Amazing island, great stay
Just a great place, start to finish. Carol makes you feel at home from the start and everything about the place was just so great. Can't say enough good things about the Blue House/Carol and Beaver Island as a whole. Already started figuring out how to go back next year!

Beaver Island Little Gem
Great little cottage just steps away from water, store, brewery, restaurant and short walk to much more! Beds were comfy, lots of fans to help keep cool and the host was accommodating. We also rented a car through them which is needed to get to the beaches. Also have electric bikes.

Our second year here!
We’ve now stayed here two years in a row. The location is perfect - literally a stone’s throw from the grocery store and the excellent breakfast cafe. The main part of town is a pleasant 15-minute walk away, and there you can find a few shops and a couple of cafes/restaurants. Carol is an excellent host, and she’s right next door if anything comes up. We hope to make it three years in a row next year :)

Great location, House was dirty
Pros: .Owners are wonderful and very helpful people. .The house is walking distance to everything you want to do, with the grocery store being a stone's throw away. .Even with the house being "in town" it was still quiet. .Directly next door the owner's also rent Ebikes and cars and have a cute gift shop, including the St. James Boat shop. Cons: .Is in desperate need of a deep cleaning; dust and cobwebs covered the wood walls and pretty much anything that wasn't used daily, like pictures, windowsills, etc. .The kitchen was scarcely stocked and it was difficult to prepare meals with the *few* items that were provided. The items that were provided were so used and broke down that it was maddening. Also, the kitchen was greasy...the cabinets, stove and dishes. .Outside deck was dilapidated and you had to be really intentional where you stepped with bare feet so as not to catch a nail or broken board. .Spiral staircase was sketchy. .Broken furniture, uncomfortable beds. Overall, if your main goal is a great location with walkability, this is a wonderful spot. However, if you're looking for a place to stay where you can cook meals, tuck in and have a homey vibe, maybe this isn't it. Last, I'd like to note that the owner's did state they will be remodeling this house this winter. Perhaps it will be updated for the 2023 season!

Could be nicer
Nice house, the experience could be nicer with a bit of cleaning and uncluttering. Compared to the rest, the bathroom was clean. Beds are comfortable, kitchen is lacking equipment: glases, cuterly, more than one(!) pot. Nice terrace. Easy Check-in. Good location close to supermarket and café.

We loved our quick stay at the house. It was a perfect location to go for a run in the morning, grab groceries from across the street, or grab breakfast (and a mimosa) at Delwhinnies. Highly recommended and lots of space inside!

Great hosts! Great location.
The cabin was exactly as described in the listing. Carol was a spectacular host and very helpful. She did her best to help us get around on the island and took care of any issue we had. The location is perfect right in the middle of town and less than a minute walk to the grocery, the bakery and the whiskey point brewery. You can't ask for a better stay.

Cute place for a quiet visit
Great for a couple or two, or a small family. Quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed the stay. If you bring a full-to-capacity group of adults, you’ll probably feel crowded. But, if you’re a couple or small family, you’ll have a great time! Comfortable quiet sleeping, a place to cook breakfast, everything you need!

Long Weekend on the Island
We had a wonderful first visit to Beaver Island and our stay at the Freesoil Blue House made it comfortable and easy. Carol and Dan were very accommodating and helpful. With a short walk to the grocery store and a well equipped kitchen, cooking in was an easy option. Not to say that there wasn't ample options for eating out either a walk or short bike ride away. We are definitely looking forward to our next visit.

Clean, comfortable, and convenient!
We had a very nice stay at this house. It was for just one night and worked out perfectly. It is very clean and comfortable and in a good location with an awesome host! It was an easy walk to the Shamrock for dinner and Dalwhinnie's Bakery and Deli is right across the street for breakfast. Since it was a quick trip, we didn't use the kitchen or deck, but it's great to have them available. Would definitely stay there again.
