Host was great. Firepit area was great. Inside of cabin was clean but could use some maintenance (ie bathroom door). Outside needs some TLC, windows are very dirty and covered with cobwebs, weeds growing up through steps and in eaves troughs etc.

A place with everything we needed
We stayed at this place for 4 nights with our dog and 6 year old. The cabin was clean, the kitchen had everything you'd need, and back yard was peaceful. We loved that we could walk to the beach and playground from the cabin. We also enjoyed going to local attractions like Kraay Farms and Aspen Beach. Overall, we are very happy with our stay!

Beautiful and quaint cabin at the lake. The house was stocked with everything needed in the kitchen as well as linens for the beds and bathroom. There were some toiletries which were wonderful as I had forgotten my shampoo and conditioner. This house is a great stay and the backyard was huge! The bbq was also super awesome to have, and it is a VERY nice bbq.

Needs some updates
The area is nice and is a short walk to the lake. We enjoyed the backyard hammocks and fire pit. It was very peaceful. It was great for our puppy too. The yard was full of weeds and the shed and deck areas could use a good sweep. The bathroom door was broken on arrival, but the host was responsive and was able to get a contractor in the next day. Overall, the place could use some updates, like wall touch up’s and new pillows. If you are a tall person, this property is not going to be a good choice. The wall cuts in to where the toilet is and therefore a grown man would not be able to stand in front of the toilet. It also cuts in by the staircase. The kitchen was well stocked and made cooking very convenient. The fridge was huge and the coffee maker was great.
Quiet relaxing weekend and cabin had everything we needed and more

Ladies weekend
We three ladies enjoyed our stay very much . We flipped to see who shared the king size bed and the other took the single bottom bunk . Both quite comfortable . I am not a fan of futons and it’s in the upstairs hall so not truly a bedroom . Gorgeous back yard fire out area and sunny deck made for a really nice little weekend !

Embrace adventure: Book your nature gateway without hesitation!
Our stay at The Cozy Cabin at the Lake exceeded expectations. Theresa, the host, provided everything we needed, from a fully equipped kitchen to bathroom essentials and even kids' toys. The cabin is dog-friendly, with thoughtful touches like poop bags and bowls available. We loved the fire pit area off the deck, perfect for evening relaxation. The Birch Bay community is welcoming and peaceful, with a well-maintained, shallow beach just a short walk away. The cabin's proximity to nature and the lake made for a perfect getaway. We're already looking forward to our next visit and highly recommend booking this beautiful cabin for a memorable stay.

relaxing long weekend stay
Had a great long weekend getaway at this little cabin in a nice community. Grateful that my therapy dog was allowed to stay. Reliable wifi was a must for me as I was attending an online course and the owner’s internet provider did not fail. Theresa was very prompt in her communication. Loved having a fire in the woodstove inside as well as sitting by the firepit outside. Kitchen had all the basics, but no dishwasher which is quite typical in cabins. Comfy furniture in the living area and a comfy bed. I have stayed in many rental properties and would stay here again.

Nice Getaway spot!
The cabin was exactly as advertised with some extras. Lots of DVDs and board games. Private yard and short 5 minute walk to the beach through a forest path. Bedding was comfortable and massive King bed was a treat. Coffee, tea, bathroom essentials, spices and cooking materials were available. The lake was decently warm for the last weekend of September. The host was readily available whenever questions arose. An excellent weekend away!

Quaint cabin experience
We loved our stay at this cute little cabin. The kids ran wild in the yard and it was a quick walk to the beach and campground. The cabin came with everything we needed. Would definitely recommend, already planning next year.

Peaceful Holiday
I flew into Edmonton and heading south, we found the Co-op Store in Rimbey ideal for shopping. The cabin has a very large fridge, so we stocked up and enjoyed most meals on the large deck with umbrella for shade. The weather was low 20s and mainly sunny, so we made good use of the bar-b-que for dinners.
We got lots of exercise walking or riding bikes to the beach. My 2 grand-daughters, ages 10 and 12, went swimming every day, played basketball, read books while relaxing in the hammock, watched DVDs and helped gather kindling to start our nightly fire.
We had 4 adults and 2 kids, so my son brought his camper for 1 adult to sleep in. The upstairs futon shouldn't be opened because it blocks the hallway, but would suit a child if unopened.
I appreciated the well equipped kitchen, very clean out-house used occasionally and especially being secluded in a natural environment of trees, flowers, birds and squirrels...a truly refreshing experience!

Peaceful Forest Oasis
Theresa's cabin is a peaceful forest oasis suitable for all ages and people looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of life.
The location is perfect -- nearby trails, beaches, parks, and close to Bentley which is a great town to visit while you're there.
The cabin was well equipped with everything we needed for the weekend including some lovely amenties like toothpaste just in case you forgot to pack some.
We will defintely be back for a visit and might just make this our annual getaway/vacation spot in the future. Thanks to Theresa for making our getaway a smooth process and being such a lovely host!
