Guestbook Comment

Dr. David Fletcher Wheaton, IL
Review Submitted: July 8, 2005 Date of Stay: July 2005
My wife and I had our honeymoon here in 1976 and
have been back all but two of the intervening years.
The present management dates to 1988 and they
are wonderful hosts. The cabins are well
maintained and attractive, and the lakefront is
private and quiet.
Owner's Response: The Fletchers have been among our most welcome guests - they always seem to be having a great time here.

Relaxing Family Getaway

CitySlickers10 Howell, MI, USA
Review Submitted: July 8, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
We had a great stay at Birch Shores Resort’s Hemlock. The cabin is great if you’re not looking for anything fancy, just relaxing up north. We had a large group of 6 adults, 2 children, and 2 infants and found the open living room/kitchen to provide a good amount of space. The cabins are right on the water, with a beautiful and clean lakefront. We enjoyed the two kayaks and one canoe available for our use. The kids loved the shallow, sandy-bottomed lakeshore. The owner was very friendly. The location (proximity to the Dune Climb, Scenic Drive, Glen Haven, and Glen Arbor) was great! Our only disappointment was that the wireless internet was not accessible throughout our stay. We would recommend this property to friends and would consider it again ourselves in the future.
