Anniversary getaway
Publié le 7 oct. 2024 sur HomeAwayPretty rough. Glad it was just the two of us. Would not have wanted our kids trapped in the lofts. Good luck figuring out the electric system. Switches that go to nothing. No over head lights.

I’m sorry to hear that you didn’t love the rustic cabin experience like many others do here on Beaver Island. Thank you for your feedback! We do have safe access to our lofts, along with lamps and overhead dining lights to help brighten things up.

Beautiful view
Publié le 24 sept. 2024 sur HomeAwayBeautiful view with privacy but not as clean as it should be considering price and fees. Coffee pot was dirty, bath mat wet and smelt bad.

Secluded cabin
Publié le 4 juill. 2024 sur HomeAwayBeautiful. Not quite finished in places but finished enough. Great view, not great for swimming, quite rocky. Good for kayaking.

Beautiful Lake Michigan view!
Publié le 17 juin 2024 sur HomeAwayWe loved staying at Eagle’s Rest! The view is spectacular, especially for sunsets! You can see Lake Michigan and High Island from inside the cabin, and you get an even better view from the deck and fire ring. We really liked the cabin too, even with the unfinished bits, it was so cozy and charming. Everything was really clean, although we recommend bringing your own blankets in addition to sheets and towels. Be prepared for a ton of bugs — you will need bug spray, hats, and long socks to enjoy an evening fire. I wish the loft above the king bed had a railing —while it would be hard to fall off the ends of the beds, it seems like this would be a necessary safety feature to have in place. We also wished that the window screens weren’t so ripped — if it would have been warmer, we would have definitely appreciated opening the windows to get the lake breeze. With the bugs and the ripped screens, almost all of the windows facing the lake are not able to be opened. We would stay here again in a heartbeat, though! It was so peaceful listening to the waves and birds and seeing the rocky shore and stars right from the cabin. 10/10 if you’re looking for natural beauty and rustic cabin charm!

Great house, needs a good cleaning
Publié le 9 oct. 2023 sur HomeAwayOverall, great trip. The island is wonderful, the location was good, and we really appreciated it being a dog friendly property. That said, my expectations were higher for cleanliness. Main points: mattresses are stained/need vacuuming and do not have covers. I am very glad we brought blankets. The blankets that are in the house are dirty. There is mess in every drawer/shelf. It is clearly a family vacation home, but it is difficult to get comfortable when there’s no place to put your stuff away. As the pictures show, part of the bathroom is unfinished. That was understood, but the inside of the unfinished bathtub has gotten dirty/moldy and is no longer covered like it is in the picture. The shower needs a very good cleaning, the floor had quite a bit of mildew. There was a persistent smell in the kitchen. Possibly from the disposal or from the cabinet under the sink. We had to find an extension cord in a drawer somewhere to run the disposal (we did not put any food down there). There were cobwebs and spiders in every corner. I suspect that the owners live downstate and rely on someone to clean the place. But it is not being cleaned very well, despite a high rental price and a decent cleaning fee. Other notes: beach is beautiful, but rocky. Chairs by fire pit are broken/uncomfortable, need replacing. Loft sleeping spaces are open to living room and bedroom and accessible by ladders. Kitchen counter/sink needs repair, gap lets water leak into cabinet below.

Depends what you're looking for....
Publié le 21 sept. 2023 sur HomeAwayIf it's peace and quiet with beautiful views, this is the place for you! Great fire pit (although some type of lighter or matches would have been nice, thankfully local hardware store had plenty) and deck to relax.
If you're looking for large space for many to sleep...keep looking. The main bedroom has a king bed, very comfy. The two usable lofts (best one in main bedroom) are not ideal for grown adults. Dusty with low ceiling and slanted walls. Ladder to get up and down is straight up and down, zero slant. The saggy short sofa is a hide-a-bed, we didn't use. Bring extension cords if you're a CPAP user.
We were inundated with fruit flies from 4 nicely ripe tomatoes on window sill. Thankfully he had Apple cider vinegar we could use to trap them.
The smoke detectors were in a cupboard. Electrical wires sticking out EVERYWHERE. Mind you we booked this place in May and arrived early September. Plenty of time in my estimation to complete this important task.
The bathroom STILL is not finished. Outlets not working.
Just want to make those aware so you know what you're getting.

We appreciate all of your feedback, and have added the items you addressed to the list of things to do before re-opening next season.
Admittedly, our family cabin is a work in progress. Although the bathtub is not completed (sadly, finding reliable labor on Beaver Island has proven to be a challenge in the last few years). Fortunately, we have received many compliments on how wonderful the pewabic/stone rain shower is.
We are happy to hear you enjoyed the peace and quiet and spectacular views that being in a waterfront cabin on Lake Michigan allows.
Again, thank you for bringing to attention the necessary updates.

Beaver island getaway
Publié le 6 juill. 2023 sur HomeAwayIt was very remote - but nice

Absolutely gorgeous
Publié le 11 oct. 2022 sur HomeAwayThe best getaway spot. Basically have your own little bay. It’s so peaceful here. A few areas where cleaning could be improved but not bad. The house is in the middle of being updated but this for the most part didn’t hurt our stay at all. Such a cool place to be

Nice getaway
Publié le 10 sept. 2022 sur HomeAwayBeautiful cabin. Some stuff unfinished, like the bathtub. But did not effect enjoyment of trip at all. Beautiful cabin and property. Remember to bring your own sheets! Loved biking the island!

A quiet and cozy cabin
Publié le 3 nov. 2021 sur HomeAwayThis cabin is a treasure on Beaver Island - nestled in the woods, looking northwest over the beach and water to High Island, with great biking, walking, and kayaking right from the property. You can watch the sunset from the cabin or walk down the beach to watch from a nearby point.
The beds are comfortable, with plenty of options between two lofts and a large king bed. The kitchen is well-equipped, with plenty of pans, utensils, and storage in the large french-door fridge and freezer drawer.
That said, the cabin is definitely a labor of love and a work in progress. The bathroom is unfinished, as pictures show, but usable. Doors and windows are missing trim and quite drafty when a fall wind blows from the north/northwest. The electric baseboard heaters help but can't deal with a serious cold -- this is likely a three season cabin. An exposed electrical outlet in the loft shocked my curious four-year-old (a good life lesson to learn, with no harm done). Some wiring is unfinished - switches for lights not yet installed. Honestly, the cabin made me wish I had my tools so I could make some quick fixes.
All in all, I highly recommend the cabin to any family with children or small group of adults.
