Beautiful Birchwood Lake Cabin; Awesome Fishing & Sunsets, plus game room!
**Escape to Your Northwoods Getaway on Big Lake Chetac – Birchwood, Wisconsin**
Whether you’re here for the American Birkebeiner, a fishing weekend, a summer lake vacation, ATV/UTV trip or a snowy escape—this home is your perfect Northwoods basecamp. Create lasting memories in a peaceful setting surrounded by water, woods, and the beauty of every season.
Available year-round, this spacious 4-bedroom, 3-bath chalet-style retreat offers everything you need for a relaxing or adventure-filled getaway. Nestled on a private peninsula with **575 feet of level lakefront**, the property offers **panoramic views of Big Lake Chetac**, two private docks, and endless ways to connect with nature—or simply unwind in comfort.
Inside the Chalet:
Enjoy cozy mornings by the **stone fireplace**, lazy afternoons in the **three-season porch**, and unforgettable evenings on the **large lakeview deck**, perfect for grilling, gathering, or gazing at the stars. The home features:
**Main Floor**: Fully stocked kitchen has modern appliances, full bath (tub/shower), Bedroom 1 (Queen), Bedroom 2 (Twin over Full + trundle), and a Queen sleeper sofa in the living room.
**Loft**: Two Queen beds, walk-in closet, and private bathroom with shower.
**Lower Level**: Bedroom w/Queen, full bath, laundry room, and a **fun-filled rec room** with pool table, foosball, wet bar, and big-screen TV for movie nights.

* Two docks - perfect for fishing, docking your boat, or just soaking up the sun
* Direct lake access for swimming, kayaking, canoeing, water skiing, or pontooning
* Pontoon and boat rentals nearby at Fred Thomas Resort or Ri-shell’s Echo Bay Resort
Big Lake Chetac Highlights:
At over 2,400 acres, Chetac Lake is a **fisherman’s paradise**, home to walleye, northern pike, largemouth and smallmouth bass, and panfish. Whether casting from the dock or ice fishing in winter, there's always a bite waiting.
Winter Wonderland:
Once the snow falls, the fun only grows:
* Hundreds of miles of **snowmobile trails** connect you to one of the Midwest's largest networks
* Cross-country skiing right out the back door, or on nearby trails like Nordic Woods or the iconic **Birkebeiner Trail**—Cable is only 40 miles away
