Birchwood Resort

Spent many a summer at grandma's cabin on Sauk Lake and has been over 40 years since I've been here. Remembered the great fishing and friendly folks and wanted to pay a tribute to my brother who passed away. Seen Birchwood's website and reviews and was blown away by the positive feedback! We love taking our fur child Georgia on vacations. However, it's rare to find a resort that allows dogs, let alone for NO extra charge. Even had a bag of exceptional dog biscuits waiting on the table! Cabin had a super view of the lake and was very nicely decorated. Beds and furniture were clean and comfortable. Getting to the lake was a steep walk and difficult at times. Sure got our excercise in! Georgia LOVED her time there and the staff are so friendly, personable, and helpful. Fishing was pretty good

If you are looking for a bit more of a rustic stay this is a good one. A mouse joined us for our conversations at night and woke up with bug bites on my feet after sleeping in the bed… the owners promptly put sticky traps in the cabin the next morning. Poison was behind the fridge to ensure the mice die inside as well… Beautiful views of the lake though!

We have a family reunion in Burtum each summer and we are always trying to find the perfect place to stay nearby. This is it. We loved our two night stay. We booked cabin #2; it's a two bedroom with 1 king and 1 full size. The bedroom accommodated the pack n play as well for our two year old. There is a full kitchen that is well stocked. The bathroom had hot water and good pressure. It's a shower. No tub. The view of the lake was great. This resort has multiple docks you could fish off of and also very reasonably priced boat rentals. There is a great playground which my toddler loved. This place is also so quiet. We loved that with kids. It was all quiet by 9pm. My parents enjoyed some bloody Mary's at the bar, they said they were quite good. We plan to book here next year for our family

The restaurant and bar are great! They have a good variety on the menu and their pizza is awesome! Great service and I highly recommend stopping in for a meal!

Great place to dine with friends. Friendly atmosphere. View of the lake. Nice outdoor seating. Service is great. Best flat bread pizza I ever had.
