We stayed at this lake house for four nights and we honestly cannot wait to come back! It was excessively big for our family of four, very comfortable and incredibly clean. It was well appointed with everything you need in the kitchen, as well as for the lake (kayaks, canoe, dock with ladder, firewood for the fire pit, lots of chairs, small sandy beach area). The lake was very accessible, clear, and peaceful. The house itself was the last of three on a dirt road and surrounded by trees. You truly feel up north here. And the location is perfect! So many hiking and biking trails nearby (including one within walking distance), as well as small towns, bigger lakes, and Lake Michigan, all practically right out the back door. And Linda is fabulous!! Great communication, early check-in offered, and thoughtful welcome gifts included (not to mention a very handy local list of things to do, places to eat, and very easy check out instructions). And the house was impressively clean when we arrived. I cannot say enough good things about this house and our experience here. We will definitely be back!

Very well equipped home and very pleasant surroundings.

We love Birch Point! We loved it so much that this was our second stay, and definitely not our last. The property is peaceful, quiet, and has lots of wildlife! The home is super clean, super comfortable and is completely stocked with everything you need to have a great week. From the kitchen to the kayaks outside! We love to sit outside on the dock in the morning and drink coffee. There are lots of hiking trails around and places to go, and not a far drive to Sleeping Bear Dunes. Linda is very friendly and easy to get in touch with in regards to anything to do with your stay. 5 stars, highly recommend!!!!!!!

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
