New Birch Lake 4 bd / 3.5 ba lakefront home

Summary:
A hygge-inspired retreat that features easy access to all that Northern Michigan has to offer.

The Space:
This home was built in the summer of 2023 and was created with guest convenience and spaciousness in mind.

The main floor has two full bathrooms, the main bedroom, a large open floor plan featuring a living room, kitchen, and dining room, as well as a gorgeous view of Birch Lake through the sliding doors that exit to the porch.

The upper floor has an additional 3 bedrooms and one and a half bathrooms, a large open living space and storage room. Both bedrooms have views of the lakefront and are well lit with natural light.

Outside there is 100 feet of lake frontage, a good sized beach and yard, as well as a storage shed, porch/deck, and fire pit.

Finally, there is an attached garage that guests are welcomed to use during their stay with two parking spaces included and the driveway can accommodate 2 - 3 additional cars.

Guest Access:
Guests will have full access to the home, with the exception being the upstairs storage and mechanicals closet - which will be clearly label as "Private".

The Neighborhood:
The home is in part of the Birch Lake Association, a small lakeside community dedicated to preserving the natural beauty of the area, as well as to creating an inviting family environment.

Located nearby Elk Rapids, and within a mile of East Grand Traverse Bay and short drive to Torch Lake and Elk Lake, it's an ideal place for small groups and families to experience the best parts of being Up North.

Getting Around:
Guests need their own transportation. Also, there's plenty of parking in our driveway and two car garage.

Other Things to Note:
There is a noise detection device located on the main floor in the living room. Please be aware that it does not record anything but rather it simply detects noise levels, temperature, humidity, and the number of connected devices. It will alert the host if decibels stay consistently over 75 (approximately the level of a vacuum cleaner) for longer than 10 minutes.

In short, it is a party prevention device but it is not a recording device.

Additionally, there is a Ring doorbell camera on the front door and Ring security camera that monitors the back entrance and porch; the camera is on the outside of the home and only monitors the porch/door area.

Interaction with Guests:
You host will be available via the VRBO app at all times, but it's highly unlikely that you'll meet him in person. He's happy to help with any trip recommendations, issues that occur at the house, or to answer any questions you've got about the accommodations, area, or your booking.
