This was our second time renting the house. The house works very well for us. We had 12 people this time and everyone loved it. I can’t wait for our third time to rent. Michelle, the owner was incredible to communicate with like I said I can’t wait for the next time.

This house had everything we needed for 10 people. The lake view is amazing. The steps down to the lake and dock were easy to navigate. The split driveway allows for ample parking for multiple vehicles and a boat trailer. The kitchen has modern amenities and lots of counter space. My adult kids enjoyed the Pac-Man machine and ping pong table. We made wonderful memories and hope to return again next year.

The home, the location was wonderful! We really enjoyed our stay. Though we are older folks, the only dining room table was a high top. We always dine together and it was a little difficult for some of us to climb onto the chairs.Everything was great otherwise! So much room and very comfortable. Beautiful views and freat location close to town yet still surrounded by trees and lake front.

Birch Lake Family Vacation 2025

We all loved our week at this lovely home on Little Birch Lake. It felt very private. We enjoyed the sandy beach and swimming area, and in the evening enjoyed fires at the fire pit down on the beach. When not in the boat, we caught fish right off the dock and enjoyed the beautiful sunsets! This was one of our favorite destinations on Birch Lake!

Our group had a good time fishing and enjoyed the large house, the only negative was the few chairs in the dining and living room offered limited seating. The bedrooms and the kitchen was well stocked with all that was needed. We would definitely rent it again.

Lake House

Location is terrific - right on the lake, close to town for ice cream, tennis, pickle ball, and also to state trails for walking and biking. The house is well-equipped, everything you need in the kitchen, tons of sheets, towels, blankets, and lots of windows for light and views of the kids playing on the beach. There’s a nice dock for fishing - lots of sunnies and bass. It’s feels very secluded and private.

Fantastic Lake house

We had a family reunion with 7 adults & 7 kids and loved the location! The bike trail is so close & we were able to bike to town for ice cream everyday. The place feels very private and perfect for young swimmers as it is shallow & sandy. We all found places to sleep & the kitchen fully stocked for all our cooking needs. Michelle responded quickly to questions and we made so many beautiful memories here! A few things my relatives think could make the VRBO even better would be keeping the broom/dust bin in a handier location for guests & reminding the cleaner to empty the vacuum. Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful spot with us!

Awesome Experience

Booking this property was such a wonderful experience. It easily fit 11 people and did not feel over crowded. The area surrounding had many great places to go within walking distance if needed. Highly recommend the brewery downtown by the lake. The lake itself was beautiful! The beach on the property is a perfect spot with shallow clear water. One side of the lake is super shallow and the other side is about 30ft deep and was awesome for surfing. 10/10 would recommend!

Previous Guests Provide Cleaning for Next Guests

Maybe we missed it in the original listing, but an email from the owner the day of our arrival indicated that the listing included no cleaning fee. Guests are expected to clean before departing in preparation for the next guests. When we arrived, the house was certainly not clean. The second day of our stay we found 2 plates in the middle of the stack in the kitchen cabinet that had about 1/8th inch of some type of filthy liquid standing on them. We found dirty towels hanging by one of the showers along with used bar soap in the shower. All of the showers were filthy. The trash had been taken out, but nobody bothered sweeping the floors since we found food on them, including in rooms where there were signs asking that no food or drink be brought into the room. We absolutely left the house in better condition than we found it. Access to the Paul Bunyan trail was excellent. The dock was nice. The "beach" was down a fairly steep hill from the house and was a minefield of goose droppings. There was a brand new gas grill, but no propane tank, and there was a charcoal grill.

Hi John, I am very sorry to hear you did not enjoy your stay. And very surprised the home was not clean - we have never had someone complain about the cleaner previously - I will definately reach out and see what happend! The home was reported to be left in good condition - so thank you for that. We know the hill is a bit steep - we do intend to install stairs this upcoming year to ease the transition down the hill. We have done some research on how to keep the geese of the lawn - so far it has seemed to keep them away. Just a side note - anytime anyone asks if there is a "beach" we state there is a sandy area for kids to play however to hold the integrity of the lake shore and follow the lake association rules we do not have the sand going all the way into the water. I hope you find a wonderful vacation home to stay during your next adventure. *** Stairs have since been installed for any easier trip down to the lake.

This cabin is in a great location! The lake is beautiful and clear. We were able to walk to town for coffee daily. The Paul Bunyan Trail was also a short walk away. The cabin itself was roomie for multiple families. Would definitely stay again.

This is such a lovely home on Little Birch Lake! It has all the comforts of home! The fishing is great right off the dock and the swimming area is sandy. There is a fire pit on the beach for roasting hot dogs and making s'mores. It's a perfect place to be to watch the beautiful sunsets! The only downside is that time just goes way too fast when you are vacationing here!
