"A Dark Sky International–certified sanctuary and the first such designation in Michigan, this island location offers exceptionally low light pollution that makes it ideal for stargazing with binoculars or a telescope. It's recommended as a prime spot for seeing faint stars and galaxies, particularly on new-moon nights such as July 5 when skies are darkest." - Staff Author

Beaver Island Retreat! Where do I begin? One of the best experiences we’ve had! Simply put, the entire place is fantastic and well thought out. It’s like a dream camping trip where all the hard work is done and you just get to go relax and retreat. Maria and Brian were welcoming and the absolute best hosts. They took the time to interact with us and other guests and always made sure we were comfortable and felt welcome, almost like family! Whether you are looking to mingle and make acquaintances or simply be left to your own vises this is a wonderful place to do either. Needless to say we will definitely be returning and look forward to our next stay. Thank you soo much Maria and Brian, you truly are the best and your hospitality is unmatched!

Oh my goodness what an unexpected surprise. We had a pretty good idea when booking what the experience would be like or at least we thought we did! Our hosts, from the moment of booking, cared about you and your experience. Maria reached out and basically said (but much better), I’m at your service how can I help? Do you need reservations, car rental, etc? And when we arrived Brian provided an overview of safety, where everything s on the island and based on what you want to experience, places to enjoy. Throughout the stay everything was provided, everything. And if you forgot something did official to you, there is. Store in town or they may have backup. We forgot our toothpaste thinking it would be provided but I didn’t read the list close enough. Everything is environment conscious but lacking nothing. They have a BBQ (or as a Texan I would call grilling shack), with anything you can imagine short of a branding iron but I bet if you wanted one they would have it for you. Everything was always clean. Bathrooms never ever dirty; immaculate, And it’s up to you how engaged you are with other guests but they have a pavilion where most people gathered for a fire, talk, laugh, play games. And on our visit we were lucky enough to see the Aurora come out to play If you’re heading to Beaver Island skip the hotels and try this out. You won’t be disappointed.

We always have the most wonderful stay! Maria and Brian are absolutely amazing hosts; they truly think of everything you could possibly need or want. The community kitchen is such a welcoming gathering place, and we especially loved the new dining area—it’s cozy, comfortable, and perfect for connecting with others. The beds were incredibly comfortable, which made for the best night’s sleep after days full of adventure.||Maria and Brian go above and beyond to help with everything, from arranging transportation to recommending great hiking spots nearby. Their care and hospitality made the whole experience seamless and relaxing.||This is the perfect getaway for a group of adult friends looking to unwind, enjoy nature, and feel completely taken care of. We can’t wait to come back for a fourth time!

My wife and I just returned from our second stay at Beaver Island Retreat, and it somehow outshone our first. As avid stargazers, we’re always searching for truly dark skies—and Beaver Island offers some of the clearest, darkest skies in the United States. Watching the Milky Way stretch overhead, with countless stars and even the occasional shooting star, is an experience you can’t put into words. It’s pure magic.||Maria and Brian, the retreat’s owners, are unequaled hosts. Their genuine hospitality, attention to detail, and love of the island make every guest feel like family. Our safari-style tent was perfectly prepared—cozy, spotless, and thoughtfully equipped. Add in a private fire pit, hammocks, and beautifully maintained grounds, and it’s easy to see why this place is so special.||For anyone who dreams of combining luxury camping with world-class stargazing, Beaver Island Retreat is second to none. What was already an unforgettable first trip became even more spectacular on our return. We’re already looking forward to visit number three under those incredible skies!||Robert & Rita

Tent was cute, safe and dry from a thunderstorm that came through sat night. We had a great time. Kitchen was a bonus to have. Bathrooms were cleaned quickly after each guest. They had called a week before to check with me on everything and I was told about the flight I could take instead of the ferry. So much faster and not much more than the ferry. The car rental was like being a teenager again. It didn't bother us that it wasn't a new car or had dust on/in it. We were happy to have a car to use on the island.

Let me tell you about the best experience you will ever have by going here for your vacation.. . |As a single woman, being uncomfortable here never entered my mind. The accommodations were top notch in every way possible… the amenities were more than any hotel could offer, peaceful sleep, beauty of nature, wonderful hosts that make you feel at home, comfort in every way possible. This is truly the place to stay when going to the island. Maria and Brian know how to make your experience the best it can be. |If you haven’t tried this before, just do it! You will want to go back again and again… No hotel could beat this experience.

We were only sorry about one thing after staying at Beaver Island Retreat and that was that we couldn’t stay longer. This was seriously one of my favorite vacations and it was largely because the retreat is so special. The island is wonderful too of course! Brian and Maria worked hard to build a very special place and they go out of their way to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. It’s like an outdoor hotel with lots of thoughtful touches. I would give this place 10 stars if I could and I want to go back!

This was such a wonderful experience! I was beyond impressed with the amenities. They supplied more than enough to allow for a relaxing stay. The retreat is pure natural beauty. Our site was so private & quiet yet a short trail away from uncompromisingly clean bathrooms & a professionally equipped kitchen. The owners have planned for anything & everything a guest may need to enjoy exploring Beaver Island! And the beds & bedding were wonderful! We slept really comfortably. And they have coffee for you when you wake up! Our dog loved it too 😁
