Welcome to Birch Hideaway, a charming cabin nestled on the peaceful South Bay of Little St. Germain Lake. This rustic gem offers a genuine Northwoods experience, combining the charm of the 1950s with modern conveniences. With its original hardwood floors and knotty pine walls, this 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom cottage invites you to slow down, unwind, and savor the simple joys of lakeside living.
Inside, the cabin’s open-concept living area is designed for comfort and simplicity. Both bedrooms come with full beds, and the living room has a full-sized futon, making this space ideal for small families or couples looking for a cozy retreat. If you’re into fishing, this lake is your playground—home to musky, walleye, bass, and panfish. You’ll never tire of the quiet thrill of casting off from your own pier.
For outdoor enthusiasts, Birch Hideaway is your basecamp for adventure. The surrounding area features ATV and snowmobile trails, scenic bike paths, and easy access to boat landings. And if you need to pop into town for supplies or a bite to eat, St. Germain is just a short drive away.
What makes Birch Hideaway stand out? For one, its private pier and rowboat offer easy access to the sandy shoreline—perfect for swimming or simply dipping your toes in the water. Whether you’re out casting for musky or just enjoying a peaceful row, the lake’s crystal-clear waters are right at your doorstep. And with a western-facing deck, you’ll have front-row seats to some of the most spectacular sunsets you’ll ever see.

There’s a private pier for swimming, so if the fish aren’t cooperating, you can still cool off or float around without a care in the world. Got someone who’s into more adrenaline-pumping lake action? Bring or rent a boat and take a spin around the lake for waterskiing or tubing.
When it’s time to explore on land, St. Germain’s got some solid options. You’ve got the Shannon Lake Trail for hiking, with loops that range from an easy walk to a bit more of a challenge if your group’s up for it. The Awassa Nature Preserve and Hiking Trail is another great spot if you’re after a quiet stroll in the woods. For the bikers, the Heart of Vilas County Trail System is close by—over 50 miles of paved paths, so you can cruise through forests, around lakes, and into nearby towns.
After all that outdoor action, you’ll probably want to refuel. Head over to The Bear’s Den for some solid pub food, or swing by Knockers Pizza Company for—you guessed it—pizza and a cold beer. For a more classic Northwoods vibe, try dinner at The Timbers Bar & Grill. If you’re in the mood for something sweet, Cathy’s Ice Cream ‘N Candy Shoppe has you covered, especially if you’re bringing kids (or just have a soft spot for ice cream).
Looking for something a bit quirky? The Snowmobile Hall of Fame & Museum is worth a visit, even if you’re not a snowmobile junkie—it’s a glimpse into one of the region’s favorite pastimes. And for evening entertainment, catch the Chain Skimmers Water Ski Show. It’s free and a fun way to end a day of lake and trail adventures.
Whether your group is into hiking, biking, fishing, or just relaxing, St. Germain and Little St. Germain Lake have more than enough to fill your days.

The cabin was adorable and exactly what we like when we stay in the northwoods - rustic charm with modern amenities. Little St Germain is a beautiful lake and the South Bay, which is what the cabin is on, was perfect for our swimming needs. We would have loved a little more pier space to lie/lounge on! It’s a truly lovely place that we most definitely will be returning to.
