Amazing stay at the Lazy Birch.

This place was fantastic. There were so many amenities that I lost count. We enjoyed kayaking on the lake, played corn hole and horse shoes. I think it was tough because We fished but unfortunately caught nothing in a nearby stream. Kitchen is well equipped and there’s plenty of toiletries. Darrel made fishing rods a

Great Stay!

We loved everything this house had to offer! Our favorites included use of the nice lake, paddle boat, kayaks, fishing gear, fire pits, & many outdoor and indoor games for all ages. The house was clean & comfortable for our family and the owner was very responsive to any questions. I also appreciated how the owner checked on us to see if there was anything else we needed or answer any questions we had. We also appreciated all the little amendities they provided and the welcome basket. They went above & beyond. We would definitely stay here again!

We had a wonderful stay at The Lazy Birch. The entire property was thoughtfully laid out and maintained. We really enjoyed the peacefulness of the lake and using the paddle boat and kayaks. Sitting quietly on the lake and watching the loons was so relaxing. Our teens also really enjoyed the provided outdoor games. The amenities inside were numerous and we were quite comfortable during our stay. Darryl was very fast to respond and very pleasant. We definitely hope to stay here again!

Cute property with lots to do

We were here for just a few days. Cute house with amazing deck and views. The property had LOTS to do. My boys enjoyed kayaking and axe throwing. There is a grocery store close by and the house was well stocked. The location was exactly what we wanted. We went up to Denali and also visited other areas. The property managers responded quickly to our messages. We would recommend this location!
