About the host
Hosted by Keith & Sheri Pierson :-)
My family has been going to the island for nearly 50 years. My parents loved the charm and the beautiful lake Michigan scenery. Although my parents are no longer with us, I have been able to keep the tradition alive by bringing my children to the cottage. We still visit the island regularly and I savor the moments that I can spend reminiscing with my two boys of the times, and memories I had during the summers growing up on the island. It is, and will always be, a special place.
Why they chose this property
The cottage is ideally situated overlooking the harbor. The view is nothing less than spectacular. Sitting on the deck, watching the the boats sail by and enjoying the sunset is inspiring. Most of our guests say that just 'hanging out' on the deck and relaxing is one of the endearing qualities of the Beaver Island Harbor View.
What makes this property unique
The cottage is centrally located and over-looks the entire St. James township harbor, and is walking distance from grocery store, fish market, brewery, lighthouse, and ferry docks.
