My husband and I just stayed in Houseboat #10 for 4 nights (9/13/19 to 9/17/19. Originally our trip was booked for July for us and our six kids, due to unforeseen events we had to cancel that trip. Ron and Beth were great to work with and allowed us to rebook the houseboat for another time. It didn’t work to take our kids with us this time, but it was the perfect getaway for the two of us. So instead we celebrated our Wedding anniversary early (9/22) and my husbands birthday (9/17). Beth was amazing during our check in and showed us some of her favorite campsites on the lake. We tried out most of her recommendations and loved how unique each one was, it’s hard to pick a favorite as they each were different. The boat was very well stocked with plate, cups, silverware, pots/pans and cooking utensils. The gentlemen from the boathouse helped us unload our truck and get everything onto our boat were also great. I didn’t catch their names, but the main one who helped us Friday met us at the dock Tuesday morning when we came back. He walked us through how to run the boat and everything on it. The young man who stopped out on Sunday during a supply run was very helpful and polite. He suggested two amazing camp sites to us for our last two nights. We didn’t catch many fish, but we still had a great time relaxing and refreshing ourselves. We did catch some amazing sunrises and sunsets, along with a few naps in our hammock. We would highly recommend Timber Bay Lodge and Houseboats to anyone looking for a unique vacation. We hope to make it back again! Thank you, Ron, Beth and staff for making our vacation so enjoyable. …

Thank you!! We were so happy you were able to reschedule your trip.And had two great occasions to celebrate while you were on the houseboat. I'm glad the houseboat had all of the items/utensils etc that you needed for your trip. Birch Lake does offer great campsites and even better sunsets. We look forward to seeing you again. Thanks!

Birch Lake is beautiful! The houseboat was well stocked. There were 10 adults and we were comfortable. The owners and staff were friendly, helpful and very responsive. The boat was easy to handle even for rookies. Highly recommend!

Great to hear you enjoyed your houseboat vacation. And happy to hear that the boat was easy to handle. We hope that after going through the Lake map Orientation in the office followed by the Operational briefing of boat itself that you are comfortable to be your own Captain.Thanks for coming!

Last week we rented a house boat for 4 nights. We had a great time even though we didn't catch any fish. The amount of camp sites you can beach your boat at were plentiful. Bich lake is beautiful and as you can see we had a visit at one of our camp site. We would recommend Timber Bay Lodge and House boats. The staff were friendly and very helpful.

Perfect family vacation in a spacious cabin. Our family of five enjoyed the Bent paddle which is the newest accommodation at Timberbay. It has everything including a dishwasher. We rented the resort pontoon for two lovely days and enjoyed exploring Birch Lake. We will most definitely return for future vacations and look forward to hearing loons on the lake. The owners, Rykken's, are very helpful and make one feel welcomed and at home.

Another successful long weekend at Timber bay Lodge & Houseboats. Beautiful sunsets with even more lovely sunrises. The Loons were singing and wild flowers blooming. The hospitality is phenomenal if you haven’t been here you are missing out.
