You will not want to leave! :)

Super great rental experience! The home is beautiful, clean and very comfortable with a wonderful swimming area and docking. Feels like you have lived there your whole life, who would ever want to leave such a nice lakefront home on a great lake! Julie the host, was 'The Best', and very responsive in her communications. Everyone loved the home, its location, and amenities. You will not be disappointed if you rent it. A very well deserved, "Five Stars" for the property and host!

Great finish to the summer

We loved Birch Haven inside and out. The kitchen has everything you would need, there plenty of space to spread out in the sun and living rooms, and the lake front is perfect. We used the paddle boards daily, and rented a boat for part of the trip, and the kids went snorkeling. The owner was very responsive and we look forward to staying next year! Thank ylu

Birch Haven was incredible!

My family and I stayed in Birch Haven for a weeks long vacation. Pulling into the driveway, we were first struck by the beauty of the landscaping: lush green grass, perfectly manicured shrubs, and beautiful flowers. Upon entering the home, we were blown away by it’s beautiful view, gorgeous decor, and how immaculate it was. It felt like home. There was nothing that Birch Haven didn’t have. Not only was the whole house equipped with everything we could need or want, there were things we never expected such as shampoo, conditioner and body in each bathroom. Upgraded bath towels, not the rough white ones. Hand soap in each bathroom, dish soap, tide pods…the list goes on and on. I loved the pillows in the master bedroom so much I came home and bought one. We loved this home! Julie was so easy to work with and communicate with. They are top notch owners. Anyone who rents this home will NOT be disappointed. Thank you Julie and Jeff for sharing your amazing home!

Family Reunion Was a Blast!

We cannot recommend this property enough! Everything was top notch and Julie made every rental step so easy and manageable. Yoga on the yard overlooking the Lake in the mornings, the paddle boards in the afternoon, and corn hole, fire pit and cocktails were the highlights of our evenings. Every family member had something to do. We even rented jet skis one afternoon and could bring them right up to Julie's dock. The kitchen was stocked with the highest level of appliances, including a waffle iron and Keurig machine, and the beds were extremely comfortable. Great water pressure too! Master bedroom was large, comfortable and quiet. Looking forward to next year!!

About the host

Hosted by Julie

We purchased this property after 17 years of renting at the lake. Almost everything in the house was purchased new in 2016 and is replaced as needed. My goal is to offer a comfortable, functional home for family vacation memories to be made.

Why they chose this property

This property has everything for year-round enjoyment. Gorgeous waterfront near Weirs Beach offers summer fun from Bike Week through September. Leaf peepers will LOVE the arboretum-like entrance to the property. The home sits right next to a snowmobile trail and is 10 miles from Gunstock Mountain for winter activities.
