Hayward Basecamp Near Nelson Lake, Phipps Flowage & Downtown

Welcome to Bruckner’s Bungalow, a private 3-bedroom, 2-bath cabin on 8 wooded acres just minutes from downtown Hayward, Nelson Lake, Phipps Flowage, and nearby public boat launches.



This peaceful cabin makes an easy home base for fishing, boating, UTV/ATV riding, snowmobiling, shopping, dining, and quiet nights in. Spend the day on the water, explore the Namekagon River area, or head into Hayward for local shops, restaurants, and year-round events. Then come back to a wooded setting with space to relax, cook dinner, play games, and unwind.



Nelson Lake is just a short drive away, with a nearby public boat launch, easy parking, and access to fishing, boating, swimming, and ice fishing. Anglers can fish for walleye, panfish, bass, and northern pike, and boat rentals are available on Nelson Lake.



Inside, the cabin is comfortable and thoughtfully laid out. A large entry area works well for boots, coats, and outdoor gear, while the main living space includes a wood-burning stove, dining table, and cozy kitchen. Each bedroom is spacious with a king bed, and the bathroom includes a deep soaking tub that is perfect after a day outdoors.



Step outside to the covered porch for morning coffee, wildlife watching, or a quiet evening in a rocking chair. Whether you are here to fish, ride trails, ski, or simply slow down, Bruckner’s Bungalow is a comfortable and well-located place to stay any time of year.
