Family

We really enjoyed our stay and the views were awesome. We’ve been vacationing in the Adirondack Mountains for many years but didn’t know that Birchwood Cottages was a place that you could stay. We’ve always stayed at the Maple Leaf up in Schroon Lake. We now plan to make Loon Lake a yearly thing.

Things were ok but I did feel the price was high for the cabins. They are very old and hodge podged together. We all had a good time making due but honestly wouldn't recommend, because of the amount of money spent....

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear you had a good time overall. Our cabins are intentionally kept rustic to preserve their charm and history, and we do our best to reflect that in our descriptions and photos. We also offer a range of cottages at various price points and styles, so there’s something for everyone depending on what kind of stay you’re looking for. Prices can also vary a bit between booking platforms, and guests often find the best rate when booking directly with us. We appreciate your visit and hope you enjoyed the time spent together here. Your feedback helps us keep improving while staying true to the relaxed, old-style charm that makes our place special.

Cabin 4

The cabin is a cross from the rec hall so it got very loud in the evenings before 10pn. There was only one plate in the cabin and no cork screw. Many pots and pans were put away dirty in the cupboard because previous renters most likely didn’t bring dish soap. The fire pit is right on the edge of the road also in front of the Rec room. We did play pool and made it work because I had my own pool stick but most pool sticks for the tattered table had no tips and no chalk was provided. I rate our stay a three because I feel this cabin needs an inventory check and perhaps leave dish soap and a roll of toilet paper for your travelers.

Jeana, we're sorry to see you weren't able to give us 5 stars, we always strive to make everyone's stay enjoyable! The location of your unit is definitely right in the middle of the action, so we understand that the rec room might be loud while people enjoy it, but I am glad to hear it was before 10pm when our quiet hours start, and I believe the map of our property does give a true picture of locations. We have just placed a new corkscrew in the cabin after reading this review, and we have reiterated our inventory and cleaning check-list process with our cleaning crew to ensure cottages are appropriately cleaned and stocked prior to every check in. If you had wanted any of these things to be addressed, we do state that you can reach out immediately to us, or our onsite caretaker and we will rectify most items as soon as possible. The rec room items, unfortunately do not last more than a few weeks, as people are always in and out of the rec room (sometimes abusing) the supplies that we provide, we will do another refresh in a few weeks! As stated in all of our communications and listings, renters are responsible for providing all consumable items (including dish soap, paper products, etc) - but we do provide a fresh sponge to all units to get you started.

Excellent location.

The location is very good but the bathrooms are really small. Everything else is ok except I didn’t know there were no bathroom tissues.

Wah, thank you for staying with Birchwood and for taking the time to review our property! If you decide to come again (we'd love to have you!!), you would likely benefit and enjoy the larger bathrooms in the 3 bigger units (or the Lodge), as you had selected one of our smallest units to stay (hence the smaller bathrooms). In regards to bringing all consumable items (including toilet paper), we communicate that within the VRBO listing, in the verbiage of the contract as well as in the welcome email you receive 5 days prior. I am sorry that you missed it, but luckily we have some close shops with those very necessities for vacationers that stock up upon arrival (or forget)! Be well!

Great Adirondack Vaca!

Super 10-day fall stay at Birchwood Cottages. Cottage was clean, warm and well-equipped. We made great use of the fire pit, kayaks and rowboats, as well as the screened in porch. Enjoyed the proximity to some great local restaurants but also took advantage of the kitchen for “at home” dinners. Pat and Margo are excellent hosts. They were very responsive and took time to confirm details about our stay - from WiFi to pet friendliness. The whole property is well maintained and offers lots of options for groups of different sizes/preferences. We would definitely do a return visit.

Wonderful week!

The property was immaculate ewhen we arrived. Although full with another much larger family reunion group, everyone was cordial, shared the beach and rec facilities with no problems and both groups were considerate of quiet hours. We just loved Birchwood Cottages!
