Lake Front Bliss

Birch lake cottage is a great place for swimming and offers an excellent "Up North" experience. It's a great location to explore northwest Mi. The cottage itself is comfortable, but dated and in need a of few upgrades. But overall, a wonderful experience.

Another Great Stay at the Birch House

Another great stay at this house (2nd time). Wonderful house for our family. Plan to go again in a year or two. Kids range 1 to 6. They love the beach toys provided, the bunk beds, my daughter learned she loved going paddle boarding with mom on the provided boards, and my son loves all the fans (he is obsessed with them, good thing they are in the main and bedrooms). Great weather and great time. Only note is the guy renovating the house next store. Bit loud late a night demoing and left the exterior lights on one night that shined into the bedrooms (get some back out drapes for that side maybe?) Also he had a chocolate lab that was often not leashed. (My daughter is scared of dogs). Thankfully he was only there 2 of the days we were there. And know that is outside of the owners control. (Last year we lucked out and neither neighbor was there all week). Thanks again for renting out your house again to us!

Perfect Week At The Lake

George & Colleen's cottage is the perfect place for a family getaway to the lake. This was our second year at the cottage and we've already booked again for next year. The home is well maintained and has all the amenities you'd need. The lake is nice and shallow for young swimmers and beautifully clear and quiet (not too busy). We love staying here and can't wait for the next trip we have scheduled! Highly Recommended!
