About this house rental
Sunset on the Bay is a 3-bedroom vacation rental on Nelson Lake only minutes from Hayward, Wisconsin. With a beautiful westerly lake view of one of the Hayward, Wisconsin Area's most popular lakes, this comfortable vacation home lives up to its name!
A terraced landscaping and wooded setting welcomes you upon arrival. The single-story home sits naturally at the top of a gentle hill tucked into a quiet bay overlooking Nelson Lake. The layout of the home with all its modern amenities allows plenty of opportunities to soak up this Northwood's view while staying connected with the outside world (or not). The grassy lakeside yard has a campfire ring with a natural scenic vista of a largely undeveloped shoreline. There is also a deck, screened in porch and private dock from which to take in the picturesque Northwood's lake scene, too.
Inside you'll find a comfortable 3 bedroom, 2 bath vacation home with an open living room, kitchen and dining area. The sliding patio doors in the living room frame the lake view as well as open onto the lakeside deck. There is a wood burning stove to keep you cozy as well as Satellite TV, DVD player and DSL Internet to keep you connected.
The kitchen with all the essentials has an electric stove, oven, full size refrigerator/freezer, drip coffeemaker, toaster and microwave. There is a dining room table and kitchen island with stools offering plenty of counter space for meal preparation and enjoyment.
There is a carpeted bedroom off the living room with a log framed full bed. A second bedroom also has a full-sized bed while the third bedroom enjoys a beautiful view of the lake with a queen-sized bed and full bath. All three of the bedrooms have ceiling fans and there is a sofa sleeper futon in the living room.
Nelson Lake is 2,500 acres in size with a maximum depth of 33 feet, 31 miles of shoreline and 16 islands. Long a favorite of Hayward, Wisconsin fishermen, Nelson Lake has 4 public landings and is a destination for year-round water enthusiasts looking to fish, kayak, canoe or pontoon a beautiful Northern Wisconsin lake.
*We have been working with the Department of Health and have new cleaning standards and procedures for all our Beds. On each bed we will provide sheets, pillow and pillowcase and blankets. You will need to bring your own towels and any soaps.
*The dryer has been repaired*

We spent a long weekend on Nelson lake with our grown children, their spouses and our granddaughter. The cabin was clean and well-kept. The view is great.we went to Tally Ho for dinner one evening—also a great experience wi the delicious food.

All the rooms were very nice! the kitchen could use some better cookware. One frying pan needed to be thrown away. So maybe bring your own if you like to cook. There was a thick layer of dust/dirt an inch thick on the ceiling fan in living room, the bedroom too,. So we could not use it, and a few other things that needed attention. Other than that it was just perfect for a winter stay! I would stay again.

The cabin was clean and spacious. The location was great! We took a couple of day trips to the South shore of Lake Superior. Nelson Lake was fun to explore. The cabin is aptly named, we had numerous amazing sunsets. 4 stars on cleanliness as it would have been nice if the deck was swept off since we spent a lot of time out there.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Aug 2025
Great locationUnhappy with inaccurate listing as listing says there is a Washer/Dryer. True there is, but the dryer is broke with a note that says do not use, belt broke. Listing also states dishwasher, which there isn’t. Ceiling Fans in Master Bedroom and 3 season porch do not work. An abundance of nails and screws in backyard towards firepit; we all had to make we had shoes on when outside
