Great space

This is our second time staying here. It had everything we needed for our group and plenty of space to spread out. Showering took some time as the water pressure was not good in any of the bathrooms, but we managed.

About our stay...

Staying at Serenity Bay was fun, but there were a few things...guests staying in the downstairs bedroom were cold. Maybe providing a space heater would be helpful. The hot tub was a nice feature, but it felt more like a "warm" tub. The beds were not very comfortable...maybe upgrade mattresses (or mattress pads). The ping-pong table was definitely a hit!!

Stuck in the past

THERE IS NO WIFI!!! The host says that there is wifi and it's just bad but not a single person, nor the TV that lives there was able to even connect to the wifi. There were no other cabins occupied so this is the full extent of the wifi. The host says that there are no providers that can service the area but that's just a lie, it's 2025 and there are options like starlink that can give good wifi in remote areas, not that this is even that remote. Thankfully everyone had full bars of service on AT&T, lending even more credence to it not being impossible to have wifi.The whole place was very old and had the smell of your grandparents house that is just a little mildewy. There were dead bugs littering the house and plenty more alive ones bugging us the whole weekend. Beds and furniture were about as firm as sleeping on the carpet. Furniture was very cheap. For this price this house should at least have toilet paper, soap, trash bags, and a lighter for the grill.This has been the most disappointing VRBO experience I've ever had. I will not be returning and will try to discourage anyone under the age of 65 from going

BEST Vacation EVER!

Absolutely LOVED our stay! Property is beyond beautiful with plenty of space for my family. We all thought the turtles (which other people complained about) were cute and charming, and don’t snap at people. House was clean and we liked all the information notices posted about fishing, Wi-Fi, etc. We all decided that this is going to be our yearly family vacation destination. Thank you Terry for an awesome vacation:)

Awesome space

We were able to spend a fun week with our four adult children and their spouses or significant others in addition to four small grandchildren. There was enough space for everyone to have a good place to sleep, and enough indoor space that we could hang out together or separately, even on rainy days when we didn’t go out. There’s lots of porch and table space outside as well as chairs for around the fire pit, chairs by the beach, and space on the dock on a quiet lake. Loved our time there.

Tomah Tourney

Other than the fact that we came in the blizzard of Jan. 2024, this place was perfect for us. It had more than ample space for 11 people to sleep. The hot tub was an added bonus for a few of our group. One slept next to the fireplace on our last night. The only downside we had, and thats no fault of anyone but mother nature, was it can be difficult to find on the backroads of Tomah in a snow storm. They did a great job keeping us plowed out. Overall, we were all very happy with our stay and will be back!

Solid place for a large group

I hosted my brother’s bachelor party here for a weekend, and everyone was very pleased overall. It is not a particularly new or clean place, true to its rural WI setting, but it is perfectly suited to a group and has great communal spaces both indoor and outdoor. Note that this is a BARE BONES place, you have to bring many of your own essentials. Be very thoughtful/planful! We thought we had everything but forgot some kind of utensil to clean dishes with. Lastly, note that there is not really internet access here. And depending on your wireless provider there may or may not be service.

Beautiful location

This is my first time to stay at a self cleaning location. Beautiful location and Mr. Terry is very kind and helpful. If coming make sure you pack supplies needed! Many of us have allergies and a couple asthma. Mr. Terry sent staff to handle a couple issues we had with cleaning. Make sure you inform him quickly so he can start that process if there is an issue.

Family time

We had a group of 9, including our adult children, significant others and our 2 year old Granddaughter. The spiral staircase was scary with a toddler. Bring your own baby gates. Everyone had room to spread out and join together. Perfect for our needs. The beds were ok but the mattresses could use an upgrade. The main floor furniture was a bit warn out and not the most comfortable, but it worked. Everything else was great.

Tomah rental

The house was roomy and set up well for a large group of people. The seating areas and decks were a beautiful place to sit and enjoy the outdoors. The place definitely needed a good deep cleaning. We had a wonderful time, but that being said, we’ve stayed at many places at this price with simple amenities like garbage bags included. The spring fed pond, is not a lake as described which I would also make more clear in the description. Swimming was not for the faint of heart. We had very warm days and the A/C did not keep up- it was a struggle to get it below 84 degrees.

Could be a great place.

With a deep cleaning and a little TLC, this would be a good getaway location. We did not receive the list of items that are not provided (consumables like toilet paper, soap, towels, garbage bags), so had to make a run to the store to get those things. The home was not very clean, especially the bathrooms and kitchen. We were unable to open the screen doors because the screens were ripped and let in bugs and the internet service was very poor. Again this could be a very nice location. The pond is nice, trails, beaches, and opportunity for lots of outdoor fun.

Beautiful Spacious Getaway/ Owners were excellent hosts

For the nightly rate and quality of the the property, this place was an amazing find! Our group had 11 people for a quiet bachelorette party. We mostly hung out at the cabin around the fire and enjoyed the hot tub. Enough rooms and bathrooms for our entire party. I was personally impressed with the water heater. Nine people of our group needed to shower before heading out for dinner plans and no one was left without hot water. I was the last of our group to shower and the hot water was still going strong! One more personal detail that I was impressed with was the level of communication from the owner Terry. My family had experienced a few unexpected life events to which I (the person who booked my party’s stay) would not be able to check-in. I was concerned there would be an issue, but there was none. I was able to communicate with Terry right away and they were very understanding. Their response time was impeccable. It was comforting to know that the owners/hosts were reachable at anytime. The place is beautiful. The property is so peaceful and spacious. The rate is seriously unbeatable. The hosts were so fantastic with their level of communication and transparency. I would absolutely recommend staying here and I will absolutely stay again! Thanks Terry and Co! -Lisa 11/13/22 to 11/15/22

spacious, yet rundown

Property was nice and offered plenty to do. It is a little run down and was not super clean in kitchen we found dirty silverware in drawer. The mouse that was out on countertops and sink each night pooping all around the sink area was an unsettling feeling while on a mini vacation. We had to move food and sanitize everything each morning. The lower cupboards were very filthy and that was where they keep the clean cookware. Hot Tub looked to have black mold on inside of cover. We spent most of our time outside which was nice, but we would need the inside to improve a bit in order for us to return.

About the host

Hosted by Terry and Sally

We are Sally and Terry. What a great blessing it was to stumble on to this beautiful 12 acre property in 1995. Even though the only convenience here was an outhouse (including no plumbing or electricity!) we fell in love with the rolling hills and beautiful lake. As former city dwellers and corporate dropouts who had made the choice to get out of the traffic and noise, we headed to the country with nothing specific in mind except to just get away from it all.

Starting from scratch was an adventure where over the next ten years, Birch Lake slowly began to develop. It was so much fun to put in the opportunities for the simple escape to nature; Ranging from the hiking trail in the woods, the little waterfall, and the deck out on the water. It was because of these ideas in which Birch Lake came into being. As we began to offer this experience to others we expanded, adding one cabin after another; Having each cabin carefully designed to complement and fit in to the surroundings.It has truly been a pleasure to receive the gift of trust that we deeply value from our guests. The fond memories that our guests create are what make up the ambiance of Birch Lake and its cabins.

Dont forget the smores
It is our hope that if you decide to come here that you too will discover the peace and beauty of this gem we call Birch Lake. Your hosts, Terry and Sally

Why they chose this property

It's very secluded from the hassle of life. This 12 acre property enjoys a stunning natural beauty. Surrounding the property are the rolling hills of south west Wisconsin. It's on a dead end road and the peace and quiet is amazing yet it's only a 10 minute drive to the city of Tomah which offers shopping, fast foods, restaurants and a
Walmart Super Center.

What makes this property unique

The four lakeside homes, all listed on Vrbo, are 100 feet apart, facing different directions and have trees between them. This offers privacy and peace.
