The Birch

We were in town for a long weekend event, and made an excellent choice to stay at The Birch. Our (well-behaved) canine companion joined us and he gave it 5 wags as well. Comfortable, cosy, clean, contemporary, on the water and within walking distance of everything we needed. We were good tourists and sampled restaurants in town, but we also made meals - the kitchen has all the facilities needed. The bed was really comfortable, if you're particular about pillows, you may want to bring your own.

This is the second time that my extended family stayed at The Birch. Like the first time everything was great. Stephen and Sam….the owners are always accommodating in making your stay a wonderful one. Highly recommend that you stay at one of their quaint cottages, it is well worth it.

We were booked in the Loyalist Cottage which had three bedrooms and could accommodate 6-7 persons, with only one bathroom to share. We were two persons on this trip and one bathroom was more than sufficient. The unit is the farthest away on the property and you do not get a clear view of the lake. The location is no doubt right off the water, they have a beautiful seating area where you can relax and enjoy the beautiful nature, sunset and the wildlife. The white swans were a treat to see. This was our first time staying at The Birch and we would certainly love to go back again. The cottage was very clean and very well equipped. It is situated on the West Lake and is close to amenities and restaurants. Walking distance from the Dunes Boat Tours company. Overall, a nice and cozy place to stay for a couple of days. Thanks to Samantha and Stephen for allowing us to check-in a couple of hours early.
