About the Owner
About Patrick McGowan
About the Owners: Birchwood Cottages is family owned and operated by Patrick and Margo McGowan and Jenn & Steve Hazelton, under our LLC, ADK Birchwood. Patrick & Margo McGowan, and Steve & Jenn Hazelton have loved the Adirondack Park for decades and had been searching for the perfect spot to make their own in the Adirondacks. Margo and Patrick have always been drawn to the park; they were engaged in Brant Lake (just down the road) and married in Lake Placid, and vacationed in the ADKs just about every year since then. Jenn and Steve were becoming quite the Adirondack groupies, scouring property and vacationing in various spots within the blue line for years and years, it was time to put down some roots.
Patrick McGowan purchased this House in 2015
Why Patrick McGowan chose Chestertown
How we came to love Birchwood: Margo had known about Birchwood Cottages for about 15 years, as she went to college with the previous owner's daughter, and had visited Birchwood a few times throughout her college days. In years passed, she had always toyed with the idea of buying Birchwood – but considered it pipe dreams at best. In the summer of 2015, the McGowan came to Birchwood to have a mini college reunion with her friends and classmates, and it was then, that the timing was right to call Birchwood home! After a quick discussion with Art and Jill Spierre, and a seemingly short drive for Jen and Steve to check the place out, a handshake sealed the deal. The Hazelton’s and McGowan’s spent the summer back and forth to Birchwood, and in discussions with Art and Jill, and were finally able to call Birchwood theirs in September 2015.
Our goal is to keep Birchwood as a family-friendly vacation spot for our loyal guests AND NEW ONES, so they too can call Birchwood home (if even for a week or 2) for years and years to come!
What makes this House unique:
Birchwood Cottages is a delightful set of cottages, and one large main house (The Lodge), settled on the west shore of Loon Lake surrounded by the Adirondack Mountains. The cottages can be rented by the week and include a nice sandy beach for the kids to play and swim. Our swimming area is easily accessible by steps that lead to a sandy gradual walk-in, and include a floating dock.
Loon Lake is a nicely tucked away little treasure in Chestertown, NY. There are multitudes of activities to do for a day trip- or never leave the beach- whichever you prefer. Full-service marina located across the lake for all of your boating needs and our large boat docks can accommodate any size boat!

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.

Lodge at Birchwood
We had a wonderful time at the Lodge. It is spacious, clean and has amazing views of Loon Lake. The Christmas decorations and lights were a nice touch. The McGowan’s are great hosts. I would definitely stay there again.

Great Place
My husband and twenty-year-old son and daughter stayed here for a week before Christmas. It is a great location and the house is large and comfortable. The area of the Adirondacks is beautiful with Gore Ski area very close by as well as many hiking trails. The nearby restaurants were excellent (and open for take out). We had a great stay.

#2 Hillside cottage @ Birchwood Cottages on Loon Lake
Stayed October, 2020
great stay
We had a great stay. Only thing different than what we thought was location. The lake is right there but you have to cross the road in front of the property to get to the lake. The cabin did have a view of the lake from the top of the hill. Everything else was really wonderful. Highly recommend.

Nice stay
We had a very nice time in this cabin. It was very clean and cozy, with lots of sleeping space. Loved the screened porch! Could not use the stovetop - catch pans were rusted through and smelly when on, not safe. Please replace! Also, no cutting board in the kitchen. Wifi was non-existent despite place being listed to provide wifi. Other than that, all according to expectations and description by managers.
