About this property

Welcome to the cozy and charming BirchCreek Cottage! NBP-2024-315

Welcome to Birch Creek Cottage!

A peaceful 2-bedroom cottage tucked away on 2 private acres with approximately 800 feet of riverfront. Enjoy quiet mornings by the river, evenings around the fire pit, wildlife right outside your door, board games and movies on cozy nights inside.

We’re located on a quiet private road near Lion’s Head, with beach access just one road over and the Bruce Trail and Lion’s Head approximately 10 minutes away.

IMPORTANT OCCUPANCY INFORMATION:
Maximum 4 adults. A 5th guest is permitted only when the 5th guest is a child age 12 or under. We cannot accommodate groups of 5 adults.

The cottage:
2 bedrooms • 1 full bathroom • fully equipped kitchen • open-concept living area • propane backup generator.

Sleeping arrangements include one double bed and two single beds. The top bunk is for children age 12 and under only.

Outside you’ll have plenty of room to relax and enjoy the property, including the fire pit, riverfront and open space. It’s a great little home base for exploring the Northern Bruce Peninsula — or for doing absolutely nothing for a few days.

Pets are welcome with the applicable pet fee. Please make sure all pets are included on your reservation.

EV charging: There is a $30 charge if an electric vehicle is plugged into the cottage.

Birch Creek is meant to be comfortable, peaceful and easy — unpack, light a fire and settle in.

Blissful. Cozy Comfort

The cottage has all of the amenities we needed and then some. It was immaculate, warm and inviting, and a great place to relax at after a long day of hiking. We would definitely choose to return to this getaway the next time we are on the Bruce.

Dannielle was a perfect host. She responded quickly to all of our needs and has done an amazing job ensuring that everything you can possibly need is available at the cottage. We usually bring some pots and pans because we've found that cottages are often stocked with cheap Teflon products, but there was a great set of ceramic pots and pans. Great cottage! Great host! Great location!

Birchcreek cottage

We had a wonderful time while staying here. It was a quiet property and was very comfortable and clean. There was room to set up a playpen for my youngest (too young for a real bed) in the bedrooms. We've recommended this place to family who were looking for somewhere to stay in the area as well while visiting Canada. We'll definitely be back.

Amazing Stay!

The host has thought of everything with this gem of a place! We were lucky to stay for 4 nights. The beds were comfy and the property beautiful. We loved the fire pit at night. It was a great starting point for our adventures and we loved relaxing after a busy day. The host was very communicative. We would definitely recommend this accommodation to others.

This property was so well equipped! We didn't need anything extra. We brought our own Keurig coffee maker but that's just us. My wife has ambulatory issues so the cottage was perfect to get around in. A good location to explore from and visit family and friends.

Very clean. I know that because I was looking for a lost item everywhere, under beds and dressers. Clean‼ The owner promptly answered emails. The location was very quiet and a 12 minute walk to the lake and a five minute drive to the sandy beach.

This cottage was a fantastic experience. Three of us, and a dog, stayed for 7 nights. During the booking, prior to arrival and during our stay, the host was spectacularly communicative and pleasant. There were so many goodies at the cottage, including instant coffee, some snacks and a few sodas. Everything was spotless and smelled great. The outdoor area is a truly wonderful spot to relax, listen to the birds singing at any time of day, and take in the country/forest smells. Kitchen was very well equipped with everything you might need and more. It felt really attentively taken care of. It’s located close to anything you might need or want to see. Our dog, a beagle, was thrilled with all the scent work he could do in the area! I can’t say enough great things. We are sure to be back, and highly recommend this property. Honestly, the photos don’t do this lovely cottage justice!
