3. Sugar Inn

47mi from Mackinac Island · 1 site · Lodging · Beaver Island, MI

Don't just taste island living when you can emerse yourself in the middle of the largest island in Lake Michigan. Beaver Island offers remote experiences unlike any other you can grasp. Explore the trails, inland lakes, and habitat around the island or outside your tent door. The property has multiple trails amongst the maple trees and hemlocks. During the winter, you can attempt to ice skate in the swamp and in the spring you can hear maple sap dripping. The "state bird", mosquito, migrates back in May, but don't be scared off because there is still much to explore before the golden fall takes your breath away. The property is located near 5 miles from Michigan's only International Dark Sky Sanctuary. The property is also 2 miles from the Fox Lake boat launch and 3 miles from Barney's Lake boat launch, two of the islands best fishing holes. Rental includes (as long as it fits): two pair of snowshoes, two kayaks, and a canoe with PFDs. A shared flush toilet and hot shower is a short 2 minute walk into our residence with our family including a quality mouser (cat) that likes to go outside sometimes. A wagon or sled will be provided to make the 2 minute trek to the tent site. Driving to the site will not be permitted or available, especially when the snow flies. We are 1.5 miles from Fresh Air Aviation, 6.0 miles from Island Air, and 6.4 miles from the Beaver Island Boat Company. Please note: planes do not fly when there is inclement weather and the ferry is only seasonal. Be prepared to make plans in case you are not able to fly over or get stuck on island a few extra days. (Yes, this absolutely does happen!) Make sure to check the ferry schedule as well. This rental does not provide transportation. Car and bike rentals are available on island, but make sure to plan ahead especially in the peak season. Cars are permitted on the ferry with advance notice. We can also recommend different "taxi drivers" as Uber and Lyft are a mainland luxury not found on island. Things to note: there is a grocery store and gas station with limited hours. A health center is on island for medical emergencies. The property is a Verizon only location.

This was our second time back to stay in the tiny cabin. We loved our first trip. We drive downstate often to visit family. Perfect place to stop and enjoy nature with your dog and family. There's some trails to walk around with beautiful fall colors. We will be back. Highly recommend this hidden gem.

Just wonderful! Great couple and dog who were very friendly and helpful the entire time, but gave plenty of privacy. Every detail was well thought out, from the sun showers to the s'mores kit. Would definitely recommend, and won't hesitate to come back again.

Monte and Lisa's place was a wonderful experience. The camper was quaint and provided just what we needed. The outdoor shower was an experience everyone should have. At the end of the day, we sat by the fire and painted rocks with the supplies they had. Such a thoughtful touch!

This off-grid cabin is beautifully tucked away in a peaceful little forest spot, and the hosts have truly thought of everything—it’s cozy, well-appointed, and the outdoor shower setup was a standout feature. You can tell care went into making the space feel welcoming and functional.

Cute cabin, poured buckets one morning and was a very cosy place to wait out the storm. Monte and Lisa were very helpful and had some great tips about places to visit in the area. Would stay again if I ever find myself back up that way in the future. (Also, if you want to see some beautiful carving/painting, ask Monte about the ice fishing lures he makes)
