Finding Your Way to the Lodge

The driveway is gravel and unmarked, so look for the wooden Cedar Hollow sign at the turn-off from N Bay Shore Dr. Turn onto the gravel driveway at the sign and park in the spot closest to the cabin; the lockbox is to the right of the front door. Note that the driveway can feel tight for larger SUVs — if needed, there's extra parking available at the top near the road.

A Note From Your Host

Birch Lantern Lodge sits on a wooded stretch of shoreline in Sister Bay, offering the rare combination of true privacy and easy access to town. Guests consistently love the private lake access and how quiet and secluded it feels here, even though Sister Bay's shops and restaurants are just a short walk away. Evenings tend to center around the fire pit by the water, and recent updates — including redone kitchen counters, a new outdoor fire pit, and a freshly refinished dock — mean the cabin is ready to welcome guests in its best form yet. With two bedrooms, three beds, and space for up to six, it's a natural fit for couples and families alike.
