Hidden gem in Michigan
One of the best motel and lodge we have ever stayed. Management was very good as he provided late check in option after closing time. Breakfast was limited but yes definitely they serve coffee and fresh baked muffins. Location was superb

It’s perfect!
Our stay was absolutely positively AMAZING. We met an owner and his wife. They are both working owners. They are renovating an extremely old (1912) interesting, historical building. And doing such a beautiful job. It’s calm, clean, quiet and welcoming. JUST PERFECT

We stayed for one night and enjoyed the quiet, serene and beautiful view of the lake. We find it hard to find a comfortable bed when we travel and found the bed to be very comfortable. I would recommend this place if you just need a "reset" and quiet surroundings.

UP Gem
A great historic gem in the UP of Michigan, right on the shore of Trout Lake. The hotel is special, and the owners a go out of their way to provide a great stay.

Beautiful unique property right on Trout lake. Peaceful and unique. Beautiful historic furnishings highlighting the history of the area. Knowledgeable host. Kayaks and canoes included as well as fire pit. I loved the rocking chairs on the front porch.

8/10 Very good

A very interesting historic motel. Hospitality was really great. Felt like a bed and breakfast accommodation. Curtains didn’t close all the way and don’t like the feeling of someone being able to see in. There was also a dead moth in the swimsuit artwork that just sticks in my mind. Wonder if cohesion could be made from front office “home” to the motel units?? Such different decor/feel to design.

This is my second stay at here and I love it more each time. Stylish attention to detail in the mid-century modern model. The owner has been so friendly both times we have stayed and is very knowledgeable on the area and history of the lodge. I highly recommend this lodge for anyone looking to unplug and connect with nature. Dining options are limited in town and everything closes early, so it’s important to plan ahead.

My husband and I had an absolutely amazing time staying here! Enjoyed walking the gorgeous property, the private sandy beach, making smores by the firepit, and mingling with other couples. My husband took the row boat onto the lake to fish! It's a great stay if you want to get away and truly RELAX! No Tv's but there is Wifi. Great if you want to unplug. We had the"fishing room #3" updated, clean and super comfortable bed and quiet sleep! Coffee, tea, muffins and danish served in the morning! Truly was a great addition to our adventure in UP! Unforgettable experience the staff and their dog are so friendly and accommodating!!! We will be going back soon!!

a True Hidden gem
This is a beautiful historic building lovingly restored and maintained. Quiet and quaint, with a terrace overlooking the tranquil Trout Lake. We did raw a boat each evening we were there. Met the owners, lovely couple. They provide a nice coffee and muffins in the morning, although I was longing for some eggs. Oh well, it was nearly perfect.

Late Summer Getaway
Welcome to the historic Birch Lodge Resort, the place we like to call the Mini Grand Hotel (without the fudge!). Step back in time to your choice of 1915 elegance, or 1960 retro Motel living. The lake is beautiful, the fishing is great. Mostly it is a perfect place to relax and unwind. Enjoy the banter around the campfire and the light Continental breakfast in the Grand dining area.

This was such a gem! I stayed in the motel and my view was of Trout Lake. There were little snacks and a couple bottled waters in my room upon arrival. It’s contactless check-in, and I received a phone call the day of stating which room I would be in. My motel room had beautiful decor that reminded me of the 40s-50s and was super clean. I did not shower because I was unsure of the water quality. The lodge looks beautiful inside and they serve a little continental breakfast with muffins and an amazing coffee cake. Coffee was okay, but I didn’t stay for the coffee. Loved how close this was to the falls and whitefish point. There’s a couple restaurants that get great reviews nearby. Buckhorn Bar has the best burger and fries around. I’ll be back for sure.

It’s very beautiful and picturesque. The staff are very friendly. I stayed in the motel, it was clean and comfortable. It was a little dated and had that on the lake smell, it is on a lake so that can be expected. It’s not a bad thing just wanted to mention it. The lake view is amazing from the rocking chairs on the large front porch of the main house. I would definitely go back and stay here. I might try a room in the main house because they look really nice when they let me look at one.
