About this property
Beaver Island - Cable Bay Cottage
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.

I live in Grand Rapids, MI
Why they chose this property
This property was purchased by my grandparents in 1969. The photo shows my grandma and me near the beach in front of the cottage. My family came to the island every summer when I was growing up. It was the week we most looked forward to each year! I would love to see others share in experience this with family and friends!
