The house is always clean and comfortable, with some goofy board games and lots of cozy blankets. We appreciated the quiet place to rest on our work trip to the island.

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!

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.

Love the house but the porch and lawn and bushes all need attended. Could use a good lawn care service.

Good place to have as your home base while you explore the island. Convenient walk to everything in town, and the owners are very friendly and helpful.

This was perfect for a weekend getaway with my husband. Walking distance to the nearby grocery store, brewery, and restaurant. Carol also rents vehicles which is a bonus. We will definitely be back.

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!

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!

Excellent little house with lots of places to sleep. Accoss the street from the northside harbor and just a few black walk to the town center.

The owners are in the process of updating. An introduction to the alterations in progress would have been helpful. We enjoyed the location, the manager/owners, and the grill.

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.

FIrst time on Beaver Island
For our needs, traveling with young kids - this was the perfect place for us. Thank you so much for providing a great spot.
*These did not affect our stay, but you may want to look at the dining room and living room outlets that don't work.

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!

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.

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.

Cozy home base
We spent 4 nights at the blue house. Our host was very responsive to everything we needed, and made us feel welcome. A great place to come home to after a day exploring the island and its beaches. The location is within walking distance to everything in St. James.

Freesoil House
The house had all the amenities and space that we needed. There were only 4 of us so there was ample bedding. We didn't have a car but were within walking distance of restaurants, museums, a rental car location, bike rental location and gift shops. We didn't have AC (August) but didn't need it because the evenings are cool. Location was perfect and the owner (Carol) was more than accommodating.
