About this home
RARE Birch Lake cabin—bring your flip-flops and floaties! This nostalgic year-round lake getaway is all about slowing things down and enjoying life at the lake—sandy feet, morning coffee on the deck, waterskiing, tubing, boat rides and evenings around the fire. With a subtle nod to mid-century modern style and an incredible island view that truly lives up to the street name, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath cabin has the relaxed, easygoing character of a true Minnesota lake cabin. And this is Birch Lake living at its best—hop in the boat, cruise into Hackensack, tie up at the city dock and grab a pizza or an ice cream cone before heading back home. Towering mature trees frame the property, with the cabin sitting just steps from the water’s edge and level elevation leading to hard sand frontage and a beach area made for swimming and long days by the water. Inside, the heart of the cabin is the lakeside open-concept living, dining and kitchen area, where vaulted ceilings, rough-sawn paneling, charming built-ins and a wood-burning fireplace create a space filled with warmth and character. Two lakeside patio doors bring those incredible Birch Lake and island views right into the room and open to a large deck—your front-row seat to life on the lake. Newer main-level flooring gives the space a fresh update while keeping the cabin's original personality intact. The main floor also features a bedroom, full bath and large entry with laundry—perfect for wet towels, sandy feet and snowy boots. Upstairs, the unique double-loft bedroom area also features updated flooring, while the walk-out lower level offers another sleeping area/family room. Outside, choose your favorite spot—the charming front porch, large lakeside deck, firepit area, or of course, the hard sand beach. Low-maintenance steel siding means less time on upkeep and more time enjoying the lake, and if all of that isn’t enough, a 26' x 24' detached two-stall garage provides plenty of room for vehicles and lake toys.
