About this property

Family log home nestled in the woods just minutes from trails.

Our Log home in the woods!

The home is located east of Birchwood in the woods but with in walking distance of the dock on Big Chetek with your own access to the lake.

The home is nestled in a beautiful wooded lot. The view is of sunrises from the screen porch while enjoying your morning coffee!! Quiet and peaceful describe the location.

The lower level is a walk out to your own fire pit with an endless supply of wood right there in the wood shed.

The home has walking trails or winter snow shoeing on approximately 40 acres. There are several trails, one leading to the creek where you have a couple of benches to sit and take in Mother Nature. The woods are full
of wild life. (Turkeys, deer , fox , eagles etc.)

Extended Family Trip to the Woods...

We had a small family reunion that took place at a Lake about 20 minutes from Linda's rental. I needed something close for us to stay at for a long weekend with my family and my brother's family. It was a perfect location and the property is beautiful. Linda is a wonderful host. Highly recommend.

Lumberjack World Championship Log Cabin Win

Six old friends headed to Wisconsin for the Lumberjack World Championship because...why not? It was a great competition and a perfect VRBO to come home to. The "cabin" was terrific for our group. Super clean, plenty of bathrooms (!), lake access, large place to gather in the kitchen and family room, not to mention the screened in porch with a view of the forest. John and Linda were very friendly and accessible. Definitely a five star experience!

Everthing we needed

The cabin was the perfect place to getaway and enjoy the lake. The cabin was big and meet the groups needs. The fire pit was ready to burn for us when we got there. I would love to stay here again! Recommend this place for everyone. The Host Linda was the best host I've ever met.

Winter Wonderland

We had such a wonderful weekend. We needed a place to stay last minute for the Birkie, and the owner was very accommodating when we asked to adjust our booking due to the snow storm. The cabin is so nice and clean! We loved sitting downstairs by the fireplace and enjoying nature’s beauty. I’m sure it’s even better in the summer with that screened in porch and walk out. Would love to go back!

Clean and comfortable

This property was perfect for our family. When renting properties we are mostly looking for something that is clean and comfortable. This place was wonderful. It was clean and well maintained. Linda was always quick to respond and super helpful. We would definitely rent this property again.

Perfect getaway cabin

The home is very clean and had everything we needed. Fully stocked kitchen. Plenty of space for multiple people/couples. Kids commented that the internet was good. Large screened in porch was lovely. It is located near a dead end and not close to much. We enjoyed this location, but would do some grocery shopping on our way in next time since there’s nothing super close. No air conditioning, but that wasn’t an issue for us as the weather cooperated. The first night was pretty hot outside, but house was surprisingly not bad. Fans are provided which also helps.

Great house near the lake

Property very up to date and clean. Linda was very accommodating. Lake and dock down the street and across the street... Maybe 120 yard walk. Lake a bit murky and with algae and such but not too bad. Doolittle Park in Birchwood great for kid's swimming.

Beautiful!

We loved this cabin in the woods. It was absolutely perfect for our family of 6. Everything was meticulously cleaned and well stocked. The cabin is beautiful and nicely decorated. We spent every morning on the screened porch with coffee. Whenever we had down time, we were on the porch. We saw 6 deer the first morning. The yard is beautiful and the back fire pit is great. They supplied all of the wood we needed. Easy access to the docks across the street which was really nice. The lake is beautiful and big. Linda and John were very accessible and accommodating. So easy to work with.

Family Getaway and Visit

Beautiful cabin with extras. We really appreciated the fire pit at ground level out back, although only one of the nights was cool enough to warrant a fire, we still enjoyed the ambience. Also, the fish cleaning station was awesome! Could have used some upright fans as the excessive heat and humidity made for some grumpy family members without AC, but I'm guessing if I had asked, they would have provided some, as Linda was most accommodating and warmly welcoming. It was a little difficult to access the dock or pier but Linda graciously let us cut through their property on the water and even allowed us access to their personal dock if needed. There wasn't much we wanted for and the impression I got was we had only to ask for whatever we needed. Overall, its nicely appointed and situated and provides for a relaxed getaway.

Why they chose this property

We have 40 acres of woods with trails a creek as well as waterfront access with a private dock for all your boating needs.

What makes this property unique

While this property isn't on the lake, it is across the street nestled into the woods overlooking a slew filled with various species of birds with access to trails right out the front and back doors. If you're into boating and fishing this property also comes with a private dock that is located on the lake side, so you can enjoy the best of both worlds!
