Beaver Island Chalet — Light-Filled Retreat in a Private Woodland Setting Welcome to your quiet getaway on Beaver Island. This well-designed chalet-style home is tucked into a private cove on the island’s scenic northwest side, offering a rare combination of comfort, privacy, and convenience. Surrounded by mature woods and filled with natural light, the home provides a peaceful setting whether you’re looking to relax, host guests, or explore the island. The main living area features an open layout with large windows on all sides and a wood-burning fireplace—perfect for cozy nights in any season. A spiral staircase leads to a spacious loft, and skylights add to its bright and open feel. There are three separate sleeping areas: a private lower-level suite with a queen bed and walk-in closet, a queen sleeper sofa in the living room, and a loft that includes a king bed and a twin futon. Built in bookcase and an abundance of storage areas create an easy living environment. Two full bathrooms, one on each level, make the space comfortable for families or visitors. Outside, the home is wrapped with decks on three sides, offering great spots for outdoor dining, grilling, or simply enjoying the peace and quiet of the woods. The cove offers plenty of room for future gardens or landscaping projects, with the surrounding nature providing a calm, scenic backdrop. Located just a mile from the sandy shores of Donegal Bay and two miles from downtown shops and restaurants, the property offers both seclusion and easy access to everything Beaver Island has to offer. Currently operating as a successful short-term rental, it’s an excellent option for a personal retreat, vacation home, or income-generating property. This bright, comfortable home is a great opportunity to enjoy the natural beauty of Beaver Island with all the conveniences of modern living.
