Large house - Lake Michigan waterfront - "Island Aerie" in Beaver Island

Beaver Island is a remote and sparsely populated island located in
the northeastern region of Lake Michigan, two hours by boat from
Charlevoix, Michigan. The island is mostly forested and is thick
with wildlife. The quaint little town of St. James is located at the
northeastern corner of the island on gorgeous Paradise Bay. Public
transportation to the island can be purchased from ferry and airplane
services to and from Charlevoix.
The Island boasts lovely uncrowded beaches and many year-round
outdoor recreational and sporting opportunities, such as boating,
fishing, kayaking, hunting, hiking, camping, horse-back riding,
biking, and cross-country skiing.
The Beaver Island community is tight-knit and small, but it provides
for all the basic needs of visitors and year-round residents,
including a well-stocked grocery store, a hardware store, a medical
center, a library, marinas, churches, several gas stations, and of
course, bars and restaurants. There are many unique local delights to
discover, such as a fresh fish market, and the delightful "Toy
Museum."
Island Aerie is a large, nearly-new, totally custom-built house of
unique post & beam design. It is located on waterfront property
overlooking the mouth of Paradise Bay. It is close enough to reach
town by an easy walk or bike ride, yet secluded and adjacent to
natural areas. It has large, sunny first and second story decks
overlooking the water and is graced with large windows which invite
in light and the outdoors. The house is contructed of reclaimed
barnwood which is used for the post & beam interior structure,
allowing for open vaulted interior spaces and dramatic design.
The house has four bedrooms and sleeps 12 persons in beds. On the
first floor there is a master bedroom with a king bed and master
bathroom. The master bathroom has a two-person shower and Jacuzzi
bathtub. There is a second bathroom on the first floor, with a
shower.
On the second floor is another bedroom with a king bed, a bedroom
with two sets of bunk beds, and another bedroom with two sets of bunk
beds and a twin. There is a full bathroom on the second floor. Also
on the second floor is a TV room with a "wet bar" just inside the
doorway to the second floor deck.
In the third floor loft room there is a twin bed, second TV, and foosball table.
All bed linens and bath towels are provided.
The house has only been available for rent for four years, and all
appliances and furniture are nearly new. The kitchen includes a
dishwasher, microwave, gas range/convection oven, coffee maker, and
other counter-top appliances. It is fully stocked with plenty of
dishes and food preparation pans and utensils for feeding your group
home-cooked meals.
