Experience what it's like to have your own private lake house! This two-level, cabin-style home is the perfect escape for anyone looking to get away from it all. Step out the back door and follow the staircase through the verdant meadow to arrive at your private dock on the shallow pond. Dangle your feet in the water while the sun glints off the surface, or paddle out in the provided canoe or kayak.

Head back to the house for lunch and cook up some comfort food in the open, full kitchen. There's seating for four in the dining area, but if you can't get enough of the great outdoors, there's a table outside too. Grillmasters may opt instead to host a barbecue on the private gas grill.

The fun won't stop as the sun sets. Head down to the backyard firepit for some friendly banter or a sing-a-long peacefully surrounded by the towering trees.

Perfect cabin
We have stayed at the Birch Overlook cabin many times. It is always clean and inviting. It is beautifully located on the edge of Greenville on Prong Pond just a short drive to Greenville Center. We look forward to our next visit!

Perfect
Birch Overlook was wonderful. Spotless, perfect location on Prong Pond, great hiking nearby, great private dock with canoe and kayak, sitting outside on the deck at night listening to the loons was probably my favorite, other than seeing two moose right down the road. The dogs had a great time too. We also took the long way home back to RI and saw a huge bull moose on Route 201. Thank you very much, we had a great experience staying at birch Overlook and would definitely go back. Sincerely, Justin, Kori, Guinness and Murphy

Slice of Heaven
What a cute cabin. Perfectly nestled in the the country with a Beautiful peek of the waterfront from a few angles.. The cabin was clean, well stocked with necessities. Front porch was awesome to.use at sunrise and sunset. Walking down to the waterfront was easy and the view was pure heaven. The leaves were a verity of bright fall colors. It was so quiet; it was the first time in my life I actually could hear leaves fall. We will definitely book here again. Only complaint is I wish the full bed was a queen since the room was big enough to hold one.

The perfect getaway!!
Birch Overlook was likely the best VRBO rental I’ve ever had, and I book these 3-5 day trips multiple times a year, just me and my dog. The house was spotless and just as it looks in the pictures. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you’ll need to cook meals. The back deck sits basically up in the trees, which is so peaceful and especially beautiful during peak foliage. There is another house next door, though it was vacant during my stay. The only shared areas are the parking, and part of the trail down to the water access. Each has their own fire pit and private dock. Sunrise on the pond was phenomenal and everything about this property was perfection. I will definitely be renting here again! (My dog also LOVED our trip!)

Awesome cabin!
Relaxing stay! We enjoyed our week at this cabin. We loved using the canoe and the availability of the fire pit. It did get pretty hot inside. The coolest we got it was 74 at night which is still pretty warm for what we are used to in the house but we made it work. We had to contact the property manager for an issue with the lockbox code which was resolved very quickly. Thank you for a nice stay!

Beautiful Cabin and Location
The cabin and property were beautiful!! We leisurely paddled the pond during our 2 days and found it to be a magical place. We enjoyed the open, spacious layout of the very clean cabin interior and private deck which looked out over the woods into the pond. The bed and furniture were very comfortable. Check in was easy, and the owner/manager was quick to answer our questions. We’ll be back to spend time at this wonderful property! Thank you for sharing it with us!

Relaxing Fun Filled Summer Getaway
It was our second time for our family of 5 plus our dog staying at Birch Overlook and we again enjoyed every minute! We especially loved canoeing and kayaking on gorgeous and serene prong pond. Kids loved roasting marshmallows at night and spending days on the pond or nearby Moosehead Lake. No moose sighting but that’s a good excuse to come back next year!

family getaway
The property was fantastic. As stated in many reviews the pictures do not do it justice. It was perfect for our family and revolving guest who came to stay. Very private and quiet, but good distance from Greenville to shop and eat. Loved the Front Porch, we spent much time on it as the weather was not fantastic. The water front was peaceful and pretty, but not a a great place for small children or swimming. This is the only reason for 4 stars. However, we did enjoy canoeing and kayaking the pond. We would consider the stay again as Lily Bay State Park is just up the road. Thank you for a wonderful week! The camp was very clean and very comfortable. We did also enjoy the private fire pit. Overall a perfect vacation!

Beautiful cabin and setting!
The cabin was just what we were hoping for and fit our family of 6 perfectly. The setting was so peaceful, nestled in amongst the trees with views of Prong Pond below. I loved the winding path through the woods to the dock. We all enjoyed using the canoe and kayak every day. And our dog had a great time too!!

Cool Summer Respite
This was our second visit to Birch Overlook on Prong Pond. The property was immaculate and there are new firepits, one for each cabin. The area is lovely, near anything you might need, but remote enough to feel a little wild (for a Jersey family!) Having the kayak and canoe as part of the rental makes it a great value and adds to the adventure, my kids loved kayaking out to a set of rocks that had enough deep water surrounding them for a satisfying leap and splash. The music of the loons and chattering of the red squirrels enhanced the North Woods vibe. Within the cabin, the loft area is awesome for kids old enough to know better than to pitch themselves over the side railing. This was another great stay!

Tranquil
Cozy, clean cabin. The feeling of seclusion. Loons calling out during morning coffee on the dock. A peaceful canoe/kayak trip around the pond rarely seeing another person. Moose, deer, eagles..... If you’re looking for crowded, busy, noisy and hate wildlife, then this place is NOT for you.

Nice little Greenville getaway
We enjoyed our cabin stay on Prong Pond. It was very remote and quiet, a good place to unplug from the world for a couple days. The cabin was very clean and had everything we needed, though it could use some new frying pans in the kitchen. The deck was really nice to hear the mom and baby loon on the pond. We enjoyed using the grill, the fire pit, and the canoes. We were the only ones out on the pond, where we got to see the loons and the spectacular autumn scenery. Mike, the caretaker was very helpful and friendly. If you have Verizon mobile service, you'll have no problem keeping in touch with the world.
