Full front windows looking at beautiful Big Birch Lake. 40 minutes from St Cloud, 1 1/2 hours from Minneapolis, 20 minutes (9 miles) to Sauk Centre. Paved driveway and parking off of a quiet paved road. Summer fun, fall colors, winter snowmobiling, ice fishing. Any time of year is amazing! Comfy couches, nostalgic hard wood floors throughout. Two bedrooms, one bath, kitchen, dining area that seats 8. Sleeps 6 very comfortably with a queen bed, a twin over double bunk bed, a twin daybed with twin trundle, can sleep 8 with the big couch looking out at the lake. Fully stocked kitchen with stove, fridge, microwave, pots, pans, dishes, utensils, towels, coffee maker, French press, toaster, crock pot, paper towels etc. Bath towels and linens included. Minutes from Big Birch State forest with hiking and biking trails galore. Bring your boat or rent our pontoon boat. You will have a dock out front.

We live next door and share our small beach with you. There is a breezeway connection between the two homes, but the cabin is in no way connected to our house. It is completely separate. You will have a fire pit, wood & a propane grill. If you have any requests, just ask, and we will do our best to accommodate you!

5 Stars!
We walked into this cabin and the first words out of my mouth were “WOW!” The scenery cannot be beat, our hosts were incredibly helpful and kind, and the cabin quickly felt like a second home. Anyone who stays here will never want to leave the tranquility and peace that being here will bring you.

Wonderful Stay
Our family had an amazing vacation at this property. The owners went above and beyond and everything was great. I would highly recommend staying at this location/rental if you are looking for chill, relaxation, and a fun beach area and memories to be made with your family!

Why they chose this property

This cabin is so beautiful and ready to go for any fun or relaxing experience you have in mind! We are crazy about making sure it meets your expectations. Send me a message and ask any questions you might have. I typically respond without an hour. The state park with trails, camping, and boat landing is just a couple of miles away. The historic Rock Tavern is on the lake with access by boat for dining or drinks on the deck. We have a pontoon available for you to rent. There are snowmobile rentals right here on the lake. Ice fishing in the winter is excellent! The Wobegon trail is 6 miles away with miles and miles of bike trails to take you anywhere you want to go! We supply you with firewood for the outdoor firepit, a grill, charcoal, your own dock and fishing boat lift, a 20' lilypad float, and lawn chairs..if you are looking for more, let us know and we will do everything we can to accommodate!
