The property was so great! The cottage is vintage with all the amenities needed to enjoy the stay. The location overlooking the shore was absolutely beautiful and provided amazing sunsets. It was so quiet and relaxing at the Above and Beyond cottage. My only recommendation is that instead of having the guests cart the garbage away to the Island exchange/landfill have the guests bag up the garbage and have the cleaning people cart it away. We could not find the Island exchange and so ended up throwing it in a trash can when we found one. We did not want to carry it all the way home. By doing this the guests do not have to add time onto their trip to the ferry. But overall, a wonderful place and I would recommend it to others. Thank you!

Excellent spot for a getaway for a few days

Washington Island is so beautiful; one must stay for several days to enjoy all the local flavor and friendly folks. This house was perfectly located on the bluff overlooking the lake; a beautiful sunset every night, perfect spot for a campfire near the beach; Comfortable beds and windows that let the fresh lake breeze blow through. We highly recommend this wonderful home!

The views from the house and on the beach were amazing! Unfortunately it was pretty windy when we were there so we didn't get to enjoy a fire on the beach. The house was comfortable.

A beautiful spot on the island!

We had an absolutely wonderful time at the cottage - we found it to be clean and had everything we needed to fully relax and enjoy our time. The view off the patio is awesome, the steps down to the water and the board walk are magnificent, and we found the cottage to be spacious for our group of 4 adults, one kid and one infant. This is truly a gem and we would love to return!

Perfect Location

We spent beautiful days in a perfect setting. We enjoyed peaceful mornings and beautiful sunset at this property that was so quiet, yet is was only a short distance from town. Bill made communication very easy, quickly responding to any and all questions we had. We would definitely return.

Rocky beach and sunsets you won't forget.

Beautiful location and home. The kids (and parents) found plenty of room to play games, find quiet space, and eat together. Slept so well and enjoyed one of our favorite things about the Island - the rocky beaches!! This home is spectacular and takes me back to special memories of visits to the island over the past 4 decades. Fires and sunsets on the beach and only a 'stones throw' from Schoolhouse Beach. Perfect for this family of 5. We are so grateful for Bill, he was a great communicator and the house was exactly as we had expected. Gratitude for this trip!! Highly recommend.

Epic!!!

We enjoyed our 2 week stay in this cottage on the lake shore. The new beds & furniture were very comfortable. The cottage is older but was very clean & well stocked with kitchen utensils. The one word to describe our stay was “Epic” The view is amazing from the deck or down on the shore. Enjoyed the beautiful sunsets!! Stargazing every night & one night caught the ISS on its orbit. Thank you, Bill

Beautiful views

Location was great! Lacking in some kitchen supplies or very old/cheap but ok due to location on water. Large hill to get to location made biking very hard. Rocky beach was hard to swim at - need swim shoes but we were told about that and the privacy was worth it. A bit hot without AC but that’s ok. County park beach was a great find for non rocky swimming. Great place overall.

Quiet location with a stunning view

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights. Bill was easy to communicate with when I had questions about the property. While it rained most of our stay, we did get a chance to walk down to the beach/fire pit area. With plenty of seating and flat rocks laid out as a walkway, it would've been awesome to have a fire. Wifi worked great and we were able connect to the TV for music and movies. Out of the 3 bedrooms, we chose the one facing the lake. The bed was comfortable and I loved being able to look out to the lake in the morning.

The cabin was cozy and comfortable. Plenty of privacy and felt safe. We knew ahead of time that bedsheets and towels were required to bring but find it to be unusual. We were most unhappy to discover that we were responsible for removing our trash from the property and having to take it to island exchange. That was a terrible inconvenience. Particularly because of its hours and the ferry schedule. Other than this, I would stay there again and would recommend. We did have to reach out to the host to figure out how to lock the sliding door and he was very quick to respond.

What a view!

The view, deck, and beach area are spectacular. The well-constructed stairs down to the beach were very impressive. Beds were comfy and the bathroom was updated. Plenty of room to spread out. If you’re sensitive to smells, there was a musty odor that needed to be aired out. I’m sure in the summer, when the house is occupied and opened more, that probably isn’t an issue. The kitchen and original parts of the house are quite old, but appliances were newer. A unique property with a really nice outdoor area.
