Ranch stay

The property manager was very nice, when we got to the location, we went to the wrong cabin, Terry personally came and told us where we had ended up at the wrong location. When we couldn't figure out the TV, he sent his property maintenence person right away to show us how to work the dish. The facility in general nice but could use some updating, not complaining just an observation.

Honeymoon

Overall it was a good stay. The bed was a bit uncomfortable, a bit too firm for me. The hot tub was very nice, we used it daily during our stay. The fireplace worked very well. A few updates would be nice. Bluetooth speakers for outside would be nice. A few of the outside lights did not work. It would have been nice to have the fire pit in a more private location.

Ranch cabin

The cabin is located on a beautiful piece of property in a secluded area. However the cabin decor was outdated and needed a good cleaning. Floors were dirty, inside cabinets were dirty. Blinds and curtains were dusty. Windows needed washing. The glass ware that was provided was a hodgepodge of different pieces . The pillows with the bedding were old and flat. Not comfortable at all. We made the best of our stay and had a great time.

Cozy Getaway

The cabin was very comfortable for the two of us for the weekend. We enjoyed the hot tub in the evening, and the wild life in the morning, drives through country, and shopping in Tomah.

Secluded cabin with lots to do!

Check in was a breeze. Communication was super timely with replies. Cabin was in an absolutely beautiful area of Tomah WI. Lots to do near by and places to grab anything you may have forgotten to bring. The cabin was quaint and comfy. Hot tub was clean and the perfect addition to our stay. The paddle boat for the lake was so fun and light weight so easily put into the water and take out. Fridge was so cold and kept everything cold or frozen that we needed. Coffee maker was perfect! what needed to be done at checkout was easily done in less than 5 mins which was so nice. we left behind a roll of toilet paper, one garbage bag that was brand new and some charcoal and fluid for the grill for the next guests- hope that was ok. The bed was huge and comfy! We hiked the little trail by the beach, enjoyed the lake, the dock and the fire pit. Also- the radio that’s inside and out is amazing and now something I want at my house haha! We will be back but with some friends at the larger cabin because we enjoyed the resort that much! Thank you for allowing us to make a weekend full of memories at your resort - loved every moment!

Great Time

The family had a wonderful time. There were a few issues that came up some of which I fixed myself. I would have contacted the PM but was unable due to service. Did not mind not having service. Maybe a quiet time be set because of some younger guests that arrived. Other than them, it was a quiet and relaxing time.

Not as expected

We were a little disappointed with our cabin. It was stated that the kitchen was fully stocked, but it was far from it. Plan on bringing everything you think you’re going to need, because there sure wasn’t much there. I’m talking about supplies, not food. The lake was totally different than the pictures also. It was scummy and is more of a pond than a lake. The hot tub is old, but it worked, although the water wasn’t the cleanest, which was a turnoff. The very first day there we realized we had a mouse in the house, which got into some of our food. One good thing about this place is that it was quiet, probably because we might have been the only renters there that week.

Just the 2 of us

Our stay was good, if you want out of the way and fairly private this cabin is the one! Beautiful views just as the pictures show. Check in was extremely simple although I got confused because it was so simple. Cabin did have a musty smell but after we opened it up and used the carpet fresh we found it was ok.

Secluded getaway

I think we really lucked out bc we were the only ones on the property at our stay, but it was exactly what we needed! Tracy is super easy to connect & communicate with which is really nice. Nice outdoor seating, grill & fireplace to cozy up too (inside and out). I appreciated the speakers outside of the ranch - it was a really nice and convenient surprise! Can’t speak on the beach as the water was a bit murky during our visit, but there’s plenty of seating out there to hang out on. Close to Tomah & Sparta for all your needs! Great place to get away for a couple of days - thank you Terry!!

My husband and I were looking for somewhere to get away for the weekend that was different than a typical hotel. Allowing us to have the comforts of home without the little ones. The Ranch cabin was perfect for a romantic weekend away just the two of us.

Peaceful lovely little cabin

We had such a good time on a cold March weekend. We enjoyed the nature, animals and getting away from it all. Our favorite part was bird watching. There is a Cardinal that visits his territory and he was so pretty to watch.

Perfect winter weekend getaway!

We loved our time at the Ranch! The cabin was perfectly cozy for my parter and me, with a view of the lake. Bonus- the hot tub was heated and ready for us when we arrived! Contactless check in/out was smooth, we didnt see another person on site the whole time which made it feel like our own private get away!

About the host

Hosted by Terry and Sally

Welcome to Birch Lake Secluded Getaway! We are Sally and Terry. What a great blessing it was to stumble onto this beautiful 12-acre property in 1995. Even though the only convenience here was an outhouse (including no plumbing or electricity!) we fell in love with the rolling hills and beautiful lake. As former city dwellers and corporate dropouts who had made the choice to get out of the traffic and noise, we headed to the country with nothing specific in mind except to just get away from it all.

Starting from scratch was an adventure where over the next ten years, Birch Lake slowly began to develop. It was so much fun to put in the opportunities for the simple escape to nature; Ranging from the hiking trail in the woods, the little waterfall, and the deck out on the water. It was because of these ideas in which Birch Lake came into being. As we began to offer this experience to others we expanded, adding one cabin after another; Having each cabin carefully designed to complement and fit into the surroundings.

It has truly been a pleasure to receive the gift of trust that we deeply value from our guests. The fond memories that our guests create are what make up the ambiance of our Wisconsin vacation rentals.

It is our hope that if you decide to come here that you too will discover the peace and beauty of this gem we call Birch Lake.

Your hosts,

Terry and Sally
