A beautiful place to stay!

Being able to look out of the door wall at beautiful Betsie Bay was a plus! Saw 3 deer at the neighbors property. They seem very comfortable coming into the neighborhood. The home was perfect, fresh and clean. It had snowed the night before so it was to cold to go for a bike ride but there was 8 or 9 bikes in the garage along with foosball and a ping pong. I would recommend this rental to anybody and everybody! Another bonus was the washer and dryer which we needed because we were rock collecting at Point Betsie and got quite wet do to windy conditions. I would definitely consider renting again.

Great Family Getaway

We stayed at White Birch for a week for a family getaway. The property was clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well appointed and the towels and linens provided were clean and nice. The property is located in a quiet neighborhood at the end of the street, so it feels quite private and peaceful. Beautiful views from the back patio. We enjoyed the fire pit and the kids enjoyed the ping pong and foosball tables in the garage, as well as the bikes (after we put air in the tires). I would recommend staying here for a peaceful getaway.

Clean & Adorable

Adorable house that has been newly updated. The place was immaculately cleaned and felt like home. The owners also let us bring our dogs which we truly appreciated and they loved chasing their ball in the huge private front yard. Super close to the town of Frankfurt which is on the lake with cute shops and restaurants. Wonderful place to stay and enjoy the area in!

pre-holiday get-away

The location is perfect for hiking, kayaking, biking and just being outdoors. The house itself is comfortable, roomy and accommodated 4 adults and one dog quite comfortably. The view from the patio is striking, overlooking the Betsie and lots of wildlife especially in the spring with many birds nesting including trumpeter swans. Really nice. It was our 4th time staying here and we hope to return in the fall. It is very nice indeed!
