About

Redhead Cottage presents Redhead Lakes — a treetop cottage in the heart of Up North. Lake days. Trail days. Slow mornings. Welcome to your treetop escape in the heart of Up North. Perched in the pines across from Birch Lake in Hackensack, this storybook red cabin keeps its living level up in the trees — soaring pine ceilings, a wall of windows on the woods, and a free-standing propane gas stove for slow evenings. Dogs are welcome ($50 per pet, per stay), and cozy pet blankets are provided.

Good to know

Sleeping arrangements (sleeps six): primary bedroom with a queen bed; second bedroom with two twin beds; living room with a queen sleeper sofa. Above the kitchen, a tucked-away loft lounge reached by a ladder: a daybed dressed in fluffy white faux fur, made for morning coffee, a good book, and an afternoon nap. The loft is a lounge, not a sleeping space. Living room: cognac leather sofa and free-standing propane gas stove. Round dining table seating six in front of the windows, and a dedicated workspace with a forest view. Bathroom: 1 bathroom, shower only, no tub.

Other Details to Note

The home is across the street from Birch Lake rather than directly on the shoreline, and public lake access is about a mile away. The living level sits above the garage and is reached by a flight of interior stairs. The elevated loft is a reading lounge, not a sleeping area; it has limited headroom and is accessed by a ladder. Dogs are welcome ($50 per pet, per stay), and cozy pet blankets are provided.
