#4 Adirondack FamilyFriendly Waterfront on LoonLake. Boating,fishing,swimming!

This is a weekly rental (Saturday to Saturday, 7 nights) during the summer season (June 15-Sept 1). Shorter length stays available on the shoulders and off-season (2 night min). Cottages available May 1 till Oct 31. Lodge available all year.

Linens, towels and paper goods NOT provided. Garbage to be taken to onsite dumpster. Recycling must be taken to local landfill.

The Loon Lookout cottage at Birchwood Cottages on Loon Lake, Chestertown NY is a two bedroom cottage (one queen, a bunk bed – twin over full, and a day bed on porch) and will accommodate up to five people. There are two small bathrooms – one off of each bedroom each with stall showers. Includes a small kitchen, dining and living area. The Loon Lookout has a screened porch and is a wonderful place to fully enjoy all that the Adirondacks have to offer!

We offer plenty of private parking for vehicles, boats and their trailers, cable television, wifi, campfire pit, and charcoal grill. Swim area with floating dock, 25'long deep water boat dock, and sandy beach are available for no additional charge between Memorial Day and Labor Day.

Enjoy fishing, swimming, boating and picnicking on beautiful Loon Lake or the many other Adirondack Lakes nearby. Visit Lake George's famous attractions just a short 25 minute drive away. Spend time at neighboring fun spots including Frontier Town, Schroon Lake, Natural Stone Bridge and Caves, Scenic Gore Mountain -- gondola rides, and Ausable Chasm! Horseback riding and golfing are also available nearby!

All well behaved pets are welcome at Birchwood! Small pet fee is extra. We do ask that they remain leashed at all times while on our property. Please pick up after your pets indoors and outdoors. We prefer that they remain downstairs if staying in the Lodge and off the beds/furniture in all units (as to help keep allergens to a minimum).
Due to NYS Department of Health regulations, dogs are not allowed at the beach, in the designated swim area. We do however, have plenty of lakefront shoreline for dogs to enjoy, docks to jump from and some shallow exit areas as well. If you are using Birchwood as a base for a day trip, we ask that you take your pet with you. If that's not possible, we'd be more than happy to recommend a local "pet day care". Leaving your pet behind without supervision is not permitted. We don't want them to be frightened or rowdy while you're away -- after all they should enjoy vacation as well.
Additional cottages available on property for the extended family that wants their own space at additional cost. Rec Room is open to all Birchwood guests.

You must provide email address for forwarding of lock box access code, beach waiver, etc. Off VRBO communication is automated and limited. Every reservation requires acknowledgement of receiving and reviewing the Property Rules and Terms of Service.

Things were ok but I did feel the price was high for the cabins. They are very old and hodge podged together. We all had a good time making due but honestly wouldn't recommend, because of the amount of money spent....

We really enjoyed our stay and the views were awesome. We’ve been vacationing in the Adirondack Mountains for many years but didn’t know that Birchwood Cottages was a place that you could stay. We’ve always stayed at the Maple Leaf up in Schroon Lake. We now plan to make Loon Lake a yearly thing.

Cabin 4

The cabin is a cross from the rec hall so it got very loud in the evenings before 10pn. There was only one plate in the cabin and no cork screw. Many pots and pans were put away dirty in the cupboard because previous renters most likely didn’t bring dish soap. The fire pit is right on the edge of the road also in front of the Rec room. We did play pool and made it work because I had my own pool stick but most pool sticks for the tattered table had no tips and no chalk was provided. I rate our stay a three because I feel this cabin needs an inventory check and perhaps leave dish soap and a roll of toilet paper for your travelers.

Great Adirondack Vaca!

Super 10-day fall stay at Birchwood Cottages. Cottage was clean, warm and well-equipped. We made great use of the fire pit, kayaks and rowboats, as well as the screened in porch. Enjoyed the proximity to some great local restaurants but also took advantage of the kitchen for “at home” dinners. Pat and Margo are excellent hosts. They were very responsive and took time to confirm details about our stay - from WiFi to pet friendliness. The whole property is well maintained and offers lots of options for groups of different sizes/preferences. We would definitely do a return visit.

The property was immaculate ewhen we arrived. Although full with another much larger family reunion group, everyone was cordial, shared the beach and rec facilities with no problems and both groups were considerate of quiet hours. We just loved Birchwood Cottages!
