Birchwood Retreat located on private Finely Lake
This two-bedroom, two-bath lake home offers peace and tranquility as it overlooks the scenic Finley Lake. Conveniently located only a few miles out of St. Germain, you’ll find a trip into the Monday morning flea market or a run for bakery and bait, which takes only minutes!
Finley Lake has no public access so while the lake offers all the fun of the bigger lakes, you won’t experience overcrowding! It’s the perfect setting for our 18' 50 hp Palm Beach pontoon boat. Whether it’s taking in the beauty of the natural scenery or sipping cocktails on a sunset cruise, a pontoon boat allows everyone to be together and enjoy the water in comfort, Don't forget to add it to your stay! There’s also good fishing right from the dock or take our rowboat out and discover a secret honey hole! If lounging in the sun is more your speed, check out our brand-new swim raft complete with a ladder for easy access!
Guests have access to the two-car garage, useful for storing the vacation extras! There’s an in-ground fire pit, a picnic table just off the front of the deck you see pictured above, and a good amount of grass for yard games. We even have a horseshoe pit for a little late afternoon competition!
This home is open year-round, and the view in winter, while obviously different from summer's lushness, is equally spectacular! The snowmobile trail is just outside your door where you can access the Bo-Boen trail system and head off in all directions out of St. Germain! Then after a full day of riding, return home where our wood-burning fireplace will warm you back up in a hurry!
Wildlife abounds at Birchwood Retreat. Sit quietly on the deck and enjoy the deer that peek out of the woods with their fawns, the majesty of the bald eagles as they dip into the water for their dinner, and of course, that inspiring call of the loons early evening.
The owners of this home have chosen to share their slice of heaven with you, our visitors to the Northwoods. So come, and experience the serenity of Finley Lake! You’ll be so glad you did.

Very comfortable well appointed home. Clean, with everything we needed for relaxing in the north woods. Located on crystal clear Finley Lake which does not have any public access, so it is private and quiet. Would definitely recommend..

We had a very nice vacation here. Lake Finley is a beautiful, peaceful and clear lake. The property which has a north woods ambience, affords a scenic overview of the lake and is convenient for nature walks. Located between St.Germain and Eagle River, there are many restaurants nearby and opportunities for other activities, i.e. miniature golf, go-karts, horse riding...Highly recommended!

My husband and I had a great week at Birchwood retreat. The fishing was great off the dock and in the boat. The stairs to the lake were a little steep for me but not a deal breaker not to return.

Reviewer Comments:
The Retreat was very clean and well stocked. Unfortunately my husband has many issues including being allergic to mold. That made us pay for a week with only 1 hour of use with the boat. Many stairs made it very difficult for my husband to get around. We loved the cabin (very clean) but doubt very much that we can go back! Sorry
The home was absolutley beautiful and very tastefully decorated. Gave it a real up north feel. The deck is amazing as we spent a lot of time there in the mornings and evenings. We grilled out almost every night. We really enjoyed seeing eagles, and deer and her 2 fawns. Along with hearing loons every day and night. The swimming area was fun more shade in the afternoon but suggest you go there between 10 and 2 for more sun. The steps leading to the dock from the yard are a little steep in spots. But carefully made it work. Would definitely come back again.
