Beaver Island Cabin | Gorgeous Rustic Northern Michigan Island Getaway

1 Bedroom Cabin in Beaver Island, St. James

Get Away to an unspoiled natural environment where several eagle sitings daily are common. A place that has been virtually untouched and unspoiled, that is Beaver Island. Our cabin (Eagle's Rest) is situated 100 feet from Lake Michigan on a 10 acre Parcel. The views of Lake Michigan and High Island are spectacular!
Getting to Beaver Island: The first stop is Charlevoix, MI, a Lake Michigan harbor city located approx 250 miles north of Detroit. You can also fly into Pelston or Traverse City airports and connect to Beaver Island Ferry (https://www.bibco.com/) or Island Airways in Charlevoix (islandairways.com). From Charlevoix take a quick 20 minute flight or the 2 hour leisurely ferry ride on the Emerald Isle. Either way, it's an amazing adventure!
The link below lists all available transportation services getting to the island as well as once on the island

***PLEASE NOTE: If you are planning to bring your car over, you typically have to book in advance, we advise you call to make sure the ferry has availability before reserving to stay at our cabin***
When you arrive on the island you will find a place that will take you back in time. Slow, patient, friendly and Beautiful! You might want to stop at the Shamrock for a beverage after the ferry ride or take the scenic 20 minute drive straight out to Eagle's Rest. Distance is measured by time on the Island, most of the roads have not been paved...it's just another way to make you slow down!
When you reach Eagle's Rest the drive in is through a wooded pathway into a vast open area with scattered trees along the perimeter. Eagle's Rest was first built in 2004 with the original cabin. It has since been added on to with a larger additional cabin with a lovely connector. It is very charming, with spectacular views of Lake Michigan and High Island. It has a great front porch, screened in rear porch and large rear decks overlooking the lake. All furnishings are new or local antiques. Eagle's Rest has an outdoor (and indoor shower) shower with cold and hot running water. It is the renter's responsibility to bring their own sheets and towels. Eagle's Rest has a charming decor with an open layout which includes 33 large Anderson windows, many are floor to ceiling overlooking Lake Michigan. There are 2 large lofts with single beds and a bedroom with a king sized bed. The main floor has a comfortable pull out couch. It's perfect for a family of 2-7.
You may enjoy a good book overlooking Lake Michigan, take a swim in the clear lake water, explore the island and over 100 miles of roads and trails, kayak using the 2 kayaks provided, go for a bike ride using the 2 bikes provided, fish on one of the 5 inland lakes, roast marshmallows in the fire pit on the beach, admire the vast array of stars, discover some of the other islands in the Archipelego, visit the spa for a massage, play nine at the Beaver golf course, lounge on the patio, cocktails at Nina's, Donnegal Bay to enjoy the sunset, visit the CMU Biological center, or the 2 lighthouses on the island, Little Sand Bay, Iron Ore Bay or simply do Nothing! This is a vacation you will never forget and leave feeling truly rested.

Summary: Very nice and away from everyone. I can see there are items in progress (shower) with upgrades as in a new TV. It was a little dirty but I do not blame the owner . I can imagine it is hard to find help on the island plus it is rustic. Wonderful views of the water and plenty of space. Some privacy on the large windows in bathroom would be nice as more than once people were walking by looking into the house. This is the place if you want to get away from everything and enjoy peace and quiet.

Summary: Pretty 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.

Summary: Beautiful 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.

Summary: Beautiful. Not quite finished in places but finished enough. Great view, not great for swimming, quite rocky. Good for kayaking.

Summary: We 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!

Summary: Overall, 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.

Summary: The 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

Summary: Beautiful 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!

Summary: This 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.
