Mackinac Island Trip

The home was well kept and very clean. They had everything you need for a week at the lake. Home was very clean and well kept. The shared fire pit was awesome, enjoyed watching the July 4th fireworks and meeting the other families that stayed on the property. Would definitely recommend this property if you want to enjoy a quiet lake front setting.

Nice cabin

The cabin and property was very nice and clean. Perfect for a weekend get away. We really enjoyed the firepit at night, and since everyone shares it, we made new friends. Due to no air conditioner, it was a little warm. But we managed.

Wonderful and relaxing.

Words alone cannot describe the amazing time we had at Birch Cabin #4. The view was spectacular and the cabin itself had everything imaginable. It was warm and inviting, clean, spacious and just plain wonderful. We all had a great time and enjoyed ourselves immensely. Thank you so much for a wonderful vacation spot. We will return again.

Perfect anniversary getaway!

My spouse and I really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property. The cabin itself was gorgeous, super clean, and very tranquil. For a cabin, it was very well appointed with a full kitchen (and everything you’d need to make meals), 2 bathrooms, and a nice basement with washer-dryer. The actual property is right on the beach, and incredibly well-maintained. The cabin is located in a cluster of other similar cabins, and everyone we met over the week was incredibly friendly, and the regulars gave us lots of good tips of what to see in the area. It’s located a bit off the beaten path of Mackinaw City, which makes it a perfect spot for enjoying stars at night as well (we saw a couple of shooting stars while sitting on the balcony)! I can’t say enough good things about the property and the managers, who provided lots of clear info leading up to our trip, and communicated with us a couple of times beforehand to make sure we got all of our questions asked. My spouse and I both agreed that this is very likely one of the best, if not the best, vacation rentals we’ve stayed in!

The cabin was very clean. It’s very conveniently located in the middle of the ferry to Mackinac Island and Bois Blanc Island. A lot of room. The only downside was that there was no wifi, but that's minor!

Amazing weekend!

This home far exceeded our expectations. We couldn’t believe how gorgeous the home and property was - no detail was forgotten. Seeing Lake Huron, Mackinac Bridge, and the islands right in our backyard was such an unexpected treat! This relaxing weekend was such a huge blessing to my parents, husband, and myself. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay.

Good access to the Mackinac area attractions. Nice cabin, except no air conditioning. Whole house fan and ceiling fan made up for it most nights. Beautiful view of Lake Huron and easily swimmable shared beach area. Would stay at again.

Even better than the listing!

This property shows beautifully online and even better in-person! Everything was as pictured/described. Before booking our reservation, I read all of the reviews for this and the other homes in the Birch Lodge Association available for rent, and I found all of the reviews to be consistently positive and true to their words. Located on US-23 at about the midpoint between Mackinaw City and Cheboygan, this was a great location from which we could easily "hub-and-spoke" our way to several day trips on Mackinac Island and throughout the eastern U-P, including Kitch-iti-kipi, Wagner Falls, Pictured Rocks, Oswald's Bear Ranch, Tahquamenon Falls, Whitefish Point, and the Soo Locks. And the Jack Pine Lumberjack Show is definitely worth an evening; plus, it's literally just down the road! Cell phone and internet service are hit-or-miss; however, we found reception and connection in the loft and on the balcony over the front porch to be adequate for whenever we needed to make calls or reservations online. But with Lake Huron only 50 or so feet from the front porch and Mackinac Island in full view, one really should unplug and gaze out over the water or up into the stars filling the night sky from horizon to horizon. So, what is lacking? Not much! No A/C, but the whole house fan in combination with the ceiling fans and open windows definitely kept the home comfortable during our stay in mid-July. That there is also a basement is a bonus; it's where we stored all our luggage and coolers for the week out of sight and mind. That said, one or two clotheslines down there to hang wet towels would be helpful. I prepared three breakfasts and four suppers in the kitchen. A proper chef's knife, cutting board and silicone spatula would be helpful, but I made do. The two-burner Weber grill on the front porch was just right for a family of four. I do suggest bringing along any "must have" utensils and seasonings one absolutely cannot do without. If space in your vehicle permits, I also recommend packing groceries from home, especially as I found produce and meat prices to be much more expensive than in suburban Chicagoland. The bottom line is my family of four absolutely loved our week in Birch Lodge #4, the other families and neighbors were wonderful (be sure to meet Don & Carol in #1), and we definitely would look forward to a return trip.
