Spent a week with family of 5 at Birch Point and had plenty of room with plenty of spaces. Deck is spacious and in good condition. Good grill. Back sun room very nice with comfortable seating. Very clean and well equipped kitchen. Beach area and dock were very nice, tucked away in a great location on the lake. Plan on staying again.
