Welcome to Birch Beach Lake House on Lake Huron near Goderich—where quality meets comfort. With private lake access, a sauna, hot tub, and games room, it’s the perfect escape for families or friends to relax, reconnect, and celebrate. Warm, beautiful, and packed with thoughtful amenities, this cottage-style retreat offers peaceful lake views, cozy gathering spaces, and even a chance to feed goats in the nearby community!
INSIDE
When you walk through the front door of Birch Beach Lake House, I hope the first thing you feel is ease—as if the weight of life just dropped off your shoulders. You’ll step into a warm, welcoming great room with beautiful exposed beams, soft light, and plenty of space to settle in and breathe.
The kitchen is a space you’ll truly enjoy. It’s fully stocked with everything you need to prepare your favorite meals, featuring a Viking gas stove and a central island so friends and family can gather around—whether they’re lending a hand or simply keeping you company. One of my favorite things to do is fire up the wood-fired pizza oven and make dinner an experience in itself.
When it’s time to eat, you can gather around the large dining table inside, overlooking the lake, or take things outdoors to a round dining table that makes conversation easy and natural.
You’ll also find a games room where older kids (and kids at heart) can challenge each other to Frogger or shuffleboard. There’s even a karaoke machine if the mood strikes! Downstairs, you can cozy up by the gas fireplace in the rec room for a movie night, or sneak in a quick workout on the treadmill in the fitness area.

OUTSIDE
Start your mornings with a hot coffee on the front porch, tucked into Adirondack chairs as the sun rises over the quiet farm fields. In the afternoon, grab a glass of wine and a good book and settle into the screened sunroom—the perfect cozy spot rain or shine.
There are lots of games to enjoy in the yard, including a badminton net, and there’s plenty of comfortable seating and a hammock where you can lounge and take in the views.
When you're ready to explore the water, take the private staircase—about 80 steps—down to the lake. While there’s some cement rubble at the bottom of the stairs, just turn left and hop over the breakwall to discover your own private beach deck. You’ll find two kayaks and a paddleboard waiting there, all set for your lake adventure.
In the evening, gather around the firepit with marshmallows and a good ghost story, watching one of Lake Huron’s world-famous sunsets. And if you're lucky you can try to catch the rare double sunset—a Goderich gem, and your front-row seat is right here.
Dogs are welcome too—I allow up to two—and if they’re anything like mine, they’ll love running free in the yard while you settle into a slower pace.
NOTE: Approx. 80 stairs to the lake. The shoreline changes quite rapidly - it can be sandy or it can be gravelly and that could change in 1 day! There are no weeds and it's fun to find the ever changing sandbars.

ABOUT YOUR HOST:
I'm Jennifer, I started CottageStays to share my own home with like-minded travelers who appreciate escaping to life at a slower pace. I've never forgotten how lucky I am to call Lake Huron home. Now more than ever, everyone is in need of the kind of peace and quiet that escaping to the lake can bring. It's my absolute privilege to be the one to provide families and friends a special place to gather and create memories while exploring an area so near and dear to me.
