We enjoyed a fantastic stay at Pinecone Retreat. The cabin was immaculate, and extremely well-stocked in terms of cooking, cleaning supplies, etc. I really enjoyed the direct lakefront access and pier for docking my boat. There was absolutely nothing lacking to make our stay thoroughly enjoyable. I'm familiar with the Birchwood area and have stayed on this lake several times in past years, and this is the experience that lived up to my preconceived standards. The owner is a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend this property. We will most certainly return to the Pinecone Retreat in future years.

Gorgeous family-friendly cabin in pristine condition. I especially appreciated the quality cookware that was provided. The lake was quiet and peaceful. Lake access from the cabin was just down the hill. Hummingbirds were very active when we were there and were constantly approaching the feeders, so that was cool to see. Would definitely return!

Wonderful Stay!

We stayed at a the Pinecone Retreat over the 4th with a group of friends and had an awesome time. The property had lake access, which was perfect for swimming and relaxing during the day. There was also a bar close by, which made drinks and entertainment super convenient. The whole atmosphere was fun and relaxing, it was a great place to kick back and celebrate the holiday. Additionally Jean was great to communicate with and was a great host! Would definitely come back!!!

Fun family getaway!

The cabin met our needs perfectly for a family weekend getaway with grandma and grandpa! The kitchen is fully stocked-more than any other that I’ve been to, 2 levels of spaces and bedrooms is great for families, and the community amenities are a major bonus-fishing, swing set for the kids, and a restaurant! The beach area shown in the photos is just gravel now so bring water shoes! Overall a great place that we would come back to if the opportunity arose!

Again a perfect stay!

This is our second time visiting Pinecone Retreat. What a wonderful place to stay. Everything was excellent, from the decor to the comfort of the lodging to the access to Spider Lake. We took all 5 of our kids and had such an excellent time from visiting Hayward to fishing every day on the lake. The loons were pretty thick this time up there - what a treat to hear them. We caught and cooked crappie most of the week. We also enjoyed visiting Spider Lake Saloon which is only a short walk away from the house. Great stay - we look forward to booking again for next year.

Beautiful cabin

The cabin was beautiful and comfortable. It was clean and stocked with beach toys, all kinds of kitchen gadgets, extra pillows and blankets, and plenty of towels. There was a private dock that worked well for our 17’ boat. There was a walk downhill to the dock from the cabin. No steps, but something that could be difficult for others. My only complaint would be that the beach in the photos of the listing is no longer representative of the beach that exists. This was a big disappointment for us as we had 4 children really looking forward to the beach. It was maybe a 1.5’x10’ area with gravelly sand. Not nice to play in at all. The other thing I would advise to others is that if you bring a boat, make sure your vehicle has 4 wheel drive. We were so glad to have our truck and needed to use the 4WD to get out of the boat landing area. We saw another vehicle get stuck and had to be pulled out. The fishing on the lake was so fun! Lots of pan fish so the kids had a blast. We were able to navigate through the channels to get to other parts of Spider Lake. The lake was clear and clean as it is spring fed. We had a really nice time and would definitely go back.

We had a great time with our 10 year old granddaughter. She loved the pedal boat and fishing off the dock. If you like to cook, you will have no problem here. The kitchen has every conceivable pot, pan and utensils you could ever want! The lodge is a short walk away for drinks and meals. Highly recommend a stay here to others.

Wonderful place to stay

The property was absolutely perfect. The decor was so well done and fitting for the location. The cabin was roomy and it was great it had two levels to us parents from the kids ;) Loved that there was a washer and dryer provided and had great access to Spider Lake. Thank you for the memories! The only confusion I had is I didn't get any initial instructions from VRBO prior to us getting there. I had to call Jean to get instructions once we were onsight. It all worked out fine though - GREAT STAY!
