Could not imagine a more perfect place for lake fishing

This cabin was heaven on earth for my husband. He could use the small boat to go out fishing whenever he wanted. The host, Tom, clued him in to all the good fishing spots. Both hosts were very lovely. The cabin was perfection inside as well as outside; well located for groceries and restaurants, yet super quiet. We are already planning our next trip here!

Birchwood Reconnect

Great stay! Property was amazing tucked into the north woods with great lake front views. Cabin had a north woods feel was clean and had everything we needed for our stay, the dock was nice for docking boat and fishing was toss in a line and a fish hits (we were going for pan fish with worms but did get a couple small bass also). We enjoyed the cabin, fire pit, swimming in the lake using the floating swim platform, the paddle boards and paddle boat. Lake was great for skiing! Tom & Karen were great host and great company!

Beautiful and relaxing

If you're looking for a relaxing getaway in a beautiful lakefront setting, this is the place! The owners are on-site, very helpful, and genuinely kind. They took care of anything we needed promptly while being respectful of our privacy. They went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable—even offering their basement bedroom during a record heatwave (we didn’t need to use it, but the offer was appreciated).The property is beautifully landscaped and perfectly located—right on the lake and close to town. The dock was a favorite spot to enjoy our morning coffee or try our luck fishing, and the fire pit area offered a great view in the evenings. Having access to a small boat was a nice bonus; we used it to fish and explore the connected lakes.The cabin was small but charming—clean, comfortable, and well-appointed. We both slept better than we do at home and even enjoyed cooking a few meals there. During a power outage, the generator and A/C made a huge difference and kept things comfortable for the two of us.We also enjoyed exploring the town and local restaurants. Some Nerve Brewing had some great beers to try, and Manny's was a fun spot on the weekend with live music and a lively outdoor seating area. There's a huge bike trail system nearby, so definitely bring your bikes!

Relaxing and Inviting

Karen and Tom are awesome hosts. There if you need them but allow you your space. They were delightful to talk with and share ideas about the area. The guest house is perfect for one or a couple. Loved the lake and Tom got the kayak out for me. So enjoyed my time and happy they share it with us.

Manitowish Waters Getaway

We stayed for a wonderful week at this cozy cabin on Manitowish Lake. The hosts were excellent and very friendly/helpful. We brought our own boat and spent a lot of time exploring the 10 connecting lakes. Our hosts gave us great recommendations/maps for fishing. Relaxing in the chairs on the dock was a great way to spend evenings. We visited delicious restaurants/supper clubs in the area (hosts provided lots of pamphlets about local establishments). We highly recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a cozy cabin getaway. We will be back next year!!

We couldn’t ask for a nicer time In Manitowish Waters this past week. Our cabin had a beautiful view of Manitowish Lake, and was more than suitable for the two of us for the week. Our hosts were very nice and made sure we were comfortable as well! So glad we found this place.
