Sunsets, Sandy Beach and Seclusion; enjoy them all at this stunning lake house

Green Woods Over The Waves is an unforgettable lakefront getaway situated on 5.5 acres with 400 feet of private, sandy Lake Michigan beach. Offering 5-bedrooms and 3.5-bathrooms this is the perfect setting to relax, unwind, and rest with your family. If it's outdoor adventure you're seeking, Green Woods is the perfect location for exploring Beaver Island; spending days kayaking (*), biking, hiking, or taking a refreshing swim in the crystal clear water; evenings cooking in the chef's kitchen or grilling on the expansive lakeside deck; and closing out the day around a beach-side bonfire while watching the sunset, followed by spectacular stargazing.

This home is conveniently located 3, 8, or 8.5 miles from Beaver Island Airport, Welke Airport or the Ferry, respectively. Downtown Beaver Island holds great restaurants/delis, brewery, grocery store, and shops/museums to explore. Car, e-bike and boat rentals are available on the island.

A washer and dryer are available in the home for your convenience.

Awesome Fall stay!
We all really enjoyed the house! Plenty of space for our family to spread out. We all could easily come together for food and games. Enjoyed fires outside and walking on the beach. Kids enjoyed sightseeing “the big rock”. They also played with some toys at the house and picked out books to read. We loved the sunsets at the house each night too!

Our new favorite spot!
This home truly deserves more then a 5 star rating! It is so clean, newly remodeled and has everything you could think of for your stay! Very generous amounts of dish soap, dish detergent, paper towel, toilet papers and laundry pods! The kitchen has everything you need from every size baking bowl, all the pans and baking sheets and everything was extremely nice! I love finding great VRBO’s to stay in when traveling and this was everyone’s favorite so far! The home is BEAUTIFUL, extremely clean and large with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating! Truly the dream place to stay for vacation! Some of our favorite things were the 5 kayaks, the fire pit, the bunk room was a hit for the kiddos, the amazing sunsets, we love that it was secluded with no neighbors and felt spoiled how nice the home was! We’re on the boat headed home and missing it already!!! Thank you so much for the amazing stay!!!

Amazing House and Beach
The title of this review pretty much sums it up. I can’t recommend this house enough. Gorgeous inside and out, super comfortable, very well stocked, and an absolutely wonderful beach. Don’t hesitate to stay here.

We had a great time at this amazing property. The setting , on Lake Michigan, was incredibly beautiful. The accommodations fit our group very well, with big gathering places, a beautiful porch and many outdoor and indoor diversions. We did not need anything from our hosts( everything we needed/wanted was there😊), but they were very attentive in communications.

Beach, Sunsets, and Stars!
The house was lovely! It cannot be overrated how beautiful the sunsets were. And the stars at night! We enjoyed the kayaks. The listing states life vests for two adults, but they had life vests in every size imaginable. We didn’t need to bring our own toys along - there were plenty of toys and kids’ books available!

Family Vacation 2023
We loved this property. If you are looking for isolation and natural beauty, look no further. Our family just wanted to hang together for a week with no specific agenda. Beaver Island and this property fit this need perfectly. We spent days at the beach, both on kayaks and in the sand. We built fires at night right on the beach. During our trips to the town, we always found some water activity to keep us entertained. Weather was perfect and days were long.

Great family getaway spot
Very nice home that was perfect for a multi generational family get together. Very peaceful location with a large deck to view the awesome Lake Michigan sunsets. The kitchen was fantastic and stocked with all the cookware and utensils you would ever need. The island itself is such a laid back unique place and it was great to be back on it once again. We are home now for several days and I still find myself unconsciously giving the Beaver Island wave to passing drivers. Thanks again Jon and Carolyn for sharing your property!

Fantastic lakeside home away from home!
What a delightful week!! Our family of multiple generations all had a great time. The weather was perfect!! The property is well cared for and the house was very clean and tidy. We really appreciated having a full compliment of dishes, pots and pans and supplies like plastic wrap, foil, etc. We do wish we had known there is a Pelaton in the workout room and had brought shoes for it. Somehow we managed to find other activities though 😊. Jon and Carolyn responded quickly with the couple of questions we had. They are helpful and kind people that clearly love their property and want ther guests to feel the same. We felt comfortable and relaxed. Thank you Jon and Carolyn! Definitely a place we'd return to!
