Cozy and Pristine

Quiet Getaway

We had the corner King room in the lodge and it was beautiful. We did not have view of lake but we enjoyed sitting out on the large porch in rockers with our wine enjoying sunset over the lake. Use of kayaks a plus and the fire pit was perfect on a chilly night. You should know there is no elevator in the lodge but you will always get assistance with the bags if you need it. Also there is no TV in the lodge rooms but we did not miss it.

Alfred, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Highly recommend the Birch Lodge. Property is exactly as advertised in a quiet and peaceful location. Rooms were very clean as is the main lodge where they serve a continental breakfast including freshly baked muffins. We had a retro room with 2 comfortable beds and a picture window looking out on Trout Lake. A nice change from the more commercial hotels.

kelly, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

This is a nicely unique hotel that steps you back in time. Its very peaceful and a great place to reset from a busy life. The caretakers we nice but seemed overworked. Jim was very friendly and accomodating but his wife seemed frazzled. I would have liked to see a few more ammenities offered. Their breakfast was extremely basic. Some afternoon cookies or evening popcorn to bring a social aspect to the guests would have added a bit of charm.
