Beautiful Birchwood Lake Cabin; Awesome Fishing & Sunsets, plus game room!

**Escape to Your Northwoods Getaway on Big Lake Chetac – Birchwood, Wisconsin**

Whether you’re here for the American Birkebeiner, a fishing weekend, a summer lake vacation, ATV/UTV trip or a snowy escape—this home is your perfect Northwoods basecamp. Create lasting memories in a peaceful setting surrounded by water, woods, and the beauty of every season.

Available year-round, this spacious 4-bedroom, 3-bath chalet-style retreat offers everything you need for a relaxing or adventure-filled getaway. Nestled on a private peninsula with **575 feet of level lakefront**, the property offers **panoramic views of Big Lake Chetac**, two private docks, and endless ways to connect with nature—or simply unwind in comfort.

Inside the Chalet:
Enjoy cozy mornings by the **stone fireplace**, lazy afternoons in the **three-season porch**, and unforgettable evenings on the **large lakeview deck**, perfect for grilling, gathering, or gazing at the stars. The home features:

**Main Floor**: Fully stocked kitchen has modern appliances, full bath (tub/shower), Bedroom 1 (Queen), Bedroom 2 (Twin over Full + trundle), and a Queen sleeper sofa in the living room.

* Cross-country skiing right out the back door, or on nearby trails like Nordic Woods or the iconic **Birkebeiner Trail**—Cable is only 40 miles away

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!

The perfect getaway

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!
