Amazing property! Clean, quiet, and peaceful in a beautiful woodland setting with all the comfort of updated modern amenities. The cabin still has that "new build" feel. The host, Jennifer, is super friendly and helpful, and great at communicating. Just a helpful tip for visitors, but certainly not a negative: there is a trail right next to the cabin and passers-by can peer in through the windows so be sure to keep shades drawn for privacy.

The Birkie Haven was amazing! Clean, cozy and just relaxing. Will stay here again. Out in the woods and so quiet. Wilderness all around. Plus, Jennifer was wonderful to work with as well as responsive to questions. The ladder is for sure not for kids and the unsteady footed person.

Birkie Haven was a haven indeed! We stayed two nights with another couple and found the accommodations to be perfect for the 4 of us. We cooked dinner one light and the kitchen is very well equipped. The gas grill worked and was very clean. The location was optimal for the activities we had planned.
