage, cozy living room with woodburning fireplace, wall furnace to take the edge off cool spring and fall days, and large storage room off one of the bedrooms ( could be used as additional sleeping space). The lakeside firepit, dock, and boat lift make days at the shore easy, relaxing, and fun. A 3-car garage added in 2016 provides excellent storage for boats, ATVs, snowmobiles, and lake toys. Located just minutes from downtown Hayward's shopping and dining, and close to miles of all-season recreational trails, this property offers a wonderful combination of lake enjoyment, convenience, privacy, and Northwoods recreation. Wetlands on site-see map. Move in and enjoy your Nelson Lake getaway this summer!
