About this property
Lakefront home with private dock, canoe & kayak, fast WiFi, and firepit - dog OK
Experience what it's like to have your own private lake house! This two-level, cabin-style home is the perfect escape for anyone looking to get away from it all. Step out the back door and follow the staircase through the verdant meadow to arrive at your private dock on the shallow pond. Dangle your feet in the water while the sun glints off the surface, or paddle out in the provided canoe or kayak.
Head back to the house for lunch and cook up some comfort food in the open, full kitchen. There's seating for four in the dining area, but if you can't get enough of the great outdoors, there's a table outside too. Grillmasters may opt instead to host a barbecue on the private gas grill.
The fun won't stop as the sun sets. Head down to the backyard firepit for some friendly banter or a sing-a-long peacefully surrounded by the towering trees.

The cabin was clean, comfortable, and in a great spot - 15 minutes from town (Greenville) and right at the pond with private dock.

Excellent weekend getaway spot
The home was extremely clean and well taken care of. The firepit was lovely, the walk down to the pond was easy, and the beds were super comfy! Kitchen was well appointed and had everything we needed for the weekend! Would definitely come back!
Our family of 6 had a wonderful time! Cabin and lake were just beautiful!

Wonderful stay!
This was our second stay at Birch Overlook this year. The cabin is spotless and had everything we needed for a full holiday meal. Greenville is a great place to visit and this cabin is the place to stay!

My fiancé and I wanted to do an easy staycation near home and this couldn’t have been better! Communication and checkin was incredibly simple. We enjoyed the private dock and pond access, listening to the loons at night! We can’t wait to come back for another trip!
Was just what we needed for a weekend retreat with friends. The area was absolutely beautiful and the cabin was so cozy and more than accommodating. Will definitely stay again when we make another trip to the area.

Home Away from Home
We have stayed at Birch Overlook several times. We didn’t think it could get any better but there are several improvements since our last stay which added to our experience. We will definately stay again.
Such a quiet and perfect place to get away, even if it's just for a couple nights. Everything you need, for a reasonable price! Being able to walk to the pond is magnificent. Looking forward to making our getaway a new tradition!

Quality cabin in quiet setting
Very clean, quality-built cabin in a very quiet setting. We made use of the kayak available (also a canoe) from the cabin's private dock. Everything as described. We enjoyed our stay!
