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. ##### catherine Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shelley 9 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful property.

Property is exactly as advertised in a quiet and peaceful location. Rooms were very clean as is the main lodge where they serve a continental breakfast including freshly baked muffins. We had a retro room with 2 comfortable beds and a picture window looking out on Trout Lake. A nice change from the more commercial hotels. ##### Donald Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shailesh 30 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Amazing owners (Jim and wife), excellent service, overall great stay!! ##### Shailesh Stayed 1 night in May 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Byron 11 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great hosts and very cool property with great views of the lake. ##### Byron Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brian 22 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Beautiful location excellent price and included breakfast.

It has a stunning view of Trout lake with a gorgeous front porch, private beach and boats for fishing. It felt like we went back in time. Our hosts were warm and wonderful and full of helpful information. With drives to Whitefish Point and Tahquamenon Falls only 30ish minutes away, it's a perfect home base to relax and explore the UP, or stay on the property and chill. We fell in love with this hotel and will be back again.
