The spaces were clean, the setting is beautiful, and everything was in great working order. We stayed during some super hot days, and the AC kept the indoors very comfortable (both buildings). Lots of great things about this property, but the location was superb. Birch Lake was a beautiful lake to fish and boat on, and even though the property feels very private, you are only 5 miles from town. I would definitely stay here again! ##### Sara K.

This property did not disappoint. There is plenty of space with 5 bedrooms between the main house and bunk house. There are plenty of games in the garage and house for rainy days. The beach area and lake are gorgeous. Birch lake is truly a gem. Owners are excellent in communication; the entire rental was seamless and easy. Will definitely be coming back ##### Joe D.

Lots of beds for everyone. The kitchen was stocked with plenty of dishes, silverware, pots, and pans. There were kayaks and a canoe that our Gen Zs loved. Nighttime campfires were the best. Julie is an amazing host and the most communicative in my experience with rentals. No one wanted to leave as it was such a great time. We will definitely be back! ##### Kristine Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Curtis H. Jul 15, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great property, host was even better. We found the two houses to be quite nice. An unusually good selection of cooking equipment. Towels and linens were clean and not frayed. Found supplies and things that we never see in a rental. Lake view was very nice. The property had a nice dock, several kayaks and a canoe, all of which were used heavily by the family. There was also a game room and fire pit, which we used less frequently. Several issues came up, but the host dealt with them immediately. This is the first VRBO rental, where the host seemed genuinely concerned that we have a good time. Could not ask for more from her. Would definitely recommend this property!!! ##### Curtis H. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joan F. Aug 23, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Our Great Vacation We all loved staying at this property. You can look down at the lakefront from the comfy rockers inside or from the beautiful, huge, new deck (that extends along the whole front of the home) or from the grassy slope halfway to the lake or on the study dock. The home is located on a bay in Birch Lake which opens into big Birch Lake and then into little Birch Lake, plenty of room for fishing, boating, skiing, etc. The home is spacious with a large dining table with 8 chairs, a large sectional (very comfy), a futon, above mentioned rockers, three bedrooms and two full baths. The kitchen is stocked with plenty of dishes, silverware and good pots & pans. You will find everything you might need for cooking here. We also rented the guest house for additional family members and it was perfect: two more bedrooms and another bathroom. The garage holds ping-pong, pool table, foozball, basketball and more. We enjoyed it all while it rained outside. We all want to come back to this lake house. It is perfect for us. ##### Joan F. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kelly K. Jun 25, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful family cabin getaway We stayed here with our immediate family (2 adults, 3 kids) and my MIL and FIL. The bunk house was a nice option to give us more space and room to spread out. The A/C and dishwasher work well and the beds were comfortable -- all of which often seem to be lacking in many VRBOs. The A/C kept up with temps near 100. Kitchen is well-stocked with cooking utensils, pots and pans, etc. The lake is great for swimming and water sports, decent fishing and the bottom near the shoreline is sandy. The cabin is located on a smaller bay with less boat traffic than the main lake, which also meant that even on windy days we could swim easily right off the dock. Owner has 5 kayaks available for use that we utilized nearly every day. Paddling out to enjoy the sunset after dinner was a big hit with my kids. Owner has plenty of life jackets of all sizes available if you need them. Owner was extremely responsive when a few issues came up and addressed them immediately. 100% would stay here again. ##### Kelly K. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jill W.

The kitchen had pots/pans/utensils/small appliances that anyone would need to make and serve meals. The large knotty pine dining table & chairs seats the occupancy of this property very comfortably. The kitchen/living area are open with gorgeous view of lake and are furnished perfectly. The spacious deck was convenient and very nicely furnished. The bedrooms were exactly as described/shown in pictures. Immaculate is how I describe this property when we arrived! Everything about this property was comfortable – the floor plan, the beds and bedding, the furnishings, the supplies, the location and AMENITIES! The garage/game room was also as described! There is something for everyone in this above and beyond bonus area! All the items to have fun in the lake were also as described. The dock is in excellent condition. We loved the location of this property. Birch Lake is wonderful for fishing and recreation. Communication and arrangements were very quick easy with this owner. ##### Jill W.

I don't know where to start! We just spent the most amazing week at this beautiful home!! You literally just bring clothes (I guess optional to lol!) Food and clothes are all you truly need. Full kitchen completely stocked with everything you could possibly need to prepare meals. And huge all log dining room table to gather together at mealtime! Rooms all have cozy blankets and more than enough pillows! Bath towels and beach towels along with shampoo and conditioner and bars of soap! Plenty of hot water! 3 of us stayed in the guest house and even with back to back showers the water stayed hot! Air conditioning was superb! Especially since we were there for a few of the 90 degree days! The swimming are is perfect! Sandy bottom and easy to enter the water. The dock is great for tying off boats of any size! There is a huge swimming lily pad for everyone to enjoy. I loved laying out in the sun on it. Room for at least 4 adults! In the garage there is a game room with pool table, pingpong, basketball, foosball and even a bag game! Everything was perfect! Can't wait to go back again soon! Thank you Julie for you prompt response to any questions I called to bother you about! :) You have a beautiful, quiet and private place on a great lake! Thank you for opening your precious home to our family! ##### Holly S. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Peggy G.

Loved the peace and quiet and privacy of our own property. Wish more sand beach for little ones to play and option to have a boat available with house. Enjoyed the dock, but especially the great view from the deck and spaciousness with plenty of seating and tables. Appreciated the availability of laundry facilities. Utilized many of the garage games daily. Thoroughly enjoyed fire ring. Will definitely consider a return stay. ##### Peggy G. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tracy S.

Full kitchen meant we could stay without going into town. Lake shore was very swimmable, less weedy than most cabin lakes. Used the canoes and kayaks a lot. Life jackets for all sizes. Nice big porch facing the lake where we ate all our meals and hung out. Watched eagles, osprey and loons. Lovely weekend. Host was responsive and flexible. Greatly appreciated. ##### Whitney Y.

We had a great stay at this property! It was peaceful and private and the view of the island was so beautiful! We had everything we could have possibly needed in the house and lots of extras like water toys and games both inside and in the garage! The property manager was wonderful and super attentive; she responded within minutes each time we had a question. The only thing we were disappointed in was the swimming. The lake is beautiful and clear but weedier than we were expecting. There are a few weed-free areas close to the dock but the bottom was sort of mucky. We just ended up using more floats and doing less swimming than we’d hoped. The climb down to the lake is steep but there is a sturdy handrail...totally fine for most but may be trickier for youngsters or older people. Overall we had a great experience and lots of fun...don’t hesitate to rent! ##### Elizabeth B. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Simon S.

The dock made for some great outdoor memories, we are overall tremendously satisfied with our stay here and would very much like to return! ##### Simon S.
