About this property

Yellow Birch Lodge - Private Vacation Rental Home

This Eagle River, Wisconsin vacation rental home is located on Yellow Birch Lake, part of the world's largest inland chain of 28 lakes in Eagle River Wisconsin. Yellow Birch Lodge sits on a secluded two acre wooded site on a semi-private bay.

The seven bedroom, four bathroom executive home also has a large sleeping loft for kids and offers the ideal Northwoods setting. All three stories overlook the lake and the surrounding forest. Some amenities include a large stone wood burning fireplace, a covered boat dock, multiple living spaces and a fire pit area to share all the day's adventures while roasting marshmallows. During your stay there are multiple water toys provided for you to enjoy such as three double kayaks, two single kayaks, two Great Lakes paddle boards, a rowboat, a canoe and an Otter Island swim raft. We have a large Weber gas grill and for you Grill Masters, we have added a Santa Maria Grill (see the grill in the photo section) to allow our guests to also enjoy charcoal or wood-fired cooking. A very large grill that can accommodate large groups.

You are literally within walking distance of Eagle River's celebrated 18 hole championship golf course (we highly recommend their Bloody Marys BTW) and a couple minutes by car from downtown Eagle River with its excellent shopping and dining options. Yellow Birch Lodge is just off the snowmobile trail system which offers some of the best groomed trails you will find anywhere.

Whether you are looking for an action packed vacation, a corporate retreat, or simply a place to escape with friends and family to enjoy nature's finest Yellow Birch Lodge is the vacation home for you.

Great property

Yellow Birch Lodge was terrific for our every two year family gathering. Nice lodging, wonderful location, outstanding amenities including canoes, kayaks, paddle boards etc. The owner provided exceedingly detailed instructions and information. If you go, for sure rent a pontoon boat for the duration. Near perfect, with the only issue being construction occurring next door.

Our stay at Yellow Birch Lodge was wonderful! There were 15 in total - grandparents, children, and grandchildren. We brought jet skis and rented a pontoon. It was a week full of love and fun - we have many wonderful memories to reflect back on. The owner (Mark) is exceptional…responding to questions or requests promptly!
