About this property

Starry Night. Spacious and relaxing guesthouse. WiFi. 2 miles from town.

A vintage vacation awaits you. 32 mi offshore on America's emerald isle, Beaver Island. Unspoiled. Unhurried. Unbelievable! The island is 55 square miles of gravel roads and rustic beauty. When you come to the island, you are getting away from the conveniences that city life offers and enjoying the benefits and beauty of the natural world. Take the ferry or plane from Charlevoix to experience paradise.

Beautiful, comfortable, spacious and relaxing 1 bedroom/1 bathroom guesthouse on north end of the island. Wifi. There is a smart Roku TV for streaming your online accounts, but there is no cable. Very clean and comfortable. Enjoy this quiet corner of the island, still close to town but tucked away in a wooded area. Newly built in 2017. Solid hickory floors throughout. Queen bed in the bedroom, and a queen pull out sofa in living room. Lots of seating in the living space. The kitchen has everything you need for living at home (except a dishwasher.) The apartment is located above our garage and has a separate entrance and deck. Enjoy being outdoors using the fire pit (wood bundles available for purchase at the hardware store) and gas grill. You are a short walk away from lake Michigan where you can take in the sunrise and sunset. The space is located 2 miles from town and also 2 miles from Donegal Bay, which is a wonderful beach for swimming and sunsets. Check in is at 3:00 p.m. and check out is at 10:00 a.m.

I do recommend having a car to explore the island. If you choose to bring your own vehicle over contact bibco.com (Beaver Island Boat Company) for ferry schedule and rates. You can bring your car over on the ferry and will need to make a reservation for it. They start taking reservations in January and summer dates fill up quickly as there is limited space for cars. There are two places to rent cars on the island...
Burton car rentals (they also rent electric bikes) 231-838-2883.
Duffy's car rental 231-448-3132.
Keep in mind that these are individuals who rent cars, not car companies. Our island is very dusty with its gravel roads, you may not have the same type of car rental experience that you do on the mainland. Call ahead for reservations.
The island is 13 miles long and 6 miles wide. If you are content in walking and relaxing in town, you will still have an enjoyable time. Rent bikes, kayaks or paddle boards in town and enjoy spending time on the water.

There are online articles and videos about the island history. You may have a richer experience if you spend some time looking exploring that information. Life slows down here and restores your soul. You can follow my Instagram account @Becca Foli Photos to see pictures of the island year-round.

Make Starry Night your island home when you visit. We look forward to having you as our guests. Let the adventure begin!

Starry Night is a fantastic, wonderfully decorated garage apartment with a great kitchen and living spaces. The porch is terrific and it is only a short bike to town or the beach. We loved our stay here - can't wait to return!

Beautiful quiet getaway
The Starry Night is a bright, tidy unit above the garage, less than a 10-minute bike ride from the ferry and the main drag. Becca and Brian are excellent hosts. It's quiet, spacious, and a great home base for exploring the island. Would be glad to make a return visit!

Amazing little apartment and even better hosts.
I surprised my wife with a birthday trip to Beaver Island. I was able to secretly setup a charter flight and a car rental from Duffy. Once we got onto the island, we checked into our cozy little apartment. The unit was extremely clean with all the amenities you would need for your stay. The host, Becca, was very kind and gave us a quick run down of the island. I will definitely book this apartment our next trip up to the island. Thank you Becca!

Perfect cozy guest house
Starry Night was the perfect hideaway cozy space. Close enough to town to be convenient but totally secluded for lovely long walks along the quiet roads, trails and beach. The bed was super comfortable and the kitchen was stocked with all the essentials (coffee, sugar, oils, etc.) Communication with my hosts was easy, I never felt in the way despite being over their garage. Thank you Becca and Bryan!

Beautiful secluded property.
This property had everything we needed for our weekend getaway. It's secluded, quiet, and in the woods but close to town. Lots of beaver island historical facts throughout the cabin. We used the map they had marked with trails and beaches and spent a whole day exploring. It was a perfect weekend getaway.

In search of peace and quiet!
Becca (and her mother) were both welcoming and accommodating of our visit. Their communication and ongoing hospitality was exceptional. The availability of bicycles at the property was a game changer. We explored most of the north end of the island and St James on bike over a couple of days. The day hikes and beach visits were beautiful and easy to find. The quiet and serenity of The Beav is second to none with friendly locals at every turn to make your stay even more enjoyable…

Becca and Bryan’s property could not be more perfect. It was clean, cozy, comfortable and felt very private. We appreciated all of the maps with island highlights called out for guests to reference. We fell in love with the island and staying at Starry Night certainly sealed the deal. We cannot wait to visit again!
