The BEST cottage with the BEST hosts on the BEST lake!

From the moment you arrive you can see how much this cottage means to the family that owns it. Every detail has been considered and you are welcomed like a member of the family. Bring your clothes and food and just be ready to completely relax on this beautiful, peaceful lake. Our group ranged in age from 2 to 68 and all had a fantastic time. The Red Cottage is also a perfect base for exploring wineries, breweries, bike and hiking trails, sand dunes, small towns, museums, galleries and so much more. But at the end of the day it is a special place to gather around a fire and enjoy beautiful Birch Lake.

Perfect Up North MI Vacation

As life-long Michiganders, we felt it was time to give our kiddos the essential Up North experience. We’ve stayed in VRBOS throughout the states, and have had pretty decent experiences throughout. This cabin and its hosts were great! The lake is perfect for kids to swim and enjoy water sports-it’s warm, shallow, and the kayaks/paddleboard/sand toys provided offered plenty of family fun. We were able to drop and anchor our Waverunners and play, having the lake mostly to ourselves. The cabin’s proximity to so many wonderful MI adventures kept us busy-Traverse, Torch Lake, and Mackinac to name a few. We were pleasantly surprised by the spaciousness of the home. There was plenty of room for everyone. When we had a minor setback with the electronic lockbox not working upon our arrival, the host answered our call immediately and found a solution in no time. We highly recommend this rental and would love to stay here again!

The Red Cottage

We had a wonderful time at the Red Cottage. Birch Lake is beautiful and relaxing. All was provided for a fun time at the beach and it's location is perfect (Traverse City, Petoskey, Mackinaw). The hosts were awesome and very quick to respond to a couple questions we had upon our arrival. We look forward to our return!

Horrible conditon

The condition of this property is not suited for rental due to the hazardous conditions and uncleanliness. This is a liability hazard. The floor are sagging and there is plywood and rugs on the floors. we kept tripping over and almost fell. This WAS NOT disclosed ,in fact the photos of the listing are not accurate, As they do not show the condition of the floors and the dirt on everything in the cottage from dog hair to mold growing in showers and a hazard on the bed with the frame bent over. Window were filthy along with the patio chairs and washing machine The fans had so much dirt on them it blew out when you turned them on. There was no screen on the bedroom window. The microwave has on three legs and when you put food it it it spill. I can go on and on. Please clean this property and fix it. Had I know these conditions existed I would not have rented. These conditions were not revealed on this site or in photos.

Beautiful shallow beach

The beach is beautiful and shallow the length of the dock. The beds are comfortable. The cabin needs some tlc. The floors are uneven, they had plywood and mats on kitchen floor during our stay. The kitchen chairs, couch, and arm chairs need help. The neighbor next store came midweek, and frequently let his large dog roam wherever, and it came over and was going to fight my dog. The kayaks are a plus. The cable tv/internet was also a plus

Perfect Family Vacation

This was our second year renting the Red Cottage. We love it! The cottage itself is comfortable for a family of of 5. Plenty of kitchen essentials to cook at home and enough room to play card games inside. Super location near plenty of things to do. Even though we spent the majority of our days in the water. With a young child, the shallow water and sandy bottom are perfect. Plan on returning next summer. Thank you!

Perfect Family Cottage

This is the perfect cottage for families to enjoy. The beach area is a great way to relax and spend your days-both for the adults and the kids. The location is central to our day trips to Charleroix, Traverse City, and Old Mission Peninsula. Having multiple fans available in the cottage was much appreciated for the humid days/nights. Plenty of room for our family of 4 adults and 2 children. We look forward to staying here again.

Can't wait to return!

This is our second year staying at the Red Cottage. Once again it did not disappoint! The lake is crystal clear and the water temp was perfect. Plenty of toys for the water (kayaks, SUPs, kids toys). The cottage itself was very clean. It has EVERYTHING we needed. Beds are comfy! Having all the linens provided is a perk for packing. Elk Rapids is just down the road so it's easy access to cafes, the bakery, and the grocery store. So glad we found this gem!

Red cottage experience

We have vacationed at the red cottage several times and always had a great experience . Birch lake is crystal clear with a sandy bottom. The cottage is very comfortable and clean with every thing you need for a great stay. Extra bonus this year were the kayaks for our use.

Delightful Cottage on the Lake

This property is everything we hoped for and more. The close proximity to Elk Rapids made dinner and getting groceries a breeze. The kitchen is the best stocked setup we've seen. All the beds were comfy. We literally wanted for nothing. The Wi-Fi and cable were a bonus as the weather was not ideal. Neighbors were nice too! Having all the "little things" at our fingertips made our stay so comfortable. The lake was crystal clear. Each day on the water was peaceful. We would love to return again! Thank you for sharing your home with us!!

Beautiful lake!

My family and I just got back from a week stay at birch lake and it was beautiful! The cabin was a bit small but honestly with the beautiful beach and sandy, clear lake, it didn’t matter. We spent most of our time outside and didn’t really notice the close quarters as we originally thought we would. This cabin is a bit older so there is normal wear and tear for an older up north cabin. The beds were very comfortable and there were a lot of unexpected perks. Firewood was provided for bon fires, lots of towels for the beach and bathing, kitchen utensils, lots of chairs, 3 kayaks, a row boat, reserve osmosis water (a game changer for those not used to well water) and many other amenities were provided. Having a dishwasher on site was a game changer so we could cook large meals and not have to waste precious vacation time doing dishes lol it was also very nice to have the option to wash clothes in the cabin! We enjoyed the ability to go into traverse city so easily but then still come back to elk rapids and escape the crowds. Charlevoix, torch lake, and Bellaire are all super close as well which was really nice. There was so much to do if the weather wasn’t right for being in the water! All in all this was a wonderful stay and my family would like to thank the Maddex family for allowing us to experience birch lake and make memories of our own at their cabin!

We are from the East Lansing area. This has been our family cottage for 60 years. As the 5 sons travel farther away, we want to let others enjoy the wonderful experiences we had growing up at this lake.

Por qué eligió esta propiedad

The warm lake and family access first drew our parents here. Over the years the lake has proven to be a wonderful place for creating family memories. The lake and area are beautiful, and invites you back year after year.

Qué distingue a esta propiedad

It was the safe, friendly, family atmosphere that drew us to Birch Lake. The clean, warm water and shallow sandy bottom makes the lake ideal for families and children. Evening campfires, beautiful sunsets, playing splash football and throwing a Frisbee in the shallows, learning to fish and water ski. These are just some of the memories you'll take home, as we did.
