Very nice blend between a cabin experience and comforts of a home - lots of amenities - kitchen appliances, hammock, s’more skewers. lawn games, baby books, free wood, which are rarely a given and necessitate packing. Very timely and responsive hosts!

We had such a great weekend stay here. The cabin was super clean and had everything we needed, which made the whole trip really easy and relaxing. I was really impressed with how much was provided for kitchen supplies and everything we needed for the lake.We utilized the paddle boards, kayaks, and fire pit all weekend. Super fun watching the sunset with all the loons on the lake too! Overall, we really enjoyed our time here and the hosts were fantastic. We’ll definitely come back again.

Our stay at the Big Birch Lake Cabin & Shoreline Bunkhouse was relaxing, accommodating, and very enjoyable.We appreciated having so many amenities readily available, including the cozy outdoor blankets, restocked firewood, and the great selection of water equipment. I personally enjoyed the Maui Mat on the lake and the excellent AC indoors. The lighted stairway down to the dock also made it safe and easy to enjoy the sunset views in the evening.Everything was exceptionally clean, both inside and outside of the cabin, bunkhouse, dock, and beach area.Thank you for your excellent communication and for making the check-in process so seamless. We had a wonderful stay.

Our family of 9 had a wonderful get-away at Big Birch. We all appreciated the beautiful design of the cabin & bunkhouse, as well as the comfortable bedding & pillows. The sunsets over the lake were gorgeous, and we so enjoyed the kayaks & paddle boards. Our kids caught several fish, from the dock and from the kayaks, which was a highlight. One thing that we did not realize before coming was the close proximity to the neighbors’ cabins. There was quite a bit of noise (from mowers, weed wackers, power washers) during the day as it seemed to be a work wkd for them. This was a bit of a disappointment for us as we only had one full day at the cabin, and the noise detracted from our hopes of quiet and relaxation. However, we did still get some quiet & relaxing in during the mornings & evening. All in all, we had a wonderful stay and made lasting memories.

This cabin was great! I brought 6 teenagers and the bunkhouse was perfect for the older kids to have some privacy. We used the lily pad, paddle boards and kayaks a ton! Lake is very clean and there wasn’t a lot of lake traffic so I felt safe letting the kids paddle across the lake at any time. Will def be back!

Super cute, beautiful views, well stocked and clean as a whistle. Even better than we’d hoped for with a few little extras which made us feel so welcome! I wish we could have stayed longer. Excellent in every way!
