3 ft from water - tiny house with everything you need
Birch is a studio built in 2017 - square log construction. Many guests describe Birch like being on a houseboat. When you sit on the couch or glider rocker, you can only see water. Complete kitchen with microwave, full refrigerator, dishwasher and range. There is a place for everything. This is a more private location at the very east end of the resort. It’s also our closest cabin to Big Sand Lake–about 3 feet. When you look out the huge front windows, it looks like your floating on the water. The Birch studio home is a favorite for cuddling couples and small families.
Our Pine Cone Lodge Resort is located between two lakes! More rustic and scenic Loon/Thomas Lake is shallower and great for bass and panfish. It does not have public access. There is public access on Big Sand Lake on the south-east shore.
This property is not available for VRBO rentals in the summer Memorial Day through Labor Day. We hope you try out this property at Pine Cone Lodge during the fall, winter or spring.
Sleeping arrangement: Queen bed and the Loft above has a twin bed. Daily visitors are $15/day that you pay during stay. Dog fee is for only 1 dog.

Although we weren't able to get out ice fishing or hiking due to the weather, we enjoyed the area and exploring local towns. The cabin was very comfortable and clean. We loved the huge windows and view of the lake! Very quiet location despite construction during the week. Thank you!
It was true—everything I needed was there for my short stay. Comfortable bed, hot shower, comfy couch. Being so close to the lake was amazing, and the quiet was so restful. Loved all the windows!
I completely loved my stay at the "Birch," Pinecone resort! This cabin is at the end of the row, so there was only one other cabin on one side! The other side, all woods, private,and the firepit. The studio cabin was the perfect size for me and my dog. Although you could easily sleep three or four with the loft and main bed. My favorite was the expensive windows in the front overlooking the lake with pine trees hanging over the edges. It was so peaceful, so serene. I imagine in the summer months it will be a lot busier, but I definitely plan on going back!
This was a very cute little cabin to stay at, perfect for 2 people. We loved that it was at the end of the resort property, so all we could see out of the windows was the lake and the trees. Being able to use the small dock for casting off and the fire pit at night were great bonuses. Bonnie was really great to work with and made a point to check on how our stay was going when we saw her working around the resort property. We would definitely stay here again if there are ever any openings!
We stayed in the Birch cottage. It was clean and cozy, and the views of the lake were incredible. We had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Highly recommend Pine Cone Resort!
It was a wonderful experience. The cabin is beautiful. It was quite, we were able to watch the ice recede on the lake it was magical! We will be definitely coming back!
While the cabin is small, it is mighty! The entire cabin has high end finishes and so classy but comfortable. The layout of the cabin was very thought out and had everything we needed. The beds were comfy. We so enjoyed our little ice fishing get away. Strongly recommend!
This cabin was just as advertised and was really, really clean! Modern interior with great heating and water pressure. Hassle-free in all aspects. Loved it!
This cabin was really a gem this week, thank you Bonnie and the Pinecone Lodge for letting us stay there. It may have helped that we were the only ones there all week. Parking close to the property in my truck was very challenging. So we just parked in a larger lot and walked in. The view was stunning. The cabin was everything we needed for the time we were there. Thank you again.
This was a wonderful, much needed getaway. We loved the peacefulness of the resort and the scenery was beautiful, the lake is crystal clear to the cozy cabin beautifully done. Bonnie was very accommodating. Couldn't have asked for more!!
Furniture was a little low and had trouble getting knees to bend to get up easily. Husband fell and hit his shoulder quite hard on the floor. Left the next day. Owner offered to change our room but just wanted to get home. We would go back again after making sure we had a recliner and a bed that was the normal height. Bonnie Brand and the people there were wonderful. This place is absolutely beautiful!
The cabin at Pine Cone Resort surpassed my expectations. Very clean and comfortable. Well appointed. You couldn't ask for a better view of the lake. Felt like we were on the water. We will definitely be a repeat customer.
Our stay was more enjoyable than expected . Cabin was perfect and clean. All amenities and more. View from cabin was breathtaking. Very peaceful and quiet. Will definitely come again, the eagles soaring over the lake and the peace and quiet truly made us feel like we were in Gods country.
Birch is incredibly clean and comfortable. Close proximity to the lake allows for breathtaking views of sunset and sunrise over the beautiful lake. I will definitely be returning!

About the host
Hosted by Bonnie Brand
The Brand family has owned Pine Cone Lodge and Vacation Rentals since 1960 with the third generation starting in 1995. We have changed the resort to be more of a vacation home getaway for our guests. We have removed the old cabins and built homes that are open year round. New homes with the beautiful scenery and lakeshore make a wonderful vacation spot.
