What Our Guests Are Saying

  • My husband and I stayed for 3 nights and were so pleased with the accommodations. Michelle and her family have done a wonderful job at creating a beautiful cottage with thoughtful little touches throughout. Michelle is a great and responsive host as well. We felt so comfortable during our stay, enjoying the lake, paddle boating, having a bonfire and relaxing on the dock :)

  • A wonderful, five-star cottage getaway that was exceptionally clean and exactly as advertised. Our family had a fantastic stay here. The place was spotless, comfortable, and matched the listing description perfectly. We wouldn't hesitate to book again!

  • Our family just spent a week at Birchbay and it was a wonderful week! The house is perfect, so cozy and comfortable with every amenity you could want! We appreciated how well stocked the kitchen is!! And it was perfectly clean! It is located in such a quiet and calm neighborhood with the most perfect view of Stewart lake! As a family with older children, we loved how many fun activities are included in the house and out by the dock! We especially loved the lily pad! Highly recommend!

  • We had a wonderful stay at Birch Bay Lakehouse and would highly recommend it. The cottage was spotless, beautifully maintained, and had everything we needed for a relaxing family getaway. It’s clear Michelle has put a great deal of thought into making it welcoming and comfortable. Michelle was a fantastic host, with excellent communication throughout our stay. We would absolutely love to return.

  • We had an amazing stay! The place was exactly as described and had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend. It was clean, comfortable, and really well taken care of. Communication with the host was easy and seamless, and everything from check-in to check-out was smooth. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway.

  • We stayed at Michelle's beautiful Airbnb for a winter getaway/girls trip, and we can't wait to go back! Everything from the location, views, and aesthetic—to the super comfortable beds, cozy furniture, large kitchen, hot tub, and fire pit—was perfect, and we felt right at home. The cottage was spotless, the living room and kitchen were so spacious but also really comfy and made it easy for everyone to hang out, relax, cook meals together, you name it. We also loved that there was more than enough space for everyone to have their own room, and loved all of the amenities! It was also quite peaceful around the cottage, and the lake views were beautiful. We were able to visit a couple of restaurants, too, and it was the perfect getaway. Michelle was always responsive, helpful, and made our stay so welcoming. 10/10 would recommend the cottage and we're looking forward to going back!

  • Michelle’s place was even nicer than the photos. It was the perfect place a ladies’ weekend away—from the immaculate house to the big kitchen to the hot tub. The projector screen in the basement was also perfect for the rainy weather we had. I would definitely stay here again!

  • Birch bay lake house was incredible!
