We loved our stay at Kelly’s Point! The little cabin was everything we’d hoped it’d be and more. It was clean, well stocked and so dang charming. The views, the stars, the peace- it’s a week we won’t ever forget. Gerry was SO helpful with all our pre trip questions and made check in and directions so easy. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!

This was our second summer staying here and we absolutely love the location! We're so glad there is now an enclosure around the shower. We definitely plan to return for many more summers.

Quiet Get-away

This was the perfect spot to have a quiet get-away. It was nice to be on the south end of the island and close to all the natural features of the island. In one word...peaceful.

Perfect honeymoon get away

We absolutely loved being surrounded by nature and the waves. Rustic is completely accurate but the time away makes it worth the treck to a little secluded cabin on the water. Thank you Gerry!

Rustic cabin that feels like you're on a boat it's so close to the water. Fell asleep easily listening to the waves crashing into the shore.

It is was an amazing experience. Rustic is exactly what you get. The views , the cozy feeling, the tranquility and peaceful feeling you get just sitting or even when you are falling asleep listening to the waves crash and feeling the breeze is worth it all and you forget everything. The only thing I would say should be part of the description is , there are snake dens very close to the cabin, although not dangerous or venomous (thank God) but for someone who might have a phobia of snakes that could be very threatening to them and they could get hurt. Also the water it is well water it comes out very white and has very bad smell to it. I do suggest you bring water bottles or you make sure to the boil it before drinking it. They say it is drinkable but I couldn’t bare the smell of it. Lots of bugs in and around but nothing a good bug spray and fly swaps can’t take care of. Oh one last thing the beach is very very rocky, so if you are looking to swim you have to walk a good amount (about 150 feet maybe) before hitting ground that isn’t slippery rocky or shallow. So water shoes are a most!!! There is a sandy beach about 10 min drive from the cabin.

Thank you for your thoughtful review. We're so glad you enjoyed the peaceful setting, the sound of the waves, and the rustic charm of the cabin—those are exactly the experiences we hope our guests have. We also appreciate your feedback. Since your stay, we've been working with pest control and landscapers and are making additional improvements to the landscaping around the cabin to further discourage snakes from the immediate perimeter. As the cabin is located in a natural lakeside environment, wildlife can occasionally be present, but we are committed to doing everything we reasonably can to make guests feel comfortable. We'd also like to clarify that the well water is tested and safe to drink. The temporary white appearance is caused by tiny air bubbles, which quickly dissipate, and the occasional sulfur smell is common with well water in many areas.

The cabin was like stepping back in time(with some modern convenience)! Beautiful blue waters lapping at the beach. Warm cozy fires in the evening. Brilliant night sky views. We enjoyed the island, the bays and especially the cabin!

Idyllic romantic get away

Cozy, rustic cottage right on the water. Secluded and quiet aside from the sound of the waves on water and the wind. Warm fireplace inside and fresh crisp air off the water flowing through the windows if you wish. Simply beautiful, relaxing, and special. Loved it, thank you!

Great cabin! Waking up every morning with the lake view out from the window is the most perfect thing in the world! Tim and I loved sitting out on the porch and just taking in the scenery. The whole island has lots to see and lots to explore. We loved the hiking trails, protars cabin, the cute town, and the restaurants with it's delicious meals! And I genuinely loved using the VHS/VCR player in the cabin. I haven't used one of those in years! One night we were relaxing on the couch with the warmth of the fireplace, enjoying a hot cup of tea and watching 'grumpy old men. It was perfect! Thank you for letting us stay in your cabin for a few nights!

Cabin on the lake.

This is definitely an old cabin. Takes you back in time. If you want peace and quiet Then this is the place to be. Seen a few snakes and the mosquitoes were kind of rough but I would definitely go back.

Turn off your brain

Everything was amazing and comfortable and relaxing, only “issues” was a giant spider we came across in the bathroom plus all the little flies and spiders everywhere else but for a cabin on the water in beaver island it’s pretty much spotless

I don't know where to start.All I can tell you, I was reading some reviews about snakes and I reached out to gerry and I told him my concerns, and i'm very afraid of snakes, he assured me that the cabin was always cleaned.And that they checked for snakes and maybe I would see one by the shoreline if that while we arrived there and there was snakes everywhere inside outside under cushions, it was terrible.It was awful.That was my main concern was those snakes, and it was so scary and gross.He refused to give us our money back.So we are disputing right now with other avenue, is we check into a hotel.We were only in that rustic, so called cabin for about thirty minutes until we saw the snakes crawling all over each other.It was unbelievable, it was like a horror movie. The water and the faucet comes out white like milk.He claims it was air.In the lines and kept it running for as long as we were there, which was only about twenty minutes before we ran out of there.It was just horrible, horrible, horrible, don't buy into it, but

We’re sorry this was your experience. We understand that encountering snakes was frightening and upsetting. Since this incident, we have taken action to address the concerns, including hiring professional pest control and making landscape renovations around the property. We have also reviewed the concerns regarding the water and continue to maintain the cabin to ensure a comfortable experience for our guests. We take these matters seriously and have made improvements since this stay to help prevent similar issues in the future.

Lovely little break from society in your very rustic piece of paradise. It's only a 1/2 bath as there is no shower or bath facility. When you say bring towels we naturally assumed bath towels not kitchen. Lol. Great experience .

We were suppose to stay at Kelly's Point but received a call from the owners that there was a Snake problem so they would have to place us at their private residence on the Island which was Eagles Nest. It was beautiful! Log cabin on the lake with kayaks and bikes to use! It was Private and quiet! It could have used a good dusting and cleaning but very nice!
