Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Considering the price paid ($800/bedroom or $4,000/wk) and Hiller's online information describing it as upscale, this cottage was disappointing. Main entrance outside light was taped off and not functioning - safety hazard from tripping. Middle main floor bedroom had 0 outlets - safety hazard from the need to use an extension cord running through a door opening. Showers on both upper and lower floor had issues - main floor shower handle would fall off, lower floor drain cover was completely loose and would easily be disengaged - both potential hazards. Kitchen table overhead light could only be controlled by twisting bulb on or off - no wall or unit switch - safety hazard. Lower outside porch floor floor had boards nailed above floor surface as a patch - serious tripping hazzard. Lower porch floor door to the inside had nearly 1 inch gap at base of door - frogs, etc. entered house before we stuffed a towel to close the gap. Carpet beneath upper floor couch was filthy and unvacuumed. There was no one from Hiller on the property to report issues to. Each cottage had its own individual pier but no row boat was included which was disappointing.With all that said, the view of Little St. Germain Lake through the upper floor windows and from the outside deck was great.

The location on the lake was great. Beautiful views from the cabin. The cabin is in great need of repair. Many safety issues. First, the walkway had cinderblocks as steps up to the decking. Our elderly family members required someone to assist them up the step. There was a large rock that also stuck up in the walk way so caution was required to avoid tripping. Inside the cabin: Carpet on the main level was nothing short of disgusting. I vacuumed it twice and filled the canister with large amounts of dog hair. It is nearly thread bare and felt sticky. We had to leave our shoes on inside. The furniture is far too large for the space. There was very little room to walk around it. The tables and chairs in the eating space are also far too large and were very heavy to move. The kitchen is small. No more than two can fit for preparing meals. There is no cabinet space to store groceries so they had to sit on the small table in the kitchen. The dishes were fine. Glassware was a hodge podge with only 4 wine glasses. Kitchen supplies were very basic. We did have to buy a serving/mixing bowl as there was only one. Bedrooms: Bedroom 1: Main level. Double bed with twin bunk. The upper bunk was basically unusable as the ladder was at the foot of the bed and it was pushed up against the wall. The furniture was too heavy to move. Bedroom 2: Main level. Double bed. There is no dresser or closet in the room. We had to leave our luggage on the floor (which basically took up all the floor space) for the week. Also, there are no electrical outlets in the room. Not ideal as the occupant needed a CPAP. Bedroom 3: Main level. Full bed with a twin bunk. We were able to access the bunk in this room. Again, there was a small dresser in the room but the drawers were full of pillows. Bedroom 4: Lower level. Full bed. There is no closet and no dresser in the room. We had to put our luggage under the stairs and live out of that for the week. Bedroom 5: Lower level. Full bed. Again, no dresser and no closet in the room. There is a large box built into the wall right above the bed. I think this contained some kind of mechanicals. When the water in the kitchen was turned on, it sounded like someone was hammering in that box. Bathrooms: Bath 1 on the main level is functional but very dated. Bath 2 on the lower level is updated. Huge gap in the lower level door. Owners stuffed a towel in the gap. Lots of bugs still got in. Far too overpriced for what you get!

The only issue we had is that there was no designated parking for our cabin. All of the other cabins on the property had parking but ours did not. We arrived late at night and we brought our fishing boat with us so trying to figure this out in the dark without waking everyone up in the other cabins was a little annoying. It would have been helpful to have a heads up on the parking situation for this cabin prior to arrival. Everything else was great!

Reviewer Comments: We've stayed at Pride of the North Resort, now namedBirchwood Resort, ten times and find it very favorable for dining out and fishing and also for the beautiful surrounding north woods area.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our stay at Birchwood #4 was a little more rustic than we had planned for, but was nice nonetheless. We were able to be on the boat outside most of the time which was very nice. For some reason on the 1st night of our stay their construction crews were hammering and sawing next door well into the night/next morning. That was unpleasant and kept ourselves and our dog awake for most of that night. We also managed to get a nail in our tire from said construction. The stay other than that was nice. Would be curious to see what all the cabins look like after renovations.
