It’s a nice property, the house was clean and plenty of room for my family. The pool and foosball tables were a plus that I wasn’t expecting. This was the first properties we have stayed at where had to run the dishwasher before we left and put all the cleaned dishes away. Usually we only had to load and run the dishwasher. Also the owner did tell us that we had to go across the lake with our trash or take it home with us. All this should have been on the property details not sent separately with instructions. If it had been in details I may off looked elsewhere.

Great fishing, very relaxing, beautiful location

We had such an awesome time here! The place was super cozy, clean, and had everything we needed. The location was perfect, and we really felt at home the whole time. It was just right for a relaxing getaway. The blue gill fishing next to the doc was fantastic, our poles barely hit the water and we were already reeling them in. Kid approved. The only tiny things to mention: the sliding doors on the main floor were a little tricky to open, and the pool table balls kept getting stuck.Overall we would definitely come back!

Perfect lake house vacation!

12/10 recommend staying here!! Our AZ family spent a week here and we didn’t want to leave. The home itself has everything you need and exceeded our expectations with the lake life amenities. It was incredibly quiet and peaceful. Our family was able to enjoy fishing off the dock, cooking like at home, playing games at night and fires outside after the amazing sunsets. Core memories were made by our children and we can’t wait to come back again! Hosts were great with communication about my silly questions and we loved every second!

A Great Northwoods Retreat

The property and area were equally gorgeous, serving as an excellent introduction to the state of Wisconsin for friends that had never before been. We had an excellent time on Lake Chetac, with fishing and water sports consuming our days. The cabin accommodated our guests and perfectly served as an environment to reconnect with friends from all over as well as fostering new relationships with friends who were not as close.If you are looking for a relaxing, engaging, and serene experience, I would highly recommend booking.

Very nice house situated right on lake. Short walk to stairs and a boat dock and a short walk down a path to the other side of property and another dock (where some nice bass were landed.)Plenty of room, ample kitchenware and nice supply of TP, paper towels, napkins, soaps and gas for the griddle on the deck. 6 male adults stayed 6 days and fished, played pool, foosball, bags, etc. Made all but one meal in the house.Everyone had favorable comments on house and property.

Great stay!

A great place to stay in Birchwood with friends and family. The place was clean and had everything that we needed to make us feel at home. The host was friendly, helpful, and accommodating at every point during the booking process. The only issue we came across was the slightly confusing access road...perhaps additional signage would help clarify direction toward the property a bit better. Otherwise, no complaints! Thanks for a great stay!

Beautiful Quiet Home

We enjoyed our stay overall. When we arrived we had to contact the owner to turn the air on as it was in the 80s and very warm in the home, we could not get the DISH TVs to work the entire stay and when I text the owners they never replied. The day before we left there was no WiFi. The advertisement lists 5 bedrooms. There are 3 bedrooms, an open loft and a pull out sofa bed in the living room. The house is stocked full of dishes and cookware. The view is amazing, the area is quiet. It is tricky to get there the first time and after dark but overall we all had a lovely stay for my daughter’s wedding.

2nd time staying in this home, loved it all over again!

We stayed in this home two years ago and booked for the next year during our stay. Family circumstances kept us from making the trip but the owners were so very kind to let us book for the next year instead! They are so easy to deal with & their home was perfect for our growing adult family. Having two docks is nice so we can spread out and still have a place to tie up our boat. The launch is very close to the property and the comfort of the home made us want to stay longer than we could! Love it!

Great getaway with Family

The cabin was fantastic! The view was great. The kids loved fishing off the two docks. The dock in the bay worked well for our two boats. All the rooms were setup well. We loved using the Blackstone grill outside, we were able to cook almost all of our meals on it. The lower level was nice with the big TV and games. Everything was clean and ready for our stay. Thank you for sharing your cabin we really enjoyed our stay!

3 bedrooms + open loft

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.

Lovely Lakefront Life

I have no issues to report with the house - a lovely 3 level with 3 full bathrooms, two major living areas including a large basement level with a foosball and pool table, a blackstone-style grill on the deck, and lovely outdoor space. Important things to know for future visitors (which is called out in their pamphlet) - the freezer cannot be hooked up to the water line so make sure you bring your own ice. Also while there are some pantry staples they mostly are limited to some salt, black pepper, garlic salt, a half bag of flour, and a thing of vegetable oil. Most food places are 15+ minutes from the house, so just be intentional when planning your trips and you'll be fine! Trash does not get picked up so you will need to pack it out. Otherwise all rules are reasonable and no crazy cleaning requests. House was stocked with plenty of towels, beds and couches were comfortable. Easy to have a good time with people you love in any weather. If there is ever cause to get together in that area again would absolutely stay here a second time.

This was our second stay in this lovely home, and it was a fantastic week! The house is well stocked with kitchen items, from a crock pot to coffee maker… we appreciate how well stocked it is. The location on the lake is prime, as you have two docks, and the sunset views are just stunning from the deck. Utilized the kayaks and caught a good amount of Northern right off the point!
