About this property

#3 is a quaint, affordable cabin on the shores of Birch Lk, 1 Boat Slip Included

Quaint, cozy 2 bedroom cabin just steps from the shore of beautiful Birch Lake in Birchwood, Wisconsin in a small family owned resort.

This updated modern cabin comes equipped with microwave, coffee maker, color TV with cable, Weber grill, and picnic table. We supply bed linens, paper products, hand and dish soap.

Access to Big/Little Birch Lake AND the 2200 acre Lake Chetac is just a few steps from your cabin. A fun, affordable "UpNorth" place to relax. Grab your fishing pole and fish our renowned lakes! Both lakes have an abundance of fish which include bluegills, crappies, perch, northern pike, walleye, and bass. Cabin rental gets you a free place to dock your boat during your stay.

Don't have a boat? No problem, you can rent one of our new fishing pontoons! We also have a fully appointed fish house to clean your catch of the day.

If golfing, hiking or horseback riding is more your thing, we have that in the area as well. Bring your towels and get ready for pure R&R.
*(Rates are for 2 adults and 2 children under 17. Additional fees will be applied for extra adult guests.)
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Memorial Weekend Getaway

The resort on Birchwood reminded me of the vintage lakeside resort that I remember from my youth. The cabins were immaculate and cozy. We enjoyed our time immensely and look forward to returning again.

Great time at Ri-Shel resort

The cabin was exactly as described- basic but clean and well equipped. The owners were friendly and attentive and the lake and area were a great north woods experience. All in all, it was a memorable vacation at a great price.

A great getaway in the north woods

My adult kids and enjoyed our stay very much. We were right on the lake and enjoyed the water and wildlife (owls, pileated woodpeckers, geese, black squirrels). The cabin is nicely furnished and just comfortable.

Charming cozy cabin

We had a very nice time at Cabin #3. It is small and cozy cabin just right for the two of us and our dog. The cabin was very clean. The owners were super nice. The fishing for pan fish was good. It was perfect for our early fall getaway.

Cabin 3 Get-away

We stayed 5 nights in mid-September and had a fabulous time. The cabin was VERY clean and the location on the lake was great. We caught SO MANY fish off the docks! Our host(s) were very friendly and helpful, and the lake is beautiful. This was a relaxing and fun get-away. Highly recommend.

We really enjoyed our Fall retreat in this clean little cabin on the lake! Everything was so handy and we had all we needed including the Weber grill, campfire ring, kitchen and nice shower. We enjoyed the Fall colors all around and friendly community when we went on walks with our dog. I look forward to staying again!

Mini Vacation

Rick and Shelly are fantastic. They made our stay very enjoyable. the property was perfect for what we wanted to do and so clean. We didn't get out to fish like we wanted but golfed at the nice courses around Birchwood. If we do a Mini trip again, this is the place for us.

Fabulous Vacation Spot!

What a great time at Echo Bay! Rick and Shelly are wonderful hosts! The cabin was very clean and comfortable and the location could be have been more gorgeous! The fishing was fantastic and the lake was so clean and clear we could watch the fish come to our hooks! The town boasts a couple of great bars and Cafe's as well! A great place to relax and get away from the rat race! We will definitely return!

Rick and Shelly were amazing. Super nice, from the moment we arrived. The cabin was clean and decorated adorable. The view of the lake was beautiful fish turtles and eagles everywhere.

Great Experience!!

Excellent location in the Birchwood area and on the lake. Small older resort cabin, well maintained, and very clean inside and out. Very nicely decorated and supplied well with useable, essential items. Rick and Shelly were wonderful hosts. My wife was extremely excited about the cleanliness. Boat launch and dock slip worked great for our pontoon. Just a wonderful stay. A return trip is in the future. Thanks!
