Birch Grove is located on a serene and beautiful 11 acres of quiet McTaggart Lake. Birch Grove is the perfect vacation spot for families seeking to escape together. This Incredible four season cottage boasts almost 2800 square feet of living space and has picturesque waterfront views from almost every room. The large deck and waterfront dock provide ample space for relaxation in a totally private lakefront setting. This newly built cottage was completed in June of 2014 and cannot disappoint! Birch Grove boasts large bright windows, is spacious and brilliantly decorated. The attention to detail makes this cottage memorable, with a huge open concept kitchen with tons of counter and cupboard space. 5 large bedrooms and 2 1/2 bathrooms ensure plenty of space to find time for yourself or spend time with family. A large rec room with a 50' TV, play station, air hockey, and Foosball, will give the kids tons of enjoyment during rainy days. With multiple walkouts to deck overlooking the lake this cottage has it all! Enjoy fishing, reading, or just relaxing by the water. A family peddle boat and aluminum row boat are there for your enjoyment. We provide the pfd's as well!

Family of 5 who absolutely love the area but unfortunately we can't be there all the time. We love going to the lake and spending time away from the city! This is one of two cottages we no rent out on McTaggart Lake!
Dean Curtis purchased this cottage in 2014
We absolutely love the area and we have everything we need close by! Grocery stores, restaurants, and a city are all close by for convenience, but far enough away that we don't get involved in the hustle and bustle. We bought our first cottage here in 2012 and we loved it so much that when some land came up for sale we couldn't pass on the opportunity! This is our second cottage and was completed in June of 2014. We absolutely love 'Birch Grove'! The cottage is on 11 acres and is secluded and private. This was important to us because we didn't want to feel like we were still living in the city with another building right beside us!
This is a very spacious home with beautiful views of the trees and lake. Enjoy time on the dock relaxing in Muskoka chairs or sit on the deck over looking the lake and watching the kids play. There is an aluminum boat and peddle boat for the guests to use. We also have play station, Foosball, and air hockey in the large rec room. Perfect for keeping the family busy on rainy days!
Rest, relaxation, peaceful, beautiful and calm. These are just a few words used to describe the feelings we experienced here at Birch Grove.
Thank you so much for the personal touches to make us feel welcomed in your home (ie. the wine and sign).
We have made many wonderful memories here and enjoyed the beauty of your property. The breathtaking view & scenery, long walks, perfect weather and jogging in the area and so much more that made our stay here unforgettable.
Thank you for sharing your amazing cottage with us. Hopefully we will be able to come back soon to enjoy the comfort of home away from home.
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!
Three generations had a great time in this new and well designed cottage. The kids loved the games room and exploring the unusually large acreage. The two older generations socialized in and around the kitchen and great room. It truly was, as promised, a home away from home, with all the comforts of home. Some surprises--a dishwasher! Bedrooms even larger than they looked in the photos! A mostly (at that time of year) untraveled, pretty, and woodsy road for walks!
Spacious, well-appointed, comfortable cottage on acreage with lakefront and spectacular views--this cottage did not disappoint. The kids loved the games room, and we all loved the abundance of games, puzzles and books. The kitchen worked beautifully for multiple cooks and helpers. We were there in cold weather when the lake wasn't (we thought) frozen enough to go out on and the fire pit was surrounded by ice, but there was lots to do, including kilometers of walking on a woodsy road. The owners really know how to set up a welcoming and enjoyable place to stay. The cottage is really a house--some of us wanted to move in.
We had a great New Years ( Persian calendar ) getaway with our family. Although the weather was quite cold so we didn’t get to spend much time outside, but the amount of snow made the trees and lake very picturesque! The cottage was quite spacious on the main floor and was nice and cozy with the wood burning stove that we all enjoyed both day and night. The bedrooms were a generous size for sleeping arrangements as well. Dean ensured that we had all the needed information prior to arrival. He was very responsive to any questions we had during our stay. The cottage was sublime. This is the quintessential cottage experience.We would consider renting the cottage for a nice summer getaway in the future.
Birch grove is a beautiful cottage! The kitchen was well equipped and there's lots of room. The beds are comfy and the linens are very nice. Only complaint would be that there wasn't any firewood. Some trees had been chopped down but the wood was piled in a big mess and all wet. We made it work though and it wasn't a real problem. Other than that the cottage is perfect
We truly enjoyed our weekend at Birch Grove. The cottage was very clean and beds were comfy. Sitting at the dock was so peaceful, I could have stayed there all day. Dean, the owner, was great to deal with. He was professional, friendly and replied to emails and texts promptly. I look forward to booking another weekend with him soon.
Situated on 11 acres of private McTaggart Lake, 'Birch Grove' is an ideal vacation spot for families seeking to escape together. This Incredible four season cottage boasts picturesque waterfront views from almost every room. The large deck and waterfront dock provide ample space for relaxation in a totally private lakefront setting. Bright, spacious and brilliantly decorated, the cottage provides an idyllic experience. Multiple walkouts to deck overlooking the lake! This cottage also has deeded access to the larger Silver Lake as well!
