About this property

Home away from home. Well maintained and close to the main road.

NOTE: This is a SUNDAY to SUNDAY rental from May to October.
This 3 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath cottage was fully restored in the fall of 2018. Fresh paint inside and out, new carpet, roof, well, mattresses and furniture. Remodeled kitchen with new appliances. It was a labor of love. Well maintained and taken care of.
Well stocked kitchen, some board games and all linens provided with the exception of beach towels.

This cottage is super cute and 1 block from the harbor, 2 blocks from the grocery store and Dalwhinnie's Bakery, less than a 10 minute walk to the lighthouse and 1/2 mile from the back beach.

Large master bedroom with private bathroom and private entrance on the main level.

2 bedrooms and a 1/2 bath upstairs.

Large front porch and back deck.. Fire pit in the back yard. Deer and turkey sightings are frequent. Great cottage for families.

1 block from the cottage is a grassy area on the harbor with Adirondack chairs for your use.

Absolutely NO smoking and NO pets. We are very sensitive to smoke and pet hair.

Rentals are for a 3 night minimum from mid- September to October. Beginning in summer of 2020 our May-mid-September rentals will be a minimum of 7 night stays and dates will be from SUNDAY to SUNDAY.

Check in time - Sunday 4 pm
Check out time- following Sunday at 10 am

Perfect stay on the island

Excellent communication from the start. Perfect quiet location in the harbor, just a 2 minute walk to the private beach. The house was well-equipped to make the stay feel like home from the start. Will definitely stay again.

Fun place to play in the sun!!

We had a great time, as always. Beaver Island is a great place to relax. The chickens and the rooster were annoying, but we handled it well. We had 2 cats that visited us daily but we didnt feed them at all. Thanks again and we will see who all wants to go next year.

Great time

Our family had a great time. Despite a new structure blocking the view of the water, the home is well equipped with anything anything you need for cooking, the front porch is great to relax on with a cup of coffee, and the back yard is quiet and relaxing as well

Perfect Location

This was our famlies 2nd time staying at FallenOaks. Again it met everything for our family needs. We are a family that loves to cook/grill. Renee has the home very well stocked for all of your cooking enjoyment. The new chairs at the lake front that are provided were a perfect touch. Looking forward to our stay next year.

We had an awsome stay. The house has everything you need. Perfect location to so many things.

We were able to get the Fallen Oak Cottage in mid September with exceptional weather. Took our E-bikes instead of car and found so many hidden treasures you wouldn't find with a car. The restaurants have great food and hospitality. We got to experience an outdoor dinner with a "Barn Storm "promise from a Sea Plane Pilot that was made to our waitress that went right over our heads. Awesome! With a last minute change in our son's work schedule Renee was able to let us stay one more night. Thank you for your help Renee. We made alot of treasurable moments with our family. All ready wanting to plan a trip for next year!

Family Vacation

Your house was beautiful. Overall wonderful experience, location was perfect for what we needed. Met some of your family, very nice people! 2 things that you may want to consider to update. Coffee pot, we had a lot of coffee drinkers and the maker brewed slowly. We had to clean it with vinegar 4 different times to get to brew. Took almost 2 hours to brew first pot. Second thing. Charcoal grill. Throw it away.. maybe invest in a propane grill. Other than that. Everything was absolutely great!

Nice Find

The cottage was perfect for my husband and I. We were celebrating our birthdays and just wanted to get away. Renee was wonderful in answering all my questions before our trip. The boat ride over and back was amazing. We took our car and drove the whole island. The cottage was in walking distance to everything around town. We walked from the cottage to the light house and then kept on going into town. Stopped to get ice cream and continued on to find the Beaver Island Lodge. While we were on the island, the Northern Lights made a slight appearance and the Milkyway was awesome along with beautiful sunsets. There were only a few restaurants open and we took advantage of them, but we were also able to cook meals at the cottage. The kitchen was well stocked. Thank You Renee for making our trip easy. We shall return again some day. The islander's were very friendly!

Cute little cabin in the woods.

Beautiful cottage!

We had a perfect week on the island! The pictures of this cottage show a lot of its charm, but they can’t show how it feels to have the windows open and that warm summer breeze coming in off the lake. Or how lovely it feels to sit on the front porch at night. The pictures can’t show how comfortable all of the beds and furniture are (SO comfortable) or how completely at home you will feel. The owners have thought of every little thing that you could need, and then some. This is a perfect home base for island adventures. The location is great as well! I highly recommend!

Perfect Beaver Island property

The house was beautiful! Very clean and comfortable. We had everything we needed. We were close to town. We walked to the store and bakery daily, short walks. Also we walked to Toy store and boat dock (longer walks). The yard was large enough to play games in. We had a great week!
