We built our dream lake house about 20 years ago for family gatherings and it now accommodates up to 20 guests. High vaulted ceilings, a stone fireplace, unique Northwoods furnishings, and two stories of windows provide an exceptional view of Big Lake and all it's beauty. The great room overlooks the lake and is used for dining, relaxing by the fire, and enjoying the incredible views. Wildlife sightings are frequent, include eagles, loons, deer and more, and are right outside the door! There is an attached three season screened in porch to keep the bugs away and a wood burning stove to keep the room toasty warm on those cool evenings. A huge deck runs the length of the house on the lakeside for additional seating to enjoy the magnificent views. The kitchen is large and open with a huge island to have your morning coffee or to prepare food while socializing with other guests. It is well stocked with most everything you need to prepare wonderful meals for your entire group. There are two grills outside, one gas and one charcoal, along with a second refrigerator in the garage. There are two bathrooms and three bedrooms on the first floor including the largest bedroom we call Kamp Kid as it has four twin beds with an adjacent bedroom with 2 twin beds. The second floor has two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a comfortable sitting area in the loft that has the best view in the house! The lower level is newly remodeled, has two bedrooms, a huge rec room (with a ping pong and foosball table), sitting area, kitchenette, and bathroom. From the lower level, there is a walk out patio complete with chairs, fire pit and access to the lake. Birch Brae sits on a bluff facing Keith Island and has 29 stairs leading to a private dock. The water depth at the end of the dock is 26/27 inches. The lake is shallow with a sandy area near the dock which is fun for swimming and water activities. There are two kayaks, two canoes, oars, paddles, and personal flotation devices for your use. Big Lake is a 827 acre lake and has a maximum depth of 61 feet. Visitors have access to the lake from two public boat landings, one is a mile away. Fish include pan fish, large and small mouth bass, northern pike, walleye, and the ever elusive musky! It's a fisherperson's delight! Wakeboard boats and jets skis are not allowed. Birch Brae is on The Heart of Vilas County Bike Trail System that offers more than 45 miles of paved trails connecting St. Germain, Sayner, Boulder Junction, Manitowish Waters. The property is 8 miles from Boulder Junction and 8 miles from Manitowish Waters. There are four bicycles and a tandem bike available for your use but bring your own helmets! Vilas County is one of the world’s premier snowmobiling destinations. There are over 600 miles of spectacular trails that traverse unspoiled wilderness, crossing undeveloped lakes and connecting to scenic Northwoods communities. In all, Vilas County is home to a quarter million acres of public land. The property is located in the Lake Superior snow belt so there's a lot of snow most winters. The area is home to some of the best snowmobiling clubs around and volunteers work tirelessly to keep trails in top condition. Birch Brae offers the perfect Northwoods experience during any season!! FYI, we do have a security camera that monitors the driveway. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach towels ### Ski - Cross-country skiing nearby ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car required - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Kitchen island - Kitchenette - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 7 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 4 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Music library - Smart TV - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Dock - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming cats and dogs only - 2 pets total (up to 50 lbs per pet) ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed - Note from host: Outside only ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a hospital - On a lake - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Arcade/game room - Bicycles - Boat - Foosball table - Golf - Kayak - Snow sports gear - Table tennis - Tennis - Basketball nearby - Birdwatching nearby - Casino nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Hunting nearby - Ice skating nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Sledding nearby - Snorkeling nearby - Snowmobiling nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Bicycles - Garden - Unit size: 4,000 square feet ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/124000000/123260000/123250900/123250896/69fae87b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Riverfront home on the Manitowish Riverway w/ fire pit, kayaks & boat house Manitowish Waters - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-09&endDate=2026-02-10&selected=123250896&PinnedHotelID=123250896&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV, fireplace, DVD player](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/100000000/99800000/99791900/99791869/49ceb126.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Luxury 8bdr Lodge on Eagle River Chain of Lakes!

Birch Brae was perfect for our extended family's annual trip to ring in the new year! There was plenty of space for our family group of 18, including 8 kids and 10 adults. The property was very clean and well stocked. We loved being on the lake ice fishing, sledding and ice skating, cozy fires, exploring the local area and enjoying family time together. The large kitchen, dining and open living area was great for gathering together for meals, games, crafts and visiting. The downstairs recreation room area provided additional space for the kids to play. We would definitely consider a return visit to Birch Brae! ##### Connie M.

House was perfect with a large gathering area and kitchen. I love Big Lake, great small mouth, pan fish, Northern and musky fishing. I would highly recommend hiring a guide to learn the lake, there are some dangerous rock bars or simply read a map intently. We will book this house again in 2024\. Thx TC ##### Tony C.

Our family of 13 stayed for a week. Everyone described the the house, the kitchen, and the recreational equipment as outstanding. Everything we needed, especially in the kitchen, was provided. We enjoyed games, puzzles, canoeing, kayaking, bicycling, trail hiking and lots of great conversation. We appreciated the high-speed internet as some family members had work or classes for which high speed was helpful. Everyone explored nearby towns. One family member rented a boat at Greers Landing for two days on a nearby lake for tubing and skiing. We recommend Birch Brae! ##### Byron M.

So many different books and paintings. There was so much character. You can tell the house was built and kept up with love and we felt it. It was beautiful especially the lake.

Jun 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Big Trip IV at Big Lake Overall impressions in these categories: House: Beautiful. Big enough for our group of 13, kids and adults. Kitchen is more than great. Screened porch is better than good. Dining area large enough we could all eat in the same area. Rec room including table tennis was used a lot.Water: Fishing was slow but that's no one's fault. Kayaks were used a lot everyday. The shallow sandy bottom was amazing for our kids to play and swim in. The dock held our two boats easily. Stairs to water are not intimidating and easily traversed even by this old man. Lake is not too big and not too small.Amenities: Kitchen was well supplied. Kayaks and canoe were well used. Lots of paper towels and toilet paper. Two washers and two dryers. Fire pit worked well and so did the firewood. Plenty of lawn chairs. WiFi worked great. Not sure the Loons came with the house but they were present every day.Misc: Host was very responsive with answers to our questions. Boat landing is very close. Overall Stay: Low cabin density around the lake leads to low boat traffic and a peaceful experience. We had a great time hanging at the house, on the dock, in the water, and boating and fishing the lake. This rental has everything we look for in our yearly Big Trip and we usually go somewhere different every year but this place would be the only one we would consider going back to for another year. ##### Dennis S.

So much to do, look at and explore. Keith was very easy to communicate with and everything was to our liking! ##### Riley P. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### James E.

The cabin had plenty of space for all of us to hang out. Spacious kitchen lot's of seating for eating and games. The lake was the cleanest we have EVER swam in!!! The scenery around the lake and property was absolutely gorgeous! We found a awesome trail to walk our dogs on! The Host was very easy to communicate with and responded to requests promptly! I can't wait to come back again and again and again. I really hope everyone else has a wonderful experience like we did. ##### James E. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Glenn T.
