About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Lakefront spacious contemporary. Large families welcome. Ski GORE nearby!

This is a weekly rental (Saturday to Saturday, 7 nights) during the summer season (June 15-Sept 1). Shorter length stays available on the shoulders and off-season (2 night min). Cottages available May 1 till Oct 31. Lodge available all year.

Linens, towels, and paper goods NOT provided. Dumpster on property for garbage. Recycling must take to local landfill (pass provided).

The Lodge at Birchwood Cottages on Loon Lake, Chestertown NY is a huge contemporary Adirondack lake lodge. Fully furnished with spectacular views of Loon Lake from all areas of the house, with an all glass front. Come to relax by the fire or participate in many local outdoor activities. 3,600 square feet of wonderful modern living space for your next family vacation or reunion! The Lodge includes a gourmet kitchen with connected dining area for large feast gatherings; four bedrooms plus wonderful loft off the master bedroom, 3 full bathrooms, dishwasher, washer & dryer, radiant floor heating.

Sleeps up to 14 people. Lots of floor space to put your kids on an air mattress (not included).
Master Bedroom: 1 king, 1 full, 1 cot
Upstairs bedroom 1: 1 queen
Upstairs bedroom 2: 1 queen
Downstairs bedroom: 1 queen, 2 twin
Master balcony: 1 queen
Living room: 3 couches (non pull out)

We offer plenty of private parking for vehicles, boats and their trailers, cable television, WiFi, campfire pit, propane fireplace and propane grill. Swim area with floating dock, boat dock for up to 25ft boats, and sandy beach are available for no additional charge between Memorial Day and Labor Day.

Enjoy fishing, swimming, boating and picnicking on beautiful Loon Lake or the many other Adirondack Lakes nearby. Visit Lake George's famous attractions just a short 25 minute drive away. Spend time at neighboring fun spots including Frontier Town, Schroon Lake, Natural Stone Bridge and Caves, Scenic Gore Mountain -- gondola rides, and Ausable Chasm! Horseback riding and golfing are also available nearby!

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.

Pleasant getaway
What a perfect retreat this house was. My group and I very much enjoyed our stay here, we are already planning another trip sometime this fall to see how gorgeous it is with all the fall foliage. The house was spacious, clean, and just perfect for a large group of people.

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
