About this house rental
Riley Ridge on Beaver Island: Lake Michigan Views & Starry Nights
Escape to a peaceful waterfront retreat on Beaver Island. Nestled on a quiet ridge overlooking Lake Michigan, this beautiful home offers the perfect balance of secluded relaxation and easy island access. Enjoy panoramic lake views, incredible stargazing, and brand-new private stairs leading directly down to the water.
Getting to the Island Beaver Island is a true getaway, accessible only by air or water from Charlevoix, MI. We highly recommend planning your transit well in advance:
By Ferry: The Beaver Island Boat Company operates a scenic 2-hour passenger and vehicle ferry into St. James Harbor. Vehicle reservations are required and fill up quickly!
By Plane: For a faster trip, Fresh Air Aviation and Island Airways offer a quick 15-minute flight from Charlevoix directly to the island.
Island Transit: Because our retreat sits 9 miles from downtown St. James, bringing a car on the ferry or booking a local vehicle rental is highly recommended to fully enjoy your stay.
The Space: Our home blends cozy comfort with breathtaking nature. Wake up to pastel sunrises over the water and wind down by the fire pit under a night sky thick with stars.The Location: Tucked away on a quiet ridge just 9 miles from downtown St. James.
Water Access: Newly installed stairs provide easy, direct access down the 6-foot retaining wall to the shoreline.The Views: Floor-to-ceiling living room windows frame spectacular views of Lake Michigan.
Outdoor Living: A house-length porch ideal for morning coffee, plus a gas grill and fire pit for evening relaxation.

Main Bedroom (1st Floor): Private oasis featuring a Queen bed and a convenient ensuite bathroom.
The "Bunkhouse" (2nd Floor): Great for kids or singles, featuring one Twin-over-Full bunk bed, an additional Twin bed, and an optional roll-away Twin bed.

It was a beautiful home!! But you might want to think about including handicapped showers or something for your older adults. It was difficult for husband to get into bath tub/ shower. He almost fell getting out.

Lovely stay at this property on Beaver Island. We came to see the stars and had wonderful views of the Milky Way, the northern lights, and Jupiter rising. We rented bikes from Happy Paddle and enjoyed the10 mile ride to town. Thanks for a great stay!
