Anne -- thank you so much for choosing Birchwood, we are so glad that you all had a wonderful time here enjoying the Adirondacks at a beautiful time of year, and that you got to hear the Loon(s) before they headed south! We'd love to have you back!!

Connrod, we're so glad you came back this year and as always - thank you for being a wonderful guest and your kind words! Looking forward to having you next year!

Micheal - thank you so much for choosing Birchwood for your Adirondack weekend getaway! We hope you enjoyed yourself and would love to have you back!

Michael, thank you so much for the great review. We are so glad we were able to accommodate you on short notice, and that you enjoyed your quiet time at the lake! We appreciate the care you took in our property as well. We'd love to have you back if you're ever looking for another get away! Thanks again!

Aww Thanks!

Sarah - thank you for staying at our property, in our Fireside cottage! We are glad you enjoyed the views and amenities offered at Birchwood Cottages. It is typical in the Adirondacks, for a cottage rental property like ours (very few left operational) to not provide linens to everyone. We are non hospitality cottages, and listed as such (linens not provided) in the VRBO ad. Contract signatures are required after you book because HomeAway/VRBO does not allow a separate contract within their booking process. We would only ever ask you to sign the contract once you've agreed to stay with us - but we have adjusted our verbiage within our ad to be more clear with this additional step. We sincerely apologize for the cleaning mishap. Food left in the refrigerator and have already addressed it directly with our cleaning company -- we strive to prep these cottages appropriately for our incoming guests, and that is something that should never have been missed! We appreciate your review, and are glad you got some time away at the lake!
