About this property

True Cabin on a clear, sand bottom lake. 5 boat types for you. Even a sauna.

Whether you’re in need of a romantic getaway, a summer water sports vacation, a great fishing trip, or a snowmobiling home base, Birchwood Cabin is perfect for your Northwoods enjoyment. Located in the heart of historic Rhinelander & Eagle River area in northern Wisconsin, the Birchwood Cabin is one of the Burr Valley Cottages, established in 1924 by Valerie Burrell.

The Birchwood Cabin offers many unique features. The rental cabin includes a cozy 900 square foot first floor and 500 square foot loft space. The three bedrooms sleep up to 10 people (3 full beds, 2 twin beds; including 2 modern Murphy beds and rustic log futon for multifunctional use). The east bedroom and living room boast a view of Sugar Camp Lake providing a true lakefront cabin experience.

Our rustic log cabin offers the comforts of home with linens (bedding and towels) and a kitchen with a coffee maker, toaster, cookware, utensils, etc. only steps from nature. We supply the traditional rustic decor and plank paneling, you bring the plaid. During the summer, you will enjoy the use of a paddleboat, aluminum rowboat (motors are available nearby for rent) and an aluminum canoe in Sugar Camp Lake. In the winter, the wood-burning stove will warm you after a day of snowmobiling or ice fishing.

Not a bad cabin, but other cabins on each side less than 10 feet away, no designated parking, and someone came out upset over where we were parked because “that’s usually where they park”?? Front door opens up IN the bathroom, so you have to walk through the bathroom to get in and out of the front of the cabin, and beach is a few cabins over. A little disappointing, cabin was decent. A deep cleaning hadn’t been done in quite some time, cobwebs and the such around. Just not worth quite as much money and we paid. The boats and paddleboard were fun though.

Beautiful Area
First of all the property wasn't listed correct with the correct directions to it. Then it was hard to get a hold of the owner to get the correct directions. When I did get ahold of him he had said that he had emailed me directions and other instructions. We never received such email. We had to contact him for correct directions not once but twice. Being unfamiliar with the area was to our disadvantage. The cabin itself was Charming. The beach that was in the resort was awesome the playground area was really nice our kids had a blast and played from sunup till sundown. The fishing was awesome. We rented a pontoon boat to take our family out, with Dave Rents Boats in Eagle River who has a 5-star rating with Google and we agree. Dave was super nice and accommodating he brought the boat right to us and picked it up. Over all a great week with our family.

Family fishing trip
This is a wonderfully quirky cabin in a great little community with direct lake access. We had 4 in our group (2 adults, 2 kids ages 6 and 9) and could have added a few more. However access to the loft and bedroom is by ladder - this was no problem at all for us but families with elderly members may need to factor in sleeping arrangements on the 1st floor for them (2 full size beds plus a futon to choose from on the 1st floor though). Showering may be tougher for older family members - the clawfoot tub is really cool but slippery and would be tough to get in and out of for anyone with mobility restrictions It was no trouble for our family though. The ladder stowed away safely and was too heavy for our kids to move so no concerns there. Sunrise out the front bedroom window was stunning! Huge success fishing walleye and bass on the other side of the lake - even still found bluegill up on beds, but other residents said some years the water is not high enough to allow you to cross to that side. Water on the cabin side of the lake was clear and beautiful for swimming, not as good for fishing. Some water skiers and jet skiers but not overly crowded at all. Great sandy beach right on property. Easy boat launch there too. We docked our boat right in front of the cabin. Cabin was well equipped with dishes, towels and all we needed. Kitchen is small (it should be in a cabin!) but space was really efficiently used and we cooked in or grilled out all meals with no trouble. Neighbors were really friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Day trip to Bond Falls and up to Ontonagon was great too. In total, great cabin, great lake, great community!

Our cozy x-country ski weekend retreat!
Our group of 6-9 friends has been returning to the Birchwood Cabin for years because it makes the perfect headquarters for our annual North Woods get-away. It's everything you want in a cabin - cozy, comfy, rustic (but not TOO rustic), fun, and in a great location. We've never been there in the summer, but in the winter, it's a snowy wonderland with great skiing right out the door on the lake. The sauna and wood stove are delightful and the kitchen is sufficient for cooking up our big feasts. The place is by no means large or grand...that's not the point...but for a group of 8 or less, it's perfect. The owner is delightful and responsive and easy to work with, and the price is totally reasonable.
