About the host

This is my families summer home. I have spent every summer since I was a child on Thompson Lake. I now have children and we have wonderful memories of Birch Island and this lake. It is a beautiful and serene lake. We love paddle boarding, tubing, and just enjoying the view from the deck. This is one of the most special places and a wonderful place to create family memories.

Why they chose this property

The island was my mother's dream. She bought the island and designed and built the house. It was quite an undertaking moving the heavy logs over the ice in the winter and running electricity under water! But the end result was a stunning setting and beautiful unique spot. It is peaceful and serene and makes for a wonderful get-away from it all. But with the water activities, it is also a fun place for the family. We have very happy memories in this house!

What makes this property unique

The house has a lot of character starting with the log-cabin A-frame design. The cathedral ceilings with glassed frontage bring tons of natural light and expanse. The center of the home housing a massive hand-picked stone fireplace. The views of the water are all setting doesn't get any better then this!

The property is wooded with many wild blue berry bushes for the picking. You can get plenty of sun but also nicely shaded. We have waterfront surrounding and water views from basically every room. It is a quiet oasis.
