Relax at Birch Haven, a luxury lakefront cottage on pristine Horsefly Lake, British Columbia (BC) which offers your family and friends a wonderful and relaxing vacation experience. Sun kissed days lazing on the dock interspersed with leisurely swims in the cool, crystal clear water. Gentle breezes off the lake. Warm moonlit nights with good company beside the campfire's glow. A variety of outdoor activities in nature's playground. And the end of the day, sink into downy comfort and drift off by the call of the loon.

Bright open concept living area with gorgeous lake views from the large windows. Two bedroom loft. Sleeps 6 comfortably, options for more.

About the host

Welcome to Birch Haven on Horsefly Lake!
Our story begins in late 1967, when only a few houses and cabins had been established on the shores of beautiful Horsefly Lake. In fact, most lots on Millar Road were only just being offered for sale for the first time. Our family was one of the first to establish a recreational cabin on this end of the lake and eventually decided to retire here and build a beautiful log home – which we still call home today.
We simply love this area and enjoy the lakeside lifestyle year round. When the opportunity presented itself in 2017, we purchased a property that will allow us to share this lifestyle with friends, family and guests alike: Birch Haven.
The property is only a short walk down the road, or paddle down the lake, from our home and is the perfect lakeside vacation property. While its loft gives it that cozy cottage feel, the high quality finishing throughout feels like your home. The large picture windows make the rooms bright and provide absolutely stunning views.
Birch Haven is intended to be a place away from it all where you can rest, relax and recharge. The aim is to provide a luxury lakeside vacation experience with all the comforts of home. Because we understand and appreciate the importance of connectivity, we provide WiFi. On the other hand, you may wish to unplug from the world as much as possible in order to take full advantage of the opportunities the lake and its surrounding areas offer.
Whether you visit for a couples get-away, a family vacation or a recovery-from-life escape, we hope that this Haven will offer you that memorable experience.

Why they chose this property
Birch Haven is a well-appointed cottage, tucked away in the trees from the road and open to the lake. Besides the lake in front, the property is bordering on Crown land on two sides as well for increased privacy, peace and quiet.
The cottage is comfortable and bright, professionally finished and well maintained.
The 220 ft. of private lakefront has a gently sloping pebble beach and private dock. Lake life doesn't get better than on the private spacious lake shore deck and fire pit area.
