After closing last summer following a fire, the Birch Lodge is finally back (soon)!

On Friday, Birch Lodge posted to Facebook that they will be re-opening the week of May 1st.

The fire happened early in the morning, July 8, 2017. Due to a quick response from the GRFD and GRPD, the building was not a total loss... but, the kitchen and storage areas were heavily damaged. Luckily, no one was injured.

The Birch Lodge is actually the place where I went on my first date with my husband, so it's got a special place in our hearts! We'll definitely hit it up when it re-opens.

Welcome back, Birch!
