About Us

The Stowe Cottage Experience


The Stowe Cottage is a family-run vacation rental located in Birchwood, Wisconsin. The Stowe Cottage and surrounding land has been in our family for generations. We have made countless memories at the Cottage and hope you have the opportunity to do the same. Given the sentimental value this place holds, we hope to share this cottage to people who share the same appreciation and respect for this beautiful piece of the north woods.  The cottage is a top-bottom duplex - with no access to each other from the inside. The basement is used exclusively by the family, and is not included in the rental. We may utilize the basement occasionally during your stay, but are often never seen or heard. The upper level and grounds are yours exclusively - we may just pass through the yard between the basement and our home next door.

Please see our bookings page to schedule your stay!

Outdoor Activities 

Stowe Cottage is near ATV, snowmobiling and skiing trails. Our quiet corner of Pollywog Lake is perfect for kayaking, canoeing and paddle boarding. 

Pollywog is a non-motorized lake so if you're looking to take out a pontoon or fishing boat, we would recommend visiting Long Lake which is only  10-15 minutes away. 

After a long day of exploring sit out by the fire pit, roast some marshmallows and check out the stars. 

The north woods offers miles and miles of ATV, Snowmobiling, Hiking and Cross Country Ski trails for your enjoyment, as well as some of the best fishing lakes in the state - no matter what type of fish you are looking for or what season you are fishing! 

Here is a short list of some of the many resources available to make your vacation a bit more fun!
