Peace and quiet

We’ve stayed at many different places on the island and especially loved this one. The private beach looks out on lovely Lake Michigan with Garden Island on the horizon. It’s very relaxing and meditative. The location is perfect, with the sandy Donegal Bay Beach just down the road in one direction and the town of Saint James in the other. The apartment is filled with amenities, which include a towel warmer, a kitchen with everything you need, and plenty of storage for those who are staying the week. We highly recommend it and plan to return again.

Our stay was so nice because the location was a great starting point to find all the treasures the island offers; and when we ran out of ideas Tricia had plenty to share. All of which were outstanding! The rental was SO CLEAN - and I love that. It's my number one wish when traveling. Highly recommend. Oh, I we slept in nearly every morning, because it was quiet, calm and peaceful.

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.

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.

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!

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!
