"The property was great. Very clean and spacious. Everyone around the prot was friendly and helpful.There could have been a bit more instruction on check in. At the time of this review you go to the St. James boat house. Around the side are stairs. Your name will be on an unlocked door of one of the rooms."
"This place was perfect for us! The stone stands out, but the views from this property are what really sets it apart. The huge windows, positioning on the bluff and orientation toward Garden Island all combine for the most breathtaking views right from the couch. The kitchen and bath were well appointed and the bedroom offered breezes and comfortable sleeping conditions. We really loved the location, which was close enough to town to pop over for a drink or ice cream, but far enough to feel off the beaten path. The little park just a short walk down the street offered great access to the lake and nice little daily adventure without getting in the car. The property manager was generous with information and accommodations. The Little Stone Cottage is the perfect place for you to get away from it all and experience Beaver Island the way it should be. We hope to return again soon."
Lake Michigan/Beaver Island with incredible private beach
10/10 Excellent
"We had a lovely stay and would stay again. The location, beach access, views, games, kayaks, and multiple gathering spaces worked especially well for our family. The home was clean, communication was responsive, and we made wonderful memories on Beaver Island."
"Being so close to town, it's easy to get back and forth by foot. Great deck. We spent most of our time outside just relaxing. But, of course, did the mandatory boodle around the island and ran into friends I haven't seen in a year or so. You just can't beat Beaver Island for relaxation and exploring. Our hosts were amazing and helpful in every way."
