Gorgeous, immaculately kept cabin. Perfectly quiet and comfortable stay for my daughter and I for our xc ski weekend. Conveniently close to local amenities and the Birkie xc trail system, but just far enough removed to feel the North Woods vibe. Responsive, friendly host. Absolutely staying here again in the future.

Very nice stay! Comfy cabin and the trails were great for November skiing. Everything in the description matched our experience - including the stairs to the loft; definitely be aware of that if you might have difficulty navigating stairs (or have smaller children).

Super duper cute and cozy while still being spacious. Would be perfect for a couples get away. Kitchen was well stocked and the set up was convenient for cooking. Very close to trails and perfect distance to town while still making you feel like you're out in the middle of the woods. Host was very kind and communicative!

My second stay at the Birkie Haven this year. As relaxing, trouble-free and enjoyable as the first stay in May. Peaceful, bucolic setting on a large, wooded lot far from any neighbors or noise, yet a quick drive to Hayward, the Namekagon River and a little longer to Cable. Multiple trails right out the front door for morning and evening walks. Wonderful flora and fauna to view. The cabin has all the amenities and conveniences I seek in a rental including wi-fi, smart tv and all required kitchen appliances and utensils/serving ware. Guests even have their choice of a drip coffee maker or Keurig. Washer/dryer, ac, fireplace, heated floors for those chilly days and evenings, fantastic air circulation with multiple ceiling fans. And bright and airy with large numerous windows and high ceilings.Jennifer, the host, is very welcoming, responsive and knowledgeable about the area. Any questions are promptly and thoroughly addressed. Check-in and check-out are easy and trouble-free.Looking forward to future stays at the Birkie Haven!

Birkie Haven Spring Stay

Nice, relaxing mid-May stay at the Birkie Haven for some fishing and exploring. Perfect location just outside of downtown Hayward and close to the Namekagon River and area lakes.The cabin was clean and quiet. Nestled back on a large, wooded lot. Very little traffic (15 mph speed-limit) other than the few neighbors several hundred yards away. Surrounded by countless birch trees. The occasional morning deer and numerous songbirds. Very bucolic.The Birkie Haven was as described in the listing. Very clean, multiple coffeemakers, washer/dryer, enormous smart tv, board games, wi-fi, a wonderful gas fireplace adding to the ambiance. Firepit out front with numerous Adirondack chairs. A detached storage shed (perfect to hang your waders out to dry). Ample and comfortable seating and beds.Wonderful stay, would definitely rent again.
