We walked into this cabin and the first words out of my mouth were “WOW!” The scenery cannot be beat, our hosts were incredibly helpful and kind, and the cabin quickly felt like a second home. Anyone who stays here will never want to leave the tranquility and peace that being here will bring you.

Big Birch Lake
Dawn was SUPER helpful and accommodating. The View from those windows in the cabin is UNBEATABLE. The beds were more comfortable than mine at home. Lots of antiques and historical decor really made it feel like stepping back in time, and yet every modern convenience is there.The lake has some good hot spots for fishing and many boat ramps for launching. Recomend driving your boat to the other side of the lake and docking for a meal and drinks at the Historical Rock Tavern. Also, if you are fishing get your bait in Sauk Center at Fletchers bait shop, Mr. Fletcher is very knowledgeable. Over all it was a great place with hosts who really care. We WILL be back!

fishing trip
The cabin does have a dock and a fishing cleaning table with water hose. It does have a fire stick for TV etc. Dawn is the host with Rocky her husband and they were very helpful in all things. The fire pit was supplied with all the wood you wanted.

Perfect get away
The house was well furnished and decorated so quaintly. Even though there's a breezeway that attaches the rental to the owner's home, it was very private; basically just like any next door neighbor. The hosts were very hospitable and available, but not intrusive at all. The lakeside setting was peaceful and the big windows have a stunning view of sunsets!
