About this property

Twin Birch Resort - The Kodiak Cabin: Lake Access with Dock, Rowboat, and Kayak!

The Kodiak Cabin is a charming and traditional log cabin at Twin Birch Resort, a lakefront resort on Little Platte with 4 cabins on the premises. The rental includes full access to Little Platte Lake including your own rowboat and kayak! There is also a dock and firepit at the resort that is shared among all 4 cabins. The cabins are all technologically updated with high-speed and live streaming Roku television. This log cabin truly provides for a fun, peaceful, and relaxing getaway!


NEIGHBORHOOD:

The property is in a quiet neighborhood of lakefront homes and resorts, with Big Platte Lake on one side of the road and Little Platte Lake on the other side of the road. Boating, kayaking, and fishing are very popular on both lakes. Peterson Beach on Lake Michigan is also only 4.6 miles from the resort!

Outside of the immediate area, the property is close to Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, Lake Michigan, Crystal Lake, Traverse City, and a lot of cute little beach towns in the area like Beulah, Frankfort, Empire, and Glen Arbor. There are all kinds of hiking trails in the area and outdoor activities of all kinds are very popular. The area truly provides for a great vacation getaway!

Note that the cabin is open year-round and it's warm and cozy in the winter! There are also a lot of activities in the area during the winter. Cross-country and downhill skiing are popular in the area and the cabin is just 16 miles from Crystal Mountain Resort in Thompsonville, which has both downhill and cross-country skiing as well as ice skating. Both cross-country skiing and snowshoeing are available at nearby Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. Sleeping Bear Dunes is also great for winter hiking.

Ice fishing is popular in the area as well and Little Platte Lake, Big Platte Lake, and nearby Crystal Lake are all good spots for ice fishing. Snowmobiling is also popular and there are snowmobiling trails nearby in the Thompsonville area. Several communities in the area also have Christmas festivities and winter carnivals and/or parades.


TRANSIT:

It is recommended that guests have their own vehicle.


PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:

(1) Due to seasonal weather constraints, all outdoor amenities (including the firepit, dock, boats, etc.) are only guaranteed in terms of availability from June 1 through Sept. 30.

(3) Guests are welcome to bring their own motors or rent one for use with the row boats. Crystal Lake Marina in Honor and Beulah rent boat motors. Motors should be 10 Horsepower or less and must be short shaft because Little Platte Lake is VERY shallow.

The Kodiak cabin was the perfect choice for our family trip. We have stayed at many cabins and this was by far the cleanest and most cofortable. The location was close to all of the area attractions we wanted to check out and the kayaks and rowboats were great for heading out on the water.

Property was the perfect home base to explore Michigan. Less than 20 minutes from Sleeping Bears Dunes and less than 5 miles from beach front at Lake Michigan, it allowed us time to explore instead of wasting time driving. Teenage sons enjoyed the lake and boats provided with the rental. Cabin was clean and spacious for our family of 4. We’d stay again!
Property was updated and clean. Covered area was perfect for the 1 rainy day we had

Have always stayed at the Brown Bear but the 1st stay in Kodiak was very nice and comfortable. The dishwasher wasn’t working but that was ok we did the dishes and left them out to dry when we left. Very comfortable bed and furnishings. I missed the screened in porch but it only rained for a few days. Can’t wait to come back! Thank You!John Meister

The cabin presented well. Clean and very comfortable for 4 people. It was our base from which we enjoyed torch lake and the local wineries. The lake on the property was pristine and we enjoyed the bonfire area both evenings. The quiet neighborhood was well kept and people were friendly.

Great cabin in the woods

Cabin was great, as is location. The ad however had mentioned a kayak, a canoe, and a firepit included, which we were told after check in were not available in October as these are seasonal items offered. Slightly disappointing as that was part of the reason we chose this location, but the cabin itself was great. Would stay again, but a bit misleading regarding amenities offered in the ad listing.

Nice place

I liked this place. Has that old-school, “up north”, Michigan cabin vibe. Exactly what I was looking for. Nice and clean. Management was very responsive. There are plastic bags, or barriers, on all of the mattresses. I guess that’s hygienic? It doesn’t make for a comfortable night’s sleep, however.

The key feature of the resort is Little Platte Lake and the property leverages all of the lake with a great dock and the provision of both a rowboat and kayak to all guests!
