Summer getaway

The cabin was the perfect spot for a little getaway, peaceful lake with great views from the cabin. Everything you needed and more was there and available to use. We enjoyed our stay and our kids enjoyed all the catches from the dock they had fishing.

Nice Getaway

Check in was easy! Linda and John are great! Beautiful lake house and comfortable. Sunsets were amazing! Our boys were hoping there was better fishing, but they enjoyed the campfires next to the lake. Plenty of space for parking trucks and boats. Boat landing is close to the property. Would recommend staying here to relax or enjoy a weekend get away with the family.

Birchwood Summer 2025

The property is absolutely beautiful and was very clean. The property is right next to the public boat landing which made it very easy to unload our boat before unloading the truck. The property owners were there when we arrived and were able to show us where to park the boat trailer. The Hosts were amazing and provided insight to the area which were helpful for our stay. Linda went above and beyond for my family by bringing over a couple of outdoor games for us to play when we were out on the boat.

Quiet & beautiful

We stayed there while attending a family wedding in the area. It's a lovely cozy home set up for comfort and convenience. The hosts were so friendly and helpful. We had a great time at the wedding festivities and this place offered us a quiet, beautiful place to rest and recover before we headed out for more. We'd stay here again in a heartbeat.

Wonderful place!

We had a wonderful long weekend! The house is bright, sunny and very comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped. We loved the views onto the lake where had some lovely skiing and the stove was great to cozy up to after playing outside in the cold. Our host Linda was very responsive and accommodating. We hope to be back again, it was great in the winter and I am sure it's wonderful in the summer. We highly recommend!

Great Cabin

The hosts provided a clean and beautiful cabin for our family to use. It had everything we needed for our stay and is located on a fishing and recreational boating lake. We were able to bring our boat and a private dock was available for us to use. The boat launch is very close as well. We definitely would book here again!

Excellent lakeshore getaway!

We really enjoyed staying at the cabin for a long weekend. It is very clean and comfortable with a wonderful view. We brought kayaks and had a great time exploring the lake. The hosts are very friendly, helpful, and did a great job of communicating about our stay. I highly recommend a stay here and would love to go back in the future.

Beautiful home

The home was very nice and well cared for. The owners of the home share a driveway with this home, so if you need them they are close by. We had some minor issues with ants and housekeeping and low water pressure in the main shower, but all in all it was a beautiful property.

Beautiful Property - Beautiful Lake!

John & Linda are amazing hosts! We loved seeing all that they have done w/their properties. They inspired us so much for our future build, we plan to mimic their lake home. We’ll definitely be back & can’t wait to rent the log cabin next time. Thank you so much, John & Linda!

Perfect.

Linda is a great host. The cabin worked great for our fishing trip. Didn't catch as many as we'd hoped but still found a few nice ones. Perfect location right next to the public boat ramp. Neighbors were friendly as well.
