Place was perfect for a couple, short walk to town, 1 block. 3 minute drive to golf course. The place was clean and just like described. The only thing that was a bit noisy on the highway that runs in front, traffic goes slow as it’s in town, but a few logging trucks in the morning. Overall was awesome for us.

Absolutely loved our stay at Birkwood Cottage. Morning coffee on the porch in the sunshine was lovely. Cottage had everything we needed so that we could do our own meals. Very close to downtown, to bike paths, hike trails and walking paths and of course the water with Sandy and rocky shoreline. The town was abundant with little shops, grocery store and great restaurants. Commutation with the owners was easy and they responded quickly to whatever we needed. I would highly recommend Birkwood Cottage

Our stay was perfect. We trailered our motor bikes, to do some riging with friends on the amazing roads in the area, and needed adequate parking. The street parking was perfect. A little icing in the cake of this lovely vrbo.
