About this cottage rental

Windwood Cottage is a gorgeous custom home, located at the shores of Lake Michigan on one of the most beautifully secluded lakefront lots on Beaver Island.

This home is well appointed with all the amenities you could want to make your vacation stay comfortable and convenient. A modern and fully equipped gourmet kitchen will make hosting meals a breeze, and a screened in lakefront dining area will allow for a spectacular dining experience in any weather, with some of the best sunset views on the island.

Lounge in the lakefront cabana chairs or relax in the hammock as you listen to the waves just steps away. Enjoy the light and airy feeling of being in the woods even while indoors with this home’s 31 windows and skylights. In the fall, cozy up to a fire by the beautiful rock fireplace.

Unlike many rental properties, when you arrive at Windwood you’ll find high quality bed linens and towels awaiting you, as well as many cooking essentials, from oils to spices and more.

The cottage sleeps up to 12 people. There is a master bedroom on the main floor with a queen sized bed, and two bedroom upstairs with a queen bed in one and two twins in the other. In the fully finished basement, there is a queen bed and four bunk beds. There are two full bathrooms on the main and upper floor, and a half bathroom in the basement level.

Wifi is provided, as are streaming services though Apple TV and a large flatscreen TV.

Windwood Cottage is located just a few miles from downtown St. James, the ferry dock and the airport, yet it feels wild and remote. Less than a mile away is the famous Donegal Bay sand beach, and numerous hiking trails and backwoods dirt roads await your exploration.

Beaver Island is a true hidden gem, wild and remote - yet easily accessed by a regular ferry or a quick and inexpensive flight from Charlevoix, MI.

Windwood Cottage is available year round. Peak season rates apply beginning the second weekend in June through the third weekend in September.

Nice woodland setting with beautiful view. Thank you for the firewood supply. We enjoyed bonfires and fireplace when too windy to be outside. Loved the screened porch.

Just a spectacular spot, right on the northwest corner of the island. Pete was prompt and clear in communicating. We appreciated his flexibility. A great stay on a very special island!

We enjoyed our stay. House was nice. Fit everyone well with a bedroom and bathroom on each of the three levels (1/2 bath on lowest level). I liked being lakefront and in the trees. Kept the house cool and we could still enjoy the view once we walked out near the water.

The sunsets at this location were absolutely stunning. Having 3 floors with bedrooms and bathrooms on each floor allowed all of us to spread out when necessary. Great, secluded location, but close to town. Host was very responsive to all of our needs. Long, screened in porch is a great feature for any place on the island. Would highly recommend this location.
