What a place, what a host! A fully stocked, lap-of-luxury cabin secluded in the woods with its own dock, and a quick drive to food and fun. Tom is the best kind of host: responsive and helpful. Will be back!

We had a fantastic stay for our family of seven adults at this beautiful log home! Communication was excellent throughout, and the house was a clean, comfortable, welcoming space. The extra touches like an abundance of soft towels, kitchen essentials, ice maker, and a beverage fridge made everything so convenient. Outdoor amenities were top-notch too, with plenty of firewood and comfy seating. The beds were comfortable and the air conditioning worked great. The lake was peaceful and clean—perfect if you have access to a boat (we loved our pontoon from a local rental!). Just keep in mind that the steps down to the lake are quite a workout, especially for older guests or anyone with mobility concerns. Highly recommend!

We highly recommend Tom’s log cabin! Highlights include an airy, modern main floor, plenty of space to sprawl, a well-equipped kitchen, and a beautiful patio area with a fire pit. Little Birch Lake was great for kayaking. Finally, we appreciated Tom’s communication and accommodations for our needs.
