Your Privacy is Important to us!

Birch Haven By the Beach is in a particularly pleasant Wasaga Beach location, a 5 minutes drive from the main drag, and walking distance to less hectic beach and park areas. To help ensure the enjoyment of all our clients, the grounds, barbeques and units are for our registered guests only. This is appreciated by our guests who want to have their immediate family or alone time.

Those who would like to entertain other friends or relatives can easily meet them at the nearby parks (where there are picnic areas, public washrooms, and playgrounds) or at any of the several restaurants and attractions located within a few blocks of our site.

If you have less people booked in your unit than is the maximum for that cottage, it is possible to have additional guests register by the day or week. To avoid disappointment, please ask about this in advance. Together, we can discuss arrangements for having them register as well as any additional charges which may apply.
