Funny. I remember when my grandmother sold the Twin Birch Resort to Ron Brown. Technically the resort was established in 1947, with cottages on both Big & Little Platte Lakes. The property was purchased by the Brown family in the middle 1990's. Until then, the Twin Birch Resort was owned and operated by Grace & John Lovendusky. It sure would be nice if this information was part of the Twin Birch Resort history. I know damn well that the logs that make up the Kodiak (my grandparents home) were fell and skinned long before Ron Brown stayed a single night at the resort.

I have stayed at twin Birch resorts twice over the past year. The boats have motors that you can rent, the kayaks are so fun, the fish cleaning station is practical and easy to work with. The new sun deck at the end of the pier is a great addition to the property.
The cabins are clean with great taste in furnishings. All the amenities that you need are available to you. Sleeping bear sand dunes is only a few minutes from the resort. What I loved most, though was the scenic lake views, fishing on the lake, and it felt like an upscale, fishing resort great for families, couples, or fishing buddies going out for the week. The Michigan beaches are close by. And the shopping is fabulous. From wineries close to resort. To the cherry hut. To the lakeside boutiques all within a 30 min drive from resort. I would recommend this precious piece of land and water to anyone who loves nature beautiful scenery quiet and peacefulness and definetly fishing! Enjoy!

I highly recommend staying at Twin Birch. We were there in August and it is a perfect location to see everything in the area. We stayed in the Log Cabin with Wooded View. It is a good size for a group of 3 or 4, well-equipped with everything you need, thoughtfully decorated, and very clean. Little Platte Lake is beautiful and Diane is a great host. Thank you for a great vacation!

We stayed in the Green Cottage for a week in July. It was wonderful. The cottage is small, but the pictures are very accurate. And, it is ok that the cottage is small because you want to spend all of your time outside or on the screened in porch. The lake view is beautiful. The boat was perfect for fishing. But, I must say, our favorite part was the porch. We ate our meals out there, we played games out there, we watched a storm out there. It was perfect. Diane was wonderful and helpful. She was attentive, but did not bother us. She always made sure we had everything we needed.
The cabin was very clean and had everything needed in the kitchen to make meals at the cabin. We loved our stay and will be back in the future. Thanks Diane for the great stay. We loved the area and the property!

What a great visit! Diane’s pine cabin is a great place to spend the a few days to unwind and relax. We loved it, and cannot wait to return. We really felt welcomed. Now that we know of some of the area beaches, we are going to do our best and get back up. We promise not to tell our friends of some of the secret spots we discovered, so that they continue to be hidden gems. Thank again!

This was our first visit to Twin Birch and northern Michigan. It was a fantastic trip, and so much to do in the area. Sleeping Bear Dunes is a great place to walk and explore. Traverse City is a great town with fantastic restaurants, then there is the Cherry Hut and Cherry Republic. You need a week to see it all, and the Twin Birch Resort is the place to stay. Diane makes you feel so welcome and part of the family. Little Platte Lake offers beautiful sunsets and great place to boat and fish. Highly recommended!

Our entire family rented all four cabins for an entire week (wished there was one more for the extra group) and we stayed in the Log Cabin, where we had a unusually spacious bedroom in the back with wonderful lighting, a queen bed, walk-in closet, extra seating and a desk. The other bedroom was spacious with a full bed, furniture, and open closet for luggage. Good sized living room with kitchen table and roomy kitchen with dishwasher, microwave, electric stove, and full-sized refrigerator. Diane, the owner, was so helpful with any questions or concerns that occurred. We were very happy with the location since it was so close to Sleeping Bear Dunes, Traverse City, grocery stores, Dollar stores, and the beaches. Wonderful memories for us all to experience.

Wow, what an amazing vacation we just experienced at Twin Birch Resort! Pictures don't do this place justice. The rustic cottages are very clean and cozy and the Little Platte Lake is not only beautiful but full of big fish. The sites within driving distance were also breathtaking. Thank you Diane for sharing this piece of paradise with us! Already looking forward to our next visit.
