Loved the views and relaxed atmosphere
Katherine, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

What a hidden gem! From the gracious host upon our arrival, learning about the history of the lodge, the comforts of our room, the wonderful amenities and the serene setting in the Upper Peninsula. We enjoyed everything about our stay!
Tanya, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This place is amazing! A definite return visit. Very relaxing atmosphere. Historical and very clean. Owner and staff were very nice and accommodating.
Casey, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great place, would stay again!
Ben, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Very unique lake front property. Historic lodge interior restoration was very tastefully done. The motel, where we stayed, is a step back in time. Motel rooms, done in their original midcentury modern decor, were spacious, comfortable and clean. Some of the outdoor amenities includes kayaks, fire pit, corn hole game, private beach area and nature trail. We appreciated the host’s call on the day of check in, giving us check in info and dining options. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again!
Wendy, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Beautiful view on a peaceful lake. Room was clean and everything worked properly. We enjoyed walking around the property and taking in the views.
Jackie, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great accommodations you had a beach you had rowboats you could take out on the lake and very quiet property but if you want anything outside of the property the town doesn't have anything to do. If you want peace and quiet and solitude it's exactly what you want
Brian, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Love the history, love the people running this place. The location is great for seeing nature and taking a beautiful laid back location. Beds are comfortable.
ROSE, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

We stayed in the motel portion of the property. It was remodeled to mid century style. Very cool! A bit musty smelling with age, but otherwise comfy. The view was lovely on trout lake and it was a great location to stay when heading to Tahquamenon falls after a few days on Mackinaw island. We loved the light breakfast provided too.
Danielle, 2-night trip

Beautiful area
Alfred, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Highly recommend the Birch Lodge. Property is exactly as advertised in a quiet and peaceful location. Rooms were very clean as is the main lodge where they serve a continental breakfast including freshly baked muffins. We had a retro room with 2 comfortable beds and a picture window looking out on Trout Lake. A nice change from the more commercial hotels.
Donald, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Started with a thoughtful call from Jim who runs the place, during the late afternoon explaining our food options locally. Very considerate based on the dining options around here being limited after 7pm. The place is amazing. Rooms are incredible. We took the row boat and kayak out on the lake and then made a fire in the pit. Jim brought out some premade s’mores packs with sticks. Just an amazing and outstanding place. Would highly recommend staying here.
Bob, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Easy check-in. Lovely evening out at the lake-front.
Dan, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

This is a nicely unique hotel that steps you back in time. Its very peaceful and a great place to reset from a busy life. The caretakers we nice but seemed overworked. Jim was very friendly and accomodating but his wife seemed frazzled. I would have liked to see a few more ammenities offered. Their breakfast was extremely basic. Some afternoon cookies or evening popcorn to bring a social aspect to the guests would have added a bit of charm.
Cynthia, 3-night trip
