Beulah Vacation Rental - Birdsong Cottage

Exactly what we needed: space, location, amenities and proximity to river

The home was absolutely beautiful. We all agreed it was even nicer in person than the photos show! VERY short walking distance to the beach, downtown area, food. The fire pit and wood were perfect, kids played Frisbee while we relaxed around the fire in the evening. Will definitely be back if we are in the area again!

We felt like it was a visit to grandmas house that was made just for us!

This was an idyllic cottage for our annual visit to the area, balancing a historic vibe with modern amenities. Every detail seemed carefully planned and there were so many little touches that you can tell how much the owners care about your experience. The location was amazing, directly up the hill above the main strip of Beulah. We walked down to Ursa Major for our coffee every morning, and there is a public beach on Crystal Lake right nearby as well. Special callout to the firepit complete with all the wood you need for a bonfire. We sincerely appreciate the owners for their exceptional communication and will look to come back next year!

Birdsong Cottage is a classic Craftsman cottage that was very comfy for our family vacation of 4 adults and 3 children. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking equipment and dishes. The bathrooms are clean and look brand new. We had fun at the Crystal Lake beach and also found Beulah a great base location for exploring the Lake Michigan coastline.

Plenty of space, well equipped, and a nice outdoor space. Easy walk to downtown Beulah and the beach!

Convenient location—met our needs

Great amenities and very clean. The owner was amazing - great communication and very accommodating! Great layout for families with kids.

We had 7 people total in our party and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location was perfect for us because we rafted down the Platte River. The cottage was only a 15 minute drive from our start point. The host was quick to respond to messages and the kitchen was stocked with plenty of utensils and tools to grill out one afternoon. Would recommend!

Very nice and quaint house, perfect location for my son's wedding. You can walk into town, local restaurants/breweries as well as shops. Sarah was very communitive and answered any questions I had. The layout worked well for our group, and everyone was very comfortable.

Our family LOVED staying at the Birdsong Cottage. The house and property were extremely comfortable, with absolutely everything we needed for the week. Short walk to the beach and the quaint downtown area. We certainly hope to visit again.

Lifelong friend group (40 years) short little vacation! This place was perfect! Communication with the host was amazing! Perfect little cottage walking distance to the adorable little town of Beulah. Close to all the amazing wonders of Lake Michigan! Perfect getaway!

This was the perfect place for a nice, relaxing summer vacation. Great location with the cute town of Beulah just a quick walk down the hill to enjoy restaurants, shops, and a great brewery. There is also a public access beach just down the hill and we enjoyed walking along Crystal Lake each morning on the Betsie Valley Trail. Frankfort and Traverse City are quick drives and we ventured up to Fishtown and toured the Leelanau Peninsula one day. St. Ambrose is also a fun family spot with Bear, meads, wines, as well as cornhole, bocce ball and even a garden with some beehives to view. They had music the night we went…loved the staff and relaxed atmosphere. We also had fun at the mini golf place just up the road! We would highly recommend the Birdhouse Cottage…Sarah really has thought of everything. So cute! Air conditioner is only upstairs; however, it was not a problem when we were there, fans kept it comfortable throughout the house. We would definitely stay again!

We had such a great time at Birdsong Cottage! The owners really went above and beyond, they thought of everything when furnishing this place! Pens and notepads exactly where I needed them, small baskets for laundry, plenty of soap and toilet paper, even a night light in the kids' room! My kids loved discovering the board games, toys, and books, and my husband and I appreciated the fully stocked kitchen. The couch and beds were comfy, and the outdoor space is incredible! The location is perfect for a quick walk to downtown Beulah, and just a few minutes drive from lots of stores, restaurants, and other adventures. We enjoyed it so much, hope to be back next year!
