About this property
Point Whitehorn Cottage by Gather: Coastal Retreat w/ Ocean Views, Deck & Beach
Wake up at Point Whitehorn Cottage to wide-open water views, cedar-lined ceilings overhead, and the calm rhythm of Birch Bay just beyond your windows. This spacious coastal holiday home is designed for gathering, with layered living spaces, a dramatic stone fireplace, and a wraparound deck that keeps the ocean always in sight.
What You'll Love About Point Whitehorn Cottage • Elevated ocean views from main living areas and outdoor deck • Private beach access just steps away • Two distinct living rooms, ideal for groups and families • Soaring cedar ceilings and a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace • Expansive wraparound deck with lounge seating and grill
Living & Dining The main living area is striking yet inviting. A two-story stone fireplace anchors the space, framed by vaulted cedar tongue-and-groove ceilings and warm hardwood floors. Large windows pull in natural light and showcase the water, creating a constant connection to the coast. A second living room offers a more relaxed setting with a large sectional and direct access to the deck, perfect for film nights or quiet mornings. The dining area sits beside picture windows, where long meals unfold with views of the bay.
Chef-Ready Kitchen The kitchen is both functional and social. A central island with bar seating invites conversation, while stainless steel appliances, including a double oven, make it easy to cook for a full house. Clean lines, generous counter space, and an open layout keep everything flowing.
Outdoor Oasis Step onto the wraparound deck and take in the coastal air. Lounge seating creates an easy outdoor living room, while the grill sets the stage for casual dinners at sunset. Just beyond, private beach access puts shoreline walks, tide pooling, and saltwater breezes within easy reach.

Thank you for the enthusiastic review. When the home and its setting both hit the mark, the rest of the trip tends to take care of itself. We'd be happy to welcome you back with Gather whenever you're craving a change of scenery.
