Lakefront Northwoods Retreat for Swimming, Fishing & Relaxing at The Bird House!

Welcome to the Northwoods! Our very clean, newly updated vacation home overlooks the beautiful Big Lake Chetac, north of Birchwood the "Bluegill Capitol." Relax and enjoy the lake views, the surrounding natural beauty of the forest and our abundant wild life.
Big Lake Chetac and Little Birch Lake (connected by a channel) are known for a variety of fish including walleye, northern pike, bass, perch, crappie and Bluegill. Hundreds of miles of ATV and hiking trails (including the Tuscobia Trail) can be accessed in town and there is always a specialty boutique, craft shop to explore or a festival to attend (Hayward Fall Fair, the Birkebeiner, etc.) Please view the following link for more ideas:
