All well behaved pets are welcome at Birchwood! Small pet fee is extra. We do ask that they remain leashed at all times while on our property. Please pick up after your pets indoors and outdoors. We prefer that they remain downstairs if staying in the Lodge and off the beds/furniture in all units (as to help keep allergens to a minimum).
Due to NYS Department of Health regulations, dogs are not allowed at the beach, in the designated swim area. We do however, have plenty of lakefront shoreline for dogs to enjoy, docks to jump from and some shallow exit areas as well. If you are using Birchwood as a base for a day trip, we ask that you take your pet with you. If that's not possible, we'd be more than happy to recommend a local "pet day care". Leaving your pet behind without supervision is not permitted. We don't want them to be frightened or rowdy while you're away -- after all they should enjoy vacation as well.
Additional cottages available on property for the extended family that wants their own space at additional cost. Rec Room is open to all Birchwood guests.
You must provide email address for forwarding of lock box access code, beach waiver, etc. Off VRBO communication is automated and limited. Every reservation requires acknowledgement of receiving and reviewing the Property Rules and Terms of Service.

We recently stayed at the cottage and had a wonderful time. It has a very spacious kitchen and living room area for all to enjoy. There are so many DVDs and games to keep us entertained throughout the week. Patrick was an excellent host and very responsive.

Our family had a wonderful time once again at the Birchwood cottages. The hosts were wonderful, communicative and helped to make our stay enjoyable. Thank you for helping us make lasting memories (and for sending items we accidentally left behind :))!

My friends and I visited mid September, it was very quiet and not many people around. A door handle broke off and the home owners were there in no time to fix it! I highly recommend this house! Great views and plenty of things to do!

The house is large and comfortable with good light. The view of Loon lake is relaxing. My only negative thought would be the location of house next to route 9. The road noise is quite loud especially the logging trucks, that seem to run 24/7.

I have so many good things to say about this place. It's very spacious, very clean, and it's pet friendly. This is not the first time I booked this place for my birthday weekend :) and always had a great time staying. Plus it's very close to Gore Mountain Ski Resort where we always go snowboarding. The only problem that I have is the hot shower :( we stayed for 2 nights and the next day hot shower is not working, it was too cold to take a shower during winter lol, but other than that this place is AMAZING. This is my 2nd year coming back and we did have a great time! Thank you Patrick! :)

Our hosts were very hospitable and accomdating. We had one small issue with the internet that was remedied very quickly. They dressed up the house with lights and a tree which made the whole event so much more special. We all appreciated the opportunity to gather in the lodge and use the game room too!

A great place!
Property was awesome - had plenty of room and everything necessary. Only real drawback was the busy road you had to cross to get to beach, but once there - Awesome!
We did have an elderly family member and would recommend a hand rail off the front porch because it is pretty bid step to the ground

OVERALL IT’S THE BEST PLACE TO STAY!!!!!
I have so many good things to say about this place. And let me start by telling you that if you’re looking for a huge place with a perfect view, like beautiful sunrise/sunset you should get this place. Me, my family and my friends stayed here for a weekend and we are so amazed by how huge and beautiful this cabin is. It’s so clean and peaceful. And the owner is so friendly! Anything we need during our stay, they are just one msg away. So convenient!! We celebrated my birthday and went to gore mountain to ski the next day. It is 20mins away from the Ski resort. And everything there is convenient! Close to liquor stores, wallgreens and anything you need! If only I could give it 10 stars I would! 🤩🤩🤩
THANK YOU SO MUCH TO MARGO & PATRICK FOR LETTING US STAY HERE DURING MY BIRTHDAY WEEKEND!😍 We would love to be back here this coming summer to enjoy the lake nextime! Love love love it!!!❤️❤️❤️

Lodge at Birchwood
We had a wonderful time at the Lodge. It is spacious, clean and has amazing views of Loon Lake. The Christmas decorations and lights were a nice touch. The McGowan’s are great hosts. I would definitely stay there again.

Great Place
My husband and twenty-year-old son and daughter stayed here for a week before Christmas. It is a great location and the house is large and comfortable. The area of the Adirondacks is beautiful with Gore Ski area very close by as well as many hiking trails. The nearby restaurants were excellent (and open for take out). We had a great stay.

My stay at Birchwood cottages
Had a wonderful time. Our cottage was facing Loon lake and it was just heaven to look at. We did the campfire, hiking, row boating, kayaking and relaxation. The cottage was beautiful and well equipped . I have reccommended this place to a few of my friends. Would like to visit again maybe next year.

Annual family ski trip
I have been searching for the perfect place for our annual ski trip to Adirondacks for our growing family. My search is over! The Lodge met all our needs. We are a family that loves to cook, and the kitchen was so spacious we all had our own area to prepare our part. We were able to gather around the fireplace and play games and the chess players had an area that was always at the ready. The beds were comfortable and everyone had one! The skiers were pleased the drive to Gore was under a 1/2 hour and the hikers loved the endless trails behind the camp. Margo was very helpful and always quick to respond. We have found our reunion home!

Huge Place Great Location
We stayed in the Lodge. It had plenty of space for 12 of us to gather. The master bedroom is huge with two attached small rooms with full size beds. It was an extravagant amount of space for my wife and I and our two kids. The house is well stocked with board games and the attached rec room kept the kids entertained. The beach was very nice and had a small boat, paddle boat, and plenty of sand toys for the kids.
Patrick was on site and extremely helpful. Our group turned out to be smaller than originally planned and he allowed us to cancel our associated cottage reservation
Overall great place and we plan to return to the lodge mid winter for skiing.
