Guestbook comments from the manager
The house is great! The pictures don't do justice to the actual home. The house is not only clean and tidy, but it is also newly renovated and well maintained. The house is overall very cozy and we had a relaxing time spending the day and evenings in the common areas. The beds are comfortable and the house was spotless upon arrival. A must stay for anyone looking to visit the Harbor Springs area.

Very Relaxing!
My wife and I, along with our three teenagers, stayed here over President's Day weekend to get away from the city and do some skiing. After a long drive and arriving around 1am we were greeted by a well lit and beautiful home, with a small gift from the management company waiting for us. We instantly switched to vacation mode. We spent the days at Nub's Nob (10 minute drive) skiing and then the evenings relaxing in this very cozy and roomy home. The house was clean, modern and well stocked with supplies. The beds were amazingly comfortable to sleep in and I loved the fireplace. We cooked breakfast and dinner at the house each day and enjoyed the beautiful views of the snow and woods around us. Very quiet and very relaxing. Management was easy to deal with and the surrounding area is quite beautiful, as well. Harbor Springs and Petoskey are very unique gems. There is something here for everyone. We will definitely come back. It was nice in the winter, but I believe it must be amazing here in the summer. I cannot wait to find out!
Updated home in beautiful Birchwood CC
Resort Rental Management first of all does a great job. Booking etc was simple and the home was clean as a whistle and well equipped when we arrived. Although this home is in the woods, there was still a fair amount of light coming in and a cleared area in the back to get some sun. The neighborhood is great, perfect for walks and bike rides. Birchwood CC is always fun....tennis, pickle ball, bocci ball, great pool, golf, fitness room, bar and dining facilities. In winter there are good cross country trails. The house was great for us...roomy first floor master and large bath. 2 bedrooms upstairs also large with lots of closet space. One full bath upstairs to share. Open floor plan and large deck with nice dining set. Clean, well equipped, comfortable, updated...no complaints!
outstanding home
This was perhaps the best equipped home I have ever stayed in. Beautiful home in a completely private and tranquil setting. Great location convenient to both Harbor Springs and Petoskey. Access to the Birchwood CC facilties is a great bonus.
retreat in the woods
Open plan main floor has solid cascade of windows looking out onto woods. Sunlight pours in, yet you have complete privacy. Master and bath are on this level. Only reason to go upstairs is if guests or family members are staying in its two bedrooms. All necessities are provided for a relaxing, fun time. Kitchenware is of good quality. Location gives quick access to club and to town. Central heat/air available if fresh air from open sliding doors is not comfortable. TV needs upgrading to flat screen and cable to HD.
