*Pier is in* Cozy Lake Cottage Big St. Germain

Welcome to The Birch—your Northwoods escape on Big St. Germain Lake. Nestled just steps from the water, this two-bedroom, one-bath cottage offers 191 feet of pristine lake frontage on one of Wisconsin’s top recreation lakes—renowned for boating, paddling, and award-winning musky fishing.

Wake up to panoramic lake views that make you feel like you're floating on the water. Whether you're sipping coffee on the screened-in porch, grilling dinner at golden hour, or roasting marshmallows around the firepit under the stars, every moment here feels like something out of a dream.

Inside, The Birch sleeps up to five guests with one queen bed and a twin-over-full bunk. The open-concept living and dining area is lined with windows that bring the outdoors in, and the screened-in porch is perfect for slow mornings or late-night games.

The kitchen is compact but fully stocked with a drip coffee maker, an espresso machine, and complimentary coffee. You’ll also find fresh towels, bed linens, and essentials like shampoo, conditioner, and body wash for a fuss-free stay.

Outside, enjoy a sandy-bottom beach for swimming, a private pier, and kayaks to explore the water at your leisure. In the evenings, gather around the lakeside firepit or dine al fresco under the pines. (Seasonal Availability: Pier and kayak access is offered May through September.)

As a top-rated Superhost, I take pride in offering warm, well-prepared stays. I’m currently adding thoughtful updates throughout the space—photos will be refreshed as improvements are made.

Please note: A rental agreement and refundable security deposit are required to confirm your booking. Well-behaved dogs are welcome at The Birch with prior approval and a $125 pet fee per pet, per stay. No smoking allowed on the property.

We had a great time staying here and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cabin in the area. The host was very communicative and accommodating. They checked in with us during our stay to make sure everything was up to par or if there was anything we needed. The cabin itself was spacious and fully stocked with everything we needed. I’d highly recommend staying here!

We enjoyed everything about the cabin. It was clean, comfortable, and a lakeside view of Big St.Germain. The host was great to communicate with and checked in with us during our stay to make sure we were finding everything to our liking. Our trip was snowmobile focused and you couldn't ask for a more central location to stay. Trails to all points in all directions were right out the back door. We will definitely remember this cabin for future trips. 5 stars

Beautiful home, perfectly setup for a family of 3 or 4. Appreciate that there is plenty of comfortable seating inside, as well as a screened in area to sit or Adirondack chairs by a fire pit lakeside. Close walk from house to lake or dock, unlike some homes that have a steep path or lots of steps. Kitchen has anything could possibly need for cooking and serving. Appreciate the nice bath towels as well as a separate set of towels for swimming, this helped us reduce the things to bring. Kayaks provided are a nice “toy” for the water, nearby island with an eagles nest to paddle to.
