Spiral Staircase Leads To The Lofted Bedroom And Overlooks The Birch Woods.

The Birches is our largest of the “small” cabins. It has a spacious two level design. The entryway has a wraparound screened in porch with just enough room for some chairs and a table for summertime outdoor relaxation. You enter into the kitchen which has a small refrigerator with a freezer, a microwave, a two burner cook top, a large toaster oven, coffee pot, crock pot, tea kettle, and all the necessary kitchen utensils and dinnerware. There is a small dining space in the kitchen as well as one by the large viewing windows facing the bird feeder and birch woods. Facing the fireplace is the kingsize day bed/couch. There is also a 3/4 bath on the main level. The spiral staircase leads to two beds upstairs with a rocking chair nestled in the corner by one of the beds which creates a perfect spot for some nighttime reading. Surrounded by unique windows, the room fills with sunshine on sunny days. A CD player, air conditioner, floor/table fans as well as ceiling fans, additional oil filled heater, off peak electric storage heater, Wi-Fi, an outdoor grill, a tree swing, and an outdoor fire pit are also available.

Very Nice Getaway
Very clean, lots of trails to hike. The best part was it was very quiet and peaceful and only 2 hour drive. I would highly recommend this place.

Quaint Cabin
We enjoyed our stay. The cabin was sweet and had what we needed to cook and enjoy our time there. We loved seeing the animals on the property and felt we had plenty of privacy. The proprietor was responsive and brought up a new coffee maker when our's was not working. We would probably like to return in the fall when it is not so buggy.

Hark! This here's a mighty fine establishment indeed!
Twas a a late spring afternoon. The sun shone with it's gentle grace common for the time of year, and a gentle breeze welcomed us as we drove up the driveway. The property manager had greeted us in a timely manner and swiftly we were settling into a cabin most quaint and welcoming. The grounds were sprawling, forested and simply radiant with the pristine majesty of Minnesota's woodlands. All of the amenities left us wanting for nothing. The wood burning stove, who's ambience and warmth, staved off the penetrating blackness of night was a notable highlight. I could not offer a higher recommendation.

Weekend Getaway
This property is NOT in Finlayson. It’s located over 30 miles from Finlayson in McGrath and takes about an hour to get to from Finlayson. Beware of the exotic birds.

Late winter getaway
Lovely getaway from life. Michael and The Shire offer low key relaxation in cozy spaces with plenty of outdoor access. We love the fireplace and the mini kitchen setup which gives the ability to have a little slice of home comfort while away.

Beautiful spot, quaint cabin
It’s a quaint, unique cabin on a beautiful chunk of property in the woods. so nice to be able to walk out the door and take a hike. So nice that linens and towels are provided. Nice to have a small full kitchen. Description said two bedrooms, which it only has one loft bedroom. The other “Bedroom” is the main small living room where the pull out bed/daybed is. The description said that some dry goods were available in the kitchen, but only half of them were. Maybe that’s because of Covid, or an oversight. A few lightbulbs needed replacing. The owner was more responsive before arrival. But upon arrival I took several hours to respond to texts or calls. It wasn’t anything urgent, and I would hope they would be responsive if it was. All in all a quaint cabin in a gorgeous location. Next time will prefer to book directly with the owners.

A quiet place to relax and do some hiking
We enjoyed our stay in the Birches cabin. The cabin was cozy and even though there are other cabins close by, it still felt like we were in a remote location. There was always something interesting to see on the trails. We would definitely stay here again.
