Kaslo visit

The property was clean and tidy, overall a very cute little apartment. Everything we needed was there. Because it's located on a main road, truck traffic was a bit loud in the early morning. Otherwise, a lovely stay.

Perfect Getaway

We were very pleased with the accommodations and the Kaslo area. As we stayed on a Monday, Tuesday we were well aware of restaurant closures and came prepared. Chez Serge provided many options for take away food. Our only complaint which is minor was the early morning road noise. We had a great stay and hope to visit the Kaslo area again.

Absolutely loved our stay at Birkwood Cottage. Morning coffee on the porch in the sunshine was lovely. Cottage had everything we needed so that we could do our own meals. Very close to downtown, to bike paths, hike trails and walking paths and of course the water with Sandy and rocky shoreline. The town was abundant with little shops, grocery store and great restaurants. Commutation with the owners was easy and they responded quickly to whatever we needed. I would highly recommend Birkwood Cottage
