Great place to stay!

The property was great! It was large enough for a family of 4, it was only 15 minutes from Bancroft, 10 minutes from a fantastic beach and Deb was very attentive to our needs.

Property was very clean and the host was very thoughtful when stocking the rental with a full kitchen, books, games, and movies. There are some needed renovations that are scheduled for this fall, but everything is usable as is.

Its a home away from home. Highly recommend. We be back as long the elderly i look after health is good to visit his old time friend.

We had a family getaway at Birch Haven and it was a lovely experience. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed to cook our food. The rooms were well furnished. The outdoor firepit was very nice, just bring your own firewood. We didn't know that but it was easy to buy some firewood from owners on-site as they live in the upper section of the house. Deb was highly responsive and kept us posted on all updates. Overall a very nice stay.

Staying at Birch Haven

The property is set back away from the road and opens up to reveal the place you will be staying. It is quiet and serene. A short drive to Papineau beach or Bancroft to get supplies. Debora is a wonderful host who is sure to make your stay comfortable and has a number of resources to help you find the activities to take part in around Bancroft. The place is very nice, clean and quiet. Would definitely recommend.
