Located in the Eastern Upper Peninsula of Michigan in the small town of Engadine. We are a few miles from Lake Michigan with the camp nesting beside the tranquil waters of Doe Creek. There is wildlife traveling through the property and at times make this their home.
This is a birding paradise for those birds migrating through and others building their nests and raising their babies here. Every spring is different those birds migrating, we see Indigo Bunting, Baltimore Oriole, Grosbeak and Bobolink. Occasionally we see just a flicker of color and wing and they are gone to another home. Actually nesting here are Hummingbirds, Cedar Waxwing and Sandhill Cranes, Every kind of Woodpecker is a daily sighting with the Pileated announcing his arrival that vibrates across the field and through the trees.
We are a hobby farm, we hay in July, garden during the summer and at times have a variety of farm animals. There is recreation galore including swimming, fishing, boating, skiing, hiking, and biking to name a few very familiar activities to this area.

Don't just taste island living when you can immerse yourself in the middle of the largest island in Lake Michigan. Beaver Island offers remote experiences unlike any other. Explore the trails, inland lakes, and natural habitats around the island or right outside your tent door.
The property has multiple trails among 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," the mosquito, returns in May, but don’t be deterred — there is still much to explore before the golden fall takes your breath away.
The property is located about five miles from Michigan's only International Dark Sky Sanctuary. It is also two miles from the Fox Lake boat launch and three miles from Barney's Lake boat launch, two of the island’s best fishing spots.
Rental includes (as long as it fits): two pairs of snowshoes, two kayaks, and a canoe with PFDs.
A shared flush toilet and hot shower are a short two-minute walk to our residence, which is shared with our family, including a quality mouser (cat) that sometimes goes outside.
A wagon or sled will be provided to make the two-minute trek to the tent site. Driving to the site is not 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 in inclement weather, and the ferry is only seasonal. Be prepared to make alternate plans in case you cannot fly over or get stuck on the island for a few extra days. (Yes, this does happen!) Make sure to check the ferry schedule as well.
This rental does not provide transportation. Car and bike rentals are available on the island, but be sure to plan ahead, especially in peak season. Cars are permitted on the ferry with advance notice. We can also recommend local “taxi drivers,” as Uber and Lyft are not available on the island.
Things to note: There is a grocery store and gas station with limited hours. A health center is on the island for medical emergencies. The property has Verizon service only.

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.

Monte and Lisa are amazing hosts! Their primitive campsite was secluded and private. It had a nice soft grassy place to put up my tent and a table, bench and canopy with a fire pit. Lucy was an excellent greeter also:)

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)

They went all out to make us welcome arriving in a rainstorm.
I would definitely stay again.
