This cozy cabin was an amazing stay for my friends/family and I. The lake view was amazing during sunset on the balcony. We had a blast in the cabin and also out on the lake! Tom is a superb host! He was very responsive and accommodating. We forgot some things but he had all the appliances we needed to make it work. I will definitely be booking with him again!

Every year my two brothers, my sister and I along with our spouses get together for a few days. We’ve stayed at various places around Minnesota and we all agreed that this log cabin was by far the best. We all loved our stay! The cabin is beautiful, the location and view are great. Tom our host was available to help us with whatever we might need. Definitely a 5 star stay!

What a place, what a host! A fully stocked, lap-of-luxury cabin secluded in the woods with its own dock, and a quick drive to food and fun. Tom is the best kind of host: responsive and helpful. Will be back!

We had a fantastic stay for our family of seven adults at this beautiful log home! Communication was excellent throughout, and the house was a clean, comfortable, welcoming space. The extra touches like an abundance of soft towels, kitchen essentials, ice maker, and a beverage fridge made everything so convenient. Outdoor amenities were top-notch too, with plenty of firewood and comfy seating. The beds were comfortable and the air conditioning worked great. The lake was peaceful and clean—perfect if you have access to a boat (we loved our pontoon from a local rental!). Just keep in mind that the steps down to the lake are quite a workout, especially for older guests or anyone with mobility concerns. Highly recommend!

We highly recommend Tom’s log cabin! Highlights include an airy, modern main floor, plenty of space to sprawl, a well-equipped kitchen, and a beautiful patio area with a fire pit. Little Birch Lake was great for kayaking. Finally, we appreciated Tom’s communication and accommodations for our needs.
