What People Are Saying

"My favorite place to recharge"

"Birch crest gives you the natural beauty mother nature offers. The owners' operators are friendly and helpful. They make everyone feel safe and comfortable. The property is extremely well cared for, and the bathrooms are exceptionally clean. The lake is the cleanest I have ever swam in because it's spring fed. It's absolutely my favorite place to go to recharge and feel grounded."
