Perfect downtown location

The spot is located right next to downtown. It’s absolutely perfect for a small family or two couples. You can walk to town - that’s how close it is to everything.

Our stay was lovely

Thank you for another wonderful stay-- so close to town, but when we heard that the Perseid meteor shower was visible, we laid on the deck by the front door and did some sky watching. We could see the milky way! The property is quiet and comfortable.

Great Stay

The location was amazing, nice big deck, fully furnished so we didn’t need to bring bedding, towels, kitchen wares. Only suggestion is fixing the electric, couple outlets in the kitchen, wasn’t able to use the microwave. Also no stove so maybe having a small grill would be a great addition. We loved our stay and have already scheduled our next year’s stay!

All electric works. The GFI popped and just needed to be pushed. We have a hot plate and convection oven as listed on VRBO. We did not know you wanted a bbq or we could have provided one We try really hard to ensure a 5 star rating. Please let us know when there is a question or problem

Good Times on BI

The layout of the house, bedroom and shower is a little odd, but had plenty of room and enjoyed our stay. We were usually out adventuring around the island all day. The location is very convenient to town and more importantly....Daddy Frank's Ice Cream Shop!

Hi Kelly. Thank you for your visit. The reason It has a separate shower is because the whole space is wheelchair/handicap accessible. Hope to see you again soon. Best regards Lois 😊

My family has been on Beaver Island for 6 generation. We have a strong, proud heritage since about 1856. I am an Artist, teacher and retired RN. My husband is a retired High School Administrator. We own the rental, a home and an Art Gallery on the island.

Why they chose this property

Beaver Island is a little slice of Paradise. It is home to many warm, good hearted and friendly people. The property is locate in town, but tucked away off the main street. Within walking distance from the harbor, dining, ice cream and the beach. Hopefully you will carry home a piece of the island in your heart.
