The View
What a beautiful place! When we walked in we were greeted with a fantastic view and cozy atmosphere. The rooms were very clean and comfortable and kid friendly. The lake was where we spent most of our time boating, swimming and fishing. Will definitely be coming back ❤️

Wonderful waterfront cabin getaway
We loved swimming and playing in the crystal clear water and watching all the little fish. The cabin and property were beautiful and had everything we needed. Remco was an excellent host. We are looking forward to coming back!

The home was very clean and well laid out. It had all of the comforts of home.
We were at the property with our grandson along with our daughter and family. Lots of time spent jumping off the dock and catching frogs.

Beautifully secluded
We really enjoyed our stay and the property is nice. Being on the water was fantastic. Beside the dock needing some repairs (but still floating) the cabin was in great shape.

Peaceful waterfront luxury cottage
My children and I enjoyed Birch Haven this past weekend. We made full use of the property. In the evenings while it rained we did some of the puzzles that are offered onsite. We loved waking up to the beautiful views and the sounds of the birds. My kids enjoyed playing with frogs and chopping wood and just all in all being outside looking at all things nature. We borrowed the row boat and did a day excursion over to the provincial park which made for a fun easy outing. At night its so quiet and peaceful and even enjoyed the sound of the rain on the roof. The cabin is super clean and very comfortable for our family of 5. It is well stocked with pretty much everything you need and the robes are a nice touch. The beds and pillows are a DREAM. We had the best sleeps. We enjoyed the big table for puzzles and games and enjoyed a few meals on the deck with the mosquitos (lol). Its so nice to have a getaway where you just show up with whatever clothes, food and a cold beverage or two and you are literally in paradise. Thanks for having us!!!
