We couldn't WAIT to come back to Birch Grove again this year! What a special place. The experience begins the second you drive into the magnificent driveway and step out of the car into the glorious silence of the forest that surrounds this absolute gem of a getaway. There's something magically comforting about walking through the doors into this beautiful "home away from home". My favourite feature of this architectural beauty is the big windows that look out onto the lake and forest around. That feeling of "being at one with nature" stays with you during your stay--whether you're eating at the big table in the dining area, sitting around the fireplace looking out onto the deck, trees and lake, or waking up in the morning in one of those GORGEOUS bedrooms...it's humbling, really--to be surrounded by such lush, healthy, natural magnificence...but one of the many cherries on top of Birch Grove is that dock. McTaggart Lake is such a quiet, peaceful and tranquil lake--perfect for us overstimulated city people, who crave the opportunity to just unplug and take in "nature's medicine". Sitting together and watching the blue herons glide across the twinkling ripples in the lake as the sun prepared to go down....will honestly be one of the best memories I can imagine creating--all thanks to the hospitality and thoughtfulness of our hosts. Serenity Vacation Rentals goes above and beyond in every way to ensure their clients' comfort. They truly cared about every detail, and had us looking forward to booking our next visit--even before we left! Thank you for another excellent experience--we love Birch Grove, and we love SVC!
