Very clean, whole property is well kept, owners are readily available and we enjoyed visiting with them on the pier over coffee. The bed is comfortable and the kitchen well stocked, the view of the lake from the cottage is amazing Very quiet for sleeping and convenient to Manitowish Waters for shopping.
Everything about our stay at the cozy lakeside cabin on Manitowish Lake was WONDERFUL! The accommodations were clean, well appointed and very convenient to the lakeside. The outside property was beautiful and well-maintained. The hosts went out of their way to make sure everything about our stay was perfect. This property is a Gem! Treat yourself to the experience.

Pal and Sheri were two guests we want to return due to the exciting experiences they shared with us while renting Birchwood Cabin! They are the consummate fishermen and lady and taught me how to catch big fish on the Chain. We want them back because their life style and interests fit in perfectly with our Lake Experience here at Birchwood! See you next year and book early 11 Dr Tom and Karen Everson

We thoroughly enjoyed having Bob and Sherlene as guests at our Birchwood Cottage property! We had several conversations reminiscing about the Manitowish and Winchester areas they used to be a part of before moving to Eugene , Oregon. We certainly welcome them back in the future! Dr Tom and Karen Everson
We loved every minute of our vacation. Cabin was absolutely perfect and the lakes are gorgeous. Tom and Karen are wonderful people and we enjoyed visiting with them. They have everything you need to make your stay very enjoyable.
We had a wonderful vacation. The cabin was very nice and the property managers were very accommodating. Everything was beautiful including the view out the front patio door which looks out onto the lake

Very respectful of our property and we will rent to Jill in future! Dr Tom and Karen Everson
The studio cabin is just as described with Tom and Karen being great host. With great weather and the availability of a fishing boat and having a campfire made the experience even more wonderful. We will be back soon.

About the host
Hosted by thomas
I, Tom (Dr Cheese), am a retired, third-generation cheesemaker from central Wisconsin, earning my PhD from the Department of Food Science at UW-Madison. My career was devoted in it's entirety to the art of cheesemaking, specifically research and quality control for local Wisconsin companies. Hence the photo of the wood burning oven which is a feature in our cabin where my wife, Karen, and I pursue our hobby of pizza making and wood-oven delicacies when our friends and family gather - the cabin then is humorously referred to as 'PIZZA AND PAD' ! Karen and I have been bringing our family up to the north woods area to vacation for years and years so it was without hesitation that we chose this area to retire. Now we are blessed to spend all of our time in the splendor of the four seasons her in northern Wisconsin. We feel especially blessed to be able to share Birchwood with guests.
Why they chose this property
Relaxing and enjoying the serenity of the north after a long day of fishing and swimming is what you will experience here at Birchwood Cabin. However, you do not have to be a fisherman to enjoy our area. The Manitowish Waters (MW) community flourishes with activities all year around. The community park offers seasonal 'Music in the Park' on Sundays; and many guests take in the local water skiers shows on nearby Rest Lake (accessible by auto or boat). Multiple wonderful restaurants are available close by - also by auto or boat. The MW Discovery Center offers opportunities for informative and educational sessions on subjects of nature. Available on the grounds of the Center are walking and hiking, kayaking and canoeing, etc. There are miles of beautifully paved and safe navigating bike trails very near our cabin that traverse users into beautiful north woods scenery and along picturesque roadways. For flea market enthusiasts, seasonal Thursday mornings the MW Lions offer a 'shopping experience' of multiple crafts and great vegetables and produce from all over Central Wisconsin. The flea market is located less than three miles from Birchwood. Also available is nearby grocery stores that can supply your every vacation need. We have fine shopping in gift/home decorating boutiques right in the community. For reading enthusiast, our community library is close by and offers a full library selection of reading materials. Two airports are available - MW air port and Rhinelander International airport.
What makes this property unique
Uniqueness of our vacation spot provides our guests with a quiet and serene getaway, campfire chats, constellation views from the pier, sunrises and sunsets, a good book or a long nap on the shaded hammock. Come and enjoy!
