Avis NEW! Starry Skies Sanctuary-Luxury Lakefront Home on Lake G w/Watercrafts & WFH

Beautiful setting overlooking an inland lake on the island. Water and beach toys are provided including a variety of floatation vests. The beach is sandy with clear, shallow water for several feet. Very few boats or people on the water. Was fun to see and listen to the loons in the evening. Well appointed kitchen with air fryer, crockpot, cooler. Close to some beautiful, quiet beaches on Lake Michigan and several hiking lanes. Our only issue was the fact that with a family of 5-9 at the house for a week we ran out of toilet paper, dishwasher detergent and other similar items so had to make a couple runs to the market in town. The house rules also required that we make a run to take the trash and recycling to the local center. These were all runs of more than 20 min of dirt roads. Not really a complaint but something to be aware of. If you are bringing a large family, pick up extra green trash bags, paper towels, dishwasher detergent, laundry detergent and toilet paper on one of your runs through town.

This was a wonderful family trip!! Three generations at the house, which was set up perfectly for our needs. Lake G was beautiful, and eth fishing was great. Easy access to multiple pristine beaches. Beaver Island was an enchanting place to stay (as good as I remembered from 40 years ago). Will be planning a trip back soon.

This homes location, host and amenities were beyond expectations! We have stayed at different locations on Beaver Island, and this has become our families favorite that we will return to every summer! A beautiful home with everything needed including a finished basement with tons of games and books for the kids, along with kayaks and paddle boards, canoe and small aluminum boat on a beautiful sandy bottom lake. Already have 2024 booked and cannot wait to go back again! Thanks again Kristina for your assistance and quick response to our questions!

The home is well suited for a family or group of friends. The location is remote, quiet and on a beautiful private lake. The house was clean, spacious and just as described.

Beautiful place!! Clean, comfortable, so much to do around the beautiful home. Quiet and so relaxing. Love to visit again!

We had a wonderfully relaxing stay. The owners have gone above and beyond to ensure a pleasant and fun time. We love Beaver Island and are so grateful we had the opportunity to stay on Lake G.

Our stay on Beaver Island was amazing! This rental is beautiful and they have added so many great touches to make this a very special and enjoyable stay. First off, the house is gorgeous and they went the extra mile to provide all the cooking supplies (even some food!), appliances, games, COMFORTABLE bedding, boats and water supplies (and even TV programs! ☺️) to make our stay incredibly comfortable. These items were all of high quality and left me writing down brand names of appliances and bedding that I now want in my home 😂. The house is exceptionally clean and well kept. We all agreed that we'd love to come back and stay again. Thank you thank you thank you!

A delightful house set in a gorgeous location. This was our first vacation to Michigan and we couldn’t have had a nicer introduction than Beaver Island. The house sits almost directly on Lake G and with the large windows and wrap around deck, we hardly took our eyes off the view in the 5 days we stayed. The outdoors is set up beautifully with deck seating, Adirondack chairs by the beach, a hammock on the hill, and a separate fire pit. We used every spot, sometimes at night, to drink in the stars or enjoy the lake. The canoe, kayaks, and paddle boards were perfect and easy to launch into the clear, clean lake. The house is very up to date and comfortable with plenty of space to spread out or gather. The site is remote, about 30 minutes to drive into town, but it was perfect as a quiet, relaxing get away. It is an easy walk to the Lake Michigan beaches as well. We'd book this place again in a heartbeat.

After spending a week at Starry Skies Sanctuary, our family of 4 (mom, dad, teenage boy & girl) agreed this was our all-time favorite rental property. We were looking for a remote, quiet escape where we could do some fishing & spend time together without distractions, & this beautiful home checked all the boxes & so many more! There was quite literally nothing the hosts hadn’t thought of: well-appointed is an understatement! Every pot, pan, dish, condiment, spice, & kitchen gadget we needed was provided. There were plenty of beach towels; health & beauty items; detergents for the washer, dishwasher, & sink; blankets; books; board games; water toys (kayaks, paddle boards, small boat, canoe, floats, life jackets, scuba gear, 4 fishing poles & light tackle)... they really did think of everything! The home was extremely clean & smelled wonderful. Sadly the cloud cover didn’t allow for us to have a clear view of the stars during our stay, but it was still so quiet and peaceful to watch the sunsets & enjoy the calm, breezy evenings on the beach (as long as there is no light... any light source - phone, flame, flashlight - immediately attracts mosquitoes). We loved listening to the loons’ calls. The beach is fine, soft sand & is easy to walk on. There is lots of seating & opportunities to see different types of wildlife. We saw deer, various birds, monarch butterfly caterpillars, snakes, & minnows. The water near the bank is shallow, so it’s great for wading. You have to go out into deeper water to catch fish, though. A few things we learned about the island: 1. Make sure you line up your transportation on the ferry with your arrival & departure dates. I would strongly recommend either bringing a vehicle or renting one as the drive to town is about 25 minutes. Bringing your own car carries extra requirements with the ferry company, so be sure to know those. (The people there are wonderful and easy to work with.) 2. The water on the island smells of sulfur, so we bought bottled water for drinking & cooking. 3. There are no local places in town which sell fishing licenses anymore; they will all direct you to the state website to purchase online. Our T-Mobile phones had almost no service on the island outside the house WiFi, so we had to drive around in town searching for a spot with service to be able to purchase the licenses right before our charter, causing us to be a few minutes late to our boat. Overall, highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Our family of five really enjoyed our stay at Starry Skies Sanctuary. We had two friends join us for a few nights and there was more than enough room for everybody. The home was very clean and had all the supplies we needed and plenty of seating inside and out. The lakefront and all of the equipment provided were fantastic. We enjoyed kayaking, paddle boarding and rowing. This is a very family-friendly lake with a huge shallow shoreline that allowed the parents to relax while the kids played and learned, but there is also a lot of depth further out. We didn't fish, but everyone we talked to said it was a great fishing lake. The island was beautiful and so calm and quiet - the perfect respite. Wonderful roads, beaches, and sights. We rarely encountered other people in our adventures, but everyone we did was kind and friendly. The ferry ride over was so easy - a lot of seating options (open air, indoor tables, reclining seats). Given the location of the house, a car is really handy, so I recommend travelers book an auto slot on the ferry or rent a car. Thanks for a wonderful stay! We will definitely look to rent again on our next trip to Beaver Island.
