Cottage vacation rentals in Birch Bay

The place was surrounded by trees that made it private. I loved the fire pit, it was great to sit out with a glass of wine around the fire. The amenity building is a short walk. The nature trails just make you feel like you’re camping, yet you have a woodland cottage instead of a tent. Such a beautiful place. I stayed in April, off season. So very quiet. I met some of the owners and they love living there. The pond is like a painting with the Canadian geese, willow trees and cedar trees. Like wow! Very well maintained place. Amanda is responsive and easy host.

We spent four days with our family at Ally’s beautiful cottage over Christmas. The place was pristine and had everything we needed. The location was so peaceful and quiet as well. Highly recommend this property and will go back!

We had a very nice stay in Shari's cottage. The house is exactly as the pictures show, and it was very clean when we arrived. Even if the house is not huge it was perfectly sized for a family of 4. The surroundings are very nice with scenic views from home on the mountains around. The entire property is secured and has good amenities (a playroom for kids, a gym, swimming pools, and even a pond if you wanna have a little stroll). Cultus lake and Lindell Beach is close even if it is best to go there by car rather than walking. Shari has been very responsive and we appreciated the equipment for young children since we have a toddler, and also the board games for winter nights in front of the chimney :) Would definitely recommend!

We loved our stay at Fernweh Cottage. The house was beautifully decorated with great attention to detail. The house has probably the best location at Cottages at Cultus Lake - a very short walk to the pool and amenities, but in a peaceful setting with a direct view onto the beautiful forest. Lots to do nearby for adults and kids. There is a playroom and playground next to the pool which kept our 2 year old entertained. We also loved visiting Cultus Lake and doing a number of hikes nearby. Shelley was so helpful and responsive. We were visiting for a wedding and she even went out of her way to leave a steamer out for us. Would definitely recommend a stay here.

Great family spot near Cultus Lake. Amenities were fantastic for our family of 5. Lots to do if you want, but also great place to just relax and chill if that’s what you’re after. The cottage is exactly as described and seen in photos. Dainia is a wonderful host and went above and beyond - even mailing me a few items we forgot when we left. Thanks for a great stay!

What a fantastic place! From the view to the hot tub to the really great and well stocked space, we had an amazing stay here with everything that we needed. Even some toys for my toddler! This is a real gem and my only regret is that we didn’t stay longer. I could spend days sitting in the sun room or on the deck watching the wildlife and the view. We will definitely be back! Thanks Carol for a wonderful stay.

Izabelas home was just as lovely as her ! Izabela always answered in a timely manner was happy to provide us with information on local things to do provided a safe clean beautiful cottage for our family and us to enjoy and make more memories. Her place was close to all amenities and even with the rain we enjoyed ourselves. One of our favorite family spots for the books ! Thank you for having us :)

Amazing property. Amazing host. Amazing getaway with my family. Carly is a great host and I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone!

The North Beach Inn was the perfect stay for our trip to Orcas Island. Waking up to the beach in the morning and watching the wildlife like the seals and bald eagles was a nice way to start the day. We played the board games provided and had a wonderful fire on the beach. I would definitely stay here again and recommend this spot to my friends!

We very much enjoyed our stay at Linda and Brad’s cottage. It was the perfect place for a weekend get-away. The directions to get to the cabin were wonderfully specific and it was so nice of Linda to send us a reminder to book ferry reservations well before our stay (seriously, don’t wait!). While the cottage was next to the house, the huge windows overlook the water and you have complete privacy. The kitchen is very well-stocked and we particularly enjoyed the local coffee beans that were available. We also very much enjoyed sating “hi” to Toby (their dog) every time we left and returned to the cottage. Orcas island was great for a relaxing weekend away! We were able to enjoy a few hikes, and some good food. Cannot recommend the breakfast burrito from Cafe Aurora in Eastsound enough - one of the top five best things I have ever eaten. We may have to plan a trip back just to get that burrito again! Big thanks to Linda, Brad, Blue, and Toby for hosting us.

My first Airbnb experience was excellent. I hope future Airbnb stays will be nothing less, Eryn sets the bar very high! I spent 3 nights with 3 grandsons who loved The Shack as well. It felt very much like a home away from home with the cabin well stocked with everything we needed and more. Thank you, Eryn! And thank you to the cleaning lady who stocked the freezer with cold treats that the boys enjoyed on our arrival.

we enjoyed our time there so much that we extended our stay an extra day, and almost another day after that, but we needed to go home. The lapping of the waves and the beautiful sunsets are just the peace and tranquility that we needed. We will definitely stay again!

Beautiful view of the north side of the island. Well stocked kitchen, fun private beach, lots of fun extra touches around the house. A lot bigger than the listing, was a great place for a home base and we can't wait to stay again. Responsive host.

Me and my Girlfriend had the most wonderful peaceful time at Susan’s Cottage! The surrounding restaurants were great and lots to do! We both loved to walk and see the amazing Gorgeous shoreline! Also a hidden treasure that I wanted to see was the house they used from the movie Tron legacy which can be viewed during your walk along the shore. For anyone wondering Susan is a Lovely host and goes above and beyond to make sure you feel right at home! And if you were thinking about inviting your parents over there is plenty of parking and lovely space to sit down and converse! Also the backyard is lovely and peaceful to sit down and just relax thinking about life. Out of all the Airbnb I have stayed at I felt right at home and was well worth it! Can’t wait to come back and I hope if your reading this you will enjoy the peaceful time me and my girlfriend had there! Until next time Thankyou Susan!!!

Quaint, cozy cottage in a fantastic neighborhood. I appreciated the detached nature of the cottage. A lot of spaces in this area are part of the host's main house and our preference is to be separate. Richard, the host, was very responsive to my requests and provided detailed instructions on entering the cottage and check out activities. The water pressure was excellent in the shower, better than any hotel. Lovely garden and blooming flowers.

After visiting Harrison Mills with the kids last year, we wanted to go back and spend more time in this beautiful area. Luckily, I found Tracy's house. The location is just perfect: right next to a quiet lake surrounded by mountains. We were very happy to try sailing on a catamaran during the day, fishing and spending the evenings by the fire. The house is very cozy and warm. It has everything you need. Our kids enjoyed playing with board games and toys. We were able to visit nearby farms, a Kilby museum with an Easter event and vintage shops within 20 minutes drive.Communication with the owner was very easy, she was very nice and helpful. We would love to comeback to your house again. All the best 💜

We had a wonderful stay at Joe's place above his pottery studio. The place itself was comfortable and peaceful, and very walkable to beach and Doe Bay cafe. Our most delightful experience was with Joe himself. He twice brought us toys for our toddler, and picked flowers for her. We got to understand his perspective on the island as a *very* long time resident. We saw his unique crystal glazed pottery, and how he was teaching a newer generation of artists. Highly recommended!

I found this place toward the end of 2023 and since then, visited 3 times. This cabin and island is such a beautiful place that helps you feel more relaxed than you can imagine. During my most recent stay, I was lying on the private beach in front of the house when a seal swam out of the water and onto the shore to sunbathe! I’m hesitant to leave a good review because I don’t want this place to get so booked that I can’t come back 😂😂

Beautiful peaceful place to say close to the beach and wonderful trails. The cottage was extraordinarily clean loved all of the local art throughout the cottage. Loved walking out every morning with a cup of coffee with a beautiful horses next-door. Strongly recommend if you’d like to get away from the hustle bustle of life..

We had an incredible stay at Bayside Cottage! The house is very charming and has everything that you need. We loved the porch overlooking the bay and the short easy walk down to the bay. We hope to return soon!

When we visit our family in Bellingham, Lydia and Kurt's Cottage is the only place we stay. The cottage and grounds are beautiful and Lydia & Kurt are always friendly and helpful.

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at Windance Cottage during our visit to the San Juan Islands. The perfect location, the cottage is out of the hustle and bustle of Friday Harbour, but only a 15 minute drive into town, and easy access to the west side of the island, including a 5 minute drive up to Lime Kiln Point. The cottage is exactly as described, with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Even better is the view from the picnic table/chairs on the water, perfect for watching whales or just enjoying the skyline. We didn't see any whales from the cottage, but did the morning we left further up at Lime Kiln - I'm sure they passed the property as well! Also, Gregory and his wife were perfect hosts - helping us out when we had questions, and ensuring we had everything we needed. I only wish that we were able to stay longer - highly recommend!

This is the second time we've stayed here. And again it was very nice. I recommend it. Jaydene is a very good host

Absolutely loved our stay! The house is in a fantastic location, just steps away from the lake, making it perfect for a relaxing getaway. It was warm, cozy, and spotlessly clean. Highly recommend!
