Gorgeous family-friendly cabin in pristine condition. I especially appreciated the quality cookware that was provided. The lake was quiet and peaceful. Lake access from the cabin was just down the hill. Hummingbirds were very active when we were there and were constantly approaching the feeders, so that was cool to see. Would definitely return!

We enjoyed a fantastic stay at Pinecone Retreat. The cabin was immaculate, and extremely well-stocked in terms of cooking, cleaning supplies, etc. I really enjoyed the direct lakefront access and pier for docking my boat. There was absolutely nothing lacking to make our stay thoroughly enjoyable. I'm familiar with the Birchwood area and have stayed on this lake several times in past years, and this is the experience that lived up to my preconceived standards. The owner is a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend this property. We will most certainly return to the Pinecone Retreat in future years.

Wonderful Stay!

We stayed at a the Pinecone Retreat over the 4th with a group of friends and had an awesome time. The property had lake access, which was perfect for swimming and relaxing during the day. There was also a bar close by, which made drinks and entertainment super convenient. The whole atmosphere was fun and relaxing, it was a great place to kick back and celebrate the holiday. Additionally Jean was great to communicate with and was a great host! Would definitely come back!!!

Fun family getaway!

The cabin met our needs perfectly for a family weekend getaway with grandma and grandpa! The kitchen is fully stocked-more than any other that I’ve been to, 2 levels of spaces and bedrooms is great for families, and the community amenities are a major bonus-fishing, swing set for the kids, and a restaurant! The beach area shown in the photos is just gravel now so bring water shoes! Overall a great place that we would come back to if the opportunity arose!

About the host

Hosted by Jean Boatman

Host profile image
Jean Boatman, I am a vacation home owner along with my husband Wayne. My husband drives truck and I am an interior decorator/painter. We built and designied this cabin with comfort and up north decor in mind.

Why they chose this property

This home is for our enjoyment now and later when we retire. We had been managing a campground in this resort and love the area. There are so many great places to dine out & shop. We enjoy The Birchwood Cafe and Just Right On Main for dining and shopping. We decided to build when the new lots became available and were first to get the best veiw of the lake.

What makes this property unique

We enjoy the people who come into this area. There is fishing, Atv trails and many nice shopping and entertaining things to do in the area. There is snowmobile trails in the winter and ice fishing or just relaxing in this comfy cabin. I also designed the basement to be either a family game area or it can be transformed into a space for scrapbooking and other crafts for up to 8 people.
