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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shelley 9 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful property.

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.

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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brian 20 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great accommodations you had a beach you had rowboats you could take out on the lake and very quiet property but if you want anything outside of the property the town doesn't have anything to do. If you want peace and quiet and solitude it's exactly what you want ##### Brian Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Danielle 27 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We stayed in the motel portion of the property. It was remodeled to mid century style. Very cool! A bit musty smelling with age, but otherwise comfy. The view was lovely on trout lake and it was a great location to stay when heading to Tahquamenon falls after a few days on Mackinaw island. We loved the light breakfast provided too. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3b0cd7fd-df29-4b2c-b931-c50638d8de07-1753585367710.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/864adc72-3f71-452d-a3dc-b19da88bb96a-1753585365265.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e8049eb0-e9f3-4e81-96b9-5c18f9fde537-1753585360636.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Danielle Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brian 22 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Beautiful location excellent price and included breakfast.
