Doyle Camp at Birch Ridge in Beulah

We are now accepting reservations for Fall 2009 Rentals. The
calendar above is current. Please contact us if you see some dates
that may work for you!
This is an old log cabin that was built in the 1930's and has much
of the original furnishings and charm. It is located on Long Lake
which is located between Crystal Lake and Big Platte Lake on the
Scenic Highway Drive (M-22). The property is on 5 wooded acres,
well off the road. It has over 500 feet of private frontage.
The lake is an all-sport lake with a very gradual sloping bottom
which makes it very safe for swimmers of all ages. The water warms
up quickly in the spring and is very comfortable for swimming or
wading. It is ideal for young children that like to play safely on
a warm sunny beach.
It is adjacent to the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore Park
and is easy walking distance to the Old Indian Trail, which
traverses the National Park dunescape to Lake Michigan.

Not many amenities. In fact we do not supply a TV or a DVD player
or Internet Access. If that is what you are looking for, this is
not your place. However if you want peace and quiet with
comfortable sleeping for 14 in a rustic Old Log Cabin in the woods
on a beautiful lake with dark starry skies you might want to check
this out.
Functional kitchen with typical appliances including electric stove,
modern refrigerator, toaster, coffee maker, Weber Grill, plenty of
pots and pans and dishes.
Lakefront Amenities include the following:
50' dock, however water is shallow at end of dock, about 2' - 3'

guests refrain from bringing them on the lake.
