This place is the definition of a northern getaway. Quiet, no tv in the lodge room, wonderful character, beautiful views on the property and so much to see nearby, jukebox and a wood stove in the living room/dining room, I wanted to stay longer.

10/10 Exceptional

We would highly recommend Birch Lodge to other travelers looking for a comfortable place to stay with unique UP flavor. The comfort of the rooms, the coziness of the nightly community fire pit, and historic presence of the lodge is welcoming and suits both those looking for the feel of the UP with the hospitality of a professional, yet homey facility.

This was truly a highlight of our trip. The owner was very friendly. Lodge was extremely clean and inviting. You can have a fire pit , walk to the sandy area. We appreciated the way it was restored to keep its history. We will definitely return!
