About this property

Lake Shore Stay- on the shore of Lake Michigan, Beaver Island, MI

The most common remark on entering the 1,000 sq foot apartment is WOW! Or Stunning! Located on beautiful Lake Michigan on Beaver Island. Gorgeous guest apartment with cherry wood flooring, high ceilings, Smart TV, pool table, fully-equipped kitchen, charcoal BBQ grill (charcoal supplied), and washer. and dryer. We now have StarLink for HIGH SPEED Internet, which is uncommon on Beaver Island. Adirondack chairs, swing and fire pit on the shore. Absolutely breathtaking view of Lake Michigan and Garden Island. World class dark skies allow for amazing star gazing. Perfect spot to view Northern Lights. Two miles from town and close to sandy beaches.
One bedroom with a Queen size bed is ideal for two guests. The queen bedroom has room darkening shades for a good night’s rest.
The guest house is completely separate from the owners’ quarters. There are no shared walls. A very large garage separates the two homes. When you are enjoying the waterfront, you will have it to yourselves.
Loons fly over the property frequently and their calls are magical. If you’re lucky, you might hear coyotes howling, but that is infrequent. You can bring or rent kayaks as well as stand up paddleboards. We do not have watercraft for your use. If you bring bicycles or kayaks, you can store them in the garage.
There is no smoking permitted inside. We take pride in our thorough cleaning and attention to detail. For example, we wash the blankets and quilts not just the sheets! Please book your stay!

Anniversary Getaway
Rental was very nice and clean. Check in and mapping was great as well as communication with owner prior arrival. Upon arrival, we found that the AC is not specific to the rental, but part of the main home. Unit was muggy and airflow not the same as in the home upstairs where there is a cross breeze, it should be unit controlled. There are notes in the binder that wood at the beach is not for renter use, and you have to contact host for where to get wood if a fire at beach is desired. We took our car to the island thinking it would easily access all roads, after day one, we realized this was not the case and opted to rent a UTV for taking around the island. We were immediately contacted by the host that they were not approving of this and continued to message us about rules and regulations and how islanders don't support use of such vehicles, though we saw them everywhere. They had information about rules of the island within the binder at the property, and if the host is not agreeable to the use of UTVs should probably post it on their page.Had I brought one over to the island, i would have been forced to park down by the road and off of the property. The island is beautiful and there are many trails to walk, but access is not easy to get to access by car at times. . has.

Squeaky clean, wonderfully helpful and responsive hosts. We felt right at home in the apartment. Nice little touches throughout. The location, on the water, the dark skies allowed for the best viewing of the milky way i think we've ever seen! Close to best beach for sunsets

Perfect weekend getaway
Cozy, comfortable, and impeccably clean – Trish and Steve's place is the perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Knowing that logistics of getting to and staying on an island might pose extra challenges, our hostess reached out well before our stay to help us navigate meals, travel, and places to explore. She was incredibly responsive to messages before and during our stay as well. The kitchen is stocked with ample plates, cutlery, cookware and even all necessary spices. We were able to make multiple meals…including grilling out while sitting on the brand-new picnic table overlooking the lake! Speaking of the lake, the views are spectacular, and the swing, bench, and chairs offer a variety of places to relax. Thanks to Trish, we knew to wake up in the middle of the night and walk down to the property beachfront to checkout the most amazing Northern Lights display we've ever seen. We would not hesitate to book Trish and Steve's place again – it was truly an amazing and memorable getaway!

Excellent place to stay!
Probably the nicest & cleanest one bedroom Villa on the island!!! Everything is new and spotless. We brought back-up pans, cups, spices, but they never left our car. They had everything!!! We were able to leave our kayaks down by the waters edge all week and took several trips out into Lake Michigan. Their shore is rocky, so bring water shoes, but bay to the east is sandy and gorgeous. We also had two bonfires down by the water. We highly recommend staying there.

Anniversary Stay
We went to Beaver Island to explore and celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. We were welcomed to the property with champagne and a homemade welcome poster. The apartment was large, clean, modern, and perfect for a three-night stay. We were able to cook and eat in. Trisha and her family were unobtrusive hosts, yet attentive and informational. The lake setting is amazing, and the apartment is minutes from town and sandy beaches. This property is a fabulous option if you are looking for an overnight stay on the island.

What a lovely place to stay. My husband and I didn’t want to leave. The apartment was very clean and well appointed. The views from the beach were outstanding and we can’t speak highly enough of our hosts. We so appreciated their hospitality. It was more like staying at a friend's house than a VRBO.

Amazing stay!
My fiancée and I went to Beaver Island earlier this month. The place was awesome, the pool table was great while we made dinner! It is so open and roomy, I would definitely recommend. When I posted on the Beaver Island dark sky page on where the best place to look at stars. They informed us that they would turn off their landscaping lights at night so we could just stay on the property. Definitely will be staying there again!

This was the perfect apartment for two! Trish and Steve are lovely and friendly and they thought of EVERYTHING. You only need to bring yourselves and your clothes, the apartment is very well equipped, clean and nicely decorated. Convenient location to town, Font Lake and Donegal Bay. Highly recommend the host and the apartment.

A northern woods retreat
This vacation rental was spacious & cozy at the same time. It had a large closet in the bedroom & lots of shelves & hooks in the bathroom- not common in vacation rentals. The best part was the beautiful setting with trees, lawn & beach across the lane that was very well maintained. Trish & Steve were great hosts- available to answer questions & share info. We especially appreciated having a place to put our kayak out of the quick rainstorm that passed through one night.

Lovely Retreat!
This place was wonderful: cozy, clean, new features, amenities (a bottle of wine, a nice selection of spices, fluffy towels, towel warmer, washer & dryer, and the list goes on!), and peaceful. It was the right kind of quiet with Lake Michigan lulling us to sleep and the right kind of isolated to truly retreat from the world but close enough to town (2 miles) when we wanted to return! Plus, the Scotts are caring and considerate. We highly recommend it!

Beautiful Sunrise on Lakeshore Stay!
Clean, inviting, well stocked and beautiful view. The host gave us all kinds of tips about the island and helped us make the most out of our vacation. Really one of the best hosts I've ever had for any rental. The property was beautiful. I loved walking out the door right down to Lake Michigan and the firepit. We were there in June and the sunrise was literally right in front of the property.

Nicest rental on the island!
This is a wonderful rental in all ways possible. Great location (away from town so very peaceful), beautiful home, spacious, full of natural light, comfortable bed, etc. Trish went above and beyond to communicate regularly to ensure things were going well, and her attention to detail throughout the space is evident from the moment you walk in. The complimentary bottle of wine was a lovely touch too! Hands down the best experience I’ve ever had on Beaver Island - we will never stay elsewhere again. 10 out 5 stars!

About the host

Hosted by Trish Scott

Host profile image
Steve and I are retired but we volunteer on Beaver Island to support the community we love. We fell in love with Beaver Island the first week we visited in 1990. We do have a very small, fluffy dog that is so cute, but can be a bit wary at times.

Why they chose this property

This property is so close to town, just two miles from the grocery store, so if you forget something, it’s no big deal. We have a waterfront park for your use. It’s stunning! We are highly motivated hosts that aim to please. Beaver Island is so special for the solitude, peace and quiet that we all need. The property is on a very quiet road. So close to town yet so quiet.

What makes this property unique

Frontage on Lake Michigan. Loons overhead, starry skies, peace and quiet. Beautiful, well-appointed guest house. We have made numerous upgrades to the space, We are very excited to have you come visit our paradise!
