10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Sep 2025
This was a fantastic cabin on a beautiful lake. Lots of fun activities for the kids, and some great fishing!
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Aug 2025
We all had a great time. The water was a little green for swimming. We went in August, maybe earlier in the summer wouldn't be green. Other than that 10/10
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Aug 2025
The location and home are absolutely stunning. I can highly recommend this property for that reason. We had some big meals planned for our visit, and the fact that the grill and the dishwasher were not working made it very challenging. I understand that break-downs happen, and do not blame the very responsive hosts for that. There is, however, a lack of decent cookware, and the bedding is very ‘tired’. Other than those issues, the hosts and the property were top notch.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Jun 2024
This is a 3 bedroom cabin with an open loft (not 4 or 5 bedrooms as the listing states). It is clear the cabin has been used a great deal. The couches are saggy from the use and could probably be replaced (we had trouble getting out of the downstairs couch). And the beds are very uncomfortable/springy so if you have a bad back or hip pain I would not recommend this cabin. It is right on the lake with a steep hill incline to go back and forth from the deck. The road is not paved so bring your truck when it's been raining as your vehicle will get muddy. We were able to rent a pontoon one day so that was fun. And we caught lots of fish right off the dock. And depending on your phone service you won't get voicemail or be able to make calls from the property so plan ahead and make calls when in Birchwood. The kids had a blast for sure.
