Modern Home in Birchwood Farms, Near Ski Hills & Downtown Harbor Springs!

ABOUT THE RENTAL
Nestled in the trees of Birchwood Farms, this bright and clean modern home is ready to host your group for your next trip to Northern Michigan! Upon entering the home into the foyer, you are welcomed by an open staircase that lets light travel from the front to the back of the home. Clean and crisp painted walls of neutral colors allow for a very relaxing feeling throughout the home. Enjoy the wood burning fireplace or take a peek in the cabinet to pull out a game or puzzle on a rainy day. The dining area is located around either side of the fireplace with furnishings that offer clean, modern lines. The dining table can seat six with an extra two seats at the kitchen counter bar. The kitchen and dining area are open to each other which allows those in the kitchen to be part of the conversations elsewhere. Plenty of light pours in during the day and the second set of oversized sliding doors offer another entrance to the wraparound deck. Granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances make this kitchen easy to cook and enjoy meals at the home. The primary suite is located on the main level and offers a king bed, TV with cable, and a third entrance to the deck. The spacious primary bathroom has plenty of counter space, a soaking tub, and stand-alone shower with another entrance off from the foyer to offer a bathroom to the main level of the home. The oversized laundry room is located off from the kitchen as well as a door to a screened-in porch area that connects to the one-car garage. Upon taking the stairs to the landing area which overlooks the living room are two bedrooms located on each end of the home. One upper level guest room has a queen bed and the other has two twin beds. Both bedrooms have a TV with cable and a Roku setup where you can login to your streaming accounts. There is a recently updated second bath on the upper level to service the guest rooms. Very clean and comfortable home!

Staff Retreat
Harbor Springs, Michigan is hard to beat in late September/early October. The property is so close to downtown, the lake, and so many recreational opportunities. It was clean, spacious, and fully equipped for our stay. We would highly recommend this cozy home and would certainly choose to stay here again.

We loved the Modern Birchwood Cottage. The house was just as pictured, very quiet, and beautifully decorated. The artwork only enhanced the experience. Note that Verizon phone coverage was not available, inside or out, but WiFi worked well.

We’ve rented this home before. Great location, great accommodation for three couples. Highly recommend. One of our favorite activities is hiking through the trail from the Birchwood property to Pond Hill Farm for afternoon glass of wine at the winery.

Great winter weekend!
Check in was super easy, the house was very clean and very tastefully decorated. Appliances and utensils were up-to-date and more than sufficient-there was a variety of stemware, bar ware , and even an instant thermometer for our evening meal prep. The welcome gift of wine and American Spoon jams was a thoughtful touch. The setting in the woods was lovely, 10 minutes to Boyne Highlands for skiing, 10 minutes to downtown Harbor Springs. We enjoyed using the maintained hiking/snowsuit trails on property, we were able to hike to Pond Hill Farm to enjoy the winery-it was a highlight of our weekend! It was nice to have a real fireplace to use with wood supplied for the fireplace. We look forward to coming back in warmer weather to enjoy the outdoor seating around the house. Highly recommend this rental.

Lovely Stay
We had a lovely week in Harbor Springs, and were grateful that the rental home was uneventfull - in a good way. We had no issues and no reason to contact anyone for help. The home is just as pictured, which made it relaxing to walk in and find all as it should be. We appreciated the instruction binder, which was helpful when it came to adjusting the thermostat and navigating TV remotes; and the Wifi internet worked well. We hope to return to the area, and would rent here again.

Great for Ski Trip!
This property was a great fit for our ski trip! It was located only 10 mins away from the Highlands @ Harbor Springs and was in a very nice, private neighborhood. Overall, it checked all the boxes related to cleanliness, relaxing atmosphere, & accuracy of listing. The attention to detail was very impressive & was highlighted by the resources provided by the owner. These included premium bathroom supplies, a bottle of wine upon check-in, firewood stocked in the garage, & many more! I would definitely recommend this property to friends & family!!

Great family winter break. Arrived and had 7 inches of fresh snow that evening! Close to ski hills. Driveway was cleaned off early in the morning. Very clean, cozy beds, was able to cook with everything in the kitchen Best thing was I forgot my diamond earrings in the bathroom and the cleaning service returned them!! Will definitely stay here again.

Enjoyed a house on the golf course for x-country!
The Modern Birchwood Cottage was a cute house decorated in mid-century. The furniture was a little different but nothing to complain about. We had lots of room for three 60ish couples who have been doing this annually for 30+ years. Lots of kitchenware, including glasses and pots and pans. A few spices in the pantry but best bring your own of everything else you need for cooking. We loved skiing out the door to the golf course. We did feel the lighting was not very bright in the living/dining room area; we needed more light for our card games! Overall a very pleasant stay.
