Great place and a responsive host
We were a family of 7 and stayed in Jim’s place for 6 weeks. It’s a beautiful home with a wonderful backyard and accommodated all of us comfortably. Jim was a very responsive host who made sure the stay was worry-free. Overall, I highly recommend this place for families and for longer stays.

Nice time at Birch Cliff home
My family and I stayed here for 5 weeks while I was working in Toronto. When we arrived we were quarantined for 2 weeks, and the house provided ample space and a huge backyard. My almost two year old loved the swing set and large deck space as well as green grass he could play soccer in. Completely fenced in and lots of privacy. The bottom floor of the house also had toys and an extra refrigerator and we could watch Disney+ on the big flat screen. The main floor of the house had a huge open floor plan. The kitchen had all of the amenities we needed and we could cook and BBQ on the deck. Plenty of indoor and outdoor eating spaces. The washer and dryer and laundry room was perfect as well. The upstairs had four bedrooms and two bathrooms. We were able to utilize one as my office and it came with a desk and chair. The master bedroom is very large and also had a flat screen TV. We really enjoyed our time here as a family. Once we were out of quarantine, we were just a very short drive to the beaches neighborhood, which is very walkable and has a large park for my son. Great coffee shops and ice cream parlors. We went often. The house is also walkable to a very large park overlooking the lake. The house doesn’t have a view really, as it’s behind a row of houses that line the lake, but occasional glimpses and a short walk provides better views. We definitely recommend the home.I would confirm if the hot tub was fully working. It didn’t heat up on its own, so we filled it with hot water a couple of times. And the upstairs jacuzzi tub worked except for the shower nozzle. The dishwasher is finicky, but ultimately worked the whole time. Definitely just pandemic nuisances that will probably resolve when handymen can enter homes comfortably again.

Beautiful home with lots of room.
We spent 14 days there and look forward to returning. The home is spacious and comfortable with a fully stocked kitchen, living room, huge dining area, plenty of bedrooms and a beautiful deck and backyard. The downstairs den with full restaurant-type bar and huge sectional sofa and large flat screen TV is a great indoor space for evenings and gatherings with friends. The owner and his wife couldn’t have been more welcoming and delightful to deal with. We had everything we needed and then some. Highly recommended!!!
