Bell Street-Downtown Oasis


In the heart of downtown Madeline Island is Bell Street Lodging. Walking distance to restaurants, bars and beaches. This is an ideal place to relax and take in the views. Your rental unit is located on the second floor and has its own private deck to enjoy morning coffee a cocktail or just to soak in the scenery. There is additional common space that can be enjoyed as well. This includes a massive deck with plenty of seating and tables to enjoy additional views or company if you so chose. We have created a bbq and beer garden as well. Use one of the grills and courtyard area for wonderful meal outside.

The lodging includes two bedrooms allowing for up to 6 guests. Please note that the max guests allowed is 6. If you exceed the max amount we may ask you to leave the property and no refund will be provided.

The main bedroom has a queen bed and access to the private deck. The second bedroom is also equipped with a queen and bunk beds. The bunk beds are adult sized with 8" thick mattresses.

The Bell Street Lodging was constructed with concrete forms. The concrete forms offer a quiet sanctuary within your space. Or step outside and walk a 100 yards to Tom's Burned Down Cafe. Tom's is an island music oasis. Not to mention spectacular for people watching. Enjoy a short walk to the Beach Club for a sunset view and refreshment. Your family could enjoy Grampa Tony's also within 100 yards of your stay.

If you enjoy the convenience of staying close to the action this is the accommodation for you. One flight of stairs, unpack and park your car for the rest of your stay if you chose.

The Bell Street is no longer being advertised and operated as a bar/restaurant/event center. There may be a rare occasion that an event happens (more to help the community). Please check our website calendar at https://www.bellstreettavernmi.com. Click on the calendar tab and see if anything is posted. There are a total of 4 units as a part of this building and there may some noise from your neighbors (similar to an apartment). We just want you to be aware this is not a single family rental unit.

In a great location for easy access to restaurants and shops. Good location for an easy 10 minute drive to the State Park and Town Park. Accommodations were comfortable and clean. We had everything we needed. The outside seating under the deck was a huge plus for extra space to get outdoors even in the rain. Would highly recommend this location and host.

Short weekend stay

Love staying at the Bell Tavern. I appreciate the ability to walk around the main town area as Tom’s is always a good time. Ample space and a well stocked kitchen also make for an easy and quick weekend.

Great location! Very clean and affordable.

Its location was great for shopping and the restaurants. Within walking distance of our needs. Enjoyed the Big Bay park beach! The only negative was the stairs. Both my wife and I have bad knees.

Magic on Madeline

This property is in the BEST location if you want to be downtown! Everything I needed or wanted was a stone's throw away. The private balcony was the best, for treeline sunsets and a distant-water-view. The place itself was clean and comfortable, and, on further review, far too big for just me, but I did enjoy the space! All of the modern conveniences. Great host - - I will be back... with more people! ;)

Very convenient to all island activities

We enjoyed staying at the Bell St. Downtown Oasis! It's so centrally located and close to the ferry dock, restaurants, groceries, etc. Also, for swimming you can easily drive down the street to Joni's Beach, which is a perfectly nice in-town beach. Or you can go to the Town Park, State Park, or other spots you'll find on the map or by asking around. The apartment is very close to Tom's, a late night drinking and music spot, but we were not bothered by any noise. This would be an especially good spot for "newbies" to the island, since it is so centrally located.

Long fall weekend family get away

Property is in great location walking distance to ferry, grocery shopping, shops and activities. Clean and as described. Enough room for 3 adults and 2 kids. Private balcony plus large shared covered deck with view (including from unit) to Lake Superior. Friendly locals playing croquet in grass nextdoor. Last night (Saturday 10/21) was a Halloween themed party event below with loud music until after 11pm. Would have been nice to know in advance (no info on website). Guest provided WiFi had fair (poor signal) and kept cutting out when steaming on Roku (no local channels). Would recommend but if loud noise bothers you at night then check with host in advance.

The Perfect Stay on Madeline Island

My family stayed at Dave’s Bell Street place for my wedding weekend on Madeline Island and they loved every minute. The place was so clean , cozy, and conveniently located. It was close to so many main shops but they never heard a peep from the outside world. Definitely book this place if you’re looking to stay on Madeline Island!

Great condo, beautiful island

Condo was great. Very quite, large condo. Great outside patio space. Island has a handful of restraunts and gift shops. One highlight was swimming in the crystal clear and cool waters of superior in Big bay. The yact club has a heated outdoor pool jacuzzi and sauna that you can pay to use. We didnt get a chance because we ran out of time. Get there early to rent a moped. They rent out fast.
