The Family Vacation You're Looking for on Birch Lake

Hi Pamela, we're so happy you enjoyed the location and amenities. The floor has been completely replaced after our labor shortages over the pandemic. We're looking forward to a fresh start next season!

We're so happy that you enjoyed your stay at our humble cottage.

Patricia, we're so glad you enjoyed your stay at the Red Cottage! So sorry about the water issue- we have a huge water filtration system that might have not been working properly and we weren't made aware of it. My apologies! Hope to host you again!

Thanks for being such awesome guests and loving the cottage as your own! See you next year!

We're happy you enjoyed our cottage and our beautiful beach front. Repairs to the floors have commenced after labor shortages through the pandemic and we are happy to have a fresh start next season.

Thanks for your feedback, Laura. Some like big cozy couches you can sink into, and some like a firmer cushion. We are happy that you enjoyed the rest of your stay.

Thanks for your feedback, Kathleen. As posted at the cabin, the floors are getting a complete renovation at the end of the season and will be fresh and ready for many summers after that. Other furniture needs are being tended to, as well. I'm sorry to hear that your doggo didn't get along with the neighbor's dog. Being a pet friendly place means that others' pets could likely be here, too.

Lynn, I'm so sorry to hear that you were unsatisfied with the your stay. I wish that I had heard from you at check in and I would have sent our cleaning team to address the problems. Unfortunately, I wasn't made aware of any of this, nor had I received negative feedback from our previous guests before you, as this certainly isn't the way that we hope to represent our favorite family cottage. I believe that the "mold issue" that you are referring to is actually iron build up (it can stain the tub red) from the Northern Michigan water table, and our whole home water filtration system was having trouble keeping up earlier this year. The floor issue was disclosed at the property, as something that had come up during this season. You'll be happy to know we've gone through extensive renovations to tear up the floor and replace, at the end of the season and everything is back in line with what we have always enjoyed at the Red Cottage. As with all old homes, they have a lot of charm, but sometimes issues arise that we can't address immediately!

I'm so glad you enjoyed your time at the Red Cottage. I'd be happy to host you any time.
