About this property
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. 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! *Fireplace is inoperable

Beautiful house. Perfect for our group of 6 adults. Very clean and well maintained. Kitchen was well stocked with all of the essentials. Short 10 - 15 drive to the Highlands and Nubs Nob
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.
Clean, very well stocked with everything you could need…from firewood to kitchen utensils. Great supply of bath towels, puzzles, movies, etc. Perfect getaway house in a lovely, safe neighborhood! Would highly recommend!
We spent the long weekend skiing at Nubs Nob. Beautiful home with room to relax and gather by the fire. Home was spotless and well appropriated. Thank you for having us!
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.

Great
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.
We had a lovely stay at the Modern Birchwood Cottage. Everything was just as pictured and just as described online. We enjoyed the setting in the woods; the home amenities; and the Harbor Springs location. We hope to return in the future.
We rented this house for two nights. It is about 15-20 minutes to Boyne Highlands or Nobs Nob. House is very clean and in a nice neighborhood. I would rent it again for a ski or golf weekend “Up North”

Stayed 3 nights for a ski getaway and this cabin was perfect for our group of 6 (2 adults, 4 kids). Communication was solid leading up to check in and the place was even better than described in the listing. Great location and only 10-15 minutes from Nubs/Highlands. Super clean, cozy and loved the fireplace. Would definitely stay here again.

We have stayed in more than 40 rental properties over the years and this was one of the best we've stayed in. Great location. Everything was really excellent. The owners provide many welcome and thoughtful touches that are usually absent. Many are simply things like condiments, plentiful paper kitchen roll, toiletries, quality towels and bedding, and details about local eateries and places to visit. Together it makes for a superior experience. Additionally, it has a chef's kitchen with Kitchen Aid appliances, Henckel knives, diverse glasssware and utensils, and abundant crockery. My impression is that the owners offer an experience that they would seek when renting themselves. We would certainly not hesitate to return for another vacation.

Reviewer Comments:
Our stay was an early Fall weekend getaway to northern Michigan, The house was clean and accommodating to our general needs. We had drinks on the deck and grilled a couple meals. House was clean and conveniently located for our side trips. Kichen was very efficient. Had plenty of dishes and cooking tools, coffee maker, etc. Bathrooms clean. Grill Worked fine. Nice deck.Minor issues - Mattresses seemed a bit "lumpy, soft". TV operation a bit of a challenge. If you're used to Spectrum, you'll probably be ok. For us, was not very easy to use. Other amenities were available, but we did not use them (eg fireplace, games, etc). A good choice for a relaxed weekend or longer.
We loved our stay, the kitchen is well-equipped, games and puzzles, well decorated, love all the decks and seating area outside. It was just lovely!!
