This cottage was PERFECT for a stay in Birch Bay. Quiet location just off the waterfront and super easy to get to coffee in the morning, ice cream in the afternoon, and several restaurants in easy walking distance. The cottage itself is a dream! A well-equipped kitchen packed into this little footprint, and a comfy bedroom with plenty of closet space. Extra bonus--actual handcrafted bunkbeds for 2 more guests (we didn't use them, but now are thinking . . . summer fun!). Thermostat worked great, too--our weather was a bit chilly, and the heat warmed up the cottage quickly and efficiently. The host, Jeannie, was professional & so quick to communicate with. Believe it, too, when we say that all you need to bring is yourselves and your outfits. She's thoughtfully taken care to provide toiletries, extra linens and towels, and the cottage has clear (and cute!) signage telling you where all of your supplies are. It was super smooth checking in, using the entry lock, and super easy to check out, except for the "leaving" part. Hopefully, we'll be back soon.
