Comfortable beds, warm showers and a wonderful host - this house has it all :). We enjoyed our stay. The property is nicely located. The layout was perfect for our family of four. We made most of our meals in the well appointed kitchen. There are several cafes just a block or two from the house. Sarah answered all of our questions. Thank you!

The home was absolutely beautiful. We all agreed it was even nicer in person than the photos show! VERY short walking distance to the beach, downtown area, food. The fire pit and wood were perfect, kids played Frisbee while we relaxed around the fire in the evening. Will definitely be back if we are in the area again!

Birdsong Cottage is a classic Craftsman cottage that was very comfy for our family vacation of 4 adults and 3 children. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking equipment and dishes. The bathrooms are clean and look brand new. We had fun at the Crystal Lake beach and also found Beulah a great base location for exploring the Lake Michigan coastline.

Great stay

The cottage is immaculately clean. The beds are very comfortable and bathrooms seem newly remodeled. The location is perfect for walking into town. The outside area is nice and quiet - we even had a family of deer entertain us while sitting outside. Overall, a great deal. Thanks to the host!

Wonderful stay up north

We had 7 people total in our party and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location was perfect for us because we rafted down the Platte River. The cottage was only a 15 minute drive from our start point. The host was quick to respond to messages and the kitchen was stocked with plenty of utensils and tools to grill out one afternoon. Would recommend!

Great location’

This was a cute cottage with an excellent location. We could walk into town, where we could shop and dine. We were also within walking distance of the beach. Beulah also allowed us to make short day trips to other towns in the region such as Empire, Glen Arbor, Traverse City, and more. The cottage was full of little amenities that were greatly appreciated. I would definitely recommend this cottage for future stays.

This was an idyllic cottage for our annual visit to the area, balancing a historic vibe with modern amenities. Every detail seemed carefully planned and there were so many little touches that you can tell how much the owners care about your experience. The location was amazing, directly up the hill above the main strip of Beulah. We walked down to Ursa Major for our coffee every morning, and there is a public beach on Crystal Lake right nearby as well. Special callout to the firepit complete with all the wood you need for a bonfire. We sincerely appreciate the owners for their exceptional communication and will look to come back next year!

Amazing stay!

We had such a great time at Birdsong Cottage! The owners really went above and beyond, they thought of everything when furnishing this place! Pens and notepads exactly where I needed them, small baskets for laundry, plenty of soap and toilet paper, even a night light in the kids' room! My kids loved discovering the board games, toys, and books, and my husband and I appreciated the fully stocked kitchen. The couch and beds were comfy, and the outdoor space is incredible! The location is perfect for a quick walk to downtown Beulah, and just a few minutes drive from lots of stores, restaurants, and other adventures. We enjoyed it so much, hope to be back next year!

Friends and Family Summer Vacay

This was the perfect place for a nice, relaxing summer vacation. Great location with the cute town of Beulah just a quick walk down the hill to enjoy restaurants, shops, and a great brewery. There is also a public access beach just down the hill and we enjoyed walking along Crystal Lake each morning on the Betsie Valley Trail. Frankfort and Traverse City are quick drives and we ventured up to Fishtown and toured the Leelanau Peninsula one day. St. Ambrose is also a fun family spot with Bear, meads, wines, as well as cornhole, bocce ball and even a garden with some beehives to view. They had music the night we went…loved the staff and relaxed atmosphere. We also had fun at the mini golf place just up the road! We would highly recommend the Birdhouse Cottage…Sarah really has thought of everything. So cute! Air conditioner is only upstairs; however, it was not a problem when we were there, fans kept it comfortable throughout the house. We would definitely stay again!
