Birch Breeze Bungalow at Indian Lake (#9) is the third property at our Indian Lake destination. This quaint log cabin with varnished log walls and ceiling is great for a small family getaway. Sleeping 2 adults + 3 kids in a studio-style cabin, the one big open space will suit all your needs. A fully-equipped kitchen, full bathroom, and living space with television (cable), and the screened-in porch is just what you need after an afternoon at the beach. The shared beach is footsteps from your door.

There are cottages within earshot, as this was once the Mountain Ash Resort, a historic spot for many years. The shoreline is slightly rocky for first 1 foot of entrance, so it isn't easy (though not impossible) to hop into the water directly in front of the cabin. The lake itself is a sandy bottom lake, but the lining of limestone rocks can be tricky to navigate for small swimmers. Due to the rocks, swim shoes are suggested. In addition, Lake Michigan beaches are minutes away.

LOCAL ATTRACTIONS
Big Springs "Kich-iti-kipi": Michigan's largest freshwater spring. Two hundred feet across, and 40-feet deep. Over 10,000 gallons a minute gush from fissures in the underlying limestone at a constant 45 degree Fahrenheit. By means of a self-operated observation raft, visitors are guided to vantage points overlooking fascinating underwater features and fantasies. Ancient tree trunks, lime-encrusted branches and fat trout appear suspended in nothingness as they slip through crystal waters far below. Clouds of sand kept in constant motion by gushing waters create ever-changing shapes and forms, a challenge to the imagination of young and old alike.

Indian Lake Golf Course: A very popular, 18 hole golf course along Indian Lake. Just 5 miles from the Cabin.

The Kewadin Casino: It is approximately 10 minutes (7 miles) from the Lodge.

Flatiron Brewery: Located at Traders Point along the scenic Lake Michigan waterfront, Flatiron Brewery occupies a newly renovated warehouse and recreation center. Fresh Detroit style pizza, pasta and wings are made fresh daily from scratch and taps are always rotating with new and old favorites!

Historic Manistique Water Tower : The Old Water Tower is one of the many historic sites in Schoolcraft County. Built in 1923 and constructed in the “Roman revival” style, it is also listed in the national register. The renovated building will provide space for arts related public events and public rest room facilities while preserving one of Manistique's unique and historic buildings.

Fayette State Park & Historic Townsite: Fayette was once one of the Upper Peninsula's most productive iron-smelting operations. Located on the Garden Peninsula at Snail Shell Harbor. When the charcoal iron market began to decline, the Jackson Iron Company closed its Fayette smelting operation in 1891. It is now a completely restored village including 22 historic buildings, museum exhibits and the visitor center, which can be toured May through October. The historic site is located in Fayette State Park.

*Mackinac Bridge- approximately 1 hour away.
*Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore- approximately 1 hour away.
*Tahquamenon Falls State Park- approximately 2 hours away.

Parking: There is enough room for 2 cars at the property.

Pets: I'm sorry, yet due to safety concerns, we will no longer be able to welcome pets of guests to any of the cabins at the Mountain Ash Association. The only way to have a pet with the Mountain Ash Association is to purchase a cottage. Owners are allowed to have pets, yet guests are not. My apologies for this inconsistency, yet it is a part of the association by-laws.

Play area: There is a small children's play area with plenty of room for outdoor children's games across from the community grilling area.

Privacy: There are cabins right next door.

Seniors: Come one, come all! This space is great for those over 60. Sometimes when renting a home, you are never too sure about the terrain: is the home on top of a hill, is parking on a steep slope, are there 100 steps to the beach or the unit, etc. This home gets the FVR approval for the young at heart!

Shopping: The charming downtown Manistique offers cute/artsy shops, as well as a couple wineries and yummy restaurants/bars close by.

Space: Studio space/ open concept

Televisions: 1 TV with cable

Towels: Yes, we provide towels. It's always good to bring extra though.

My family and I stayed at Birch Breeze over the weekend. Some of the pros of this cabin would be location, cleanliness, value, and comfort. I am very picky about cleanliness and this cabin, especially the bathroom was very clean. We were not able to enjoy the actual location of the cabin because we were constantly on the go visiting sites, like kitch iti kipi, which is only like 10 minutes away! so we truly just used it to sleep. The beds were comfortable. I would say it’s a little small for 5 people but it’s manageable, especially for the price. The only cons, which aren’t even cons, would be that it is quite small, there were a lot of chairs which took up potential space, and we arrived late at night the first night and it was very difficult to find the cabin because there were no lights anywhere. Not sure if I missed a map layout of the location but a map of the cabins would have been helpful prior to arriving. Would definitely stay again though! Thanks!

A great place to stay
We had a near-perfect week on Indian lake. Very good location to see the best spots in the UP. Perfect weather. Very quiet in September. Well equipped kitchen. Nice remodel on the bathroom. Well supplied with necessities and well labelled. The screened-in porch was nice, even though not necessary in Sept- virtually no bugs.

Great spot for a summer "get away" from the city. The cabin is equipped with everything you need and located on a nice lake where you can swim, float, kayak and enjoy beautiful sunsets. It's also not far from from popular tourist attractions. Highly recommend.

Just right for our family. GREAT: Loved how everything was labeled. Communication was A+. Beautiful sunset right in front of us! Lots of bedding. Not as great: Having slept on the bottom bunk, I do recommend you respect the top bunk weight limit! Turn by turn directions in email take you to cottage 3, if you have a copilot directing you, make sure you end up at correct cottage. As you can see, we had nothing really to complain about!
