About this property
3 ft from water - tiny house with everything you need
Birch is a studio built in 2017 - square log construction. Many guests describe Birch like being on a houseboat. When you sit on the couch or glider rocker, you can only see water. Complete kitchen with microwave, full refrigerator, dishwasher and range. There is a place for everything. This is a more private location at the very east end of the resort. It’s also our closest cabin to Big Sand Lake–about 3 feet. When you look out the huge front windows, it looks like your floating on the water. The Birch studio home is a favorite for cuddling couples and small families.
Our Pine Cone Lodge Resort is located between two lakes! More rustic and scenic Loon/Thomas Lake is shallower and great for bass and panfish. It does not have public access. There is public access on Big Sand Lake on the south-east shore.
This property is not available for VRBO rentals in the summer Memorial Day through Labor Day. We hope you try out this property at Pine Cone Lodge during the fall, winter or spring.
Sleeping arrangement: Queen bed and the Loft above has a twin bed.
Daily visitors are $15/day that you pay during stay.
Dog fee is for only 1 dog.

About the host
Hosted by Bonnie Brand
The Brand family has owned Pine Cone Lodge and Vacation Rentals since 1960 with the third generation starting in 1995. We have changed the resort to be more of a vacation home getaway for our guests. We have removed the old cabins and built homes that are open year round. New homes with the beautiful scenery and lakeshore make a wonderful vacation spot.
