About this property

#4 Affordable, pet friendly Studio Cabin on the water, 1 boat slip included!

This cute studio can sleep 2 adults comfortably.
This spacious cabin has everything you need to make it your home during your visit! It is situated just a few steps from the waters edge, located in a small, quiet resort on a sleepy little point with water on both sides! Eat dinner on the picnic table and roast marshmallows around the campfire, while overlooking beautiful Birch lake. You may be lucky enough to hear the call of the loons too! We are located on Birch lake with easy boating access into Lake Chetac. Both are great fishing lakes. Our cabin has a fully stocked kitchen with a full size refrigerator, stove with an oven, microwave and coffee pot. There is a dining table/chairs for 4, and a queen sized bed.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Oh, we are so sorry Tony! I thought when I went down to your cabin we got you connected. You never mentioned it didn't work for you again. Also, it does say we provide linens but not towels on VRBO. We do realize some guest may overlook this info or forget, so we keep some on hand at the office. When guest let us know that they can't find towels in the cabins or tell us they forgot theirs we are more than happy to give them some to use for the duration of their stay. I am happy however, that your overall experience was pleasant.

Great little cabin

We loved this place, only feet from the lake it was very clean and decorated nicely. Very quiet for as many campers as are also in the resort, and everybody was so nice! The owners Rick and Shelley are awesome. Rick is always around in case you need anything. We will be going back next year.

A great comfortable cabin

The cabin was very clean and well maintained. The kitchen well stocked with utensils and anything else you might need. The property has access to a beautiful lake with great fishing. Birchwood is a great a town with lots of nice restaurants and shops. We spent our time hiking the many miles of trails on county land. There is also an extensive system of ATV/UTV trails in the area. Looking forward to coming back next year.

A lovely home-away-from-home for me

I stayed here for just over two weeks and I enjoyed it quite a bit. I didn't do a lot of the things many other guests so, like rent one of the nice pontoon boats parked conveniently at the docks behind the cabins. Because this was a solo trip, I opted more for hikes in the vicinity over boat rides. I went on hikes nearly every day. I got lost on my very first hike and took a few days off after it, but was consistent after that. It's possible to hop on and off the Ice Age Trail all over the place without driving far from the cabin at all. I traveled an hour or so away to go hiking sometimes, but the drives were so lovely that I purposely wanted to go further away. My stay was more of an unplanned one and I still had to do things like work (I work from home), so I probably had a different experience than just about anyone else who will come here for a stay. I spent a lot more time inside the cabin than I think most people would. The cabin is cute, clean, comfortable and has everything you'd need. It's not what I'd call fancy, but I don't mean for that to sound like a bad thing. It's got everything you need and nothing you don't. There are more lakes than people up here and seemingly just as many places to go hiking. I want to come back to the area as soon as possible. Next time, I'll bring my wife and our dog and do some of the things I didn't get around to the first time. Rick and Shelly are perfect hosts. They are there whenever you need them, but they'll give you space when you don't. They're always looking out. One night, there was a tornado watch and Rick came by to personally let me know where I could go for shelter if I heard the sirens and stuff. I appreciated that. Luckily, it didn't come down to hiding in the shower building.

Great getaway weekend

The cabin is clean and functional. It has a beautiful lake view on one side and RV park on another side. Rick/ the owner is always around and always ready to assist. We rented his pontoon and were happy. Short drive to hiking trails and downtown restaurant Bear Path with excellent pizza. Overall there are a lot of things to do including fishing from the dock. We can’t thank you enough for your business:)))

Rustic cabin in quiet location right on the lake. Many screened windows to let in the clean, moist breeze. Wished we could have stayed longer. The Birchwood Cafe down the road is very good, too.
