Rustic Authentic Michigan Log Cabin

Thank you so much! We’re thrilled to hear the cabin was the perfect fit for you, your wife, and your Boykin Spaniel. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime!

We are so happy you enjoyed your stay!

Thank you for your thoughtful review. We're so glad you enjoyed the peaceful setting, the sound of the waves, and the rustic charm of the cabin—those are exactly the experiences we hope our guests have. We also appreciate your feedback. Since your stay, we've been working with pest control and landscapers and are making additional improvements to the landscaping around the cabin to further discourage snakes from the immediate perimeter. As the cabin is located in a natural lakeside environment, wildlife can occasionally be present, but we are committed to doing everything we reasonably can to make guests feel comfortable. We'd also like to clarify that the well water is tested and safe to drink. The temporary white appearance is caused by tiny air bubbles, which quickly dissipate, and the occasional sulfur smell is common with well water in many areas.

We’re sorry this was your experience. We understand that encountering snakes was frightening and upsetting. Since this incident, we have taken action to address the concerns, including hiring professional pest control and making landscape renovations around the property. We have also reviewed the concerns regarding the water and continue to maintain the cabin to ensure a comfortable experience for our guests. We take these matters seriously and have made improvements since this stay to help prevent similar issues in the future.

Thanks for your stay Karly!

We appreciate your feedback. After several years of high water levels, we had to install a large rock seawall to protect the property from erosion. Unfortunately, the rocks created an ideal habitat for native, non-venomous snakes. As you noted in your review, we responded immediately to your concerns and arranged for a pest control company to travel to Beaver Island during the peak of the Canadian wildfire smoke, when air quality across Michigan was at its worst. While the treatment did not eliminate the snakes, we took your concerns seriously and made every effort to address the issue as quickly as possible. We are now bringing in sand to fill the gaps between the rocks to eliminate that habitat and significantly reduce snake activity around the property while continuing to protect the shoreline.
