Modern Home in Birchwood Farms, Near Ski Hills & Downtown Harbor Springs!
ABOUT THE RENTAL Nestled in the trees of Birchwood Farms, this bright and clean modern home is ready to host your group for your next trip to Northern Michigan! Upon entering the home into the foyer, you are welcomed by an open staircase that lets light travel from the front to the back of the home. Clean and crisp painted walls of neutral colors allow for a very relaxing feeling throughout the home. The dining table can seat six with an extra two seats at the kitchen counter bar. The kitchen and dining area are open to each other which allows those in the kitchen to be part of the conversations elsewhere. Plenty of light pours in during the day and the second set of oversized sliding doors offer another entrance to the wraparound deck. Granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances make this kitchen easy to cook and enjoy meals at the home. The primary suite is located on the main level and offers a king bed, TV with cable, and a third entrance to the deck. The spacious primary bathroom has plenty of counter space, a soaking tub, and stand-alone shower with another entrance off from the foyer to offer a bathroom to the main level of the home. The oversized laundry room is located off from the kitchen as well as a door to a screened-in porch area that connects to the one-car garage. Upon taking the stairs to the landing area which overlooks the living room are two bedrooms located on each end of the home. One upper level guest room has a queen bed and the other has two twin beds. Both bedrooms have a TV with cable and a Roku setup where you can login to your streaming accounts. There is a recently updated second bath on the upper level to service the guest rooms. Very clean and comfortable home! *Fireplace is inoperable

Thank you for your review of Modern Birchwood Cottage! - Vacation Properties of Northern Michigan
Harbor Springs, Michigan is hard to beat in late September/early October. The property is so close to downtown, the lake, and so many recreational opportunities. It was clean, spacious, and fully equipped for our stay. We would highly recommend this cozy home and would certainly choose to stay here again.

Thank you so much for giving us a 5-star review! Our team, including the owners, management team, and housekeeper, works hard to ensure that every guest has an excellent rental experience, so we are thrilled to hear that your stay was a success! Modern Birchwood Cottage is located within a private community and is an ideal home for those who want a peaceful getaway. However, if you're looking to explore the shops and restaurants, downtown Harbor Springs is just a 10-minute drive away. – Vacation Properties of Northern Michigan
We spent the long weekend skiing at Nubs Nob. Beautiful home with room to relax and gather by the fire. Home was spotless and well appropriated. Thank you for having us!

We loved the Modern Birchwood Cottage. The house was just as pictured, very quiet, and beautifully decorated. The artwork only enhanced the experience. Note that Verizon phone coverage was not available, inside or out, but WiFi worked well.

We’ve rented this home before. Great location, great accommodation for three couples. Highly recommend. One of our favorite activities is hiking through the trail from the Birchwood property to Pond Hill Farm for afternoon glass of wine at the winery.
