About this property

Home away from home. Well maintained and close to the main road.

NOTE: This is a SUNDAY to SUNDAY rental from May to October.
This 3 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath cottage was fully restored in the fall of 2018. Fresh paint inside and out, new carpet, roof, well, mattresses and furniture. Remodeled kitchen with new appliances. It was a labor of love. Well maintained and taken care of.
Well stocked kitchen, some board games and all linens provided with the exception of beach towels.

This cottage is super cute and 1 block from the harbor, 2 blocks from the grocery store and Dalwhinnie's Bakery, less than a 10 minute walk to the lighthouse and 1/2 mile from the back beach.

Large master bedroom with private bathroom and private entrance on the main level.

2 bedrooms and a 1/2 bath upstairs.

Large front porch and back deck.. Fire pit in the back yard. Deer and turkey sightings are frequent. Great cottage for families.

1 block from the cottage is a grassy area on the harbor with Adirondack chairs for your use.

Absolutely NO smoking and NO pets. We are very sensitive to smoke and pet hair.

Rentals are for a 3 night minimum from mid- September to October. Beginning in summer of 2020 our May-mid-September rentals will be a minimum of 7 night stays and dates will be from SUNDAY to SUNDAY.

Wonderful home away from home

The home was exactly what we needed for a relaxing week on the island! It is such a comfortable place, clean, everything you need, and so close to everything in town while still being "away from it all".

This was our famlies 2nd time staying at FallenOaks. Again it met everything for our family needs. We are a family that loves to cook/grill. Renee has the home very well stocked for all of your cooking enjoyment. The new chairs at the lake front that are provided were a perfect touch. Looking forward to our stay next year.

Fun place to play in the sun!!

We had a great time, as always. Beaver Island is a great place to relax. The chickens and the rooster were annoying, but we handled it well. We had 2 cats that visited us daily but we didnt feed them at all. Thanks again and we will see who all wants to go next year.

Hello Barbara- We apologize for the chickens and rooster. Many conversations have been had with the owner of said animals. Hopefully they will be gone when you return next year.
