Autumn Sky - The Modern & Relaxing Beach Cottage
Autumn Sky Cottage is a fun and secluded get-away sitting in the middle of Beaver Island's Big Sand Bay beach. The Caribbean blue water and soft sandy beach has 'relax' written all over it. The simple cottage layout provides ample opportunity for fun family time either inside or out. And the three private bedrooms give everyone the opportunity for some rest and relaxation. Enjoy miles of beach walks right off the deck, or wade out into the pristine waters of pure Lake Michigan to refresh your soul on a hot summer day.
To access Beaver Island, your journey starts at Charlevoix, MI, a picturesque Lake Michigan harbor town around 250 miles north of Detroit. Alternatively, you can fly into Pellston or Traverse City airports and then connect to Beaver Island Ferry or Island Airways in Charlevoix. Once there, opt for a swift 20-minute flight or a leisurely 2-hour ferry ride aboard the Emerald Isle. Whichever mode of transport you choose, an unforgettable adventure awaits!
For a comprehensive list of available transportation services to and from the island, including on-island options, visit: https://www.beaverisland.org/transportation/
***IMPORTANT: If you plan on bringing your car over, it's best to book in advance. Call ahead to ensure ferry availability before reserving your stay at our cabin.***
When you arrive on the island, you'll step into a world that feels like a journey back in time—where life moves slower, and the beauty is simply breathtaking! Consider a stop at the Whiskey Point Brewery for a delightful drink after your ferry ride, or take in the island's serene ambiance through the winding unpaved roads. Here, distances are marked by time, inviting you to embrace a slower pace and truly immerse yourself in the island's captivating allure!
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and a phone.

The Perfect Week
Had a really perfect week staying here in July. The location is great, lovely sandy beach and a nice shallow bay. My kids enjoyed the beach house and the second bedroom with bath. Very updated space, well-appointed kitchen, one of our favorite Beaver Island rentals!

We absolutely loved this house.
This home was perfect in every way. A very clever design and the best possible deck to enjoy the view of Lake Michigan. Just far enough from town to be peaceful, and not a long drive when you want to go out to dinner.
Our thanks to the owners for sharing!

Perfect space on Beaver Island
The property is outstanding, well designed, exceptionally attractive, and superbly equipped. The sunrise is outside your window. The setup of a master suite and covered walk to the guestroom bed and bath was perfect for two couples.
