The location is beautiful with amazing views of the lake. The property has a lot of stairs down to the water, bunk house and fire pit. So we got a lot exercise. Overall we had a great time.

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 ❤️

The property was exactly as described, right on the lake, easily accessible via the dock and a great family spot. Only recommendations for adjustments I would have is to ensure that in the room descriptions vs hidden in the main write it, they list that the king room and 2 queen beds are all in one loft, only separated by a bathroom but no walls or doors. Would not be suitable for 2 families, and if you as a couple want no privacy, it’s all good! The bunk house is a great addition with 2 doubles, but quite the hike back to the house for the bathroom, as well as absolutely no lighting on the stairs at night so a bit of a hazard especially with kids and wildlife out there. A new lock on the bunk house would also ensure one doesn’t get locked out as does not unlock when you open is all. Ensure you bring all your groceries as Clark’s has minimal to provide. Basic kitchen essentials like parchment paper or tin foil one also needs and spices as very minimal here. Regardless an amazing spot!

Beautiful cottage on Horsefly Lake

We had a wonderful stay at Birch Haven - what a beautiful cottage - with wall to wall windows letting in the sunshine. We had an amazing time in this immaculate home away from home overlooking pristine Horsefly Lake where the wildlife is abundant and the loons will sing you to sleep. If you want quiet- this is the place for you and the sunsets are amazing. Our hosts Remco and Erin have thought of everything to make your stay so relaxing - there is nothing they have not thought of to make you stay absolutely enjoyable. Talk about thoughtful - on our last day our power was out and about 9:30 our host Remco shows up at the cottage with coffee and cookies (home baked) in hand - it was just what we needed!!! We would highly recommend this property and our hosts Remco and Erin Michelle and Brett

Thank you Michelle & Brett, for your kind words. We are very happy that everything worked out the way it did and that you were able to have a wonderful summer vacation after the height of the wildfires. The Batman thermos that saved the powerless morning, will be the stuff of legends! :o)

My family had a wonderful time at Birch Haven! The views from this beautiful lakeside cottage were absolutely stunning — waking up in the upper floor bedroom to expansive lake and mountain views was a real treat. The private lakeside deck, complete with comfortable chairs and table, was perfect for listening to the loons with morning coffee and for gazing at the wide starscape - so many stars on a clear night! The yard also featured cozy hammocks for relaxing and enjoying the quiet, peaceful surroundings, and a separate 'bunkie' on the property for extra privacy. The cottage itself was well equipped and very well maintained. The hosts clearly take great care of the cottage and show great concern for their guests. Remco was welcoming and warm, with great correspondence before the visit and availability during the visit. This was a perfect spot for our summer getaway!

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.

Thank you for your review, Danyun. It was wonderful to host your family! You are right about the dock being in need of some repairs. Due to the extreme high water levels this year, this has been postponed to the fall. I promise that for your next visit, the dock will also be in good repair again. Thank you for your stay at Birch Haven! Birch Haven Vacations Remco Wijnhorst

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!!!
