About this property

The Birch, West Porters Lake

  • The Birch at Lawrencetown Lodge is one of five private, luxury-focused cottages nestled in nature. This cozy 320 sq. ft. studio features an open-concept living and sleeping area with an electric fireplace, full kitchen, and full bathroom. Enjoy your private outdoor space with a BBQ, fire pit, and private 4-seater hot tub.

    Lawrencetown Lodge is a forest-nestled cottage village designed for a peaceful, nature-immersed stay. While we are close to amenities and the city, you will feel tucked away in the trees.
