An amazing stay!

What a wonderful week on Beaver Island! 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. Many thanks to the hosts, as this was exactly the getaway our family needed.

This home exceeded our expectations! The interior was spotless and included everything that we needed for our stay. The exterior was well maintained with breathtaking lake views. We found the hosts to be accommodating with our special needs and requests. My family will tell you that I am hard to please, but these hosts didn't miss a beat. Don't miss the opportunity to stay in the home, we are already looking forward to booking again in the future!

Wonderful house and hosts

We loved our stay at Jon and Carolyn’s home on Beaver Island! It was spacious, tastefully decorated with an artist’s eye for soothing colors and detail (Carolyn is an artist), clean, comfortable and well-equipped with pretty much everything we needed for a relaxing visit and cooking wonderful family meals, as we love doing. 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!

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.

Awesome Fall stay!

We all really enjoyed the house! Plenty of space for our family to spread out. We all could easily come together for food and games. Enjoyed fires outside and walking on the beach. Kids enjoyed sightseeing “the big rock”. They also played with some toys at the house and picked out books to read. We loved the sunsets at the house each night too!

Our new favorite spot!

This home truly deserves more then a 5 star rating! It is so clean, newly remodeled and has everything you could think of for your stay! Very generous amounts of dish soap, dish detergent, paper towel, toilet papers and laundry pods! The kitchen has everything you need from every size baking bowl, all the pans and baking sheets and everything was extremely nice! I love finding great VRBO’s to stay in when traveling and this was everyone’s favorite so far! The home is BEAUTIFUL, extremely clean and large with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating! Truly the dream place to stay for vacation! Some of our favorite things were the 5 kayaks, the fire pit, the bunk room was a hit for the kiddos, the amazing sunsets, we love that it was secluded with no neighbors and felt spoiled how nice the home was! We’re on the boat headed home and missing it already!!! Thank you so much for the amazing stay!!!

We had a great time at this amazing property. The setting , on Lake Michigan, was incredibly beautiful. The accommodations fit our group very well, with big gathering places, a beautiful porch and many outdoor and indoor diversions. We did not need anything from our hosts( everything we needed/wanted was there😊), but they were very attentive in communications.

The house was lovely! It cannot be overrated how beautiful the sunsets were. And the stars at night! We enjoyed the kayaks. The listing states life vests for two adults, but they had life vests in every size imaginable. We didn’t need to bring our own toys along - there were plenty of toys and kids’ books available!

Family Vacation 2023

We loved this property. 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.

Great family getaway spot

Very nice home that was perfect for a multi generational family get together. Very peaceful location with a large deck to view the awesome Lake Michigan sunsets. The kitchen was fantastic and stocked with all the cookware and utensils you would ever need. The island itself is such a laid back unique place and it was great to be back on it once again. We are home now for several days and I still find myself unconsciously giving the Beaver Island wave to passing drivers. Thanks again Jon and Carolyn for sharing your property!

Fantastic lakeside home away from home!

What a delightful week!! 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!
