Birch Lake Retreat | Hot Tub, Game Lounge & Private Deck | House in Kewadin
5 Bedroom House in Kewadin
Birch Lake Retreat is where Northern Michigan adventure meets peaceful Up North living. Tucked among the trees just minutes from Birch Lake, Torch Lake, and Elk Rapids, this spacious retreat was designed for gathering—offering room for everyone to spread out while still feeling connected.
Spend your days boating, golfing, exploring charming lake towns, or cheering at Flintfields Horse Park, then come home to slow evenings on the expansive deck, games in the garage lounge, bonfires beneath the trees, and relaxing soaks in the hot tub.
Recently refreshed with beautifully remodeled bathrooms, updated flooring, and upgraded gathering spaces, Birch Lake Retreat blends comfort, privacy, and the kind of relaxed atmosphere that makes guests want to return year after year.
Designed for Togetherness
The bright open layout makes it easy for groups to gather naturally throughout the home.
The fully equipped kitchen features newer appliances, a dedicated coffee bar with a Keurig, French press, and drip coffee maker, plus thoughtful touches for both adults and kids. The farmhouse dining table comfortably seats 8, while additional seating at the island and nearby dining spaces creates room for long dinners, morning coffee, and late-night conversations.
In the living room, settle into the oversized sectional for movie nights on the 65" Smart TV, challenge each other to board games, or unwind in the cozy swivel recliners after a day exploring Northern Michigan.

Outdoor Living Beneath the Trees
One of the most loved features of Birch Lake Retreat is the private outdoor living space.
Surrounded by mature trees, the oversized deck creates a peaceful setting for slow mornings, family dinners, and evenings spent outdoors. Sip coffee while the woods wake up around you, grill dinner after a day on the water, or settle into the swinging chair with a good book.
As the sun sets, gather around the private firepit for stories, s’mores, and quiet nights under the Northern Michigan sky.
The backyard offers privacy even with nearby homes and provides plenty of room for yard games and outdoor fun. Pets are welcome, too.
Lake Life Without the Crowds
Bring your boat, kayaks, or paddleboards—the Birch Lake public launch is just a short walk down the road, making it easy to spend full days on the water while still enjoying the privacy of a wooded retreat.
