Very peaceful and tranquil. The end keeper Jim is a good guy who has done a beautiful job with a restoration. He goes out of his way to make sure his guests are taking care of.

6/10 Good

This place is great for spending 1-2 days in nature. Very clean rooms. It was surprisingly clean. You can take a boat and sail on the lake, there is a private beach and a fire pit. But it is an old house and old furniture. For me it was inconvenient, I do not like old furniture in the room. Although this hotel is unique because of all these antiques. There is no normal table and chairs in the room to drink coffee or eat. The owner is a very nice person who will help to solve any problems. But his assistant is rude and not welcoming. She should learn manners or not talk to people at all.

I love staying at places that have character and some history. I am also very tired of the cookie cutter large chain hotels & prefer to give my travel dollars to small business owners so the Historic Birch Lodge fit the bill. Our room was a bit small but the Hotel itself and the surrounding area was beautiful. My husband and I had a wonderful stay here and would definitely recommend.

Lovely property on a lovely lake. The lodge is beautifully decorated. Our room was very spacious and clean, and the lodge had several indoor and outdoor areas where guests can relax outside of their room. We were there for only one night, and we were sad to leave. We will be returning.

Hidden gem in Michigan
One of the best motel and lodge we have ever stayed. Management was very good as he provided late check in option after closing time. Breakfast was limited but yes definitely they serve coffee and fresh baked muffins. Location was superb

Our stay at the Birch Lodge exceeded every expectation! This beautifully maintained property has every thoughtful detail you could possibly need -- beautiful rooms decorated with historical photos from the property, comfortable beds and furniture, a well-appointed en suite with the fluffiest towels, a small refrigerator and all the tools for a perfect cocktail. There are books, games, paddleboards, kayaks, walking trails, fire pits and many more thoughtful amenities, all complimentary to enjoy. So many places to sit and read or enjoy the sunset. Breakfast each day was lovely, and the morning of our bike race our host went above and beyond to make sure we had plenty of protein for our ride, whipping up a couple yogurt parfaits. My only regret is that we didn't stay longer! Be sure to love on Jack the wonder dog when you visit -- he's a special guy!

It’s perfect!
Our stay was absolutely positively AMAZING. We met an owner and his wife. They are both working owners. They are renovating an extremely old (1912) interesting, historical building. And doing such a beautiful job. It’s calm, clean, quiet and welcoming. JUST PERFECT

We stayed for one night and enjoyed the quiet, serene and beautiful view of the lake. We find it hard to find a comfortable bed when we travel and found the bed to be very comfortable. I would recommend this place if you just need a "reset" and quiet surroundings.
