About this property

Bright and spacious, modern carriage house apartment. WiFi. 2 miles from town.

Go back in time as you travel 32 miles offshore to 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, MI to experience paradise.

Comfortable, spacious and relaxing 1 bedroom/1 bathroom carriage house apartment on north end of the island. Amenities include: Wifi, smart Roku TV for streaming, full kitchen (no dishwasher,) gas grill, firepit, private deck, towels and linens are provided. Laundry use is available at the main house. 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 and gas grill. You are a short walk away from lake Michigan (rocky shoreline) where you can swim and 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. We are pet free and do not allow cats or dogs. Thank you for understanding.

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 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!
There's a private balcony. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a Smart television is provided for your entertainment. The bathroom has a shower/tub combination and a hair dryer. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as gas grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Becca and Bryan's place is stellar!! It has everything you need and it's in a prime location. It's cozy, clean, inviting, close to town, near the beach, surrounded by woods, and has several amenities. We used the fire pit (wood provided!), the bbq grill (propane provided!), and enjoyed our morning coffee on the balcony every morning. I also really appreciated the fan in the bedroom window and the ceiling fans. I highly recommend this rental and I hope to stay here again in the future!

This place was ADORABLE and very comfortable. Thoughtfully decorated with plenty of seating. Great air flow, even on a very warm summer weekend. Clean & well-stocked kitchen. The location was great- close enough to town to bike back and forth and close to sunset beach. Becca was very helpful and friendly.

The Starry Night guesthouse is wonderful, and the hosts are lovely! We couldn't have asked for a better experience. The guesthouse was warm and inviting and had all the comforts of home. And the hosts were so gracious they made us feel like family. We will definitely be back to stay here again...and to enjoy more of beautiful Beaver Island.

Liked: Cleanliness
This is an absolutely beautiful place, lovingly built and lovingly maintained. It was spotlessly clean when we arrived and had everything we needed plus plenty more. I can't say with certainty how big it is, but the point is that it feels spacious, roomy, airy, and with plenty of light, both natural and from overhead fixtures. Of course, we spent most of our time outside, biking and swimming, but we absolutely loved and enjoyed coming back to this place. Just as description says - spacious and relaxing. The location is perfect, short drive or bike ride to town and a short drive/bike ride to a beautiful sandy beach at Donegal Bay. The house is literally 2 minutes walk from the lake and one can swim there too, although the bottom is rocky there, so we favored the beach at Donegal Bay. Last but definitely not least, Becca and Bryan are amazing hosts who made us feel welcome as if we were good family or friends. We can't thank them enough for hosting us and for their kindness. We are already looking forward to come again next year.

Beautiful and relaxing getaway!

Bryan and Becca were great hosts! They made the check in and out process as easy as it could possibly be, and they were always easy to reach over the phone. The guest house had everything we needed - all we had to bring was our standard luggage and a few groceries. The house was very very clean and thoughtfully decorated. They also included a basket of maps, pamphlets, and more for us to really make the most of our trip. Overall, we simply couldn't have asked for a better stay. If I could give them more than 5 stars I would!

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!
