We had a very enjoyable stay at this VRBO. The house was very clean and in a good location. The only possible issue could be the lack of air but it was cool for our stay so we didn’t have any issues and each room did have a nice fan provided!

Great Family Getaway
We stayed at White Birch for a week for a family getaway. The property was clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well appointed and the towels and linens provided were clean and nice. The property is located in a quiet neighborhood at the end of the street, so it feels quite private and peaceful. Beautiful views from the back patio. We enjoyed the fire pit and the kids enjoyed the ping pong and foosball tables in the garage, as well as the bikes (after we put air in the tires). I would recommend staying here for a peaceful getaway.

Clean & Adorable
Adorable house that has been newly updated. The place was immaculately cleaned and felt like home. The owners also let us bring our dogs which we truly appreciated and they loved chasing their ball in the huge private front yard. Super close to the town of Frankfurt which is on the lake with cute shops and restaurants. Wonderful place to stay and enjoy the area in!

We really enjoyed the updated space. The ping pong and foose ball tables were a hit with our grandchildren. Quiet neighborhood. The gift bowl of goodies was a welcomed treat after a long travel day. It was a very comfortable stay and would definately return.

pre-holiday get-away
The location is perfect for hiking, kayaking, biking and just being outdoors. The house itself is comfortable, roomy and accommodated 4 adults and one dog quite comfortably. The view from the patio is striking, overlooking the Betsie and lots of wildlife especially in the spring with many birds nesting including trumpeter swans. Really nice. It was our 4th time staying here and we hope to return in the fall. It is very nice indeed!

Elberta White Birch December 2023
Home is recently updated and nice. Dining Room had a very nice table, though there could have been better chairs. Kitchen seemed to be adequately stocked with plates, glasses, and utensils. Beds are very firm. There were many summer toys in the garage including several bikes. Furnace was a bit loud. Checkin could have been smoother, as the instructions were to contact the property manager and that she would meet us at the house. Instead, she just gave us the lock code, which could have been done in the app.

Comfortable Ranch
This remodeled ranch was the perfect stay for our work crew. Some owners shy away from businesses looking to house their crew but we were warmly welcomed. This is the second property our crew has rented from Agape properties (the first was in Kalkaska) both properties were managed well and lovely homes.

White Birch
This is our 3rd stay at White Birch so we obviously like the place! The house is great. Roomy, well appointed and space to spread out and relax. The location is perfect also if you like to hike as it's located near quite a few trails both south and north on M22. Easy drives to Grand Traverse Bay, Traverse City and to Manistee. We are planning a return trip in the spring. Very enjoyable!
