This was a great place to stay! Very comfortable and clean. Loved the location close to town and to all our favorite walking places. Looking forward to staying there again.
Excellent location! Very clean! Wonderful host! Plenty of space! All the things you need for a great stay on the island. And a lovely deck with picnic table...and all the trees.
This was our third time staying here. We love the location and having a comfortable living space to spread out, cook our meals, sit outside and relax!
Thank you!
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.
Great for the two of us! Lois’s place is clean, comfortable and a convenient walk to town. This was our second stay with Lois and I’m sure we’ll be back!
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
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.
The rental unit was just as described and shown. Was spacious, clean and had everything we needed. The location is great. Walking distance to town. We had a great time and would love to come back again.

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 😊

Lovely space for our family of four, very clean and well stocked! We walked to the beach and downtown and the ferry. We rented e-bikes for longer distance exploration. We would definitely return!
The property was in a great, quiet location. It could use some repairs and updates, such as hooks for towels and brighter bathroom lighting. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would stay here again. We were lucky enough to meet our host host and is a very thoughtful and kind person.

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.
