Linens, towels, and paper goods NOT provided. Dumpster on property for garbage. Recycling must take to local landfill (pass provided).

The Hillside Retreat cottage at Birchwood Cottages on Loon Lake, Chestertown NY is the smallest of our cottages. It has one bed​room (king bed)​,​ two bath ​rooms, small kitchenette area and living room/dining area with a small flat screen TV. It has a futon ​couch​ and sleeps a total of up to four. This is a great cottage for a couples get away. From the screened in porch that you can see all the action of our property or just take a nap on the day bed. It is a wonderful place to fully enjoy all that the Adirondacks have to offer!

We offer plenty of parking for vehicles, boats and their trailers, cable television, Wi-Fi, campfire pit, and charcoal grill. Swim area with floating dock, deep water to accommodate 25' power 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.

Three Loon Nights

Arrived around 5 on Saturday. Great location. Once I figured out how to open key holder, we moved in. We enjoyed our cabin, found the information folders helpful. We had a nice fire and enjoyed our stay. Our suggestions for improvement. The light in the main room was very bright. A dimmer light switch would have been appreciated. Would like to have had a reading light on both sides of the bed.

Great stay!!

We booked a last minute trip and was not disappointed! The private, fully furnished cabin was perfect for our weekend get away. They also have boats, kayaks, paddle boards and so much more down at the beach free to use. The manager was so quick to respond to our questions/concerns and the check in/check out was SO simple. We definitely found our new place to go yearly, highly recommend!

Loved the location. Checkin ran late due to prior people leaving a mess, but they were apologetic. Hot water tank light went out, but they fixed it right away. Bed was super comfortable.

Great location, busy road, due for renovations

Overall, no major issues. But, cleanliness was a bit poor, extremely difficult to cook with just a poorly functioning hot plate and a toaster oven. Shower's were, well, not normally somewhere I'd step into. That was hard. We actually had bring pots and pans. Bedding isn't fully provided and what was was stained and smelled of body oils. But the location is great except for the busy road and road noise. The lake is lovely, still, but has become very crowded over the years. Lastly, the Carbon Monoxide detector is mounted high on the wall. By the time it goes off to alert anyone, it'll be too late. Move it to below sleeping head height.
