About Theresa Skramstad
We want to share our lake home with you to help create those valuable memories you'll cherish forever. Friendly neighbors all along the shore will smile and wave as they hear you having fun on this beautiful lake and sandy shore. Our family of 4 adult children, one teen, and 2 elementary boys and grandchildren never tire of the adventures. We regularly take hikes and bring one two-way radio and leave the other radio at home and use our "code names" to talk back and forth. Several excellent restaurants on the lake or a close drive allow a break from the kitchen if you wish! The children grow so quickly ~ make a lifetime of memories now!
Theresa Skramstad purchased this Cabin in 2015
Why Theresa Skramstad chose Birchwood
This property first caught my eye as a place where our large family and extended relatives could enjoy holidays or special events. Now, I just desire to someday retire here. The sunsets are breathtaking, the fishing is phenomenal, the lake is fun to play on, and there is never a lack of wildlife or friendly neighbors. There are also many churches in the area and the local people in the stores are super friendly whenever you need help. You must visit the bait store across the lake ~ Ruthie may even have a fresh baked cookie for you. There are no strangers, only friends you haven't yet met.
What makes this Cabin unique
In progress is a reading/sun room sunken below the dining area. With lots of sun, you can bask while reading a book or hide and take a little nap. The fire pit outside is large and landscaped. Your first load of firewood is our gift to you. Share stories, make S'mores, make memories.

Beautifully kept cabin with a lot of beds and ways to entertain a crowd!
This is a wonderful cabin with an entertainment room, pool table, food all, arcade game, bonfire pit, dock and multiple boats to enjoy.
We were sad to find a late summer algae bloom along the shore, so we had to take our crew to a public beach in town. We had a great time on Doolittle beach.
I’m happy you were able to beat the algae bloom and enjoyed all the amenities. Hoping you return soon
Wonderful for all
We had a great stay! There was plenty to keep everyone occupied. All 6 kids (age 5-17) loved staying in one room together. It was nice to all sit together to eat. Getting into the house and closing the house went smoothly.
Peaceful and perfect
Beautiful peaceful home in an excellent location. Home away from home with all the amenities, welcoming and perfect in every way. Could not be more pleased. We had 9 adults and 6 children, 5 under the age of 3 and it worked out perfectly. Set up perfectly for those who want to be up late and for those who want to go to bed early. Wildlife paradise. Dock was great, rented a local pontoon and fished and took lots
of photos. Highly recommend. Lots of room for all and so peaceful.
So happy your group enjoyed your stay. Please come back again soon. You were wonderful guests!
Great size for large groups, beds and couches everywhere for sleeping.
Had a long weekend with a large group of friends. Although the April weather hadn't allowed use of the lake, the pool table and deck saw a lot of use. Great spot for grilling and having a nice fire outside. Would return :)
Awesome house. Beautiful. Tons of rooms.
Such an amazing house. We had 15 people and there was plenty of room. Great areas to hang out. Extremely comfortable beds. We were atving and were able to take right off from the house and go in any direction on beautiful trails. We will definitely rent again. Highly recommended.
Beautiful place
We had 14 adults stay at this house for a long weekend. We went 4 wheeling and also spent time on the lake. Great place to stay. All the pictures are very true to what the house looks like. The owner is wonderful to work with.
So glad you enjoyed your stay!
