💙Enjoy Torch Lake’s legendary turquoise waters from this completely remodeled cottage directly on the water. The location and view will blow you away!

🏡The Birch is impeccably clean, super comfortable, and fully updated inside and out! The vintage modern flair captures the up north setting perfectly. You will love the brand new bathroom, furniture, premium mattresses, spacious living room, waterfront patio, flat screen TV, Sonos Bluetooth speaker, high speed wifi, fully stocked kitchen, fire table and lounge furniture on the deck, grill, two kayaks and two stand up paddle boards for all your water adventures.

📍PRIME location close to Traverse City, Bellaire, Charlevoix, Elk Rapids and more. Northern Michigan has something for everyone: wine tasting, boating, downhill and cross country skiing close by, exploring quaint towns, and more! Our place is a perfect home base for all your up north adventures. It’s just 15 minutes drive to Shanty Creek (Schuss Mountain), 10 minutes to Bellaire, 5 minutes to Alden, 25 to Elk Rapids, and 30 to Charlevoix or Traverse City.

✨The Birch Cottage boasts 3 beautifully appointed bedrooms, 1 full bath with full size washer and dryer, spacious living room, dining area, fully equipped kitchen, and private deck/patio overlooking the water (with amazing sunsets every night!) right outside your door.

👍🏼The space is ideal for couples, groups of adults and families. Renters may not have additional guests join them at the property during their stay. We have neighbors who are full time residents and we care deeply about ensuring the area remains quiet and peaceful for them.

🐟Our cottage offers the best of both worlds- the quiet privacy of a waterfront home along with the excitement of a variety of activities right at your fingertips. We are part of a quiet, friendly community of 9 homes that share 265 feet of pristine Torch Lake frontage. During your stay, you can use a large community deck, swimming dock (in the water mid-May through mid-October), sandy beach area (perfect for little ones to wade in the water), beach volleyball court, swings, large open grassy area for yard games, picnic tables and chairs along the water.
