Charming! I chose it for an overnight to break up our drive to the Porcupine Mountains. After we arrived, I realized that Birch Lodge IS the destination! Our downstairs bedroom, parlor and bathroom were very spacious. The porch reminded me of the Grand Hotel on Mackinaw Island! Bring food as the eateries in the village are lame. I was hoping for whitefish at McGowan's but it was closed and looks like its for sale.

Quiet Getaway

We had the corner King room in the lodge and it was beautiful. We did not have view of lake but we enjoyed sitting out on the large porch in rockers with our wine enjoying sunset over the lake. Use of kayaks a plus and the fire pit was perfect on a chilly night. You should know there is no elevator in the lodge but you will always get assistance with the bags if you need it. Also there is no TV in the lodge rooms but we did not miss it.
