Birkie Haven - an exceptional vacation home experience !

Birkie Haven is a quiet cabin with modern conveniences, nestled in 450 acres of forest, far away from city lights, offering privacy and tranquility — perfect for unwinding in peaceful surroundings. This two bedroom well-appointed cabin boasts 14 kilometers of trails right outside your door for hiking, biking, skiing (groomed) or snowshoeing — and the trails connect to the Birkie and CAMBA trails! You'll have access to a lockable shed for your skis, bike, waders, fishing tackle, etc. Relax by the outdoor fire pit and deck or retreat up to the cozy loft (accessible by shipladder/staircase) complete with Roku TV, board games, cards or curl up with a book and enjoy a glass of wine at the pub table overlooking the trails. There is an office area set up for Work-From-Home with free WiFi/internet (note: variable internet speed in the Northwoods). Both bedrooms have queen beds. Gas fireplace in dining area. Shower/bathtub, hair dryer, soaps. Washer/dryer. A/C and ceiling fans. Ample parking for your fishing boat. Gas grill. Kitchen is fully equipped including various coffee makers (drip, Chemex, Keurig, Pixie Nespresso). Short distance to the Namekagon River kayak and canoe launch. Five minute drive to Hayward for dining, shopping, Fishing Hall of Fame, miniature golf, go carts. No smoking, no pets. Damage deposit withheld for smoking or pet situations. Not suitable for young children due to the ship ladder access to the loft. Thank you for viewing and we look forward to your visit.

This cabin is amazing! Absolutely spotless, beautiful, & cozy. We enjoyed being able to walk out the front door and get on some great hiking trails. Super close to downtown Hayward. Jennifer was so kind and communicative. We can't wait to go back!

Our 2nd time staying at Birkie Haven was as great as the first time several years ago! Clean, comfortable beds, well-supplied kitchen and bathroom and love having a shed for bike storage!Close to Hayward and CAMBA mtb trails. Close enough to Copper Falls State Park and Madeline Island for day trips.

Cozy home base

We loved this property!! We celebrated my husbands birthday with our best friends. Close to Hayward and the Namekogen River, this was the perfect home base for our adventures! Everything was as described, beautiful home, great kitchen and comfortable beds! Host was super helpful and prompt to respond to messages. We would definitely stay here again

Amazing little cabin in the woods!

Lovely, new, clean and beautiful cabin for a friend’s getaway in the woods. The plan was to eat good food, have quality outdoor time and enjoy friends. We walked out the front door and were able to snowshoe on the shared groomed trails surrounding the neighborhood. The cabin had everything you need! The only caution would be the sitting area is in a loft accessible by a ladder so if you aren’t super mobile it might not be the best spot for you, but we loved it! The host was super helpful and responsive to any, silly, questions we had!! It was perfect!

Impeccable and charming

I’ve been using Vrbo to book places for the past five years and keep striking out. Mice issues, no heat or limited heat (locked box we could not adjust) are just some of the issues we’ve ran into (we visit in February to ice fish). I’m happy to say we found a gem of place this time.The space was perfect for us and had enough room for everything we needed.The amenities were solid and the place is very nice. Additionally, the property manager was incredibly responsive and on top of everything.We didn’t use the loft but we also weren’t there long enough to need it. Its proximity to Hayward was great as well.

Birkie Haven Spring Stay

Nice, relaxing mid-May stay at the Birkie Haven for some fishing and exploring. Perfect location just outside of downtown Hayward and close to the Namekagon River and area lakes.The cabin was clean and quiet. Nestled back on a large, wooded lot. Very little traffic (15 mph speed-limit) other than the few neighbors several hundred yards away. Surrounded by countless birch trees. The occasional morning deer and numerous songbirds. Very bucolic.The Birkie Haven was as described in the listing. Very clean, multiple coffeemakers, washer/dryer, enormous smart tv, board games, wi-fi, a wonderful gas fireplace adding to the ambiance. Firepit out front with numerous Adirondack chairs. A detached storage shed (perfect to hang your waders out to dry). Ample and comfortable seating and beds.Wonderful stay, would definitely rent again.

Lovely Cabin in the Woods

We booked this cabin with the idea that we'd use it as a home base for skiing the Birkie trail, and riding the Camba trails (both of those trails connect right out the door of the Birkie Haven cabin). With the warm weather, we got in a single bad ski, and a single decent bike ride. Neither was what we were looking for, but this cabin at 'The Brook' made up for it. Everything was great. The Brook is a little community with sweet little trails all around it. The cabin was well appointed, with nice decorations, a gas fireplace, and everything you might want for a quiet few days to yourselves. It was QUIET, which was wonderful. There's a ladder to the upstairs, where the comfortable seating (couch and chairs) is located. If we come back this way, we'll surely stay here again.
