Stayed at the VRBO for a fishing trip to Big Chetac. It is very close to the boat landing and only a few miles out of Birchwood when you need to run into town for something. The home is very nice and well stocked with everything you need. The basement bar area is a nice addition. The owner Chad is very easy to get ahold of and really cares that your stay meets your expectations. I would rent this place again and highly recommend it to anyone!

This property was just what we needed. It’s homey and clean. The location was excellent for the UTV trails, food and quiet. We highly recommend this rental for people looking for a small unit (2 bedroom/2bath). Plenty of parking for our trucks and trailers and UTVs.
