We were first-time visitors to the island and were not sure what to expect, and we loved our time. The house was perfect...very clean and enough space to host a large family gathering. We had ages from 2-70, and everyone was comfortable. We spent so much time on the deck looking out over the water. There is endless room to explore around the property. The kayaks were an amazing addition to take out to explore & swim. The town was charming and had everything you needed.

The location couldn’t have been more idyllic. The home is located on the secluded Mrs. Redding’s Trail, right on Lake Michigan. The windows offer a magical view of sand and rock formations on the water, with sea gulls, eagles, deer, swans, woodpeckers and other wildlife delighting us every day! We appreciated taking lovely walks right outside the door, with the road opening to beautiful nature trails and historic sights where we could enjoy the magnificent autumn colors. We would recommend this home to anyone and hope to return next year! ##### michele b. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ted H.

If you are looking for isolation and natural beauty, look no further. Our family just wanted to hang together for a week with no specific agenda. Beaver Island and this property fit this need perfectly. We spent days at the beach, both on kayaks and in the sand. We built fires at night right on the beach. During our trips to the town, we always found some water activity to keep us entertained. Weather was perfect and days were long. ##### Mark R.

Our family of multiple generations all had a great time. The weather was perfect!! The property is well cared for and the house was very clean and tidy. We really appreciated having a full compliment of dishes, pots and pans and supplies like plastic wrap, foil, etc. We do wish we had known there is a Pelaton in the workout room and had brought shoes for it. Somehow we managed to find other activities though 😊. Jon and Carolyn responded quickly with the couple of questions we had. They are helpful and kind people that clearly love their property and want ther guests to feel the same. We felt comfortable and relaxed. Thank you Jon and Carolyn! Definitely a place we'd return to! ##### Alison C. Stayed 7 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Debbie N. Jul 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful bluff house on Lake Michigan with private beach. The house is 3 stories tall with laundry in a seperate room off the massive kitchen. The lower level has 2 bedrooms, one with a bunk bed (quite small) and the other is large with an adjacent well stocked weight room. Note: there are no closets on this floor. There is one bathroom with no shower or bath. There's foos ball table The middle level has a nice bedroom with 2 twins, desk, book shelf stocked with adult and childrens books. The kitchen is on this floor and it's huge with a beautiful island. Countertops are white quartz and beautiful. All appliances are either in the kitchen or in the adjacent laundry room. The refrigerator doors are challenging to close. All appliances are top notch and so are pots, pans, muffin tins etc. This floor also has a nice sized 'family room' with NO tv!! Yea. The upstairs floor has the master bedroom and gigantic clothes closet plus another large bedroom with a Q bed and two twins. Facing West, or the rear of the house, is Lake Michigan and sunset views. Just a short flight down stairs (no railing or lights) to the private beach which is lovely. Kayaks are on the beach, plenty of life preservers are available along with watershoes and beach towels. The house is pretty remote, 20 min. drive to town. Garbage must be brought to the transfer station, check their hours! Chaise lounges would be a great addition, screened in porch also. ##### Debbie N. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jan Z.
