About this house rental
Kelley’s Cove has been a cherished family home for many years, filled with wonderful memories. Conveniently located between the ferry and town, it offers beautiful water views, abundant wildlife, a grassy yard, and easy access to the water.
Located near the beginning of Fairbank Point, Kelley’s Cove faces southeast, providing beautiful views of the morning sunrise across the water. The home is located on a dug-in cove that provides well-protected water access with a dock. It is an ideal setting for boating, canoeing, kayaking, and casual fishing. The cove is about four feet deep with a soft mucky bottom.
The Kelley homestead was originally built in 1951 and has since undergone several additions and renovations. As was typical of homes built in the 50’s, it was common for bedrooms to be smaller and not have built in closets. There are 3 bedrooms with beds, nightstands, and an open wardrobe for clothes. There is one bathroom and a half bath setup in the laundry room. The living room has lovely front yard water view with door access to the front deck. The kitchen and pantry are equipped with the amenities you would expect for a comfortable stay. A laundry room with a washer and dryer is also provided. Towels and linens are included, as is Wi-Fi internet suitable for streaming.
The front deck includes a grill, table, and chairs - perfect for enjoying the view and outdoor meals. The dock offers one boat slip for guests, while the second slip is reserved for the caretaker’s boat. The front yard features a fire pit with log-style seating, and enough firewood for a campfire. Wildlife is abundant in the area. Guests often see two families of ducks raising their young in the cove, along with deer, sandhill cranes, and other wildlife in and around the lake. Please note that the private drive visible outside the kitchen window may occasionally be used by people who do not realize it is private.
Please refer to the calendar to see rates and availability. Rates vary according to the day of the week and seasonal demand. When staying a full week, a discount that is automatically applied. The Cleaning Fee, Michigan Tax and (online) Service Fee are clearly displayed during booking. No Pets unless discussed and owner approves them with a $50 pet fee. No Smoking. Check-in 4 PM and Check-out 10 AM

I cannot say enough about this home. I absolutely loved the layout of the house, the property, the amenities (every single thing you can think of, has already been thought about and is available should you need). Kerry (so sorry if I keep spelling this wrong) could not have been a better greeter/property manager/resource for island info. We were a little early for the season still so not as many fish as the boys would have liked but we'll be back for them to try again :). Kayaking (offered amenity), rock hunting, wildlife watching (periscope & binoculars on window sills, amazing idea!), exploring, quality time by a fire with the important people, getting lost and finding such beautiful places, it was hard to leave. The host is very easy to contact and very responsive. Literally not a negative thing to mention. I highly recommend booking and finding out for yourself.

We had an amazing time at Kelley’s Cove!! It was clean and cozy and we felt right at home! The wildlife, kayaking and star-gazing with s’mores, added so much to our stay! Thank you to Jason and Kari for a wonderful experience!

It's a very quiet place to stay. Very well stocked in case you forgot something. Kari was super nice and welcoming. Paddle board and kayak were there to use for free. Will stay again if we decide to go up that way again. Thank you so much Kari!!
