About this property

Family log home nestled in the woods just minutes from trails.

Our Log home in the woods!

The home is located east of Birchwood in the woods but with in walking distance of the dock on Big Chetac with your own access to the lake.

The home is nestled in a beautiful wooded lot. The view is of sunrises from the screen porch while enjoying your morning coffee!! Quiet and peaceful describe the location. We have added air conditioning for the hot summer days.

The lower level is a walk out to your own fire pit with an endless supply of wood right there in the wood shed.

The home has walking trails or winter snow shoeing on approximately 40 acres. There are several trails, one leading to the creek where you have a couple of benches to sit and take in Mother Nature. The woods are full
of wild life. (Turkeys, deer , fox , eagles etc.)

Linda was a wonderful host. She came over and introduced herself and let us know that we could reach out if we needed anything. We had an unexpected power outage and they made sure that the generator was up and running so that we had power. The cabin was beautiful and perfect for what we needed when visiting family in the area. We would love to stay here again!

Extended Family Trip to the Woods...

We had a small family reunion that took place at a Lake about 20 minutes from Linda's rental. I needed something close for us to stay at for a long weekend with my family and my brother's family. It was a perfect location and the property is beautiful. Linda is a wonderful host. Highly recommend.

The cabin was the perfect place to getaway and enjoy the lake. The cabin was big and meet the groups needs. The fire pit was ready to burn for us when we got there. I would love to stay here again! Recommend this place for everyone. The Host Linda was the best host I've ever met.

Winter Wonderland

We had such a wonderful weekend. We needed a place to stay last minute for the Birkie, and the owner was very accommodating when we asked to adjust our booking due to the snow storm. The cabin is so nice and clean! We loved sitting downstairs by the fireplace and enjoying nature’s beauty. I’m sure it’s even better in the summer with that screened in porch and walk out. Would love to go back!

Retired couple with an empty nest keeping busy with many projects around our lovely lake property.

Why they chose this property

We have 40 acres of woods with trails a creek as well as waterfront access with a private dock for all your boating needs.

What makes this property unique

While this property isn't on the lake, it is across the street nestled into the woods overlooking a slew filled with various species of birds with access to trails right out the front and back doors. If you're into boating and fishing this property also comes with a private dock that is located on the lake side, so you can enjoy the best of both worlds! Lake action during the day and woods in the evening.
