Checking in was quick and easy. The lobby was very welcoming and the person who checked us in explained the necessary information well. Room was large and clean. The outdoor pool was great. Our only issue was the room air conditioner which was loud. Other than that it was a great place to spend a couple of nights.

The Birchwood Lodge was a nice choice for staying in sister Bay Wisconsin. We enjoyed the spacious room our room overlooked the pool on the second floor and there is also plenty of other amenities available on property. We would stay here again.

My experience was good overall but the pool and fitness room are definitely locked up from 9pm to 9am which wasn't really cool for me as I'm up around 5am and wanted to get a swim or work out in. :/ There is 1 key for the fitness room so you have to go to the front desk to get it and if someone else is in there I guess you knock to be let in. It would be better to keep pool towels by the pool instead of having to walk to the front desk to get them.

We loved our stay. The room was perfect! Second-floor rooms are all ground level because they are built into a hillside. We were able to walk out the patio door to the parking lot area, and to the left was the fantastic pool area. We were able to take a short walk to the downtown area. Also, just across the parking lot, a short walk to the grocery store. We will send our family and friends here.

Wonderful place. It was close enough to the main road to walk and enjoy the beach front, but just enough away from the busy street to be calm and quiet. The room was clean and very comfortable. The pool and hot tub were very enjoyable and clean. And it really is a smoke free place - which my asthmatic mate appreciated.

We stayed here three nights and everything was perfect. The check-in was great and the employees were all very friendly and helpful. The room was very clean, comfortable, and stocked with the basics. Nice large bathroom and walk-in shower. The bed was comfortable and it was quiet each night. There were lots of amenities that we never even used but it was nice for others. Pools, grills, arcade, vending machines, and more. We walked to dinner each night and there were lots of options within a 5 minute walk. We’d definitely stay here again.

First of all the hallway outside our room smelled of a dead mouse or rodent, i know the smell and thats what it smelled like. Then our room smelled of foot odor. Our room was very outdated, but we knew this when we booked. The ice machine was out of order the first night. The 2nd night the pop machine was out of pepsi. The tv is up too high for viewing and was only a 32 inch. Definately would not stay there again. I would give it 2 out of 5 stars, only because it had a whirlpool tub and decent AC.

We were late making a reservation so had to take the Honeymoon Suite, but we had 3 adults, which meant someone had to sleep on the sofa bed. An Iron Maiden would have been as comfortable. It should not be offered as an option unless the 3rd person is 5 or under. Otherwise it was okay. Very clean, and hardworking staff.
