All well behaved pets are welcome at Birchwood! Small pet fee is extra. We do ask that they remain leashed at all times while on our property. Please pick up after your pets indoors and outdoors. We prefer that they remain downstairs if staying in the Lodge and off the beds/furniture in all units (as to help keep allergens to a minimum). Due to NYS Department of Health regulations, dogs are not allowed at the beach, in the designated swim area. We do however, have plenty of lakefront shoreline for dogs to enjoy, docks to jump from and some shallow exit areas as well. If you are using Birchwood as a base for a day trip, we ask that you take your pet with you. If that's not possible, we'd be more than happy to recommend a local "pet day care". Leaving your pet behind without supervision is not permitted. We don't want them to be frightened or rowdy while you're away -- after all they should enjoy vacation as well.
Additional cottages available on property for the extended family that wants their own space at additional cost. Rec Room is open to all Birchwood guests.

Three Loon Nights
Arrived around 5 on Saturday. Great location. Once I figured out how to open key holder, we moved in. We enjoyed our cabin, found the information folders helpful. We had a nice fire and enjoyed our stay. Our suggestions for improvement. The light in the main room was very bright. A dimmer light switch would have been appreciated. Would like to have had a reading light on both sides of the bed.

Great stay!!
We booked a last minute trip and was not disappointed! The private, fully furnished cabin was perfect for our weekend get away. They also have boats, kayaks, paddle boards and so much more down at the beach free to use. The manager was so quick to respond to our questions/concerns and the check in/check out was SO simple. We definitely found our new place to go yearly, highly recommend!

Great stay
Loved the location. Checkin ran late due to prior people leaving a mess, but they were apologetic. Hot water tank light went out, but they fixed it right away. Bed was super comfortable.

Great location, busy road, due for renovations
Overall, no major issues. But, cleanliness was a bit poor, extremely difficult to cook with just a poorly functioning hot plate and a toaster oven. Shower's were, well, not normally somewhere I'd step into. That was hard. We actually had bring pots and pans. Bedding isn't fully provided and what was was stained and smelled of body oils. But the location is great except for the busy road and road noise. The lake is lovely, still, but has become very crowded over the years. Lastly, the Carbon Monoxide detector is mounted high on the wall. By the time it goes off to alert anyone, it'll be too late. Move it to below sleeping head height.
