We really enjoyed our stay. It was obvious that the owner put in a lot of time, effort, and love into this cottage. We hope to make it an annual getaway.
Birch Creek cottage was delightful. Our host made the entire experience a great one. We would return in a heartbeat. The location on the Peninsula is very convenient to many of the activities.
Everything was incredible. The host, Danielle, was so thoughtful and amazing, she really took care of us and was able to assist us with whatever we needed. It was a truly wonderful stay and the house was beautiful and very cozy. We had a very memorable Christmas and would highly recommend to anyone thinking of a getaway by the lake!
The property is beautiful and very well kept! The location is in a prime spot to see many different things. The owners are so kind!! I would definitely stay there again and would recommend it to everyone!!

You guys were wonderful guests! If I didn’t know any better I swear you guys were never here! You took care of my favourite place in the world so thank you! You’re welcome back anytime! I hope you made some great memories here in your anniversary! Thanks again!
This property is simply charming. Danielle is a very attentive host. She is very responsive to guests, and has provided everything you need to have a perfect, relaxing stay. The property is a short easy drive to the Bruce Trail and to Lions Head.
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.

You guys were fabulous! Please come back anytime! Thanks for choosing us!
Happy to stay in this cozy, clean and comfortable house with great view. Convenient place to visit Bruce Peninsula National Park. Great and quick communication with property owner/manager who are very caring and kind. Excellent experience!!!
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!

Thank you ! You guys were wonderful to host I’m so happy you enjoyed my place and surrounding area! I’m glad I got to share my favourite spot with you and your guests! Come back anytime!
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.
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.

Awe! Thank you! You guys are welcome back anytime! Enjoy your adventure!
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!
Lots of thoughtful extras like playpen, snacks, games, activity books, sauces in the fridge, umbrellas ect. Bring your own shampoo and conditioner. Fire starter is 3
