We had a wonderful stay at White Birch! The house is spacious and nicely decorated, perfect for our family getaway. The kids loved the ping pong and foosball tables in the garage, and the location was ideal, just a short drive to the Lake Michigan beaches. The kitchen had most things we needed, and check-in was seamless. We’d definitely stay here again!

Great place to stay, it felt like staying at my own house. It was well kept and kitchen had everything you might need. The area was great for pets as there was no neighbors close by. Close to other townships like Frankfort, Beulah and Benzonia. If available next year we will try to stay here again.

Wonderful winter getaway

We had so much fun at White Birch! The house itself is so well appointed, cozy, and CLEAN. We appreciated the coffee and spices and all of the toiletries that were provided. During our stay, we enjoyed time at Crystal skiing and taking advantage of the spa. We had a lovely drive up M22 checking out Lake Michigan’s icy shores. We enjoyed a couple visits to Storm Cloud for food and drinks. And we ended our stay with a beautiful sunset at Frankfort Beach. We cannot to back to White Birch!

We only stayed at this property for two days and I really wish we could have stayed longer! There was great access to Sleeping Bear Dunes and the neighboring towns were we could eat, drink, and shop. The bike trail is just around the corner and I was sad I didn't have time to use the available bikes to explore. Everything was clean and organized and ready for our stay!
