Lakefront Cottage

Windwood Cottage is a gorgeous custom home, located at the shores of Lake Michigan on one of the most beautifully secluded lakefront lots on Beaver Island.

This home is well appointed with all the amenities you could want to make your vacation stay comfortable and convenient. A modern and fully equipped gourmet kitchen will make hosting meals a breeze, and a screened in lakefront dining area will allow for a spectacular dining experience in any weather, with some of the best sunset views on the island.

Lounge in the lakefront cabana chairs or relax in the hammock as you listen to the waves just steps away. Enjoy the light and airy feeling of being in the woods even while indoors with this home’s 31 windows and skylights. In the fall, cozy up to a fire by the beautiful rock fireplace.

Unlike many rental properties, when you arrive at Windwood you’ll find high quality bed linens and towels awaiting you, as well as many cooking essentials, from oils to spices and more.

The cottage sleeps up to 8 people. There is a master bedroom on the main floor with a queen sized bed, and two bedroom upstairs with a queen bed in each. There is a sofa sleeper in the finished basement. There are two full bathrooms on the main and upper floor, and a half bathroom in the basement level.

Wifi is provided, as are streaming services though a smart TV.

Windwood Cottage is located just a few miles from downtown St. James, the ferry dock and the airport, yet it feels wild and remote. Less than a mile away is the famous Donegal Bay sand beach, and numerous hiking trails and backwoods dirt roads await your exploration.

Beaver Island is a true hidden gem, wild and remote - yet easily accessed by a regular ferry or a quick and inexpensive flight from Charlevoix, MI.

Windwood Cottage is available year round.
