Candy and I celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary on Beaver Island this past October. We stayed at the Emerald Island Hotel.Our room was very nice and modern. The owners picked us up at the airport and drove us back when we checked out. They even let us drive a Jeep for the weekend which allowed us to see the entire island. I would highly advice booking your stay with them on your next trip to Beaver Island.

Have to say this was the best Hotel on the Island! The owners Anna & Vic are fairly new and have done an outstanding job on remodeling and customer service. Anna picked us up at the Ferry, drove us around town and gave us a history lesson and pointed out great places to eat. This was so thoughtful! Not only did they rent us their vehicle they were so very kind and genuine. They even brought us to the Ferry when our stay was over. I can not say enough about these two wonderful and thoughtful people. They made our stay wonderful and I truly did not want to leave. I certainly will recommend for anyone visiting the Island to stay here. The room was huge and beautifully decorated. They have done an outstanding job remodeling. Hats off to the two of you! Thank you again!Rooms: Our room was beautiful and had a view of the lake. Everything you need was there. The new owners have spent a lot of time and money in remodeling this place and you can see the love throughout.Safety: I can not say enough about safety, the whole Island is safe and everyone knows everyone. I feel like I stepped back into time, what a wonderful place.Walkability: Location is in town and walkable to everything you need.

We traveled to the island this weekend for a wedding and had an awesome stay at Emerald Isle Inn. We had 4 adults and 2 kids in a 2 queen bedroom suite and it was the perfect fit for us. The kids slept on the brand new pull out couch and it was so comfy! The full kitchen was awesome and helped us out so much in the mornings to be able to cook breakfast.The owners are beyond amazing and accommodating!We enjoyed walking around the community visiting the playground on the beach, community center, and gift shop. If I had to pick, the only thing we would change is bigger towels but it did not affect our stay or how much we loved everything!!We plan to return in the summer to be able to enjoy the beaches in better weather and are excited to book again!

It's a wonderful place to visit and just relax. Be prepared to take care of yourself in some ways, but the owners were extremely helpful and very kind. They can give you information for places to eat and to explore. I wish everyone could visit Beaver Island and see Anna and Vic VanDeventer, the owners.Rooms: Rooms were very clean and well furnished.Walkability: It was easy to walk downtown and visit the historical museum and other shops.Noteworthy details: You are close to Lake Michigan, of course, but take some so you can pick up some apples to bring home. Just beautiful apples everywhere you drove on the island. Or even while you are at the hotel, fix you an apple pie. We were there early October.

Vic and Anna treat you like family from the moment you meet them. They are warm, wonderful people who are literally welcoming you into their home. Their property is walking distance from the dock, impeccably clean and very comfortable.We were there mid September and so did not need to use the A/C but know that they have it in case you are there in summer weather. Our first trip to the island, but would absolutely stay here again.

We spent one night at the Emerald Isle Hotel this past week, and would absolutely come back. Vic and Anna were wonderful hosts with plenty of information. Vic picked us up at the airport even though I forgot to call as we got on the plane as instructed, and he gave us a tour of the town on our way to the hotel. The hotel itself was clean, in good condition. Our room was very clean, the bed was very comfortable and the little kitchenette was very handy. Location made it very easy to get to all locations we were interested in, we did rent bikes from the Happy Paddler which were delivered to the hotel prior to our arrival and picked up after we had left. Overall, I would highly recommend the Emerald Isle Hotel for your Beaver Island visit!

First trip to Beaver Island. Absolutely loved our stay with Vic and Anna. Very friendly and amazing hosts. Our rooms were very clean and had everything you might need. They were very informative about the island. They called us several times to make sure other arrangements we made were going well. Definitely will stay with them again.

After booking the hotel room for my impromptu trip to Welke Airport, Vic offer to pick me up and drop me off after the stay. Vic and Anna are very gracious hosts catering to the needs of their clients. They know how to make things happen.

We love BI, and the Emerald Island Inn is a great place to stay. Really nice rooms and Vic and Anna were very welcoming. Nice to learn their Hoosier connection. We were able to check in early, and they were very gracious when accidentally packed our room key in our luggage, and had to mail it back when we got home. We will definitely plan to stay again.
