UTV Trip

We had a great time in the Birchwood area/the property details was spot on and super clean and cozy. We enjoyed our time here and the trails were right out the door. Plenty of room to park as we had 3 UTV's. Saw plenty of deer right out the patio window. Super quiet and a nice area with the lake right across the rode. We are planning a trip again for next year. :) Recommend this property as a place to stay.
