Had an enjoyable couple days staying at host Seamus’s house in the woods. It was a very quiet peaceful location toward the southern end of the island, surrounded by nature. Seamus made us a yummy all organic breakfast one morning. He is a wealth of knowledge about the island and all things natural. We did break the silence of the island bombing around the 2-track roads in a UTV we rented for 4 hours. Was a great weekend.

This was our first time to the island and as such, we decided to fly in. What an incredible way to see the natural beauty of Beaver Island! Once on the island we were met by a soft spoken, intelligent and oh so knowledgeable host, Seamus. Seamus quickly met our every request, we stocked up on supplies at the local grocery store and we were smoothly transported to our charming island accommodations. This cabin in the woods is a delightfully gorgeous summer cabin and sits comfortably amongst thick Northern Michigan vegetation and allows for a secluded private getaway. As this is a shared space, Seamus is available in any capacity guests request. Our requests to see great beaches, the mother birch and the entirety of the island by truck were appeased. Would definitely not have seen as much of this island without such a gracious guide. Should also mention that coffee, tea or hot cocoa, toiletries, linens and bug spray were provided as needed. Perfect stay for people who are new to the island as Seamus has thought of everything. Thank you Seamus! Absolutely loved our stay.

2 nights enjoying the stars and the BIMF!

An awesome experience! Seamus really took the time to make us feel welcome, and his knowledge of the unique history of the island was the highlight of our trip. Seamus took us down backroads, and gave us a view of the island that we would have not have explored without his guidance. A great trip!

My friends and I expected to go and have a nice time! We went into the house and upstairs where we was supposed to sleep, it was just 3 air mattresses on the floor outside his room! He planned on staying in the house with us. 3 single woman! There was a no electronic rule... no signal on our phones for over 3 miles, no internet. He had an alter in the room with horns on it. And when we said we didn't feel comfortable staying alone with a man we don't know I got less than half what I paid back. Then had to pay even more for a hotel!! It is ridiculous! In no way is that ok... and we are not the first women he has done this too! We were the 2nd group of people just this season! I will never go back to Beaver island because of everything! I would have never paid the money for that place if I would have know everything! Don't do it!!! Go somewhere else!!!!

The secluded property in the woods was perfect for unwinding and relaxing. The host was amazing and really made us feel welcome.

Seamus was a wonderful host and very attentive - he is extremely knowledgeable about Beaver Island history and had many suggestions of things to discover. We learned a lot about the island and explored as much as possible. Seamus made us a great breakfast on one of the mornings! Would highly recommend this host!

Our stay at Tara’s meadow was one of the best experiences my wife and I have had in all of our travels. Not just because of the beautiful property, but more so because of Seamus. He is truly a genuine person who cares for others and beaver island. I would definitely recommend anyone interested in staying to give it a shot.
