If you're looking to get away from it all, this is the place for you! Offering a private, sandy beach on one of the island's most beautiful bays, this is the perfect spot to unwind and relax with family and friends. Enjoy scenic lakefront views from the dining room, living room, deck or by taking a stroll down the beautiful shoreline.

Sleeps 6 featuring:
• 2 bedrooms (queen-size bed in each)
• 2 sleeper-sofas

Also includes:
• Fully-stocked kitchen
• Dining and living rooms
• 1 ½ bathrooms
• Enclosed porch and outdoor deck
• See the amenities section for more!

The cottage is located about 12 miles from boat dock and airport, so you will need to bring a vehicle* across on the ferry or rent one in town.

*NOTE: Reservations for automobile transport on the ferry should be made a couple months in advance, if possible. Please go to the boat company website for rates and schedules by searching under Beaver Island Boat Company.

There are several restaurants, shops, a library, toy store/museum, community center, deli and fully-stocked grocery store in town.

The island has several hiking trails and inland lakes including Lake Geneserath, which is just across the road from the cottage. There are two lighthouses on the island and several opportunities for exploring. There is also a golf course just outside of town.

There are many websites with additional information about the island that you may find useful. Just search for Beaver Island!

Please note: there is no Wi-Fi or internet at the cottage, and usually no cell phone service. These are available in town but not at the cottage. See more information on this in the Amenities section.

Please also note: linens are not provided. Specifically.... sheets, pillow cases, towels and wash clothes are not provided. Pillows and comforters are provided; just not pillow cases and bed sheets. Some dish towels may be provided, but hand towels and bath towels are not. This is due to the fact that there is not ample time in between rentals for laundry.

    The wife and I enjoyed this property. It was a very clean and comfortable house for the two of us. It is decorated warmly and personally. It would be a great house for a family. The beach was beautiful just down the path from the house. We will be back. Thanks to the host. Edward Sierota

    Great lake house in a stellar location. House isn't fancy, but has everything you need. Very comfortable. One of the best beaches on the island. Owners are always responsive. This was our third time renting, and we'll be back for sure.

    a big thank you for a lovely, lovely stay. Everything was just right, including a nighttime thunderstorm, watching the Chicago Mackinac race go by, eagles, loons and mergansers fishing in the bay, exploring the southern part of the island by bike We also enjoyed deciphering animal tracks in the sand each morning.

    This is the 2nd year our family has rented this perfectly lovely cottage on Beaver Island. The property is so beautiful on Lake Michigan! We love the nature, the scenery, the peace and quiet. Craig answered my emails right away and we just can’t wait to come again! Truly a treasured place!

    I was very happy with the property. Having kayaks available - we used them everyday. We had bonfires every night and we were very happy with the space and the island in general.

    It is a lovely house on a relatively secluded part of the island. This is a great place if you're looking to disconnect.
