BIRCH LAKE CABIN: If you are looking for serenity and peacefulness, this is it. You can't even see your neighbors. This newly built 2 bedroom, 1 bath cabin is cute as can be. All knotty pine interior gives it that Northwoods appeal. The kids will love the cozy sleeping loft with its full log access ladder. The crawl space is lighted with easy access in the bedroom closet. Sip a cup of coffee in the morning as you peer over the lake while sitting on your deck. Then later that day grab a cocktail and light up a roaring fire in your firepit. Tho there is no fireplace the owner made a place for one to be installed. 30 concrete steps leads you to the lake and your pier, where you can watch the pan fish swim about. Here's the best part, there is barely any lawn to mow. It's cute, it's cozy and it will provide you with years of fun memories.
