This is our third time staying at Tom’s house and everything was excellent as usual. We love the location because while we can easily access the main part of the lake, in this area it’s very quiet. Boat traffic is minimal, mostly kayaks, which makes for a very relaxing vacation. Kayaks and paddles are provided and I recommend paddling around that area, it’s very peaceful. While swimming right off the beach is a little weedy, if you just swim out about 20 feet you will find yourself in clear very chilly water. It was refreshing. I recommend hanging out by the waterfall, you can’t see it from there but you can hear it, it is a great place to just chill. For wildlife we saw 3 otters swimming by, turtles sunning themselves on rocks and loons teaching their babies to dive. Inside the house is great, plenty of room for 6 adults, plenty of couch space and a good size dining table for family meals. Morning tea is to be enjoyed on the backed deck or the screened in porch. We definitely look forward to staying again.

This is the 3rd or 4th year we have stayed here. We loved every minute of it. It is so peaceful and quiet - just what we need for a vacation. Hope to be back again next year!

My adult family spent another great week at Birch Cabin. Everything we needed was right there and we were able to enjoy a relaxing week. The addition of air conditioners in all the bedrooms was a nice bonus this year. Everyone slept comfortably. We never get around to making the s'mores that Tom leaves for us but we do enjoy the individual parts, chocolate and the fudge stripe cookies he provided this year. We brought our boat and jet ski again this year and was able to tie up both to the dock. My favorite part is the kayaking to the sandbar. Highly recommend the green kayak, it is the most comfortable. Going to try and book again for next year.
