The space was perfect. Very clean and cozy. It had everything you’d want; entertainment space, relaxation space, and comfy sleeping spaces. All the beds were very comfortable. The owner communicated quickly with us. The hot tub is huge and very clean!

This was a prefect place to call home during fall break! Great location that is very secluded in the woods so you get that ambiance while only being 15 minutes from town. The home itself couldn’t have been more perfect - had everything we could have needed and so many special touches to make it feel like home. The rec room downstairs was amazing for a family of varying ages. Hosts were extremely responsive. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Everything was great. Well kept good condition home in a great area. Outside of petoskey a few miles, but still close enough to make a quick run into town. All rules and expectations were laid out in a nice book. The book also contains information about how to use various things around the house. It was a very pleasant experience.

Snowy Wonderland

This home is absolutely lovely. There was so much snow while we were there, the kids loved climbing the large mounds and pretending to be snow leopards. The home is warm and cozy. We had fun playing video games, table tennis, doing puzzles, and swimming in the hot tub.

The cabin was beautiful. They had everything you could imagine. It has an amazing game and theater room. We enjoyed sitting back watching movies in the evenings. The hot tub/exercise pool was amazing! Cabin very clean and spacious! Took my fur baby and he loved the fenced in back yard. Jason was very easy to contact and answered our questions quickly. We would definitely consider renting this property again.

Perfect Family Getaway

We escaped to this beautiful house for our spring break with lots of kids. The house was perfect with lots of things to keep them all busy. We used the hot tub/pool, played on the indoor swing set, played pool, ping pong, and basketball, and played games / did puzzles. Every detail was thought of, so we were able to cook there every night. They even had things you wouldn’t normally think of like a food scale. Will definitely stay again!

Beautiful oasis fit for the whole family.

This place is just as described. Plenty of activities indoors for all ages. Kids didn’t want to leave the recreation room. I didn’t want to leave the cozy living room with the fireplace. When a storm came through and knocked the power out, the owners tried their very best to help us. I am truly impressed by their dedication to making this property a home away from home.

Cozy, clean, and incredibly comfortable—this place truly exceeded our expectations. The location is ideal: close enough to downtown Petoskey for easy access to shops and restaurants, yet tucked away enough to fully enjoy the beauty and tranquility of northern Michigan.The main living space sits level with the treetops, and the west-facing balcony offers stunning, tree-framed sunsets each evening. The cabin itself blends a classic rustic charm with modern, creative touches—especially in the recreation room. The “cabin within a cabin” concept is a brilliant use of space, giving kids an authentic camp-like experience they absolutely loved.The indoor rock wall and swing set were a huge hit with our active group, and the swim spa was the perfect way to unwind after long days at the nearby Fedorov Hockey Academy and skiing at Nubs Nob.Jason’s communication was outstanding from start to finish. We’re already looking forward to coming back, hopefully in the summer or fall, to experience a different season. Many thanks to Birch and Bark for such a memorable stay!

Fantastic home for family get away

Every detail was thought of when the hosts planned for the guests staying in the home. Cozy, spacious living area and kitchen. Kitchen had all the necessary items to cook and bake even sharp knives😊. Incredibly comfortable sectional with additional pillows and blankets for lounging. Beds were fantastic and bedding was Ritz Carlton quality. The recreation room is a children’s indoor playground. We were all adults so enjoyed the hot tub and soaker tub. Good water pressure and I could go on and on. Jason was attentive and easy to communicate with. We will be back.

We had a great stay at this property! The house was clean, cozy, and very family-oriented. It was thoughtfully stocked with essentials that made traveling with kids easy and enjoyable. My children especially loved the garage play area and the hot tub pool — definitely highlights of the house! Check-in was smooth and easy. We did have a small issue with one of the air conditioners in the living area, but the owner responded quickly and had an HVAC professional out in no time. It was 93 and humid during our stay, so we were very grateful for the fast resolution.A couple of things to note for future guests: the bedroom with the bunk beds are located is more of a converted closet and does not have direct air conditioning. Thankfully, a fan was provided to help circulate the air, which was much appreciated during the heat. Also, the garage playroom — while fun and well-equipped — is not air-conditioned. On hot and humid days, it did get quite warm, which made it uncomfortable for one of our family members to sleep in the adjacent bedroom.Despite those minor issues, the property was a fantastic choice for our family, and we truly enjoyed our stay.

Short but sweet stay

We had a wonderful stay at Birch & Bark Retreat. It was just a quick, two-night stay. Jason, the host, was very attentive via text whenever we had questions. We had a blast playing pool, ping pong, arcade basketball, video games, watching movies in front of the fireplace, and relaxing in the hot tub! All of the instructions were super easy to follow and well laid out.

Our new favorite place up north

We booked a new cabin in the woods for 2026. We couldn’t have been happier!! The place is perfect! Clean, cozy, beautiful decor, hot tub is over the top nice! Close enough to town for dining and shopping. Kids loved the basement play area. Wi-fi worked well. I could go on and on……highly recommend!

A Great Retreat

We had an amazing stay at the Birch & Bark Retreat. It was the perfect place to relax and cozy up on the couch, but still close to Petoskey for a little day trip. All the amenities are great, it's a great place to have fun with 2 people or the whole family.

Tremendous spot to have a getaway. We had 2 little kids that were in love with the place right away, and 6 adults that immediatelyfelt right ar home. The hot tub was a huge hit and very well maintained, the property is beautiful and serene, the whole "gym" area kept the kids entertained from sun up to sundown. I cannot say enough good things about this place and the host. Jason was a tremendous host, and a great communicator. Would 10/10 come here again
