Honor, Michigan
Birch Point is a 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath cottage located on the west end of Long Lake in Benzie County. The cottage has everything needed for a couples or family vacation. This is a private, serene setting on an all sports lake with amazing wildlife! Enjoy fishing or canoeing/kayaking past loons and sandhill cranes. Across the street you can hike the old Indian trail to stunning views of Lake Michigan and the Manitou Islands and swim and lunch on the beach. Lake Michigan beaches and sunsets in beautiful Frankfort and the dune climb in Empire are must do's!
The area also boasts several golf courses, including Crystal Mountain and renowned Arcadia Bluffs. Tube down the Platte River. Take a drive to Traverse City or Glen Arbor. Try your luck at the casinos. Come enjoy the fall colors and salmon fishing. Lots to do in what GMA in 2011 voted "The most beautiful place in America!"
i house was nice and many animals and birds in area very quite and relaxing
This rental house is Wonderful! Great beds, and Great sheets! Very clean and there was everything we needed as a family to make some of our meals. The setting is beautiful as it’s on Long Lake. Our family loved sitting on their huge back porch overlooking the lake. The owners left recommendations for their favorite restaurants, things to do in the area, etc. They were also available if we had any questions. We will definitely be back! Thanks Bob and Linda
We enjoyed our stay so much! This place is a gem. The house is so clean and the lakefront property is exactly as pictured, with canoes and kayaks for use. The property manager was very responsive and an amazing host. We felt so welcome and would DEFINITELY stay here again!
This is the second year we stayed here and loved it as much as our first. Super house for lake activities. Kayaks, canoe, fire pit, fishing poles. Highly recommend Manitou for eating.
My husband, 2 adult children with their spouses, and I stayed here for a week. I couldn’t have asked for a better set-up. The house was exceptionally clean, kitchen extremely well stocked and there was plenty of space for the 6 of us. The location was ideal: on quiet Long Lake, close to Lake Michigan, between Frankfort and Sleeping Bear Dunes. AND if that weren’t enough, the owners Linda & Bob couldn’t have been kinder, more helpful, or more generous. I could go on and on but suffice it to say, and I will be back.
We were impressed immediately at the cleanliness of the house - from the counters to the floors to the drawers even. And as we looked around, every closet, pantry, and drawer had the items you would expect to find in your own home, and are likely to forget to bring along. For example, cling wrap! We needed it to cover some leftovers and there it was! Plastic sandwich bags for our packed lunch? Same drawer. How about laundry detergent? Also provided. Ice cube trays? Check. More towels than you would ever need? Yep - clean and folded on both levels. Firewood? Yep - in the shed. Speaking of the shed, you will be pleased to find fishing poles, life jacket, bocce ball set, Cornhole game, a fishing net, extra chairs, paddles and many other useful items ready for your use. The kayaks were so nice to have on the peaceful lake and my kids enjoyed the big yard with a fire pit and Adirondack chairs, while my wife and I loved hanging out in the massive porch with comfortable chairs and beautiful red flowers blooming in all of the planter boxes. I think having the owners right up the road makes such a difference as we could really sense the pride of ownership and just general ‘niceness’ of the property. Definitely not like one of the ones owned by a property management company where they just do the bare minimum. Finally, the location is quite literally across the street from a lovely National Lakeshore trailhead with a loop hike that takes you to Lake MichigaN
Quick family visit, clean and peaceful.
Our entire group had a quiet relaxing getaway. The cottage was very clean and well-stocked. We had a lot of fun with the kayaks, canoe, tubes and simply floating and chillin' in the lake. Highly recommend for a family or simple getaway for 2.
Relaxing stay - truly enjoyed the seclusion and privacy. Super easy connection with the owner. Clean and spacious with plenty of room for our adult children and grandson. Hiked daily on the trail located just across the street that leads to a quiet beach on Lake Michigan - loved rock hunting. Beautiful morning sunrises and quiet evenings. Supermoon glowing on the lake was a special treat! Wonderful spacious deck, plenty of comfortable outdoor furniture and well maintained grill ready to use. Perfect choice for our family and we are already planning to stay again!
We had a wonderful time on vacation here. The owner Linda was friendly and very helpful. The house is clean, on a pretty lake, and well furnished. We used both kayaks and canoe numerous times. We were surprised at the amount of fishing equipment on hand which we also used. Linda had an outside fire pit ready for us to just light with a match. The locale is within sort drives of everything we were looking to do in the area. The welcome package was a nice touch. Great vacation!! We will stay here again and recommend highly.
The house and adjoining property was way better than expected . Water and beach a bit disappointing.
The cottage and property are very well taken care of. Large rooms and well stocked kitchen. Great lake for kayaking. Close proximity to Frankfort and Empire. Highly recommend!
This is our second year staying here. It is so perfect for all our kids. The water keeps them all entertained. We love the area it’s located in, great access to so much.
This little cottage is a dream! Beautiful lake property with a lovely yard, super clean home, and all you need for a wonderful week in Michigan! Linda the property owner was only a message away and easy to communicate with. My family LOVED the lake and the private feel of the cottage. We also loved fishing on Long Lake! The house was clean and spacious with a well stocked kitchen for cooking. Would definitely recommend for those visiting MI! We had a wonderful time and would definitely stay again, thank you!!
