The Cottages are owned in a cooperative format known as the Birch Bay Village Association. Each resident is a stockholder and secures their ownership interest by purchasing stock representing the value of the residence. The Cooperative is responsible for maintaining the structural and mechanical systems and the standard appliances and furnishings provided with each Cottage. Residents pay a monthly fee to cover the costs of the services and amenities provided by the Cooperative, allowing residents to enjoy their Cottage without the hassles of homeownership.
Cottage residents can also make reservations for dinner at the Birch Bay Inn and participate in other events hosted there. Residents also enjoy the ability to travel with the knowledge that their home will be maintained while they are away.
Amenities:
All cottages have two bedroom and two baths, full kitchen, living room, sunroom and dining area.
