The cottage is very cute and we had everything we needed for sleeping and cooking meals. Itâs very close to Torch Lake. I especially loved the bedroom with all the windows. Very bright and cheery. We stayed on 2 really hot days. Thanks to one of the reviews of the A/C not keeping up we brought fans which made it perfect.
We really enjoyed our stay at the Birch Cottage! The house and amenities were exactly how they were described. We had a blast taking out the canoe and enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere. If we are ever in the area again, we would book this cottage in a heartbeat!
The Birch is a lovely place, a nice open living area & the bedrooms suited our need for 6 adults. So many areas nearby to see the beauty of Northern Michigan we spent our days wandering. Never did take the time to enjoy the shared lake area of the property.
We went up for a wedding in Bellaire and this location was perfect. We had quiet time with the fire pit but drove just a mile down the road and enjoyed the restaurant on torch lake. The house has plenty of room for everyone. Just bring fans because air conditioner doesnât always reach to every room! We will definitely come back when we have more time to stay.
It was a great home, plenty of space for us and we loved the short walk to the lake. The access to the kayaks was wonderful, had a nice fire pit with wood for sale close by. Caught bass, pumpkin seed and blue gill from the lake. Not much boat or kayak traffic this early in the summer either which was nice! Easy drive to torch lake with many arenas to rent boats from and a quick drive to downtown to the small shops. Would stay here again!
Our family loved this place as a great gathering spot. Itâs very clean and spacious, with ample room for everyone. We also have easy access to Lake Thayer, where we enjoyed kayaking. The hosts were incredibly friendly and helpful, making our experience even better. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a fun and welcoming gathering spot.
We stayed here over the summer on a mothers and daughters trip! I can's say enough amazing things about this place and its host. Very clean, great location, comfy beds!!!
Thank you!! we'll be back
Took a little family vacation. It was absolutely amazing. Nice and clean house. Sat outside having a bonfire watching the deer come really close to us. Peaceful and relaxing. Bonus it was only 5 minutes to Torch Lake boat launch. We were only there for 3 days. Next year going for a week
Beautiful home! Perfect location! Our family had a great time fishing on Thayer Lake using the provided boats and Kayaks. The only problem is we wish we would have stayed longer!
This property is fantastic! Access to Thayer lake and public access to Torch right up the road. The perfect spot if you want to enjoy time on Torch Lake and do a little fishing at Thayer Lake. The house was very clean and had everything we needed to cook throughout the week. We will definitely be back!
We had a wonderful stay. It was a quiet getaway and was in a great location to have short day trips to beaches and shops and be back at the house for the night.
This property is renovated beautifully! The location was perfect for what we were looking for to be close to my familyâs lake house. There was ample room, the space was very clean, we loved the bonfire pit and the large space to park our boat on the trailer. The home was stocked with anything youâd need in a rental! We didnât have time to utilize the kayaks, but hopefully next year! We loved our stay, thanks again for the hospitality, Rachael!
4 teenagers and 2 adults enjoyed a perfect vacation enjoying the beauty of Thayer Lake and Torch lake. Early July was cooler temperatures but having the kayaks available to use was perfect for the lake. House was big enough for sleeping, hanging out with the teens. Plenty of yard space for outdoor games and fires for sâmores. Hosts were great with the house being so clean. Very nice spot!
We had so much fun in this adorable fully refurbished home. Beautiful yard, cute fire pit out back. We even rented their amazing and brand new boat to go out on Torch Lake.
We had the best time! The property was clean, comfortable and peaceful. We already canât wait to go back! Thanks so much for your hospitality Rachael â€ïž
