    Place was great for a big group. Hacksack has a lot to offer, ice cream shop was a hit with the kids. Great location on lake. Good fishing!

    This house is perfect for all ages! It was nice to have the guest house for the kids to hang out in and watch movies during our rainy days, along with the garage full of games. We had a great time!

    We stayed the 2nd week of July, the weather was perfect! Our ages ranged from 2 1/2 to 65, three small grandchildren & 7 adults and 2 pets. Everyone appreciated the amenities this property afforded us. We all had a great time and did not want to leave. We were able to dock 3 boats, swam, fished, snorkeled, water skied, kayaked and played on the bank of the lake and in the yard. The hard sandy bottom and clean water lake is a must for our group! We enjoyed time on the large lakeside deck and ate most of our meals there taking in the beautiful view of Birch Lake. Thank you Julie for your attention to detail, thoughtfulness and our pleasant communications. We highly recommend this property, found it to be very accommodating and as advertised!

    Very comfortable place for teens through seniors. Lots of kayaks and swimming toys and lots of little sunnies to catch off the dock. The big dining room table was great for playing games.

    Our family rents a cabin every week for the 4th of July. This property did not disappoint. There is plenty of space with 5 bedrooms between the main house and bunk house. There are plenty of games in the garage and house for rainy days. The beach area and lake are gorgeous. Birch lake is truly a gem. Owners are excellent in communication; the entire rental was seamless and easy. Will definitely be coming back

    The lake and island view from the large deck is fantastic. The lodge is well equipped and our family group (all over 55) appreciated the views and accommodations.

    This place was perfect for our two families. The spaces were clean, the setting is beautiful, and everything was in great working order. We stayed during some super hot days, and the AC kept the indoors very comfortable (both buildings). Lots of great things about this property, but the location was superb. Birch Lake was a beautiful lake to fish and boat on, and even though the property feels very private, you are only 5 miles from town. I would definitely stay here again!

    The property had everything we needed for a fantastic weeks vacation! Accommodations were just as described and the lake is beautiful. Julie was very quick to respond to questions. I highly recommend this VRBO - we would rent again!

    The property was amazing. Lots of beds for everyone. The kitchen was stocked with plenty of dishes, silverware, pots, and pans. There were kayaks and a canoe that our Gen Zs loved. Nighttime campfires were the best. Julie is an amazing host and the most communicative in my experience with rentals. No one wanted to leave as it was such a great time. We will definitely be back!

    We all loved staying at this property. You can look down at the lakefront from the comfy rockers inside or from the beautiful, huge, new deck (that extends along the whole front of the home) or from the grassy slope halfway to the lake or on the study dock. The home is located on a bay in Birch Lake which opens into big Birch Lake and then into little Birch Lake, plenty of room for fishing, boating, skiing, etc. The home is spacious with a large dining table with 8 chairs, a large sectional (very comfy), a futon, above mentioned rockers, three bedrooms and two full baths. The kitchen is stocked with plenty of dishes, silverware and good pots & pans. You will find everything you might need for cooking here. We also rented the guest house for additional family members and it was perfect: two more bedrooms and another bathroom. The garage holds ping-pong, pool table, foozball, basketball and more. We enjoyed it all while it rained outside. We all want to come back to this lake house. It is perfect for us.
