About this cottage rental
AC | WIFI | Gas Fireplace | Lake View | 1 Dog Allowed (Can sit on chairs along break wall, but no access to beach)
As soon as you turn onto our quiet, tree-lined lane, you'll feel it—that weight lifting from your shoulders. I’ve felt it myself every time I arrive, and I love sharing that feeling with guests. The lake pulls your gaze before you even unpack, inviting you to step out back and just breathe. You came here to reconnect—with nature, with each other, and maybe even with yourself.
INSIDE:
Step through the door into a space that feels more like a home than a rental. Birchcliff Cottage is cozy, not curated—warm, welcoming, and filled with natural light. Head into the great room where you can stir up a family recipe in the open kitchen, snack at the island, and chat around the wood stove. Or settle into the second living room—where cathedral ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows make the lake part of every moment. Pour a drink, grab a board game, or just sit in silence together in front of the gas fireplace watching the colors shift across the water.
High chair available at cottage.
Pack and play available upon request.

OUTSIDE:
If you’re like me, you’ll spend most of your time out back. The lake breeze dances through the trees while you kick back in a gravity chair. Morning coffee tastes better at the sunlit front entry, where birds are your only company. By afternoon, you're firing up the BBQ or Traeger smoker, wine in hand, flipping burgers or slow-smoking something amazing. Gather under the gazebo for a lakeside meal, then head to the firepit to share stories and laughter as the sun puts on one of its world-famous shows over Lake Huron.

EXPERIENCE BAYFIELD
The pace of life slows down in Bayfield. When you vacation here, it's easy to experience each day to its fullest.
Clan Gregor Square is the heart of our quaint community where many local festivals/carshows and you won't want to miss the farmers market in season. Pioneer Park is another local favorite—kids will love cooling down at the splash pad. There's always something happening here, whether it's morning yoga or artists painting the sunset.
You're just 2 minutes from the Bluewater Golf Club. We're happy to suggest our favorite local spas, wineries and breweries, including Hessenland Inn & Schatz Winery and Bad Apple Brewing Co. With wooded trails, scenic country vistas and stunning Lake Huron, Bayfield is a beautiful place to explore no matter the season.
ABOUT YOUR HOST
I'm Jennifer, I started CottageStays to share my own home with like-minded travelers who appreciate escaping to life at a slower pace. I've never forgotten how lucky I am to call Lake Huron home. Now more than ever, everyone is in need of the kind of peace and quiet that escaping to the lake can bring. It's my absolute privilege to be the one to provide families and friends a special place to gather and create memories while exploring an area so near and dear to me

10 / 10Outstanding·Nov 2025
This cottage was ideal for our family with two living rooms, a beautiful view of the lake, a quiet road, a well-appointed kitchen and impressive grill & smoker. The beds were very comfortable, and everything was where you would expect it to be. Hosts were prompt with communication & very welcoming.
8 / 10Excellent·Sep 2025
This home has all the amenities and was a great stay for our adult family. You don't need to pack much because this property has everything!There were two large open living spaces. With wall to wall windows looking out over the stunning views of the lake. Easily eight of us and a dog had plenty of space. Two exits into the patios. The bedrooms were equally spacious and cozy. The backyard and deck spaces were well thought out with lots of chairs and one big and one smaller table. A BBQ plus a special smoke BBQ! Also a wonderful fire pit at the side of the property. The views were spectacular across the lake, sunrise and sunsets. There are steps down to the water fo a quiet lake view. Just note no access for water sports or swimming. The owners were very responsive to any questions or needs. We made great family memories during our stay.
6 / 10Average·Aug 2025
The host was very responsive and the.Cottage itself was gorgeous and well maintained. The only downside for me was not understanding that although there are stairs to the beautiful blue waters of the lake, you cannot access the water. It is very difficult to be so tantalizingly close to the crystal clear water and not be able to swim. Unfortunately I did not see this in the ad, it was near the bottom of the very long description. I would fully recommend this cottage to non swimmers! I suggest making it more clear at the top of the ad that you cannot swim here. We did end up having fun and driving to a beach. Thank you.
