Your cottage is delightful, and as this was my first visit to Drummond, I was thrilled to stay in such a great place with such a great view! I visited here with Tyne Hyslop and 2 other gals. We had a great time and I am definitedly going to try and get my husband to come up sometime. If we do, I'll be calling you to see about renting the Birchwood. Adore the fireplace!

Our third time to Birchwood, as you know! It is really starting to feel like home. We had a great week, as always, and it went by much too fast, as always! We have adjusted very well to not owning our own place thanks to having a great place to stay! We'll be back!

We really enjoyed our time here, many things we haven't seen or known before are found here. At night the stars light drives the darkness away along with the stress that was held in our hearts far to long. More importantly, the lake. The lake was beautiful! It made us want to stay even longer to see the beauty. Too bad we didn't have as much time as we wanted! Times flies!

A Bald Eagle, a pair of Sand Hill cranes, an asteroid shower, the loon vocaizations, bucolic meadow hikes, Monarh butterfly greetings - could it be any better? Thank you for some lakeside peace!
