#3 Chester @ Birchwood Cottages at Loon Lake. Family Friendly Waterfront

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. Garbage to be taken to onsite dumpster. Recycling must be taken to local landfill.

The Chester is a 2 bedroom cottage (2 queen, pull out twin, day bed on porch) and will accommodate 5 people, with 2 small bathrooms – 1 off of each bedroom (with stall showers). Includes a small kitchen, dining and living area. The screened porch and lake views are the perfect way to relax an afternoon away!

We offer plenty of private parking for vehicles, boats and their trailers, cable television, wifi, campfire pit, and charcoal grill. Swim area with floating dock, 25'long deep water boat dock, 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.

Unique & cute

Had trouble unlocking door because I was not familiar with key fob. Easy after that. Beds were very comfortable, even the sleeper sofa was. The coffee pot didn't work, but I didn't bother to notify Patrick as I was the only person that wanted hot coffee. Nice tight screened in porch, no bugs. Will be visiting that area again.

This property was just what we needed, close to my family that lives in Riparius. Everything you need for the night or a week, and in a beautiful location :) Would definitely bring my family back

Things you should know

For people who are ok with disconnecting and bringing everything to the rental, this is perfect for you. Otherwise, you might want to reconsider. Pros: 1) The lake is across the street. Very beautiful. 2) Kitchen is well-stocked with expected appliances and utensils. MIcrowave and oven worked. I didn't use the stove. 3) Property manager responded quickly to messages and referred me to the caretaker for questions. 4) I felt safe. 5) All lights and hot water worked. Cons: 1) Property is very dark at night. There are no outside lights near the cottage so I used a flashlight to find it. 2) To me, if a property has such a strict cancellation policy, I need all details to make a decision prior to booking. When staying here, you have to bring your own sheets, pillowcases, towels, toilet tissue, paper towel, dish soap, hand soap. I HATE that you don't know what until after you book. I booked within the 30 days so I couldn't cancel if I wanted to. 3) The wi-fi is pretty much nonexistent. So much so that it shouldn't be labeled as a feature. They should market it as off the grid. Phone signal can be spotty but I had great service in the bedroom closest to the kitchen area. I have T-Mobile but when roaming, AT&T would pop up. So I think if you have AT&T, even better. 4) The property could be better maintained. All the flags hanging outside were pitiful in appearance and part of a window frame was peeling off in the kitchen. 5) The TV didn't work. Said no signal. I didn't care that much but you might. 6) No central temperature control. They provided 2 radiators for heat. So when we checked in, the cottage was freezing! 7) They have you take the trash to the local dump after your stay. Stay was ok but not a good fit for me and my family. I want to be informed of things that make a stay unique, like bringing your own sheets. If you're used to these things, however, you'll have a great stay.

Better off paying a little extra somewhere else

A bit run down and could just some renovations. We've stayed at many cottages and this one just feels moist and gross. Door handles and floors are gross. Microwave was brand new. Both showers are extremely tight. You basically have to stand in one position while using it. It got pretty cold at night and they only supplied one heater (we had two bedrooms-pretty awkward to keep the bedroom doors open to share the heater). We only had hot water on the first night. The next two nights one 1 of us was lucky to get hot water. The remaining 4 of us had freezing cold showers. The TV didn't work and we had to text/call for the Wifi PW (which barely worked). One of the beds had a huge pee stain on it. They definitely didn't change the sheets. Luckily, we brought our own but that was pretty gross. We were charged a cleaning fee which i feel is a complete rip off because there were notices left stating we had to mop/sweep/vacuum before leaving. Also, we were responsible for dumping our trash at the town dump. It isn't far (10 mins away) but you have to pay and we ended up waiting on line for about 20 mins. Why charge us a cleaning fee if we had to do it ourselves? The most annoying thing was we weren't allowed to use the boats/kayaks. And the rec room was closed. We totally understand it's due to the pandemic but we should've been given a heads up! Why isn't the description updated? We wouldn't have chose this place if we knew. That's just wrong. Lastly, on our third night, we sat on the front deck chatting and had to go inside because someone starting pointing a spot light on us from the mainhouse. So rude.
