Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 20 May 2019 #### Peaceful waterfront luxury cottage My children and I enjoyed Birch Haven this past weekend. We made full use of the property. In the evenings while it rained we did some of the puzzles that are offered onsite. We loved waking up to the beautiful views and the sounds of the birds. My kids enjoyed playing with frogs and chopping wood and just all in all being outside looking at all things nature. We borrowed the row boat and did a day excursion over to the provincial park which made for a fun easy outing. At night its so quiet and peaceful and even enjoyed the sound of the rain on the roof. The cabin is super clean and very comfortable for our family of 5. It is well stocked with pretty much everything you need and the robes are a nice touch. The beds and pillows are a DREAM. We had the best sleeps. We enjoyed the big table for puzzles and games and enjoyed a few meals on the deck with the mosquitos (lol). Its so nice to have a getaway where you just show up with whatever clothes, food and a cold beverage or two and you are literally in paradise. Thanks for having us!!! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in May 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Charlie D. 16 May 2019 #### A Peaceful Getaway To say the views are spectacular is an understatement.

It is comfortable and there are amazing views from the house and beach. Remco and Erin were nice and responded quickly. ##### David P. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2017 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michelle M. 14 Sept 2017 #### Beautiful cottage on Horsefly Lake We had a wonderful stay at Birch Haven - what a beautiful cottage - with wall to wall windows letting in the sunshine. We had an amazing time in this immaculate home away from home overlooking pristine Horsefly Lake where the wildlife is abundant and the loons will sing you to sleep. If you want quiet- this is the place for you and the sunsets are amazing. Our hosts Remco and Erin have thought of everything to make your stay so relaxing - there is nothing they have not thought of to make you stay absolutely enjoyable. Talk about thoughtful - on our last day our power was out and about 9:30 our host Remco shows up at the cottage with coffee and cookies (home baked) in hand - it was just what we needed!!! We would highly recommend this property and our hosts Remco and Erin Michelle and Brett ##### Michelle M. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Tofino Resort & Marina](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tofino-Hotels-Tofino-Resort-Marina.h1054456.Hotel-Information) > > [Long Beach Lodge Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tofino-Hotels-Long-Beach-Lodge-Resort.h1892359.Hotel-Information) > > [The Crimson Jasper](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jasper-Hotels-The-Crimson-Jasper.h28261.Hotel-Information) > > [Alt Hotel Halifax Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Halifax-Hotels-Alt-Hotel-Halifax-Airport.h6159326.Hotel-Information) > > [Lake Louise Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Louise-Hotels-Lake-Louise-Inn.h74992.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Whitby by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oshawa-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Whitby.h456085.Hotel-Information) > > [Black Rock Oceanfront Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tofino-Hotels-Black-Rock-Oceanfront-Resort.h2432309.Hotel-Information) > > [Glacier House Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Revelstoke-Hotels-Glacier-House-Resort.h2832756.Hotel-Information) > > [Baker Creek By Basecamp](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Louise-Hotels-Baker-Creek-Mountain-Resort.h7710611.Hotel-Information) > > [Alpine Meadows Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Clearwater-Hotels-Alpine-Meadows-Resort.h12489764.Hotel-Information) > > [Prestige Oceanfront Resort, WorldHotels Luxury](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Victoria-Hotels-Prestige-Oceanfront-Resort.h4423936.Hotel-Information) > > [Eagle Bluff Bed & Breakfast](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Prince-Rupert-Hotels-Eagle-Bluff-Lighthouse-Bed-Breakfast.h10119974.Hotel-Information) > > [Jasper Inn & Suites by INNhotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jasper-Hotels-Jasper-Inn-Suites-By-Sunrise.h32667087.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn by Hilton Sydney](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Membertou-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-By-Hilton-Sydney-Nova-Scotia.h4905064.Hotel-Information) > > [Sun Peaks Grand Hotel & Conference Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kamloops-Hotels-Sun-Peaks-Grand-Hotel-Conference-Centre.h888272.Hotel-Information) > > [Emerald Lake Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Golden-Hotels-Emerald-Lake-Lodge.h191535.Hotel-Information) > > [Harrison Hot Springs Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chilliwack-Hotels-Harrison-Hot-Springs-Resort-And-Spa.h553971.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Louise-Hotels-Fairmont-Chateau-Lake-Louise.h22503.Hotel-Information) > > [Penticton Lakeside Resort and Conference Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penticton-Hotels-Penticton-Lakeside-Resort-And-Conference-Centre.h17500.Hotel-Information) > > [Moberly Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Golden-Hotels-Moberly-Lodge.h11765247.Hotel-Information) > > [Whistler's Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jasper-Hotels-Whistlers-Inn.h920356.Hotel-Information) > > [Forest Park Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jasper-Hotels-Sawridge-Inn-Jasper.h126160.Hotel-Information) > > [Sunshine Mountain Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sunshine-Hotels-Sunshine-Mountain-Lodge.h894279.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jasper-Hotels-Fairmont-Jasper-Park-Lodge.h24928.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Bungalows](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jasper-Hotels-Pine-Bungalows.h37405792.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Pembroke by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pembroke-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Pembroke.h5598436.Hotel-Information) > > [Pyramid Lake Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jasper-Hotels-Pyramid-Lake-Resort.h487039.Hotel-Information) > > [Castle Mountain Chalets](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Castle-Junction-Hotels-Castle-Mountain-Chalets.h6508769.Hotel-Information) > > [Banff Gate Mountain Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Canmore-Hotels-Banff-Gate-Mountain-Resort.h5900828.Hotel-Information)
