THE BEAVER ISLAND ARCHIPELAGO is composed of ten small islands that peek above the fresh waters of northeast Lake Michigan, far enough from the mainland to be environmentally distinct and relatively well preserved. An abundance of natural life thrives: 19 mammal species and hundreds of fish, bird, insect, and plant species all supported by a remarkable variety of beaches, forests, wetlands, and other habitats. The large inhabited Island contains 6 inland lakes and representations of every ecosystem in Michigan. And on the biggest island, Beaver, stands the great lake's largest settlement - a year-round community for seven generations, distinct for its relaxed pace, quality of life, and resilience. The inhabitants of Beaver Island are warm and welcoming, and include folks of historic Irish and Native American descent as well as many friendly folks of more recent residency on the Island.

Summary: The visit to Beaver Island was very enjoyable because of our host Seamus. He was there to help us every step of the way. Very intelligent with a very large knowledge of the history of the island and gave great advise on places to visit on the island. The site itself was found deeply in the forest. It was just what you would expect. A peaceful quiet place to think and relax from the busy world outside. There were some drawbacks as you can expect. Cell phone reception was nonexistent. That is good if you are trying to unplug from the world. We did have a couple issues contacting our travel companions. At least there was a land line. We were surprised that Seamus’s entry to the house was through the bathroom. My wife was concerned about being surprised if someone came in while she was using the shower or toilet. The environment was a bit musty as you can expect in the forest. Overall we enjoyed our stay.
