Large Family And Pet Friendly 5 Bedroom Lakeside Retreat! Get Away From It All!

What can I say? We expected a lot and got so much more. Birch Grove is a beautiful “Home far away from home”. It was our first visit in Canada and it was just perfect. The house is spacious, well equipped and just beautiful. It’s great even for an off-season-trip.

We enjoyed every day - and would love to come back!

Thanks for having us!

We had a wonderful stay with our baby daughter at Birch Grove. This is a very well equipped property for anyone looking for a family get away with kids. Everything is there to keep you entertained - movies, games and water activities. Spending time on the dock and by the fire was fun. Also there are lots of mushrooms to explore around the cottage. One thing to note is that the cottage is close to the road and train tracks, so you hear some noise which doesn't lead to a totally quiet nature time (if that's what you're looking for) but for us it was good to have easy access to the road, felt safer than being deep in the woods with a baby, and perfect for quick grocery shopping trips to Parry Sound. We really liked the drive to the nearby wildlife conservation area. Dean is a great host and responded to all of our questions on a timely basis. Thanks for a great way to end our summer!

WOULD RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE.

Summer 2018 was our second time back after summer of 2017, and it was a blast, everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

It is truly a home away from home! The beauty with renting is that you can try different cottages and lakes, especially with all the options available out there, but we chose to come back to Birch Grove! That in itself should say it all. The space comfortably accommodated all 12 of us (7 adults and 5 kids ranging in ages from 8 to 14) without feeling too cramped. The interior is modern, tastefully decorated, and equipped with everything you will need to be comfortable for 7 nights! This was important for us, after all, it is a vacation. The space was welcoming, inviting, and comfortable for the week we are there. For those that are on the fence in regards to no air conditioning...let me tell you, don't be! The cottage is equipped with ceiling fans on the upper level and a stand up fan. Moreover, it is surrounded by mature trees and with the windows opened, the breeze and fresh air was a welcome change. Air conditioning isn't a must. Last but not least, the lake and dock is certainly the crown jewel of the place. We spent every non-rainy day there. The lake is calm, warm, clean, and 100% safe for kids as it is relatively small in size with no motor boats. We also caught a few large mouth green bass, about 1.5 lbs!! Of all the other docks on the lake, which isnt many, Birch Grove is definitely situated in the most private and tranquil part! A final tip: if you come across any problems, do text Dean Curtis at once because he will respond and address the problem. He is there to make your stay a happy and memorable one!!!

We had a wonderful time during our annual Family Cottage Weekend. Our first time at this location, and it was marvellous. The cottage was roomy, clean, and comfortable for the 10 of us (ages 13-71) and two small dogs. The kids enjoyed the games room a lot. The peaceful and quite lake was also a wonderful space for good laughs and talks. Making family memories is what it is all about, and we did exactly that. Thanks Birch Grove.
