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!

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!

We had a very enjoyable stay at this VRBO. The house was very clean and in a good location. The only possible issue could be the lack of air but it was cool for our stay so we didn’t have any issues and each room did have a nice fan provided!
