Description Description
This stunning newer log home on the peaceful shores of Loon Lake delivers the perfect blend of classic Rangeley lodge charm and modern comfort. Set on 200 feet of private waterfront, this is the kind of place guests picture when they dream of a true Maine lake escape — quiet, scenic, and designed for making unforgettable memories.

Wake up to lake views and coffee on the extensive covered porch overlooking the water, then spend your days swimming right from your private dock with ladder entry, paddling, or relaxing along the shoreline. Evenings are made for gathering around the fireplace after a day outdoors, with radiant heat and warm wood finishes creating a cozy, year-round retreat. The open layout, soaring ceilings, and sun-filled windows make the home feel both spacious and inviting.

Thoughtfully equipped with modern amenities including washer and dryer, radiant heat, and a fully outfitted interior, everything you need for a comfortable stay is already here. Tucked into a serene setting yet just minutes from downtown Rangeley and only 20 minutes to Saddleback Mountain, this property offers the best of privacy, convenience, and four-season adventure — the kind of place guests book once and return to year after year.

The Birches
The Birches is an amazing cabin that is perfect for family time. This was our first time staying in Rangeley and we had a wonderful experience. The cabin was clean, roomy, inviting, and the fireplace was everything! You need nothing when staying at The Birches except food and clothes - everything else is provided. Our family will definitely be back next year. Thank you for some great family memories.

Morton & Furbish Vacation Rentals response: We are so happy to hear that you and your family had an amazing time in Rangeley! We can't wait to see you again next year!!

We recently stayed at this property for several nights and overall had a really good experience. The place was clean, well-maintained, and matched the description accurately. The kitchen was stocked with the essentials and we had plenty of room to relax by the fire. A very pleasant stay!

Morton & Furbish Vacation Rentals Response: Thank you so much for the kind review—we’re so glad to hear you had a pleasant stay and enjoyed the space! We would love to host you again soon :)

A special spot
This house is incredibly clean and comfortable. The location of being on a very private lake (waterfront!) and also being close to town is amazing. M&F are always so helpful and accommodating. My only advise to people visiting is that there are not adequate curtains in the bedrooms so bring black plastic trash bags and painter's tape (to avoid damaging the walls) if you need the little ones to sleep in :) We will come back to the Birches year after year.

The best!
The birches is one of the best rentals that we've ever stayed at. It's so clean and comfortable and the location cannot be beat. You feel like you have the lake to yourselves yet you're only 10 min from town. I can't wait to go back!

Beautiful Camp!
We loved the Birches. Spacious log cabin great for families, well appointed kitchen, nice wood burning fireplace with wood on site for renters! Loft with kids games and a cozy finished basement which they enjoyed having space away from the adults. Steps to Loon Lake with easy snowmobile access to and from the trail system. The access road and driveway to the property was tight and the plowing could have been better for parking, a heads up if bringing more than 2 vehicles in the winter. We would highly recommend this camp to other renters!

Classic & Elegant
Birches was exactly what we were hoping it would be, based on the photos and guidance from Morton & Furbish. Clean, quiet, private, lovely furnishings, decent (but quite firm!) beds, gloriously equipped kitchen, plenty of comfy seating. We definitely would recommend it, and hope to return some day.

A Little Slice of Heaven
A gorgeous, spacious, home on Loon Lake. Loon Lake is peaceful, beautiful and pristine. The property is private with a nice dock. The house has a fabulous kitchen as part of an open floor plan. It is well-equipped and maintained. Four bedrooms and three full baths allow for eight people plenty of room. This is well-worth the money.

Wonderful property
The Birches is a beautiful log home with all of the amenities a modern family needs. It is also very private and on the edge of a large wilderness area. For those who love nature, but also prefer many of the creature comforts. We have returned to the Birches several times and highly recommend it for a perfect family vacation.

Peaceful, serene, tranquil, everything we wanted in a vacation. The house was immaculate and comfortable, the kitchen was great. We rented kayaks and bikes and enjoyed the lake, and the trails. We saw moose, loons, hares, squirrels, chipmunks and lots of hummingbirds. My favorite thing was just sitting on the covered porch, listening to and watching the loons and the hummingbirds.

we love birches
My family has enjoyed many a stay at Birches through the years. Both summer vacations and ski weekends. For us, it has been a terrific rental. Some of the reasons why: beautiful Loon lake (great swimming, quiet, private, wonderful nature), lovely home with plenty of room, and a well appointed kitchen. There are trails for biking, hiking and walking. And, well, the loons of course - they are quite something. Morton and Furbish provided excellent service particularly during a time of global pandemic. We would fully recommend this property.

Beautiful Home
Our first trip to Rangeley Lakes area. Birches is a private beautiful home on Loon Lake. The house is appointed very well and immaculate . The upscale kitchen has EVERYTHING you could ever need, this was a plus as we enjoy cooking. There was plenty of wood for the fire pit at night. We brought our canoe and kayaks which were easy to put in at the dock. Our group of 7 adults were very comfortable at Birches. We feel it is important to point out that the only grill is a small Weber coal grill. We prefer charcoal grill so this was fine, however it could have been a bit bigger. Also our biggest disappointment was the mattresses in ALL rooms were so hard and uncomfortable. Our son slept on the couch 2 nights and our daughter contemplated doing the same. This was surprising due the the fact that the home is so nicely appointed in all other aspects. For this reason we sadly would not return to Birches. We would have given 5 stars otherwise.

OWNER RESPONSE We appreciate all your kind words about the Birches. We will be purchasing new mattresses for all the beds as well as suppling a larger charcoal grill. Thank you for your feedback.

Great Weekend in Rangeley!
We had a great weekend in Rangeley and will definitely be booking a trip next winter. Hoping the snow conditions are a little better, but all in all a great trip! Thanks.

Property is very nice and well maintained. Listing says "brand new" property but it appears to be 7-8 years old. Gas grill and a second TV would be a good add. Internet OK but drops off frequently. I don't go on vacation for the internet but unfortunately I have to stay connected. Gas fireplace in the basement did not work. Access to the lake (row boat) would be a nice added activity. Overall a nice rental.

Flawless
For starters, the house is a few years old, and of great design and construction. The lot is very private, with plenty of wildfife, including a cow moose and calf. We rent a lot through Morton-Furbish, who run a smooth operation. We prefer the larger lakes over Loon Lake, since the swimming and boating are limited here; however, this house makes up for it.
