About this property

Yellow Birch Lodge - Private Vacation Rental Home

This Eagle River, Wisconsin vacation rental home is located on Yellow Birch Lake, part of the world's largest inland chain of 28 lakes in Eagle River Wisconsin. Yellow Birch Lodge sits on a secluded two acre wooded site on a semi-private bay.

The seven bedroom, four bathroom executive home also has a large sleeping loft for kids and offers the ideal Northwoods setting. All three stories overlook the lake and the surrounding forest. Some amenities include a large stone wood burning fireplace, a covered boat dock, multiple living spaces and a fire pit area to share all the day's adventures while roasting marshmallows. During your stay there are multiple water toys provided for you to enjoy such as three double kayaks, two single kayaks, two Great Lakes paddle boards, a rowboat, a canoe and an Otter Island swim raft. We have a large Weber gas grill and for you Grill Masters, we have added a Santa Maria Grill (see the grill in the photo section) to allow our guests to also enjoy charcoal or wood-fired cooking. A very large grill that can accommodate large groups.

You are literally within walking distance of Eagle River's celebrated 18 hole championship golf course (we highly recommend their Bloody Marys BTW) and a couple minutes by car from downtown Eagle River with its excellent shopping and dining options. Yellow Birch Lodge is just off the snowmobile trail system which offers some of the best groomed trails you will find anywhere.

Whether you are looking for an action packed vacation, a corporate retreat, or simply a place to escape with friends and family to enjoy nature's finest Yellow Birch Lodge is the vacation home for you.

Perfect Retreat Location

We had 19 students and advisors for a small winter leadership retreat. The convenience of shops nearby, along with the space and beds, made the stay perfect. The wood fireplace was a plus. Overall, it was perfect for our event.

Absolutely Perfect!

This was by far the best property I've stayed at for a larger group of people. The cabin was extremely clean and provided the perfect layout of rooms/beds to accommodate all! Screened in porch was a huge benefit, no bugs! My group was a lot of fisherman so the large dock was perfect for multiple boats, jetskis, and even a pontoon. Also loved there's power by the dock to charge your boat! Will definitely stay again!

Awesome week!

Stayed with several family members and friends at the Yellow Birch Lodge for a week. Great place, amazing setting, convenient location to supper clubs and Pick N Save, etc. Rented a boat and the YBL boat slip was perfect. Mark is a great owner - very responsive and friendly. Great experience overall! Would definitely stay again.

The Big Trip III

Met all of our family needs. Loft was a great place for the kids to play. Screened in porch was awesome and the most used room. Paddle boards and paddle boat were used the most. Good covered boat dock with close electrical for charging our batteries. Swim platform was also used a lot. Located on the Eagle Chain allowed plenty of fishing spots and beautiful boat rides. Plenty of firewood and a nice fire pit got used every night. The Bunn coffee pot was excellent, fast, and used every morning. All in all, this was a great place for our family to spend 2024's The Big Trip III.

Perfect weekend

I stayed here with 15 adult family members who have been coming to the North Woods for years. The YBL was the ideal place for us. The cabin was pristine, and it was perfect for a large group such as ours. It has enough real beds for us to use, plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms so no one felt cramped, and yet plenty of common space inside and out so that people could get together. The setting was magnificent, from the dock to the fire pit to the wonderful screened in porch. It's a great spot on the local chain, but its close proximity to town is also very convenient. The property owner was immediately responsive to our every question and need. I would highly recommend the Yellow Birch Lodge to anyone and hope to stay there again in the future.

Yellow Birch Lodge was excactly what we needed...

We had a great time and there was plenty of room for our family of 23 for 5 days. We we schedule to arrive on a Wednesday but there was a blizzard in the forecast and I emailed Mark to see if we could arrive a day early and he was very accommodating. He told us we could come a day early and at no extra charge. The lodge was clean and exactly as describe online. There were plenty of towels and sheets and blankets for everyone. We loved the double washer and dryer!! The kitchen was fully stocked with everything one would need to cook with. We loved the commercial coffee maker and how fast it made coffee. Last but not least I really appreciate the speed in which our deposit was refunded back to us. Every single places we have ever stayed at took at least one week to process our refund for the deposit. Mark processed our deposit refund even before we made it home. Thanks so much for an amazing stay for our huge family. We hope to come again maybe during the warm season so we can go fishing and do water sport.

The property was absolutely gorgeous. It was able to comfortably fit 20 people with space to spare. It’s in a fantastic location with easy access to the lake, a little alcove you can swim in, and plenty of things to do (kayak, paddleboard, campfire, etc). All supplied by the VRBO. They had everything needed at the VRBO for cooking/dinnerware/etc) which was fantastic. Loved the basketball hoop and the Santa Maria grill. Communication with the owner was easy and they had very quick responses. They even sent a PDF before the stay of all the things to do, the items included, and any questions you might have. It made it very easy to plan for so we didn’t overpack. I would 100% stay here again and likely will in the future. Highly recommend.

Our stay at Yellow Birch Lodge was wonderful! There were 15 in total - grandparents, children, and grandchildren. We brought jet skis and rented a pontoon. It was a week full of love and fun - we have many wonderful memories to reflect back on. The owner (Mark) is exceptional…responding to questions or requests promptly! We enjoyed it so much, we are returning next year. Thank you Mark for your great customer service!!

Great property

Yellow Birch Lodge was terrific for our every two year family gathering. Nice lodging, wonderful location, outstanding amenities including canoes, kayaks, paddle boards etc. The owner provided exceedingly detailed instructions and information. If you go, for sure rent a pontoon boat for the duration. Near perfect, with the only issue being construction occurring next door.

Annual Family Vacation

Lodge was very spacious and clean. Owners great to work with, no issues. Property just beautiful. Great view of the water and chain. Amazing screened in porch. We spent an entire week at the cabin (12 of us, 10 adults and 2 infants). We brought jets skis, a fishing boat and rented a pontoon for the week. Plenty of room for the watercraft. The lodge provides many extras to use. I would absolutely return and plan too in the future. Our family made so many great memories. Highly recommend the Yellow Birch Lodge. Gail S
