About

Timber Bay Lodge and Houseboats is your year round classic Minnesota resort. Full of traditions. Perfect for your getaway. Enjoy being right on the water of Birch Lake in Northern Minnesota.

A pickleball court on site, free for guest use! Birch Lake is 20 miles long with 85% undeveloped forest service land allowing you to be the captain of your own vacation and explore the Superior National Forest surrounding you.
