The cabin was nice, we hoped to fish the lake but after arriving we learned that the lake is drained down 4 feet starting in September (not sure if this is yearly) so we were unable to launch our boat. We did find another lake close by to fish and found some big ones! The cabin had everything we needed to cook meals and kids loved playing with the toys they had.

Had a little bump in the beginning but turned out to be a nice place to stay on a beautiful lake.

This place is tucked away in a private area on Nelson Lake. The cabin is stocked with all amenities you would need for camping. The neighbor dogs next door can be a little noisy, but otherwise this place is perfect!

Fishing was awesome, kayaking and paddle boating was fun. Location was beautiful and the property was enjoyable. Relaxing in the hammock and lounging on the porch with a view and dining at the picnic table and s’mores by the fire were all wonderful!
