About this property

The Birch, West Porters Lake

The Birch at Lawrencetown Lodge is one of five private, luxury-focused cottages nestled in nature. This cozy 320 sq. ft. studio features an open-concept living and sleeping area with an electric fireplace, full kitchen, and full bathroom. Enjoy your private outdoor space with a BBQ, fire pit, and off-grid wood-fired cedar barrel hot tub surrounded by trees—perfect for reconnecting with nature in comfort and style.

Lawrencetown Lodge is a forest-nestled cottage village designed for a peaceful, nature-immersed stay. While we are close to amenities and the city, you will feel tucked away in the trees. Winter stays may include snow, and true seasonal weather, part of the charm of our year-round experience. Our wood-fired hot tub requires guest preparation time and adds to an off-grid rustic experience.
