Vacation rentals in Nels Lake

Great space for 2 adults and 2 small kids. Our toddler felt “at home” and we loved not having to pack toys and baby items for our trip!

We loved our stay here on Lake Superior. Access to the private beach was a highlight! We also enjoyed the bonfire space, having lunch on the deck overlooking the lake, and star gazing! The rooms were spacious, beds were comfortable, and bathrooms/kitchen stocked and clean. The location of this cabin is convenient to many local places to explore. It is set close to the highway, but we weren’t bothered by the road noise. We would love to stay here again!

My partner and I couldn’t have had a more positive stay at Phil’s cabin. It’s as described, sitting right on the edge of Lake Superior. We are cozy, nature-loving homebodies, so this was a stellar getaway. At the timing of this review, we stayed 3 nights in early off-season March 2025 (chilly, with heavy snowfall on our last day) which saw several weather changes that only enhanced the natural surrounding atmosphere. The cabin is close to Split Rock Lighthouse and 20 minutes to Two Harbors proper, with plenty to see and do. If not going out to the café, brewery, or state park, we were bundling and idling indoors quietly admiring a very clean, plentiful cabin with working amenities. Phil and Emily were transparent hosts in ensuring we were set up with a cozy, accomodating experience and (to go without saying) very respectful of our privacy. We arrived with a scenic, humble getaway in mind and they absolutely delivered. We hope we can visit again in the near future. Thank you so much!

Everything was great. Simple check-in and out. Location was great for my needs. All the amenities were laid out. I would definitely stay there again.

This place was perfect to stay at for a weekend of skiing at Lutsen. The view of Lake Superior from the balcony was absolutely beautiful! The pool and hot tub were conveniently located in the same building and easy to find. We would stay at this place again!

Place was fantastic. We stayed 3 nights (March, 2025) with four young kids, two adults. Everything is very well communicated/clear (access, entry, garage, rules, etc) everything is known up front (kitchen items, fireplace, etc) Place is big and quiet too. Very clean, updated, cozy, and well lit (also with blackout curtains in all bedrooms) Kitchen is nice with everything you need to cook, including a grill (already had tea, keurig coffee and cups, oil, seasonings, including paper towels, zip locks, detergent, soap, etc) There is everything you need for the beach (chairs, toys, towels). Tons of games, puzzles, and books. But the best of all..... private beach, sauna, tons of firewood, garage, AND a washer/dryer. Fantastic North Shore Location (near Split Rock Lighthouse, Gooseberry Falls, Two Harbors, Tettegouche, etc). It's quiet, it's big, it's got everything you need, it's a great set up and we would proudly recommend this place to any of our family and friends!

Great views, a comfortable setting, and lots of dining and adventures nearby.

Beautiful and peaceful place made for a great vacation. I would definitely return and also recommend this place to family and friends or anyone looking for a peaceful and lovely getaway to the North Shore!

We had an amazing stay. The cabin was clean, cozy and beautiful beyond our expectations. Exquisite view of the lake, amazing stars, absolutely anything we could want in a north woods retreat. Will be back for sure!
