All well behaved pets are welcome at Birchwood! Small pet fee is extra. We do ask that they remain leashed at all times while on our property. Please pick up after your pets indoors and outdoors. We prefer that they remain downstairs if staying in the Lodge and off the beds/furniture in all units (as to help keep allergens to a minimum). Due to NYS Department of Health regulations, dogs are not allowed at the beach, in the designated swim area. We do however, have plenty of lakefront shoreline for dogs to enjoy, docks to jump from and some shallow exit areas as well. If you are using Birchwood as a base for a day trip, we ask that you take your pet with you. If that's not possible, we'd be more than happy to recommend a local "pet day care". Leaving your pet behind without supervision is not permitted. We don't want them to be frightened or rowdy while you're away -- after all they should enjoy vacation as well. Additional cottages available on property for the extended family that wants their own space at additional cost. Rec Room is open to all Birchwood guests.
You must provide email address for forwarding of lock box access code, beach waiver, etc. Off VRBO communication is automated and limited. Every reservation requires acknowledgement of receiving and reviewing the Property Rules and Terms of Service.

Will - we are so glad you enjoyed your stay at Birchwood Cottages and enjoyed your cabin (we are very fond of the view ourselves)! We look forward to having you again, and thanks for the review!
We had a great stay. Only thing different than what we thought was location. The lake is right there but you have to cross the road in front of the property to get to the lake.
The cabin did have a view of the lake from the top of the hill. Everything else was really wonderful. Highly recommend.

Jenn, we're so glad you were able to enjoy your time at the cottage and the beautiful lake that we cherish so much. We're double checking all of our descriptions to make sure they do say the lake is across the road - we'd remove the road if we could! We'd love to have you back!
We really enjoyed our stay at Birchwood Cottages. The cabin was very quaint, clean and well kept. The pool table and ping-pong table in the rec room were a fun plus and the location was great and very easy to get to. Communication with the owners was excellent as well. We called to ask a question and received a call back immediately with the information that we needed. All in all, this was a very good value for the money.

Teri - we are so very glad that you chose to stay at our Birchwood Cottages and thank you for the great review and feedback! We'd love to have you back next time you are looking for an ADK Lake getaway!
We were very happy with our stay at Birchwood Cottages! The place was clean and the kitchen and bathroom were updated, which was a plus.
Loon Lake was a nice small lake, but we loved how convenient the location was. We were able to drive easily over to Lake George, which was only about a half hour away, and we went up to Lake Placid, which was an hour away.
It was a nice long weekend to get away, we would stay here again!

About the host
Hosted by Patrick McGowan
About the Owners: Birchwood Cottages is family owned and operated by Patrick and Margo McGowan and Jenn & Steve Hazelton, under our LLC, ADK Birchwood. Patrick & Margo McGowan, and Steve & Jenn Hazelton have loved the Adirondack Park for decades and had been searching for the perfect spot to make their own in the Adirondacks. Margo and Patrick have always been drawn to the park; they were engaged in Brant Lake (just down the road) and married in Lake Placid, and vacationed in the ADKs just about every year since then. Jenn and Steve were becoming quite the Adirondack groupies, scouring property and vacationing in various spots within the blue line for years and years, it was time to put down some roots.
Why they chose this property
How we came to love Birchwood: Margo had known about Birchwood Cottages for about 15 years, as she went to college with the previous owners daughter, and had visited Birchwood a few times throughout her college days. In years passed, she had always toyed with the idea of buying Birchwood – but considered it pipe dreams at best. In the summer of 2015, the McGowan’s came to Birchwood to have a mini college reunion with her friends and classmates, and it was then, that the timing was right to call Birchwood home! After a quick discussion with Art and Jill Spierre, and a seemingly short drive for Jen and Steve to check the place out, a handshake sealed the deal. The Hazelton’s and McGowan’s spent the summer back and forth to Birchwood, and in discussions with Art and Jill, and were finally able to call Bircwood theirs in September 2015.
Our goal is to keep Birchwood as a family friendly vacation spot for our loyal guests AND NEW ONES, so they too, can call Birchwood home (if even for a week or 2) for years and years to come!
What makes this property unique
Birchwood Cottages is a delightful set of cottages, and one large main house (The Lodge), settled on the north west shore of Loon Lake surrounded by the Adirondack Mountains. During the summer the cottages can be rented by the week and include a nice sandy beach for the kids to play and swim. Our swimming area is easily accessible by steps that lead to a sandy gradual walk-in, and include a floating dock.
Loon Lake is a nicely tucked away little treasure in Chestertown, NY. There are multitudes of activities to do for a day trip- or never leave the beach- which ever you prefer. Full service marina located across the lake for all of your boating needs, and our large boat docks can accommodate any size boat!
