I was introduced to BSR by my wife that has been coming since she was born (1975) and her family…read morehas been coming since the late 50's. I quickly fell in love with the resort and all it has to offer. This is a rustic cabin U.P. getaway that encourages its guests to share their week with each other. It offers children to run free safely to enjoy the beach, Rec Hall, playground or docks (not to mention nightly scooter rides.) The prices are fair, the number of people that rebook for the next year is unheard of and fellow "campers" become family. If you're able to get a cabin year after year for a week during the best weather months for the U.P., you are very lucky. Oh, and the sunsets! This is a family vacation! Family owned, family friendly and family focused. My kids love it here and we will never miss a summer trip to Birch Shores. As a footnote, when I proposed to my wife (way back in Feb 2004), I knew she love BSR so much, I turned my apartment into a virtual Birch Shores. Several hundred pounds of sand, "Lake Manistique" (okay, just a kiddie pool with fake fish), chase lounges and all. This is her favorite place on earth and wanted it to be a part of this big moment. That's the kind of resort this is.

This place was so accommodating! We could not find any hotels with rooms and finally found this…read morespot at around 10:00 at night. The owner was so kind, making our beds as we got there since she was not expecting anyone for the night. The cabin was very nice, we had 6 people in it. The lake in the morning is a must see, no boats were on the lake and it was truly serene. I definitely recommend!

What a delight this little retreat was. The cute one-bedroom cabin we rented was extremely…read morecomfortable. The bed is a bit soft, but what a delightful location to wake up. We arrived in the dark, but the next morning opened the curtains to the most beautiful lake right out our front door. The owners even provide small boats for the use of the guests. We were compacting a lot of site seeing into a short time so we did not use the boats, but we sure enjoyed the beach chairs down by the lake. Everything was clean and well equipped. Marybeth and her husband went out of their way to make us feel very comfortable. This will be a destination location the next time we visit Michigan.

Probably the cleanest motel/hotel I have occupied outside of Disney World. I could not believe how…read moreclean it was. The indoor pool area is also very clean. We spent the night after spending the day at Tahquamenon Falls. We called ahead to make sure dogs were allowed. Front office staff was friendly. We had some trouble with the television and someone came over right away to fix it. There is a large green space in the back for dogs and kids to run and stretch their legs after a long car journey. This place is no frills! No coffee pot in the room. No telephone even to call the front desk -- you have to walk over. Struggled to find an outlet to charge the phone. The bed was definitely not great. It wiggled and jiggled like it was an air bed on springs. The desk person didn't seem to have a clue as to where we could find a place to eat. She gave us a couple names and vague directions but one was closed. I would recommend the Evening Star as a place to stay on your way to someplace else.

Let's get one thing clear: This is just a pit stop. A rest area on US-2. So don't expect there to…read morebe a whole lot to do here. That being said, it's an awesome pit stop. There's a beach with sand and tree-lined views up and down the coast. It's much more scenic than almost any other pit stop, where your eyes get a treat while you stretch your legs. If you don't want to (or can't) get sandy, there are a couple wooden walkways that are also handicap accessible. This way you can enjoy the shoreline views without having to get in the sand. There's also historical information posted around the area. Turns out this place was once the border of the United States! There are also restrooms here.

I would like to say that the poor review that was left by a gentleman named John G. is not 100%…read morefactual. They were instructed to call the motel to reserve the rooms with a credit card. This was apparently never done so the rooms were not reserved. It could have been avoided with a simple call to the motel to ensure everything was in order. As far as the other issues noted, I am following up with management to find out more. Please do not let one bad review keep you from staying. Certainly if there are any short comings we would like to know so improvements can be made. I've gotten many good reviews that are not posted on here. Also, the current website can be found on Google, not the one listed here. Thank you
