It has a stunning view of Trout lake with a gorgeous front porch, private beach and boats for fishing. It felt like we went back in time.

With drives to Whitefish Point and Tahquamenon Falls only 30ish minutes away, it's a perfect home base to relax and explore the UP, or stay on the property and chill. We fell in love with this hotel and will be back again.

Love the decor in the room. Friendly staff. Gave a great suggestions for supper. ##### Shelley Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Donald Jun 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Highly recommend the Birch Lodge. Property is exactly as advertised in a quiet and peaceful location. Rooms were very clean as is the main lodge where they serve a continental breakfast including freshly baked muffins. We had a retro room with 2 comfortable beds and a picture window looking out on Trout Lake. A nice change from the more commercial hotels. ##### Donald Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brian Jul 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great accommodations you had a beach you had rowboats you could take out on the lake and very quiet property but if you want anything outside of the property the town doesn't have anything to do. If you want peace and quiet and solitude it's exactly what you want ##### Brian Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Danielle Jul 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We stayed in the motel portion of the property. It was remodeled to mid century style. Very cool! A bit musty smelling with age, but otherwise comfy. The view was lovely on trout lake and it was a great location to stay when heading to Tahquamenon falls after a few days on Mackinaw island. We loved the light breakfast provided too. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3b0cd7fd-df29-4b2c-b931-c50638d8de07-1753585367710.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/864adc72-3f71-452d-a3dc-b19da88bb96a-1753585365265.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e8049eb0-e9f3-4e81-96b9-5c18f9fde537-1753585360636.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Danielle Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Sep 17, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort We had a wonderful stay.

Very considerate based on the dining options around here being limited after 7pm. The place is amazing. Rooms are incredible. We took the row boat and kayak out on the lake and then made a fire in the pit. Jim brought out some premade s’mores packs with sticks. Just an amazing and outstanding place. Would highly recommend staying here. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b93e22fa-f416-4635-b2e7-db99b8c9c198-1751464372442.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/333481ac-c497-4d21-968a-b6c391795b0e-1751464368577.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/df2614c1-4ce5-4c39-b2ae-30feae28d6a0-1751464360747.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/86d08707-f106-4612-ac47-b1a709ee51ff-1751464370452.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Bob Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [St. Clair Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Port-Huron-Hotels-The-St-Clair-Inn.h36685.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Sault Ste.
