Welcome to The River Birch Cabin, located in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. Featured in Madison Magazine, this 1966 A-Frame is located two blocks from Lake Como and minutes from downtown Lake Geneva. It has many amenities including the Little Birch A-Frame playhouse for the kids and an outdoor firepit. The River Birch is just a 20 minute drive to Alpine Valley for snow skiing and summer concerts! It’s an ideal getaway for couples, families, or friends seeking relaxation and nature and dog friendly!

The space
Along with an amazing fire pit area and open concept living area, the River Birch Cabin offers a private large balcony off the main 1st floor bedroom - a perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee or read a book among the tall pine trees one with nature. The upstairs bedroom (the Treehouse) has 2 twin beds with room to add an additional sleeping arrangement (folding small twin cot/bed) to accommodate a fifth person (NOTE: this bed /cot is 30"x70").

Not only is the River Birch a perfect summer escape, but it is also perfect for that Fall/Winter getaway. The River Birch has undergone a full renovation in early 2021 while keeping the authentic feel of the 1960's A-Frame intact. The cabin boasts an electric fireplace for those cool fall/winter nights, full kitchen complete with small oven, dishwasher and microwave and a renovated bathroom with walk-in shower. Lake Como is a private community with two sandy beaches, two play areas for the kids along with sand volleyball for the teens and great Northern Pike, bass and blue gill fishing. Bring your bathing suits, fishing poles and sunblock. We aim to please. The River Birch is located within minutes of some of the best golf courses in southern Wisconsin - including Geneva National, the Grand Geneva and Hawk's View to name a few. Fall fun includes Oktoberfest, apple picking, etc. During the winter months, the River Birch has excellent snow skiing options close by at Grand Geneva (10 minutes) and Alpine Valley (30 minutes). Also minutes away is the Lake Geneva Ice Castles and the infamous Winterfest with Ice Sculpting competition.
