This lodge is such a beautiful property located by a tranquil lake. The owner has preserved a lot of the buildings original history, despite all of the modern renovations. The owner is extremely friendly and personable, and clearly takes pride in the property. There’s a few towns and restaurants nearby, but ultimately it’s perfectly secluded, yet not too far of a drive from the Mackinac bridge. I can’t recommend this place enough, the rooms are clean and well maintained, the property is beautiful, and the staff are kind and welcoming. Will definitely be coming back and recommending this place to others!!

Jim called me thebday before we were arriving to be sure of our eta and be sure we kneww of the impending weather conditions. It snowed the whole drive up from Lansing area. The room was warm and ready for our arrival. The property was well lit as we arrived around 9pm and it was dark and snowy. The tv remote was unable fo control the volume, we had to download an app for a remote tobturn it down. That said the wifi was great. The shower was a little lacking as hotel showers always are. Very short and low pressure. We woke in the morning to a beautiful panoramic view of the lake from the room. A short walk to the lodge and we were greeted with coffee and muffins. We had a great time chatting with Jim and learing about the history of the Birch Lodge. Even got to meet Jack thier dog. Cute little gift shop with something for everyone. We will definitely be booking a summer trip back to the Birch Lodge.

These folks were very accommodating having the room warm and ready for our stay. Was a very comfy stay and a great little continental style breakfast before we left along with a great tour of the historic lodge.
